At last 1t occurred to the authori-
ties to examine little box, of about
the size of an ordinary suit case,
which was nailed up against large
tree close by the house
In this box several telephone wires
converged. 1t was a 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

in due time. We suggest the reader look
for it..
Prevarication No. 8. "Post spends
nearly million year in advertising and
relies on that to keep out of the news
papers the dangerous nature of the fraud
ne is perpetrating on the public" 4.
The Postum Company does pay out, up
wards of million year for trade an
pouncements. Newspaper men believe our
statements truthful or they would not
print them. Large numbers of newspa-
per men use our pre- 1ucts.
They are capable of telling the public
whether or not we "bribe" them.
It 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 exnosing fraud"
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 a 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 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 tho witness stand Mr.. Post
testified to his studies in Anatomy, Physi-
ology, Dietetics and Psychology re.
lating to the preparation and digestion of
food. Asked to name authorities studied
he mentioned six or eight from memory,
and commSAted 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 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 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.
