HOME PATRONAGE

Sears & Roebuck, Chicago, have
just declared a stock dividend of 80
per cent and distributed many
millions to their shareholders.
The concern is to add largely to its
present big capitalization to take
care of its business towns through
out the country.
Its manager stated at the recent
meeting that the great gain in the
amount of business done had been
brought about by liberal advertis-
ing.
Sure thing.
Sears & Roebuck understand
how to present their case to the
buyers. They know just what is
attractive to prospective customers.
They tell how many cans of this
thing, and pounds of the other
they deliver for S..
They make up catchy orders for
the eye of the public.
They send their catalogs every
where and fill the Sunday editions
of the newspapers with accounts of
their attractions.
They are alive and let the people
know they are on earth.
They go after business in the
modern way and they get it.
In the meantime many local mer-
chants are complaining of trade,
are chalking their sidewalks while
the goods in the end of the local
depots which are set apart for the
goods that come in from outside
grow bigger and bigger each sue
ceeding month.
The cash is being sent away.
The credit accounts stay at home.
The best trade is deserting the
place.
The poor has to remain.
The MINER is often asked to say
something about the evil of sending
money out of town.
To explain how the home mer-
chants pay the taxes; support the
schools and the churches and
have their hands continually in
their pockets to help some char
liable cause. And it is all true,
but we might as well try to stop
the tide fom coming in or the wind
from blowing as to check the send
ing away of money by this reason
ing.
The only way to keep the money
at home is for the local merchant
to do his own share by meeting the
outsider at his home game.
Advertise.
And advertise some more.
You say the editor would
naturally offer this remedy.
Of course.
1t is reasonable one.
1t is business. How are people
to learn of your bargains if you
do not advertise them, and how
can you advertise them so well as
to talk about them in the paper
that goes into the homes?
People aren't going about town
hunting up bill boards or store
fronts to get the news.
The merchants has got to get
into the game right.
If he doesn't when he has the
opportunity, then he doesn't
deserve to get the business. If he
permits others to beat him in enter
prise he must expect to lose to
them.

spasnl No. says: 1.-THE most dam
ened with appendicitis is to eat any food
whatever. Notwithstanding he knew that
danger, G. W. Post advertised Grape Nuts
at ffteen. cents package for those so
threatened"
This is intended to middle 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
food as related to the digestive organs,
and we proved in Court by the physicians
the predominating cause Of appendicitis
is undigested food, and that 1t is neces-
sary to quit eating food, and when the
body requires food again, use pre-di-
gested food, or at least one easy of diges-
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 latter
treatment" it is advantageous to take
on pre-digested food.
The price Of the package preferred to
by the weekly is not known by us to
have any relation to the question.

food in bowel troubles and to use Grape

er organs Of the body.
He attended clinics in Europe and
fitted himself for 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,A after
being under the care of several we'll,
known physicians, he was quickly healed,
by what to him was a curious and not
well-understood method. Sufficient to say
he became well man. weighing about lS5
pounds.
This experience challenged his invest;-

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
he is perpetrating on the public"
The Postum Company does pay out up
wards of million year for 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 .sbrlbe,' them.

We haven't devoted the sum to any
particular purpose yet.
Item 10 is a discovery" that wheat
bran is 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 Taxa 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

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 Psychology, 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 distortioa. Copy from
the printed criticism.)
"He (Post) pointed out pile Of books
in possession of his attorneys as the very
ones he had read

leading the reader to believe that they
were the only ones.)

editions?" was asked.
s 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,-a 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.

We did not esteem the small amount
of salt and yeast as Of value enough to
speak Of, but after the new Law came
cials 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-
A0h the brain and nerve centers is true
and bring authorities to support the fact.
Some state chemists believed this a
gross exaggeration and inasmuch as the
Food Dept. at Washington could easily

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 as
follows:

amount Of nourishment from one pound
of Grape-Nuts than from ten pounds of
meat. wheat. oats. or bread"

themselves as well as the public.
"Caloried' is the word which defines a
unit of heat determined by the amount
necessary to raise one kilogram of water
one degree centigrade. On this basis a
table of calories is prepared showing the
percentage Of different kinds Of food
Butter shows 500; Grape Nuts 500;
milk 0.70. Remember the statement on
the package spoke Of the punishment the
system would absorb, but did not speak Of
the calories Of heat contained in it, for
the heat is not nourishment, and the
nourishment cannot be judged by the
number of heat units, notwithstanding
the fact that certain chemists would have
the public believe so.

Imam sixty days on butter alone, with its

Then. take Grape,Nuts with 3.96 and

WOULD CENTRALlZE
EDUCATION DEPARTMENT
Combines Best Features of
General Educational Bills

Atlanta, July 29-The general edu-
cation bill, which the house is now
considering section by section, is the
most important educational reform I'M
dertaken in recent years in Georgia. Ii
its main provisions become law-and
it seems they will-this state will have
a splendid organization, centralized in
the state board of education, whereas
now she has practically no executive
state organization at all The state
board will have on it not only the
governor and school commissioner,
but professional educators Of proven
executive ability, and it's powers will
extend even to the right to select the
courses in all schools, city and county,
which receive support from the state.
The bill is one prepared, or rather
compiled by the house educational
committee, and combines what were
deemed the best features of the half
dozen educational measures presented
by various representatives
