that certain chemists would have the
public believe so.
AS an illustration: Attempt to feed
a man sixty days on butter alone, with
its $50 calories The man would die
before the experiment had run sixty
days.
Then, take Grape-Nuts with 3.96 and
milk with 0.70.-the two combined
equal, 4.66-about one-half the num-
Der of calories contained In butter.
The man fed for sixty days on this
food would be we'll nourished. and
could live not only sixty days, but six
months on that food alone, and we
do not hesitate to say from our long
knowledge of the sustaining power of
the food that q man at the end of
sixty days would be of practically the
same weight as when he started If
he be a man of normal weight.
We will suppose that from his work
he lost a pound a day and made up a
pound each day from food. If that
premise proved to be true the man in
sixty days time would make sixty
pounds of tissue to replace what had
been last, and this would be done on
Grape-Nuts and milk with half the
number OF calories OF butter, upon
which no one can sustain life.
Therefore, we have reason to believe
that our contention is right that con-
centrated food like Grape-Nuts. which
is partly digested and ready for easy
assimilation by the body, presents
oh nj That he will
absorb than many other forms Of food.
and we will further say that in cases
of digestive troubles where meat.
/ bread and oats cannot be digested,
that Grape-Nuts and milk contain
more nourishment that the system will
absorb than many pounds OF these
other foods.
Distortion No. 8 charges that
our testimonials were practically all
paid for and rewritten in Battle Creek.
These testimonials were demanded by
the opposing lawyers. Naturally this
demand was refused, for they are held
in vaults and kept safe to prove the
truth, and are not to be delivered vi
on demand of enemies.
Testimony at the trial brought out
the fact that we never printed a single
testimonial that we did not have the
genuine letter back of. Many of these
letters came up spontaneous. A recorC
was kept OF twelve hundred and foul
] 1900 letters received in one month
from people who wrote that they haC
either entirely recovered their health
or been benefited by following oui
suggestions on food and beverages.
On three or four occasions in the
past ten or twelve years we printed

Distortion No. 1 stated that we
have been accustomed to advertise
Grape-Nuts and Postum as "cure-alls
for everything"
It has never been the policy of this
Company to advertise Grape-Nuts or
Postum to cure anything.
We say that in cases where coffe dis
agrees and is causing sickness its dis
missal will remove the cause of the
trouble, and we suggest the use OF
Postum for the reason that 1t furnishes
a 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 1t does assist ma
ture tremendously in rebuilding. pro-
vided the undigestible food that has
been used is discontinued and Grape
Nuts taken in its place.

sage of the National Food & Drugs
Act compelled US to drop from the
packages some assertions regarding the
nutrltive value OF Grape-Nuts.

TIE FIRST AMERICANS.

In the beginning the Hohokam
dwelt in the land. They were the
first Americans-before the Pilgrim
Fathers. before the Spaniards, before
the Indians. They were the Unknown
People who lived in the United States
so long ago that their name is ut
terly lost. Out i'm the Southwest oil
tribes of Indians like the Zunis AMI
Navajos know nothing of them save
by vaguest tradition. The Pimas and
Papagos of southern Arizona, who
occupy part of the land that once
was theirs, know that another race
possessed the country long ago. More
they cannot tell. They and their
fathers, for hundreds of years, have
seen what we see-the scanty rem
nants of ancient villages. For the in
habitants of the villages they have no
name except the Hohokam-that is,
the Unknown" The modern archae-
ologist describes the implements and
pottery of the Hohokam. He cannot
do much more, for their houses are
laid low. Except In a few places,
such as the ruins of Casa Grande near
the ella River, the very walls have
vanished. Casa Grande itself may be

main body of the Hohokam, We can
never know the whole story. Yet lit
tie by little we may learn it's chief
facts. Arizona and the adjacent
country are full of ruins unknown to
scientists, and even to the people who
live within a mile of them. They are
so nearly obliterated that there seems
at first sight little to repay study. Ar
chaeology begins the task of recon-
structing the past; geography must
finish. Modern geography enables us
to determine the mode of life which
must prevail, especially among prim-
tive peoples, under given conditions
of physical environment. If we can
correctly picture the geographic en-
vironment of the Hohokam, we may

If one could see just the stones

these great memorials of some for
gotten Celtic race. They extend in
two circles, the larger, the circle Of
Brogar, once numbering sixty stones,
some of them eighteen feet high No
one knows whence the stones came
nor when, nor what stupendous labor
it cost to erect them. Here sounded
the fierce prayers of Celtic and after
ward of Morse worshippers, and the
cries of sacrifcial victims. The high
stone of Odin to which doubtless the
victim was tied, has a round hole
in it's center. But all those old heath

THE NIGHT BEFORE LEES SURRENDER

In Harper's for February, Major A.

account Of the scene at General Lees
Headquarters the night before the
surrender when he was still determin.

when ] arrived at headquarters,
General Lee was in a tent, sitting be-
side General Longstreet on some bun
dies Of rye straw (the ground being
wet from The RAIN, at the upper
side of the tent, with one candle for
light. I made my report, and the
General told me to wait, as he wished
to see me. He asked me If | had had
anything to eat, and | told him no.
He said he was sorry he had nothing
to offer me- He gave me a bundle of
straw and told me to sit near the
door 1t had been raining all after

very tired, so I put my foot through
the bride rein of my mare standing
outside, and lying down on the bundle
of straw, was soon asleep.

looking up, saw the colonel had left
in charge Of the troops at the bridge
standing in the tent. He reported
that the rations had not arrived, and
the starving and discouraged troops
had all deserted in the darkness,
General Lee heard him to the end OF
his account, and then with a wave IF
his hand dismissed him. Turning 10
General Longstreet, he sad: This is
very bad. That man is whipped It
is the first time l have seen one OF
my officers who had been whipped.

keeper of the Kunawai springs, whilst
engaged in fishing in these forbidden
waters, gave the elderly custodian a
thrashing before he went away. A
penal summons followed and the mat

mer this morning. The complaining
witness has been custodian of the
springs for over a quarter of a cen
fury and though he fishes there him

the same avocation. When he found
Kaikoo infringing his right he made
a great cutlery and Kaikoo lost his
temper and beat the old man. Judge
Lymer reprimanded both, but also
found Kaikoo guilty of assault and
imposed a fine of one dollar and
costs.

v. Portland, "a Or, 1856; Little v. City
of Portland, rs Dr., 2S5; Jones v. City
of Portland, 35 Or, 512.
This case is almost identical with
that of the Commercial National Bank
V. the City of Portland. supra. We
think it a sufficient answer to the
claim of defendant to say that the rec.
ord here does not show that defendant
is making any effort to supply fund
for the cancellation of this indebted
ness, and the allegation in the COM
plant, that the city has passed two
ordinances, the latter on November 18,
1905, in the attempt to procure such
special fund, falls far short in this
respect. On the other hand, 1t Is as
serted by plaintiff that defendant has
not been duly diligent; that the time
elapsing between the completion and
acceptance of the work and the issu-
ance of the warrants and the date On
which this action was commenced,
July 7, 1909. amounts to an unreasona-
BILE delay, without explanation or ex-
cuse. ON the part of the city.
In Northern Pacific Lumber Co. v.
East Portland, supra, where the work
was completed August Is, 1884, and,
before its acceptance, action was COM
menced, September 26th of the same
year, it was held that 1t was the duty
Of the common council to have ap-
proved or disapproved thereof during
the intervening time; that the law will
not permit the capricious Withholding
Of approval in order to avoid the pay
ment Of just claim.
AS applied to the contract between
plaintiff and defendant it is within
the contemplation of the law that, in
procuring the funds with which to
meet the obligation incurred, pursuant
to the city charter, ordinance, and the
agreement set out and referred to in
plaintiffs complaint, the city must ex-
ercise reasonable diligence in making
the assessment and collecting the
same, in order to prevent liability at
taching for the liquidation of the debt
out of other funds. In effect, if the
defendant has not been negligent, and
has tolerated no unreasonable delay in
proceeding in the matter it is not liza
BILE for damages.
Under its charter the city had full
control of the proceedings to be taken
for securing the fund; not the plain
tiff, who when he had finished the la
Dor in accordance with his contract,
and the same had been accepted, had
done all that was required of him.
Jones V. City of Portland, supra.
Plaintiff alleges, in substance, that
owing to the neglect of the city TO
make "a valid assessment, and its fail
tire to exercise due diligence in prose-
cutting the suits brought by property
owners affected, it has wholly tailed
to provide said special fund for
nearly five years, and we think the
complaint, giving it a fair construction,
clearly brings the case within the pro-
visions of the law as held by this
court for many years (Bank v. Port
land, supra), and that the demurrer
should have been overruled.
The judgment of the lower court is
thel efore reversed, and the cause re-
manded without directions to ovsrrule
the demurrer, and for such other pro-
ceedings as may be proper, not incon
sistent with this opinion.
