That Suit for Libel
Postum Cereal Co., Ltd. Gave Splendid Cha
to Bring Out Facts

A disagreement about advertising arose
with weekly" Journal
Following 1t, an attack on us appeared in
their editorial columns; sneering at the claims
made particularly regarding Appendicitis.
We replied through the regular papers and
the weekly" thought We hit back rather too
hard and #thereupon sued for libel.
The advertisement the weekly" attacked
as about claimed that in many cases Of appen-
dicitis an operation could be avoided by dis
continuing indigestible food, washing out the
bowels and taking a predigested food Grape
Nuts.
Observe we said MANY cases not all.
Wouldn't that knowledge be a comfort to
those who fear surgeons knife as they fear
death?
The weekly writer said that was lie.
We replied that he was ignorant of the facts
He was put on the stand and compelled to
admit he was not DR.. and had no medical

WOMEN MISSED 4 CHANGE.

The small vote cast by women of Boston for school trustees does not tend to prove-what is so often asseht- ed by advocates of woman suffrage that they will take keen interest in state and municipal affairs if they en- joy the suffrage. There is no depart Insnt of the municipal government which should concern women more vitally than the management of schools.
 Here. if anywhere. they should show that they appreciate what their influe- ence can do and demonstrate. by going to the polls and voting for the best men and the best measures. how they exercise the right of suffrage where they have it

time the listing is over but that is the thing the management wants to find out right now so that if it is neces sary other provisions can be made even if beds and bedding have to be bought and shipped in by express. It will take little time to do that and il is not a desirable thing to do if it can be avoided so every citizen who can possibly make room for q guest of any sort is urged to report the fact at once either through filling the blanks published in the local papers and sending them to headquarters. telephoning. or coming in person to state just what can be done to help out. There are many cots available in the city. hundreds of them in fact and another carload is on the way but cots are the easiest part of it. Bed ding is harder to get and more eXpen- sive than cots. Anyone who has room and bedding can no doubt be supplied easily with the necessary cots if they will take the matter up with the aVi- ation committee or their respective furniture dealers.
 There are two points to all this one is that an immense crowd is com ing and it must be cared for. The other is that the committee must know just as soon as possible what the people of Phoenix are going to do about it.

"H0MEbU|LOERS' IS
 NOW INCORPORATED
The Perfection of Plan That Has
 Long Been Under Way.

The "HomebuiIders' is the name of a new corporation with a capital stock of s1.000.0O0. whose articles have been filed and which is now ready for business Mention was made a few days ago in these columns of what was proposed to be done. and the an- nouncement is now made that the do- ing of it has begun. The incorpOra- tors are +. II. Greene. J. S. Griffin, Vernon Cook, and Walter Talbot The directors the above named and G. M. Hahn, C. D. Doris. Ancil Martin, l.. w Coggins and H. E. Wilkinson. The officers are: R. H. Greene. president: Walter Talbot. vice president: Vernon Cook, secretary; Geo. M. Hahn, treas urer: II. E. Wilkinson. counsel: ]. J. Cassidy. superintendent of construc- tion. The purpose of the corporation is to build nice houses for the people who have very little money; that is. 10 per cent or more. of the most of the kind of a house they want to have built for them. made to order, as it were.
 The stock of the company consists of 500. .000 shares common stock and 200.00O shares preferred stock. par value s1. A sufficient amount of the stock has been subscribed for already to begin business, and the new com pany has already made one trans action. The preferred stock is offered for those. who want it. but most of the subscribers are taking common stock. The difference is this: The preferred stock is guaranteed per cent interest from the first profits received and none thereafter. except that in the event of liquidation the preferred stock would be cared for first. It is evidently the best buy for d man who wants to take no chances and is satisfied with per cent. but for those who expect to share in larger profits the common stock is better in the event the company makes any sort of a success of it's enterprise, as the promoters feel sure they will. judging by the wonderful successes of companies in Los An geles. after which this is patterned exactly There would be nothing to it in d dead town. but it is contended that it is bound to succeed in a town where houses are needed. and that is surely the situation in Phoenix.
 The common. stock is assured of & per cent interest out of whatever profits there may be after the pre- ferred stock has received it's per cent. Any additional profits that may be made will go into. the surplus" fund to be disposed of as the direct DTS shall see fit, either in declaring dividends or holding as a reserve for

added investment If there is a sur plus and dividends are declared above the per cent. it will raise the price of unsold stock and give it a good market If it is held and invested the property is there and the com mon stock will own it.
 All of that is for the information of the man with money. What fol- lows is for the man who has very little money and no home. If he wants to build a S2.O00 house and has s2OO. Homebuilders will do business with him. They will let him plan his house through their architect and their superintendent will build it and the company will pay for it in cash and take the title to it. giving him an agreement to turn the property over to him as soon as he has paId for it. He will have to pay monthly just enough to equal the renting value of that kind of house plus taxes and insurance It has been figured out that by that plan man will own his own home all the time and be out but d trfle more than he would have otherwise paid in rent But he can pay it out any time he wants to if he has the money. The more he pays the faster he stops the interest. and the sooner it is his property. It Is all the same to the company, for when he pays for his house the company will have the money with which to build one for somebody else.
 The advantages OT saving are those of building and loan or any other reg ular obligation. The additional ad- vantage is that he is in a fair way to be property owner and get his home before there is any added raise in values, so he can take advantage of the unearned increment that he would lose if he waited until he saved his money before he built. That ad- vancing value is further protection for the company. while it maintains ownership and bonus for the econO- mist who hurries up and pays for his house.
 By an arrangement with the com pany. the agency wilt be in the office of the Greene X Griffin Investment company. They will keep the books there and conduct the business of the company. The plan has done much to build up Los Angeles. and it is believed it will have the same result here. It gives the investor chance and the homebuilder a chance, and at the same time it is building up Phoe nix and helping everybody.
