A disagreement about advertising arose
with weekly" Journal.
Following II, 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 predgested 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 a 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 no medical
knowledge OF appendicitis and never investi-
gated to find out II the testimonial letters to
our Co were genuine.
famous surgeon testified that when an
operation was required Grape-Nurs would not
obviate 1t. True.
We never claimed that when an operation
was required Grape-Nuts would prevent it.
The surgeon testified bacteria rgerms1 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 healed without knife, but by stop

when food was required again II was helpful

An Alaskan Luncheon.

Runners of woven Indian basketry,
with white drawnwork doilies at each
of the IL covers, were used on an oval
mahogany table. The doilies were
made at Sitka. In the middle of the
table mirror held tall central vase
of frosted glass, surrounded by four
smaller vases, all filled with white
spring blossoms. The edge OF the
mirror was banked with the same
flowers. Four totem poles were placed
on doilies in the angles made by the
runners.
Place cards were water colors Of
Alaskan scenery. Aealone shells held
sailed nuts, and tiny Indian baskets
held bonbons. The soup spoons were
of horn, several of the dishes used
were made by Alaskan Indians, and
tie cakes were served on baskets.
The menu was as follows: Poisson
a la Bering Sea (halibut chowder).
Yukon climbers (broiled salmon, po-
tatoes Julienne), snowbirds avec
auroraborealis (roast duck with jelly,

Bankers and Bank Notes.


Four men. three Of whom were con-

Wall street district, were discussing
United States paper currency and the
disappearance of counterfeits. 1--WE

the party, ''as to the genuineness Of
bills that little attention is paid to
them In handling. except as to de-
nomination" To prove his assertion
he took $40 yellowback from his
pocket, and. holding It up, asked who
could tell whose portrait 1t bore. No
one knew, and by way of coaching
the broker said II was the first treas
urer of the United States. Again no

Two Very Old Ladies,

We have heard a great deal lately
about long-lived 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 81, 1855. 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 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 joint allowance. She lives
at the village of Pavelsko, 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.
