ia due, time. We suggest the reader lock
for it.
Prevariestlop. No. 9. post spends
nearly million year in advertising and
relies on that to keep out Of the news,
tns ai he puSe .as 'u
wards of . million a year for trade an
noupcements. Newspaper men believe our
statements truthful or they would not
print them. Large numbers of newspa-
per men use our products.
They are capable Of telling the nuhlic
whether or net We s"bribe0 chem.
Il may have escaped notice that we
did not "bribe" that particular weekly.
No. 3, states that the amount of the
verdict will "be devoted by the weekly
to ewnos;nc f-crd.o
This is almost real humor.
We have two suits pend ing against the
weekly" total, $500, 10000.
We haven't devoted" the sum to any
particular purpose yet.
Item 10 is discovery that wheat
bran is a part of Postum.
But the criticism neglected to mention
that for years every Postum package an
nounced in plain type that the outer. coy
ering of wheat (bran), made part of the
beverage.
They ignorantly fell into trap here,
not knowing enough of food value to know
that Taxa Diastase" the article used by
physicians the world over for starch in
digestion" is made from wheat bran"
So we use that part Of the wheat berry
because it contains the element needed
to develop the valuable diastase in man.
ufacture. Good Postum is impossible
without this part.
These self.appointed critics do make
some laughable blunders through ignor-
ance, but-be patient.
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 or eight from memory,
and commsnted ON some clinical expe--
rience coverinG several years in annual
Journeys to Europe.
Nov notice the distortion. Copy from
the printed criticism.)
'He POST pointed out pile Of books
in possession Of his attorneys As the very
ones he had read"
(Notice,-"th very ones he had read"
leading the reader to believe that they
were the only ones.
ibid you consult the books from these
editions?" was asked.
From those and various editions" an
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 purposcly intro
duced the latest editions that could be
obtained of prominent authorities to prove
by them the truth Of his statements re-
garding appendicitis and the analysis of
brain, also the latest conclusions in re-
gard to the action of the digestive organs.
These works are:

Distortion No. I stated that We have
been accustomed to advertise Grape nuts
and Postum as 'cure-alls for everything. =
It has never been the policy of thi,
Company to advertise Grape-Nuts or Pos
\ tuln 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 palatab]c
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
I discontinued and Grape-Nuts taken in its
place.
Charge No. 2 state. that the passage
of the National Food h Drugs Act COM
PEELED us to drop from the packages some
assertions regarding the nutritive value
of Grape Nuts.
We have never been "compelled" to
make any change.
Since the beginning it has been univer-
eal rule to print clearly on every package
exactlv what the contents are made Of

We did not esteem the small amount
of salt and yeast as cf value enough to
speak of, but after the new Law came
in we became as technical a. the ON
Gals at Washington and added the words
"yeast" and "salt." althonrh 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 st,te chemists believed this q

Food Dept. at Washington could easily

disputed question, we concluded tnst
mate from our packages euch claims.
however certain we may be that the
claims are true.
Another statement objected to read As
follows:
"The srstem viii chscrb greater
amount 81 Todrishment 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 ceptigrade. On this basis 3
table of calories is prepared showing the
percentage Of different kinds Of food.
Butter shows $780, Grape-Nuts 3.06;
milk O7O. Remember the statement on
the package spoke of the .nou-ishment tn,
rystem would absorb, but did not speak Of
The caIories 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 20.
Az an illustration: Attempt to feed
man sixty days on butter alone, with its
SEQ cslories. The man would die be-
fore the experiment had run sixty days.
Then, take Grape-Nuts with 3.96 and
milk with O.70.--the two combined equal
lo1aIout one-ha the number Of ca!o-
ries contained in butter. The man fed for
SIXTY days on this food would be well

This book, it turns out, was written by

remarkable memory to instantly say

and well balanced answers are construed
by sensation seekers to be "dodging,"
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 I'M
reliable and worse.
The following is quoted from one Of
the questions:-

For moment the Court Room was in
absolute silence.
Mr. Post slowly leaned forward over
the rail, pointed his finger at the Atty's
face to emphasize his reply and with eyes
that caused those of the Attorney to drop

"a n interesting phase 0
~ the political situatio t

~ the political situatio +
is being discussed in
Washington, and there ar e
plenty of politicians who recog-
nize the possibility that if the
Senate defeats reciprocity, it
will be doing the best possible
thing to help t h e personal
standing Of President Taft.
The logic of this view point IS
that if the Senate, which is
none too strong in the eyes
of the Nation, turns down the
reciprocity agreement, that
President Taft can go out be-
fore the country, hammering
away at the issue before the
people, and preach the doc
trine of lower tariffs, thereby
making business extremely
bad for some of the senators
who are now doing their level
best to defeat reciprocity, both
by direction and indirection.
While there is determined op-
position among a good many
ofthefarmers of the country III
regard to Canadian reciproci-
ty, yet the eoncensus of opin-
ion is that the great majority
of the people are i'll favor Of
the treaty. The one shining
illustration Of splendid man
agement upon the part of
President Taft has been his
handling of this measure, and
it is believed that regardless
of what the Senate may do
that the Presidents political
fortunes will be m a d e
through it.

"The Spender Family"
Caught in the Act"
"The Beautiful Voice" 5iograph,
Tommy, the Canvasser,"
I'm the Knight Errant."
Selections by the Orchestra.
We do not think that it will be
amiss il we make the assertion that
never before in the history of The
City Blythe Sea has such an offering
been made for the small sum of &c and
Toe. In addition to enjoying the many
selections by the popular orchestra.
you viii also enjoy six pictures, two
OF which are Biograph. A word or
two about them.
"Mr. Peck Goes Calling"
1t was Mrs, Peck's birthday, and
loving hubby thinks how nice it would
be to surprise her with a diamond
ring. Alas, Mrs. Peck missinterprets
this remembrance. and poor Peck is
almost henpecked to death.
Caught in the Act"
1t is always amusing to see how
moving pictures are made, and .'iis
comedy is going to be greatly enjoyed
as Mr.. Bystander has many adven-
lures before he finally understands
that his supposed wonderful rescue
of the heroine from the villains, was
only moving picture plot that ne
has spoiled.
1.-The Beautiful Voice.
This is another big Biograph COM
edy. An eccentric Frenchman pass
ing along the avenue hears the sound
of beautiful voice, and forthwith
falls in love with it. This is too good
to miss. You must see it sure.
"The Knight Errant."
A picture that takes us back to the
days when 'Knighthood was in
flower"
"The spender Family.'
One of the best comedies of the
evening. Oh, the troubles of a mar
