gan the sad-eyed. undersized little
man on the car. Sure you do. Now
let me tell you something. See that
big apartment house over there on

block right next to It?
well. there weren't any apartment
houses or business blocks on 1t when
first clapped eyes on 1t. 1t was a

could almost chase rabbits up here.
That was about eighteen years ago.
had hunch then-and was only
eighteen years old at that time-that
this land would some day jump in
value by leaps and bounds. When
was twenty years came into a
bunch of $4,000. went to my guar
dian. an old man, pretty prominent
in estate management and wisdom at
that time. and told him l wanted to
soak the whole $4,000 in this block
of ground pointed out to you. The

"Go away, boy he said to me. with
a patronizing smile. You don't know
what you want. It's my duty to save
you from such wild notions as this

be shooting rabbits and squirrels out
there on that plot SO years from now.
G'way.'

down on me. Then he went and in
vested my $4,000 at three per cent.
Three years ago the man who
bought that same block Of ground for
$4,000 sold it for about 100000 cash,
and he's now cruising over in the
Mediterranean or some place or
other, while I'm taking my wife out
for nickel car rides and wondering
where my SIS, 1000 went.

hospital and at the risk of death be cut.
Plain common sense shows the better way
is to stop food that evidently has not been
digested.
Then, when food is required, use an easily
digested food. Grape-Nuts or any other II
you know it to be predigested tpartly digested
before taking).
We brought to Court analytical chemists
from New York. Chicago and Mishawaka, Ind.
who swore to the analysis of Grape-Nuts and
that part Of the starchy part of the wheat and
barley had been transformed into sugar. the
kind of sugar produced in the human body by
disesting starch tthe large part of food.
Some of the State chemists brought on by
the weekly" said GrapeNuts could not be
called "predigested" food because not all Of
it digested outside the body
The other chemists said any food which had
been partly or half digested outside the body
was commonly known as 'predigested"
Splitting hairs about the meaning of a word.
1t is sufficient that If only one-half of the
food is ''predigested." it is easier on weakened
stomach and bowels than food in which no
part is predigested
To show the facts we introduce DR.. Thos.
Darlington, former chief of the N Y. Board
of Health, DR.. Ralph w. Webster, chief of the
Chicago Laboratories, and DR.. B. Sachs, N. Y.
If we were little severe In denuncia-
tion of writer, self-confessed ignorant about
appendicitis and it's cause, 1t is possible the
public will excuse u.s. in view of the fact that
our head, Mr.. C. w. Post. has made lifetime
study of food. food digestion and effects. and
the conclusions are indorsed by many OF the
best medical authorities of the day.
Is 1t possible that we are at fault for
suggesting. as Father and Mother might to
one OF the family who announced pain in the
side: stop using the food. greasy meats,
gravies. mince pie. cheese, too much starchy

A disagreement about advertising arose
with a weekly" Journal.
Following 1t, 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 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 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 comfort to
those who fear a surgeons knife they fear
death?
The weekly" writer said that 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
knowledge of appendicitis and never investi-
gated to find out il the testimonial letters to
Co. were genuine.

operation was required Grape-Nuts would not
obviate l.. True.
We never claimed that when operation
was required Grape-Nuts would prevent it.
The surgeon testified bacteria [germs1 help
ed to bring on an attack and bacteria was
grown by undigested food frequently.
We claimed and proved by other famous
experts that undgested food was largely
responsible for appendicitis.
We showed by expert testimony that many
cases are healed without knife, but by stop
ping the use of food which did not digest, and
when food was required again 1t was helpful
to use predigested food which did not over
tax the weakened organs of digestion.

DEADLY BLACK DAMP Is ENcoUN.
TERED IN IEYpEN
MINE.

Denver.-Despite the utmost exer-
tjon OF the helmet crew at the Leyden
mine only five bodies have been
recovered. Saturday the body OF
George Supanchis. a umberman, was
mistaken for that of Augustine. but
this error was rectified Sunday when
the latter was found.
Lying across the doorway with a
handkerchief across his face the
body of John Augustine was found at
1889 o'clock in the second southwest
entry about 1900 feet from the No. l
shaft of the Leyden mine.
The discovery was made by party
of four helmet men, headed by John
q. Davidson of the mine rescue car,
who entered the mine at 1880 a. m.
preparing to make dash of 1900 feet
from the first southwest entry, to
which point the ventilation had been
established by canvas brattices. The
body was left lying. it being decided
to lend every effort to find the five
who are still missing.
At 3:45 p. m. Sunday another he'll
met crew of five men under Thomas
Truesdale went into the mine for an
other dash. They returned to the
surface at 5:45 without finding any
thing.

the first southwest. where the Merrick
brothers are believed to be. all but
one of the rescuers' electric flash
lights gave out. Their safety lamps
had been suddenly extinguished half
an hour before by the deadly after
damp.
Failure to find the Merricks was
due to faulty electric ropes brought
out from Denver. Finally. but sadly
admitting that all of the entombed
men had perished, the night fore
man ordered that no more search

this effect is shown. In one the black
hill touched by a threatening purple
cloud, the gold and blue in the sky
where the clouds have cleared a lit
tie and the ocean with its warmth of

blended together in a soft haze that
blurs the entire painting into a won

out the softness Of the fog that touch

All of Wix's work is done in water

the islands and therefore of more
than passing interest to lovers of tro-
