Plain common sense shows the better way
is to stop food that evidently has not been

Then, when food is required use an easily

you know it to be predigested (partly digested
before tahng).
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 GrapeNuts could not be
called a "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 "predigested."
Splitting hairs about the meaning Of a 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.
To show the facts we introduce Dr. ThOs
Darlington, former chief Of the NJ Y Board
of Health, Dr. Ralph w. Webster, chief Of the
Chicago Laboratories, and DR.. B. Sachs, N. Y.
If we were a little severe in our denuncia-
tion of writer, self-confessed ignorant about
appendicitis and it's cause, 1t 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 indorsed by many Of the
best medical authorities Of the day.

Two Very Old LadIss.

We have heard a great deal lately
about longlived people, but It is prob
able that the Oldest two people in the
world today are Frau Dutkievitz and
another old lady named Babavaslika.
The former lives at Posem, in Prus-
sian Poland, and was born on Febru-
airy 21, 1885. She is therefore one
hundred and twenty-five years old
The latter, however, is nine months
her senior, having been born In May,
1884.
She is still a fairly hale old woman,
and for nearly one hundred years
worked in the fields. Her descendants
number close on 100, and these now
make her a joint allowance. She lives
at the village of Bavelsko, whose
neighborhood she has never quilted
during the whole of her long life. She
remembers events which happened at
the beginning of last century much
more clearly than those Of the last
40 years.-Dundee Advertiser.

A disagreement about advertising arose

Following it, an attack on us appeared In
their editorial columns; sneering at the claims

We replied through the regular papers and

continuing indigestible food, washing out the
bowels and taking p2edigested food Grape

Wouldn't that knowledge be a comfort to
those who fear a surgeons knife as they fear
death?

We replied that he vas ignorant Of the facts.
He was put on the stand and compelled to
admit he was not DR.. and had no medical

was required Grape-Nuts would prevent it.
The surgeon testified bacteria [germs1 help

responsible for appendicitis.

TAFT WILL OPEN 1T.
President to Sound Keynote of Cam

Washington, April 4.-The Taft adj
ministration is about to defend itself
aggressively before the people of the
United States.
Convinced that the public mind has
been impressed by attacks upon the
administration in many parts of the
country and that the criticisms cannot
be permitted to pass unanswered with
out injury to Republican prestige, the
party leaders have decided to carry
the war into the enemy's country"
President Taft is now declared to be
ready and anxious to assume the Of
fensive.
The opening guns will be fired next
Saturday in Washington by the presi-
dent in person and in Chicago by At
torney General Wickersham.
Mr.. Taft will speak in this city on
the subject of organization and he will
be supported by other powerful orators
of the Republican party. Attorney
General Wickersham's subject will be
the policies of the administration.
other speakers on the platform with
Mr.. Taft will be Senator Lodge, Repre-
sentative Mckinley of Illinois, chair
man of the Republican congressional
committee Representative Duncan Nc
FHinlay of California and John Hays
Hammond.
Nothing has created so much interest
among the Republican leaders IN
Washington since the Inauguration of
Mr. Taft as the plans now being
formulated to defend the administra-
ton. Some facts are to be brought
out about the operation of the Payne
Aldrich tariff bill and the enemies of
that legislation will be called upon to
answer the friends of the administra-
ton with some concrete evidence If
this subject is to continue as an issue

Avoid Harsh Drugs
Many Cathartics Tend to Cause
Injury to the Bowels.

If you are subject to constipation
you should avoid strong drugs and
cathartics. They only give temporary
relief and their reaction is harmful and
sometimes more annoying than consti-
patton. They in no way effect a cure
and their tendency is to weaken the
already weak organs with which they
come in contact.
We honestly believe that we have the
best constipation treatment ever de-
vised. Our faith in it is so strong that
we sell it the positive guarantee
that it shall not cost the user a. cent if
it does not give entire satisfaction and
completely remedy constipation. This
preparation is called RexaIl Orderlies.
These are prompt, soothing and most
effective in action They are made of
a recent chemical discovery. Their
principal ingredient is odorless, taste
less and colorless. Combined with 9TH
er well known ingredients, long estab-
lished for their usefulness in the treat
ment of constipation, it forms a tablet
which is eaten just like candy. They
may be taken at any time, either day
or night, without fear of their causing
any inconvenience whatever. They do
not grippe, purge nor cause nausea.
They act without causing any pain or
excessive loseneSs of the bowels. They
are ideal for children, weak, delicate
persons and aged people as well as for
the most hearty person.
They come in two size packages, II
tablets 10 cents, SO tablets Is cents. Re

anti-injunction anG conservation legis-
lation to its credit. In addition, it is
hoped that statement may be issued
showing that a very great saving has
been made in governmental expendi-
lures.
Little is being said by the party lead
ers about the issue of "Cannonism"
beyond the statement that this Ques-
ton will take care of itself at the
right time. The only explanation
vouchsafed for this comment is that
Speaker Cannon is expected to resign
the speakership at the close of the
present session of congress.
Should the speaker resign at the
close of the present session at a time
when there would be no opportunity
to choose his successor before next
winter, IT is argued that several mem
bers of the present house would an
nounce themselves as candidates. No
official statement on this subject is ex-
pected from the speaker. His friends
believe that it would be inadvisable for
him to weaken the organization of the
house at this time by disclosing his in
tentions. They argued that in view of
the recent battle in the house all the
force that was retained by the Repub-
lican majority is needed if the admin
istration legislative protective program
is to succeed.
