before Lne passage OF Lne 6uTe fOOu
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
Gals 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 eSaggeration 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.
claims are true.
Another statement objected to read as
follows:
f'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 500;
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
$50 calories The man would die be
fore the experiment had run sixty days.
Then, take Grape-Nuts with 395 and
milk with 0.7O,-the two combined equal

ries contained in butter. The man fed for
sixty days on this food would be well

Distortion No. I stated that we have
been accustomed to advertise Grape-Nu ts
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 its dismissal
will remove the cause of the trouble, and
we suggest the use of Postum for the
reason that it furnishes a hot palatable
morning beverage, and contains natural
elements from the grain which can be
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. 2 states that the passage
of the National Food & Drugs Act COM
PEELED US to drop from the packages some
assertions regarding the nutritive value
of Grape-Nuts.
We have never been compelled 30
make any change.
Since the beginning it has been univer-
sal rule to print clearly on every package
exactly what the contents are made of.

by the company in excess of it's present requirements, and according to his esti- mate the amount does not exceed $21000.
 For obvious reasons it is necessary in growing city to provide equipment of this character in anticipation of it's fu- ture needs to some extent, and I do not regard this amount as unreasonable.
 "I beg to submit herewith copies of the agreements with Norfolk, Va, and Sa- vannah, Ga, showing the rates agreed upon.
 These rates are practically the same as those asked for in Birmingham, ex cept that in Savannah they will auto matically increase as the exchange grows, until, when it reaches the same number of subscribers that Birmingham now has, 1t will be about the same as proposed rates in Birmingham. and will then increase as the exchange grows
 "I also submit herewith letter from the chief engineer which gives the de- tailed information regarding the excess equipment.
 Tn conclusion I wish to say that I was given free access to all of the books and records of the company, furnished with all of the assistance needed to facil- ltate the examination, and was treated with the utmost consideration and cour- tesy. Respectfully submitted,
 GEORGE T. ROSSER, P. A."

 |pany that rate increase was reasonable,
 |employed MT. Rosser to examine the
 books.
 His report says that the loss sustained |by the company on entire business for
 three years was 1851 with an average |per year of .617.
 The loss for exchange business only
 was 5.eS4 for three years, the average being 1895. On the entire business in 1910
 B gain of .245 resulted while on the ex- |ehange business the loss in 1910 was 1.045. The full report covers extensive exhibits.

new wlnze driven from the 2O0-foot level
at n point short distance south OF the

twenty feet,
The formation so far has been lime.
but the typical shale Is being broken into
with depth. The ore Is n galena, and
selected samples will go as high as 1900
ounces silver per ton The average run
will be around 800 per ton in silver and
lead. This ore, occurring In the great
mass of manganese, indicates that the
winze Is at or near the top of a good
ore body.
Everything indicates that the unfold
ing of the Demiiohn ore secrets Will bear
out the expert predictions made by sew

Interested are given to understand that
the Yuba dixie extends across the prop
erty. while at nearly right angles to this

A LONG SEARCH
Mason Valley Keeps Present
ing Owners With Unexpected
Ore Tonnages.
MANY SURPRISES
IN THE PROPERTY
Mine Now Opened Enough to
Give the Key to the
Ore System.

The following information In regard to
the Mason Valley Mines property OF Ne
vada was received from Thompson. Towle
& Co. Friday, in which condition is
disclosed which Salt Lake shareholders
believe justihes a far greater developed
ore tonnage at present than even the
latest reports have given the property
credit for:
Judging from the new ore bodies which
were opened UP in the mine during
1910 this property's area of mining ground
appears to have excellent posslollltlcS.
Owing to the complex occurrence Of the
ore bodies, considerable study has been
necessary to determine their trend ana
as TO just where development work should
be done TO encounter these shoots. AS
work proceeds. however, this Is becoming <
more and moro understood.
AS an example of the difficulty which
has been experienced in locating some OF
these ore bodies 1t may be stated that
oftentimes the workings have passed
within a few feet of important shoots
without the slightest indication Of ore
being near, One of these experiences
happened at the West End orc body,
where a drift passed within seven feet
OF the shoot and IL was not discovered
until six or eight months later.
The encountoring of the ore body on
the intermediate, below the fourth level,
and OF the more recent shoot opened
in the southeast portion Of the property
on the third level, are among other In
stances OF this kind. In the former case
drifting had passed by the shoot and il
was not until a complete turn was made
TO the eastward that the ore body was
picked up. While in the latter, notwith-
standing that development had been car
ried on in the vicinity. the main haul
age level passing within a short distance
of the shoot 1t was only when crosscut-
ting was undertaken to the eastward
that this important orc body was en-
countcrcd.
