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 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 medical
knowledge of appendicitis and never invest-
gated to find out if the testimonial letters to
our Co. genuine.
A 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 Tgerms1 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 hNaled without knife, but by stop
ping the use of food which did not digest, and
when food was required again it helpful
to use predigested food which did not over
tax the weakened organs of digestion.

BUYING FAMILY MEAT
MARKET CONDITIONS SHOULD BIZ
CAREFULLY STUDIED.
No Matter What Cut Is Selected IL
Can Not Be Utilized to Best
Advantage Unless Ii Is
Well Cookies.

The choice of meat cuts should cor
respond to the needs of the family
and the preferences Of its members.
Careful consideration Of market condi-
lions is always useful not only to
make sure that the meat is handled
and marketed in a sanitary way but
also TO take advantage Of any favor
able change in price which may be
due, for instance, to large local sup
ply of some particular kind or cut of
meat. In towns where there is oppor-
tunity for choice, it may sometimes be
found more satisfactory not to give
all the family trade to one butcher;
by going to various markets before
buying the housekeeper is in better
position to hear Of variations in prices
and SO be in a position to get the best
values. Ordering by telephone or
from the butchers boy at the door
may be less economical than going to
market in person as the range of
choice and prices is of course more
obvious when the purchaser sees the
goods and has a chance to observe
market conditions. Each housekeeper
must decide for herself whether or not
the greater convenience compensates
for the smaller range of choice which
such ordering from description en-
tails. No matter what the cut, wheth-
er expensive or cheap, it can not be
utilized to the best advantage unless
it is well cooked Poorly prepared
meat dishes are almost inevitably
wasted at the table. AS an illustra-
ton of the losses arising through I'M
wise selection and poor cooking may
be mentioned facts observed in die
tary studies carried on by the expert
ment stations. In many families
where the income was fairly good the
table and other conditions were far
from satisfactory. In such cases the
marketing was quite commonly done
by child or someone without knowl-
edge or experience. In a particular
instance the selection was expensive
steak, which later was so badly cook
ed that it was hardly possible to eat
it. A cheaper cut we'll cooked would
have been much more satisfactory as
well as more economical.

Holidays i'm the States.

Washington's birthday is a holiday
in all states. Decoration day in all
states but Florida, Georgia, Louisiana.
Mississippi, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Tennessee and Texas. Labor
day is observed everywhere. Virtu-
ally every state has legal holidays
having to do with its own special af-
fairs-battle Of New Orleans in Louis
lana, Texan independence and battle
of San Jacinto in Texas, Admission
day in California, and so on. Missis-
sippi is like the federal government
in lack of statutory holidays, but by
common consent Independence day,
Thanksgiving and Christmas are OBJ
served. A new one is Columbus day
in few of the states.

English Women Smoke Pines

The latest fancy Of the woman
smoker is a pipe-not the tiny affair
that sufices for the Japanese, but a
good-sized brier or neat meer-
schaum. The pipe is boldly carried
along with a gold card case and chain
purse. For some time now the Gig
arctic has given place to a cigar,
small in size and mild in quality.
Women said they were tired of the
cigarette, and wanted bigger smoke.

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 If
you know it to be predigested (partly 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
digesting starch (the large part of food.
Some of the State chemists brought on by
the weekly" said Grape-Nuts could not be
called ''predigested" food because not all or
it was digested outside the body.
The other chemists said any food which had
been partly or half digested outside the body
was commonly known ''predigested.'
Splitting hairs about the meaning Of word.
1t is sufficient that if only one-haf OF the
food is 'predigested,' it is easier 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.
II we were a little severe in denuncia-
ton of a writer self-confessed ignorant about
appendicitis and it's cause, it is possible the
public will excuse us, in view of the fact that
our head Mr.. G. w. Post, has made lifetime
study of food, food digestion and effects, and
the conclusions are Endorsed by many of the
best medical authorities of the day.
Is it possible that we are at fault for
suggesting as a 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
