Not Altoaether Dead.

Mr. Robert Butler of Marlborough,
England, has had the peculiar expe-
rience of hearing his death announc-
ed. He was attending the poor law
conference at Exeter when one Of
the delegates moved that, in conse-
quence of the death of Mr.. Butler,
which they all regretted, another gen.
tleman, whom he named, should be
appointed to fill his place as one Of
the representatives of Wiltshire on
the central committee. Mr.. Butler
rose from his place on the platform
and announced to the conference.
amid much amusement, that, so far
as he was aware, he was still alive
and in good health, and would be
pleased to continue in the Office If the
conference desired.

Too Ardent a Lover.

Georgotto Fontano, an embroiderer

to her a harmless act
She was going homo from a concert

she would like to see her f1ance. As

occurred to her It would be very easy
to summon him to her side by break

what had happened she was taken to

the course of true love run unsmoothly
by sending her to prison for a month
in spite of her tears and protests that
she thought 1t would be simple way
of bringing her fiance to her side.

disagreement about advertising arose
with weekly" Journal
Following 1t, an attack 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 indgestible 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.
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 if the testimonial letters to
our Co. were genuine.
A famous surgeon testified that when an
operation was required Grape-Nuts would not
obviate it. True.
We never claimed that when an operation
was required Grape-Nuts would prevent 1t.
The surgeon testified bacteria rgerms1 help
ed to bring on an attack and bacteria
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 a knife, but by stop
ping the use of food which did not digest. and
when food was required again 1t was helpful
to use predgested food which did not over
tax the weakened organs OF digestion.

is to stop food that evidently has not been

Then, when food is required, use an easily

We brought to Court analytical chemists

barley had been transformed into sugar, the
kind of sugar produced in the human body by

Some of the State chemists brought on by
the weekly" said Grape-Nuts 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 O woEd-
It 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.

sTOvALL, NEW CAPTAIN OF THE MAPS

Baseball fans will watch the
work of Geo. Stovall, first sacker
Of the Maps, with considerable In
terest from now on. for Brother
George has been appointed captain
Of the Clevelan aggregation. Jim
Mcclure, veteran manager of the
team. says Stovall is one of the
brainiest men playing the game.
1t was something of surprise
when MCGUIRE made the appoint
ment. as this spring he had Stovall
on the bnch, Lajoie playing first
and Terry Turner on second. Nc
Guire, however found that Stovall
was needed in the game because
Of his general all around ability
and he shifted his infield to get
George back.
In the old days 1t was generally
believed that all a first baseman
had to do was to catch balls thrown
to him by other fielders. Fred
Tenny, Arson, Hal Chase. Harry
Davis. Frank Chance and others
changed this style of play, and now
managers agree that first base
man is really the proper man to
direct the defensive work of ball
team. Harry Davis with the Ath-
letics. Chance with the Cubs and
Hal Chase with the Yankees have
shown just what first sacker can
do when bossing ball team. Tenny
captained the Giants, Arson put
