The next day a man appeared from
the telephone Office.
Il have come to see what makes
your telephone bell ring most Of the
time" he remarked.
But none of the family could en-
tighten him. and he saw nothing about
it which was out of order.
The next day he came again, took
the telephone entirely to pieces, ex-
amined the full length of the wire.
Still, he could find nothing amiss, and
still at the central Office the little
fame kept burning in the niche dedi-
Gated to this particular family. This
indicated that their bell was ringing.

At last 1t occurred to the euthori-
ties to examine a little box, IF about
the size of an ordinary suit case,
which was nailed up against a large
tree close by the house.
In this box several telephone wires
conyerged. 1t was sort Of neigh
borhood switchboard.
What was the surprise of the tele-
phone men to find this box nearly
filled with nuts. They took out three
peach baskets full, each one holding
at least two quarts.
Rioting among the nuts were the
youthful members of promising
squirrel family-Christian Herald.

Biochemic System of Medicine. by
Carey.
The 'TWeekly" carefully eliminates from
| its printed account testimony regarding
| the years of research and study by Mr.
Post in fitting himself for his work, and
| would lead the reader of the distorted
article to believe that his education
| began since 1905.
Distortion No. u reports Mr.. Post as
| "dodging witness"
His eye is not of the shifty kind OBJ
served in the head of one of his chief
critics. On the witness stand Mr. Post
looks quietly but very steadily straight in.
to the eyes of the haggling twisting aw-
yer, trying by all his art to ask double
barreled questions and bull-doze and con-
fuse witness.
The "dodging" it seems consisted u
replying Il don't know"
Opposing counsel holds book in his
hand while he queries,-
T want to know if there is a single
thing in your whole book here that sug-
gests any particular kind of food" Then
followed some discussion between attor-
neys.
When Mr.. Post was allowed to reply.
he said Il don't know until l 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
a remarkable memory to instantly say

reading it over,-but such conservative
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 un-
reliable and worse.
The following is quoted from one 81
the questions:-
(The lawyer reading from the book.)
"The writer of these pages desires to
say nothing of himself other than as a
simple instrument through which the Di-
vine Principle chooses to manifest itself
by precept and example.
"Skill in mental practice Is gained IN
the same way as skill in any department.
OF science-by observation, study, expe-
rience and the ability to evolve correct
conclusions.
Tread carefully, thoughtfully no more
than twenty pages daily. Afterward seek
an easy position where you will not be
disturbed. Relax every muscle. Close
your. eyes, and go into the silence where
mind is plastic to the breathings of spirit
and where God talks to the Son. This
thoughts from Divine Universal Mind
come as winged angels and endow you
with healing power. If you go into the
silence humble and trusting, you will come
out, enriched and greatly strengthened in
body by contact even for a short time
with the Father of all life and all power,
You will feel refreshed in every way and
food taken will digest readily as the
stomach works smoothly when under the
influence of Higher Power"
IT ask you if you did not write that.
and if you did not believe it when you
wrote it."
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
he said. Yes. am proud to say did,

Wnelnef OF 1OI we DllDe lHeIn:
1t may have escaped notice that we
did not ''bribe" that particular weekly.
No. 9 states that the amount of the
verdict will "be devoted by the weekly
to evnoeinn fraud"
This is almost real humor.
We have two suits pending against the
weekly" total, S500O0
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 COW
ering of wheat (bran), made part of the
beverage.
They ignorantly fell into a trap here,
not knowing enough of food value to know
that Taka-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 commented on some clinical expe-
rience covering several years in annual
journeys to Europe.
Now 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. -"the very ones he had read"
leading the reader to believe that they
were the only ones.)
'Did 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 iury,-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
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.
