So an attorney from New York spent more or less time for
months in Battle Greek hoping to find impurities in our foods, or
dirt in the factories. After treess spying about he summoned
twenty-five of our work1nen and took their testimony. Every
single one testified that the foods are made of exoctly the grain and
ingredients printed on the packages; the wheat barley and corn
being the choicest obtainabe-al thoroughly cleaned the water Of
the purest, and every part of the factories and machinery kept
scrupulously clean:
That all proved Disappointing to the Weekly" There IRE
very few factories, hospitals, private-or hotel and restaurant kit
chens that could stand the close spying at unexpected times and by
Al enemy paid to find dirt or impurities of some kind.
In any ordinary kitchen or factory he would find something to
magnify and make a noise about.
But he failed utterly with the Postum WORKS and products:
Twenty to thirty thousand people 60 through the factories annual
ly and we never enquire whether they are there to spy or not. 1t
makes no difference to US.
He next turned to discover something about our advertising
that could be criticized.
An analysis of the methods and distorted statements of the
Weekly may interest some readers, SO we take up the items one
by one and open them out for inspection. We will chain up" the
harsh words and make no reference in this article to the birth,
growth and methods of the Weekly" but try to coufne the dis
cussion to the questions now at issue.

for it.
Pre~varication No. Z. Post spends
nearly q million a 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 a million a 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 '1bribe" 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 evnos,np fraud
This is almost real humor.
We nave two suits pending against the
weekly" total. $500, 10000.
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

They i%gnorantly fell into a 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
because it contains the element needed
to develop the valuable d~iastase in man.

without this part.
These self-appointed critics do make
some Imaginable 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 Psychologist re-

FpfOfe the passage OF the fUre FOcu
Law the packages stated that Grape-Nuts
food was made of wheat and barlev.
We did not esteem the small amount
of salt and yeast as of value enough to
speak of. but after the new Law came
c,ais at Washington and added the words
"yeast" and salt" although We have
no recollection of being asked to.
We believed that our statement that
Grape-Nuts will supply elements to nour-
kh 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
harass groce>. pending a trial on the
disputed Question. we concluded that
much the better wav 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:
"The sve+on win -b.crb a greater
amount Of nourishment from one pound
of Grape-Nuts than from ten pounds of
meat, wheat, oats, or bread"
Some Department chemists deceive
themselves as well as the public.
"Caioried" 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 $50: Grape-Nuts 3.96:
milk 0.70. Remember the statement on
the package spoke of the nourishment the
sys.em would absorb, but did not speak of
The ~calcries cf 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 30.
As an illustration: Attempt TO feed a
man SIXTY days on butter alone, with it's
So c~slories. The man would die be-
fore the experiment had run sixty days.
Then. take Grape-Nuts with 3.a6 and
milk with 0.70.-the two combined equal

Enqured if we were "hnng" a certain weekly" paper to abuse us.

OF course every time a spot light is turned on from any source
I offers a splendid chance to talk about the merits of the products,
but pom honor now, WI arr not hiring that Weekly"
The general reader seldom cares much for the details of scraps"
A few may have read lately some articles attacking US and may
be interested in tn: following:
Some time ago a disagreement arose with a Weekly" They
endorsed our foods by letter, but wanted to change the form of
advertising, to which WI objected.
The Weekly" discontinued inserting our advertisements while
they were negotiating for some changes they wanted in the word
ing and shape of the advertisements, and during this correspondence
our manager gave instructions to our Advertising Department to
quit advertising altogether in that Weekly"
Quite a time after the advertising had been left out, an editorial
attack came. We replied in newspapers and the scrap was on.
Then came libel suits from both sides, and some harsh words.
Generally tiresome to the public.
That Weekly" has attacked many prominent men and repu-
table manufacturers.
Our Company seems prominent enough for a sensational
writer to GO after, hunt for some little spot to cridcise, then distort.
twist and present It tic the public under scare heads.

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 Pos
tun to cure anything.
We say that in cases where coffee disa-
grees and is causing sickness it's dismissal
will remove the cause of the trouble, and
we suggest the use of Postum for the
reason that it furnishes a hot p~alatable
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 broker
down.
Likewise Grape-Nuts food doe. not
cure anything, but it does assist nature
tremendously in rebuilding. provided the
undigestible food that has been used is
discontinued and Grape-Nuts taken in its
place.
Charge No. 2 states that the passage
of the National Food & Drugs Act COM
PEELED us to drop from the packages some
assertions regarding the nutritive value
of Grape-Nuts.
We have never been "eompelled" to
make any change.
Since the beginning it has been a univer-
sal rule to print clearly on every package
exactly what the contents are made of.

1t may be rememberedthat we were first attacked and have since defended
ourselves by placing facts before that great jury-The Public.
A good scrap is more or less comforting now and then, if you know
you ire rght.
In the case lately tried, an appeal has been taken to the higher courts. We
have mbounded faith in the ultimate decision of our American Tribunals.
