DR.. Hiram G. Cortlandt, the we'll

in a recent address:
Thomas A. Edison tells us that he
thinks the soul Is not immortal; but
after all, what does this great wizard

Too Ardent a Lover.

Georgotto Fontano, an embroiderer
who lives in the Rue Sevres in Paris,
has found herself condemned to a
months Imprisonment for what seems
to her harmless act.
She was going home from a concert
few evenings ago when she decided
she would like to see her fiance. AS
he happens to be a fireman whose
station Is in her own neighborhood it
occurred to her 1t would be very easy
to summon him to her side by break
ing the glass of the fire alarm and
sounding call.
She did so anr In few moments
fire engines came from several direc-
tons, all laden with tiremen, of course.
but alas! her fiance was not among
them, and more than that all the fire
men were angry, and before she knew
what had happened she was taken to
a magistrate, who proceeded to make
the course Of true love run unsmoothly
by sending her to prison for month
in spite of her tears and protests that
she thought it would be a simple way
of bringing her tiance to her side.

the naughty little miss,

There was the unmistakabie note of

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. GrapeNuts or any other If

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 (the large part of food).
Some of the State chemists brought on by
the weekly said Grape-Nuts could not be
called q "predigested" food because not all Of
it was dgested outside the body.
The other chemists said any food which had
been partly or half digested outside the body
was commonly known as "predgested."
Splitting hairs about the meaning of word
1t is sufficient that If only one-half of the
food is "predigested," 1t is easier on weakened
stomach and bowels than food in which no
part is predigested

That Suit for Libel

A disagreement about advertising arose
with a 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 indigestibe food, washing out the
bowels and taking a predigested food Grape

those who fear surgeons knife as they fear
death?

cases are healed without a knife, but by stop
