The next day man appeared from
the telephone Office.
81 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
flame kept burning in the niche dedi-'
Gated to this particular family. This
indicated that their bell was ringing.

At last It occurred to the authori-
ties tot examine a little box, of about
the size Of an ordinary suit case,
which was nailed up against a large
tree close by the house.
III this box several telephone wires
.cohyerged. It was a sort Of neigh
borhood switchboard.
What was the surprise of the tele-
phone men to find this box nearly
filed 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 a. promising
squirrel family-Ch Christian Herald.

officials are honest, and on the other
hand we are firmly convinced that some
of their conclusions cannot be substan-
tiated by facts in scientific research.
They never criticize the purity of our
foods, for SO much We are thankful.
If our. conclusions in regard to its be
ing q brain food differ from theirs, and
we are both honest, they have rather the
advantage, because under che law they
can order us to eliminate from the pack
age any statement if it disagrees! with
their opinion. Otherwise they would
harass grocers.
spasm No. 6 says: "The most dan
gerous thing in the world for one threat
ened with appendicitis is to eat any food
whatever. Notwithstanding he knew that
at fifteen cents a package for those so
threatened"
This is intended to muddle the reader
into believing that we put out Grape-Nuts
as cure for appendicitis.
Mr.. Post, himself, has had probably as
wide experience as any other man in
America in the study and observation of
and we proved in Court by the physicians
and surgeons on the witness stand that
the predominating cause Of appendicitis
is undigested food, and that It is neces-
sary to quit eating food, and when the
body requires food again. use a pre-di-
gested food, OF at least one easy of dises-
ton.
DR.. Ochsner in his work on appendicitis
refers directly to the use. of the we'll
known pre-digested foods that can be
obtained on the market He also brought
out the interesting fact that in "after

careful and systematic study of the eff
feet of the mind on the digestive and 9th
er organs Of the body.
He attended clinics in /: Europe and
fitted himself for. a future career in which
he has become known as one of the food
experts of the world, fitted to Judge both
from the material as well as the mental
side of the question.
For about eight years previous to 1891
he was an invalid. In that year, after
being under the care of several we'll
known physicians, he was quickly healed,
by what to him was curious and not
well-understood method Sufficient to say
he became well man. weighing about ls5
pounds.
This experience challenged his invest.
CATION into causes of disease and their
amelioration. Those studies and expert
ences developed very profound reyer-
ence for Supreme Power which directly
operates upon the human being, and this
reverence for the Infinite became to him
form of religion which included honesty
of purpose towards his fellow-man. A
statement which will be indorsed by every
one who knows him closely.
He will make a public announcement
in detail of these facts, and the Postum
Company will cause that statement to be
published in newspapers and magazines
