S|MPuF|ED LOVEMAK|NG
Principles of Scientific Manage
ment for Dan Cupid.
CHURCHES ARE INTERESTED
MANY Ministers Believe Unhappy
Marriages Are Caused by
Inefficient Courting.

Cupid. apparently, has been weighed in
the balance and found wanting. lie is not
performing his duties properly. He is too
prone to link hearts together without first
finding out whether the hearts will stay
linked. He selects a pair Of lovers, and
then rushes them headlong 10 the altar
without ascertaining whether the two are
physically and mentally adapted TO each
other he seems TO have lost sight of the
fact that love can be reduced to a scientific
formula and by carefully following this
formula in the selection OF spouses happi-
ness will result and married life will be
overfowing with bliss unalloycd.
This IS the sort OF complaint that cou-
pic Of members of the ministry have been
making against the god Of love. The Rev
George L. Parker. Of Salem. Mass. says
that many matrimonial mistakes are due
20 the fact that the people of to-day do not
know how 10 make love. lie says that
in order TO solve the marriage and divorce
problem we should teach love in the pub
| lie schools. so that pupils would be well
trained 10 make scientific selections Of their
helpmates for life. The Rev. DIR. Charles
IA. Eaton, OF the Madison Avenue Baptist
Church. in this city. says that many un-
| happy marriages have their origin IN a
faulty courtship. Our large American cities,
! he holds, do not present 10 number OF
their citizens the proper conditions for love-
making. According TO his opinion. hotels
and hall bedrooms are no homes, and hence
gre wanting i'm the family spirit so essen
tial 10 the atmosphere in which courtship
thrives best. DR.. Eaton says that the
church is the place where we should teach
love. and that IL should be the trysting
place where the signing swain and the fair
maiden could meet and talk over tie
things so essential TO those who want TO
travel side by side on the long journey

! Preyarlcatlon No. 8. Post spends
nearly million year in advertising ana
relies on that to keep out Of the news,
papers the dangerous nature OF the fraud
he is pcrpetrating on the public"
The Postum Company does pay out up
wards of a million a year tor, trade an
nouncements. 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 public
whether or not we "bribeo them.
Il NAV 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 exnosng fraud.p
This is almost real humor.
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. Gov
ering Of wheat (bran) made part OF the
| beverage
They ignorantly fell into trap here,
not knowing enough Of food value to know
that Taka-D -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 selfappointed critics do make
some laughable blunders through ignor'
ance, but-be patient.
Item II is an illustration Of the sqqirm::
| 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, very ones he had read,
| leading tho reader to believe that they
were the only ones.)
"Did you consult the books from these
editionsY 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 90 the iury,-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.
gordng appendicitis and the analysis Of

The "Weekly" 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 l9O5
Distortion No. t2 reports Mr.. Post as

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 iaw-
yer, trying by all his art to ask double
barreled questions and bulldoze and con-
fuse a witness.
The "dodging' it seems consisted ~
replying, II don't know" =
Opposing COUNSEL holds book in his
hand while he queries
T want to know if there is single
thing in your whole book here that sug-
eests any particular kind Of food" Then
followed some discussion between attor-
neys.
When Mr.. Post was allowed to reply
he said, 81 don't know until | read the
book over to see."
This book, it turns out, was written by
Mr.. Post seventeen years ago and probs
ably has not been read carefully by him
in the last fifteen years. 1t would require
remarkable memory to instantly say

pages did or did not contain, without
reading it over,-but such conservative
and well balanced answers are construed
by sensation seekers to be "dodgng."
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 I
tho questions;- ~
(The lawyer reading from the bool.)
"The writer Of these pages desires to
say nothing Of himself other than as q
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.
