Before the passage of the Pure Food
Law the packages stated that Grape-Nuts
food was made of wheat and barley.
We did not esteem the small amount
of salt and yeast as of value enough to
speak of, but after the new Law came
in we became as technical as the off
cials at Washington and added the words
"yeast" and salt" although we have
no recollection of being asked to.
We believed that our statement that
Grape-Nuts will supply elements to nour-
ish the brain and nerve centers is true
and bring authorities to support the fact.
Some state chemists believed this a
gross exaggeration and inasmuch as the
Food Dept. at Washington could easily
harass grocers, pending a trial on the
disputed question, we concluded that
much the better way would be to elm
mate from our packages such claims,
however certain we may be that the
claims are true.
Another statement objected to read as
follows:
"The system will absorb a greater
amount of nourishment from one pound
of Grape-Nuts than from ten pounds of
meat, wheat, oats, or bread"
Some Department chemists deceive
themselves as well as the public.
"Caloried" is the word which defines a
unit of heat determined by the amount
necessary to raise one kilogram of water
one degree centigrade. On this basis a
table of calories is prepared showing the
percentage Of different kinds of food.
Butter shows $50; Grape Nuts 396;
milk 90. Remember the statement on
the package spoke of the nourishment the
system would absorb, but did not speak Of
the calories Of heat contained in it, for
the heat is not nourishment, and the
nourishment cannot be judged by the
number of heat units, notwithstanding
the fact that certain chemists would have
the public believe so.
As an illustration: Attempt to feed a
man sixty days on butter alone, with its
800 calories. The man would die be-
fore the experiment had run sixty days.
Then, take Grape-Nuts with 800 and
milk with 070,-the two combined equal
466-anout one-half the number of calo-
ries contained in butter. The man fed for
sixty days on this food would be well
pourished, and could live not only sixty

Distortion No. 1 stated that we have
been accustomed to advertise Grape Nuts
and Postum as "cure-alls for everything.
It has never been the policy of this
Company to advertise Grape-Nuts or Pos
tum to cure anything.
We say that in cases where coffee disa-
grees and is causing sickness it's dismissal
will remove the cause of the trouble, and
we suggest, the use of Postum for the
reason that it furnishes hot palatable
morning beverage, and contains natural
elements from the grain which can sbe
used by nature to assist in rebuilding
nerve centers that coffee may have broken
down.
Likewise Grape-Nuts food does not
cure anything, but it does assist nature
tremendously in rebuilding, provided the
undigestible food that has been used is
discontinued and Grape-Nuts taken in its
place.
Charge No. states that the passage
of the National Food & Drugs Act COM

make any change.

TAMPA OFFICER GUILTY OF AS
SAULT AND BATTERY

Tampa's chief of police, T. S. Wood
ward, was tried in the criminal court
Friday on the charge of aggravated
assault on the person of Frank Sulli-
van, formerly editor of the Florida
Beacon, the local socialist organ. The
chief entered a plea of not guilty. The
state offered several witnesses. The
defense did not offer any evidence,
but sought to quash the proceedings
on technicality, which was over
rued.
The jury brought in verdict of as
sault and battery.
Some time ago the Beacon publish
ed an article rejecting upon Chief
Woodward's character. A few days
later the chief met Editor Sullivan on
the street and struck him several
times over the head. The editor
claimed he used weapon of some
sort, which claim was substantiated
by witnesses.

JOHN r. WALSH DIES SUDDENLY

Chicago, ILL.,, Oct. 23.-John h.
Walsh, former banker, publisher and
railroad owner, and released but a
week ago from the federal prison in
Leavenworth, Kan, died suddenly at
his home here this morning of heart
disease.
Walsh had been i'll in prison for
some time before his parole.
John R. Walsh, who was sixty-five
years of age. had an interesting and
checkered career. He was a self
made man. At one time he was re-
puted to be worth millions. Three
years ago he got mixed up in railway
deals in the west that Slapped his re-
sources, and he was convicted of over
drawing his personal accounts in sew
eral banks in which he had controll-
ing interest, and causing failure of
one of them, the Chicago National He
was sentenced to a long term in the
penitentiary. Some months ago Pres
ident Taft refused to pardon him
from prison, and scathingly arraigned
Walsh and Charles w. Morse, pardon
for whom was also sought at the same
time, as men who had violated every
business trust and were a menance to
the country. Walsh's parole came
automatically, he having served a suf-
ficient portion of his term to allow
the parole to take effect.

GLiDDEN TOUR

Winston-Salem, n. c., Oct. 10, 1911.
To the Ocala Banner:
Our angel of good luck has deserted
us but once. This was just after
crossing a swollen stream between
Natural Bridge and Roanoke. The
mechanism of the car went stone
dead on us, and we had to stay on
the wayside for an hour or more in
the darkness and rain. Finally, l was
put on passing car and sent on to
Roanoke to send a car out to bring
in the balance of the party. But in
twenty minutes after l left, the car
renewed its life, and has been behav-
ing beautifully ever since.
The car in which I was a passen-
ger was topless, and 1 sat down in a
puddle of water on the seat, and be-
fore reaching Roanoke was pretty
thoroughly drenched. borrowed

friend, Capt. w. J. Hillman, of Live

from one another, and l have not had
the pleasure of sleeping with my bag
gage in three nights. Fortunately
the roads have not been dusty, or 9th
erwise I would not be looking the
most circumspect of the party.
The trip from Natural Bridge to
Roanoke was the most perilous of the
route. Going up and down mountain
sleeps in a binding rain at a given
speed of twenty miles an hour is dan
gerous in the extreme, and is an adj
venture that one does not want to
experience the second time. Many
cars were ditched, and only a few
made a perfect score, and those only
because they were first checked out,
and did not encounter the heavy
downpour of rain.
We have traversed the prettiest
country 1 have ever beheld, and ev-
erywhere we have been warmly well
coined. Seeing the clouds banked on
the distant mountains, gilded with
the rays of an early morning sun is
prettier than any picture ever trans
ferred to canvas.
Wintson-Salem gave us a brilliant
reception. Every member of the par
ty was decorated with beautiful flow
ers.
Governor Smith alone of the party
made an address.
This morning we are to be shown
