that for years every Postum package an

not knowing enough of food value to know

So we use that part of the wheat berry

some laushable blunders through ignor-

Item II is an illustration of the squirm-
ing and twisting of the sensational writer
delivering distorted matter to his read
ers.
While on the witness stand Mr.. Post
testified to his studies in Anatomy, Physi-
ology, Dietetics and Psychological re-
lating to the preparation and digestion of
food. Asked to name authorities studied
he mentioned six OF eight from memory.
and commented on some clinical expe-
rience covering several years in annual
journeys to Europe.
Now notice the distortion. Copy from
the printed criticism.)

were the only ones.)

editions?" was asked.

swered Post.
The attorney picked up book after
book from the pile and showed the title |
pages to the jury,-all except two had
been published since 1905"
This is an example of distortion and
false coloring to produce an unfavorable
impression.
The facts are Mr.. Post purposely intro
diced the latest editions that could be /
obtained of prominent authorities to prove
by them the truth of his statements re-
yarding appendicitis and the analysis of
o-ain. also the latest conclusions in re-
.ard to the action OF the digestive organs.
These works are:

When Mr.. Post was allowed to reply,
he said. Il don't know until I read the
book over to see"
This book. it turns out. was written BY
Mr.. Post seventeen years ago and prob.
ably has not been read carefully BY him
in the last fifteen years. 1t would require
remarkable memory to instantly saw
''yes" or mo" as to what a book of l47
pages did or did not contain. without
reading it over.-but such conservative
and well balanced answers are construed
by sensation seekers to be lodging"
The attorney sought by every art to
impress the Jury with the fact that Mr..
Posts belief in the power of Mind in
relation to the body branded him as un-
reliable and worse.
The following is quotsd from ono Of
(The lawyer reading from tho book.)
'The writer of these pages desires "a

We say that in cases where coffee disa-

elements from the grain which can be
used by nature to assist in rebuilding

FACTS ABOUT THE MOON.

Though our nearest neighbor in
the sky, the moons distance from
US is an average Of $4,000 miles
Within a month 1t will be $4,000
miles nearer to US at one time than
another, which causes its apparent
size to vary. A day on the moon Is
thirty times as long as ours, being
fifteen days Of daylight and fifteen
days Of darkness.
There are but twelve Of them in a
year. The long days are very hot and
the long nights excessively cold. As
it has no atmosphere to protect 1t
from the suns rays, water would
boil in the sunlight II there were
any water there. At night the tenn
perature is several hundred degrees
below zero, the contrast between
day and night is all Of 500 degrees.
The mountains on the moon have
been measured with greater accuracy
than any on earth, and twenty-efght
OF them are higher than Mount Blanc
