That Suit for Libel

A disagreement about advertising arose
with weekly" Journal.
Following it. an attack on us appeared in
their editorial columns; sneering at the claims
we 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
us about claimed that In many cases of appen-
dicitis operation could be avoided by dis
continuing indigestble food, washing out the
bowels and taking predigested food Grape
Nuts
Observe we said MANY cases not sll.
Wouldn't that knowledge be a comfort to
those who fear surgeons knife 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 not a DR. and had no medical
knowledge of appendicitis and never nvesti-
gated to find out If the testimonial letters to
our Co. were genuine.
famous surgeon testified that when an
operation was required Grape-Nuts would not
obviate it. True.
We never claimed that when an operation
was required Grape-Nuts would prevent it.
The surgeon testified bacteria rgerms1 help
ed to bring on an attack and bacteria was
grown by undigested food frequently.
We claimed and proved by other famous
experts that undigested food was largely
responsible for appendicitis.
We showed by expert testimony that many
cases are healed without a knife but by stop
ping the OF food which did not digest and
when food was required again II was helpful
to use a predigested food which did not over
tax the weakened organs OF digestion.

A number of points have been rails
ed on which a rehearing on the whole
case is asked 1t is claimed that the
notices OF election and some of the
ballots were in error and the describ-
ing of the boundries OF the proposed
county and an application has also
been made. on behalf OF those interest
ed in Burke county to amend the
record in the supreme court with re-

been organized by a vote or the people

TO AGAIN THRESH
MOUSE RIVER CASE
SUPREME COURT or STATE WILL
AGAIN TAKE PROPOSITION
UNDER CONSIDERATION.

Bismarck. N. d.. April 1,-tspeciaD
The supregne couAt has granted a re-
hearing in the dFAiAage case that
came up from Bottfneau and McHenry
counties and is known as the Mouse
River Drainage Case" The drainage
commissioners of the two counties Oh
tanned ppofiles and plans form state
Engineer Atkinson for the drainage Of
some %, 600 acres OF land by the con-
struction of a drain, whose outlet was
some fen miles in Canada, in the
municipality OF Arthur. An action for
4 restraining order was brought
against the drainage commissioners
and was granted by the district court
The supreme court later. reversed this
decision. Now a rehearing has peen
granted and the matter will be gone
over again. The principal questions
upon which the rehearing is granted
are these:
/. From the record mere, wherein
is title vested in the bed or channea
OF the Mouse river along the course OF
the proposed drain north OF the IN
ternational boundary.
2. In case it should be found that
such title is vested in riparian owners
will be requirements of our statutes
providing for the construction OF
drains be satisfied, and jurisdiction to
establish such drain be conferred on
the drainage commissioners by any
act other that the conveyance to the
counties of Bottineau and McHenry of
the full title held by these riparian
owners?
3. Whether deviating from the
channel or the river and digging the
ditch to some extent outside Of the
channel of the river makes 1t neces-
sary to secure title to the land to
the county.
The date Of the argument is to be
settled by the court and the attorneys
later but 1t Is not thought the matter
will come before the state supreme
court until after a decision has been
handed down by the supreme court of
the United States in case pending
there now in which some Of the same
points involved IN the Mouse river
drainage case" are present.
