Gentlemen:-I wrote you some time
ago giving you an account of my suf-
ferings with an awful case of Catarrh.
I had all the symptoms that accom-
pany this disease, such as mucus drop
ping back into the throat, a constant
desire to hawk and spit feeling of
dryness in the throat, cough and spit
ting upon rising in the morning, scabs
forming in the nose, which required
much effort to blow out, sometimes
causing the nose to bleed and leaving
me with sick headache. I had thus
suffered for Eve years. As soon as I
heard from you I commenced to take
S. S. S. as you advised, and after had
taken several bottles, noticed a
change for the better. Thus encour-
aged, I continued to take it, and in a
short while was entirely cured

Other ordinary symptoms

These symptoms too point di-

caused by congestion of the cir

Burlington, Ia, Jan. 16.-For al

was cut off from the world by the
worst sleet storm since 1892. Miles
OF telegraph wires were down, tele-
phones out Of commission, electric
light service stalled and almost every
means OF communication with outside

Fruit trees alover southern Iowa

MAKING A SENATOR.
Deadlock in Legislature Practi-
caIly Certain on First Day
BUT A BREAK Is PROBABLE
Young Expected to Have Largest
Number Of Votes Among RepubIi-

make its first attempt to choose a
senator to succeed Jonathan p. Dol.
liver.
At the opening, the field OF can
didates remains undiminished in num-
Der. but Judge w. S. Kenyon OF Fl.
Dodge, A. b. Funk of Spirit Lake,
and LATE Young of Des Moines seem
the most prominent.
On the first ballot 1t Is probable
that Senator Young will poll practi.
cally the full standpat vote, estimat.
ed to be between 35 and 40. Judge
Kenyon and Senator Funk probably
will have between 20 and rs votes
each on the Tuesday ballot. The re-
mainder of the republican votes will
be scattered among Warren Garst
H. w. Byers and others. The 80 dem.
ocrats expect to cast their full vote
at the beginning at least, for Claude
r. Porter.
But 1t win take 80 votes to elect
senator, II the full membership OF the
house and senate is present when
the senatorial ballot is taken, and,
therefore, 1t Is believed that there
will be no selection of United
States senator on the 17th,or for many
days after unless there is an unex.
pected fracture of what promises to
be an extended deadlock during the
progress of which the members may
be confronted seriously with prop
osition to hold special primary eIec.
tion to allow the republican voters
to choose their senator.
The progressives claim GO Of the
104 republican members of the legis-
lature: the standpatters claim about
as votes for Senator Young. To break
the deadlock, therefore, either Sena
tor Young's supporters must aban.
don him in a hopeless fight so far
as a legislative election Is concerned,
or progressive members of the as.
sembly must vote for Young for sen.
ator.
Absence of bitterness has marked
the contest so far, despite the com.
bination credited to coterie of Des
Moines politicians to control the sem
atorship. There seems to be a saw.
Ing grace in the realization that, at.
ter all. the real fight for the Dolliver
succession must be made before the

cerned in its usual locale; in diluted
form It has been transferred chiefly
from the line between the republican
q. factions TO the lines which divide the
progressive aspirants for the office.
Possibly. too, this is responsible, in
turn, for the mildness of the on.

combatants.

In due time. We suggest the reader look
for it.
Preyarlcatlo No. 8. Post spends
nearly a million year in advertising and
relies on that to keep out Of the news:
papers the dangerous nature Of the fraud
he is perpetrating on the public"
The Postum Company does pay out up
wards of a million 4 year for trade an
nouncements. Newspaper men believe our
statements truthful or they would not
print .Asm. Large numbers OF newspa-
per men use our products.
They are capable Of telling the public
whether or not we "bribeo them.
II 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 ewnosing fraud"
This is almost real humer.
We have two suits pending against the
weekly" total. $500. 100000.
We haven't devoted" the sum to any
particular purpose yet.
Item 10 is discovery" that wheat
bran is q 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 trap here.
not knowing enough of food value to know
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 a. the very
ones he had read"
(Notice.--"the 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 1906"
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-
gardinS appendicitis and the analysis Of
brain, also the latest conclusions in re-
gard to the action Of the digestive organs.

1000 was made OF wheat ana DerleY.
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
Gals at Washington and added the words
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 q
gross exaggeration and inasmuch as the
Food Dept. at Washington could easily
harass grocers, pending 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 a.
follows:
'The svsten will absorb greater
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 q
unit Of heat determined by the amount
necessary to raise one kilogram of water
one degree centigrade. On this basis .
table Of calories is prepared showing the
percentage Of different kinds Of food.
Butter shows $50; Grape-Nuts 395;
milk 0.70. Remember the statemer. on
the package spoke of the nourishment th,
system would absorb, but did not speak OF
The calories Of heat contained in 1t, for
the heat is not nourishment, and the
nourishment cannot be judged by the
nuyber Of heat units, Notwithstanding
the fact that certain chemists would have
the public believe so.
As an illustration: Attempt to feed .
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 800 and
milk with 0.70.-the two combined equal
t66-aDout one-half the number Of calo-
RES contained in butter. The man fed for
sixty days on this food would be well

Distortion No. 1 stated that we have
been accustomed to advertise Grape uts
and Postum as "cure-alls for everything.
II has never been the policy of this
Company to advertise Grape-Nuts or Pos
tuIn 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 q 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.
