HOLIDAYS In the States.

Washington's birthday 10 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 al
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.

HAD THEIR "ROASTING EARS
Good Proof That Aborigines Were
Eating Them When Capt. John
Smith Arrived.

We do not know what the Indians
called roasting ears. but there Is no
question that this was one OF the
principal articles Of diet of the abor
igines when Capt. John Smith and his
fellow colonists established themselves
in this virgin country. man who
was born in Maine and has lived all
about said that the term was first
used in New England, but we doubt
that, as the records would appear to
show that we were making laws In
Virginia before the Pilgrims landed
at Plymouth Rock or thereabout, one
writer saying that the first leg1sla'
tive assembly that ever convened In
the country was held in Virginia "sev'
enteen months before the eternally
lauded Pilgrims ever landed upon
Plymouth Rock and ten years before
the colony of Salem and Boston In
creased their meager numbers be-
yond the hundred"
In Bruces Economic History OF
Virginia in the Seventeenth Century,"
page 173, volume /, we are told: THE
custom which the Indians followed In
eating their meals was simple. A
mat was spread on the ground and on
this the dish was placed, the broiled
fish and roasting ears being laid near
at hand" Again, in the same book.
page IT'S, there is this note: I'm June.
July and August they fed on fish, the
roots of the tuckahoe, berries and
roasting ears"
The chances are therefore that
corn, which was so important an arti.
Gle of their diet, was called roast
ing ears" or the equivalent In the
Indian tongue, as 1t is reasonable to
assume that they did not eat It raw
or uncooked. We are Of the opinion
that roasting ears" is "a good Vir.
ginia expression" inasmuch as in Vir
ginia the white man first used corn
on the table or mat after the manner
of the Indians, and as 1t was roasted
before 1t was eaten the presumption
is that It was called roasting ears. y
The term appears to have been used
in Virginia since the seventeenth cen
fury and doubtless before there wore
any Dutch in Pennsylvania.

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 predgested (partly d1gested
before taking)
We brought to Court analytical chemists
from New York, Chicago and Mishawaka, Ind,
who swore to the analysis of Grape-Nuts ana
that part Of the starchy part OF the wheat ana
barley had been transformed into sugar the
kind of sugar produced in the human body by
digesting starch (the large part OF tood).
Some of the State chemists brought on by
the weekly" said GrapeNuts could not be
called "predigested" food because not all OF
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 as "predigested.'
Splitting hairs about the meaning OF a word.
It 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.

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 a surgeons knife as they fear
death?
The weekly" writer said that was lie.
We replied that he was ignorant of the facts.

admit he was not DR.. and had no medlcal
knowledge of appendicitis and never 1nvest1-
gated to find out If the testimonial letters to

We never claimed that when an operation

The surgeon testified bacteria [germs] help

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

when food was required again 1t was helpful
to use predigested food which did not over
tax the weakened organs OF digestion.
