Two Very Old Ladies',


We have heard a great deal lately
about long-lived people, but 1t is prob
able that the oldest two people In the
world today are Frau Dutkievitz and
another old lady named B~abavaslika.
The former lives at Posem, In Prus-
sian Poland, and was born on Febru-
airy Fl, 1885. She is therefore one
hundred and twenty-five years old.
The latter, however. Ia nine months
her senior, having been born In May,
1884.
She IL still q fairly hale old woman.
and for nearly one hundred years
worked in the fslds. Her descendants
number close on 100, and these now
make her q toint 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.

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 IL
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
kline 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 a "predigcsted" food because not all of
1t 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.
II is sufficient that IL 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 DIR. Thos.

Chicago Laboratories, and Or. B. Sachs, ~. Y.

BROOKLYN TRAVELLER WRITES or

imposed exile of one year. DR.. Cook
probably will arrive from Europe ON
Wednesday.
The doctor has confessed he did not
know whether he reached the north
pole or not. and In a magazine he
tells of the mental and physical stress
he labored under on his journey north
ward.
Or. Cook. speaking Of the trip over
the zee. says:
There was little in the white waste
about me to occupy my attention.
Sometimes a spot on the horizon or
the twist of a dogs tail would fascin-
ate me and hold my attention for
many minutes. During this time from
the early days of our journey, as I
want to show, everything centered
about the pole.
Then to bewilder one, to set one
laughing with silly amusement or to
find n with a sense of awe, there
early began a procession of mirages
and optical illusions. The mental eff
feet | find it difficult to analyze. Some
times these exaggerated TRANSFORMED
tons had the effect of bringing far of
objects apparently near TO us. This
often caused confusion in estimating
distances.

right here say that any observations

own satisfaction, to check our line of
march. The constant travelling over
miles of ice and the enduring of pain

That Suit for Libel
Against the Postum Cereal Co. Ltd, Gave a Splendid Chance
to Bring Out Facts

A disagreement about advertising arose
with a weekly" Journal.
Following II, 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-
dtcitis 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 q comfort to
those who fear q surgeons knife as they fear
deathf
The weekly" writer said that was a lie.
We replied that he was ignorant OF the facts.
He was put on the stand and compelled to
admit he was not a DR.. and had no medical
knowledge of appendicitis and never investi-
gated to find out IL the testimonial letters to
our Co. were genuine.
A famous surgeon testified that when an
operation was required Grape-Nuts would not
obviate 1t. True.
We never claimed that when an operation
was required Grape-Nuts would prevent 1t.
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 ere healed without q knife. but by stop

when food was required again it was helpful
to use q predisested food which did not over
