tor to write an article on coffee. always insisting that the article be an honest expression of his opin- ion and research.
 The Weekly hunted up this phy. sician and because he seemed to be poor. and as it says. broke down. D had him brought to Court to be ex- posed before d jury as the "only physician tha- had ever endorsed Grape Nuts but much to the cha grin of the Weekly" when our at torneys asked him if the article he wrote about coffee was true. he re piled, 'yes."
 STATEMENT NO. 5. reads: "The health officers Of Mich, Maine, Penn, New Hamp, and other states in their official bulletins have for years been denouncins as preposterous and fraudulent the claims made by the Postum Cereal Company" We do not recall any criticism except from Mich, Penn. Maine and $. Dakota The average reader might think that the opinions expressed by the State Officials are always correct, but that conclusion Is not borne out by facts.
 As an Illustration: About thirteen years ago the Dairy and Food Com mission of Michigan for some per. sional reason printed a severe crit cism on us for making Postum oi Barley (according to bis official chemIst) at market price and selling too high. He was shown there was never grain Of barley used in Pos tum. His rcporT was false and mis leading The governor dismissed him.
 We believe that most of the state ] officials are honest, and on the oth CT hand we are firmly convinced that some of their conclusions cannot be substantiated by facts in scientific { research.
 They never oriticise the purity oi our foods, for ss much We are thank ful.
 If our conclusions in regard to its being a brain food differ from theirs and we are both honest, they have rather the advantage, because un der the law they can order ns ts eliminate from tbe package any state ment if it disagrees with their opin ion. Otherw.se they would harasi i grocers.

DISTORTION NO. 12 reports Mir. Post as a "dodging witness"
 Bis eye is not of the shifty kind observed in the head of one of hls chief critics. On the witness stand Ar. Post laaks quetly but very stead y StFa. ght into the eyes of the haggling, twisting lawyer, trying by all his art to ask double-barreled luetsions and bull-doze and confuse a witness.
 The dodging" it seems consisted of replying, 'I don't know"
 Opposing counsel holds a book in his hand while he queries,-
 T want to anow if there is a sin gle thing in your whole book here that suggests any particular kind Of food" Then followed some dis cussion between attorneys.
 When NIT. Post was allowed to re- ply, he said. T don't know until l read the book over to see"
 This book, it turns out, was writ 1 ten by Mir. Post seventeen years ago and probably had not been read care 1 fully by him in the last fifteen years. | It would require a remarkable mem | ory to instantly say "yes" or mo as 10 what a book of 147 pages did or did not contain, without reading ! it over.-but such conservative and well balanced answers are construed 1 by sensation seekers to be "dodging.~
 The attorney sought by every art to impress the Jury with the fact that Mir. Posts belief in the power of Mind in relation to the body branded him as unreliable and worse.
 The following is quoted from one Of the questions:-
 fThe lawyer reading from the book).
 The writer of these pages desires 10 say nothing of himself other than as a simple instrument through 's hich the Divine Principle chooses to manifest itself by precept and example.
 skill in mental practice is gained n the same way as skill in any de partment of science-by observation, study, experience and the ability to evolve correct conclusions.
 Read carefully. thoughtfuny no more than twenty pages daily. Ar terward seek an easy position where you will not be disturbed. Relax every muscle Close your eyes. and go into the silence where mind g plastic to the breathings of spirit and where God talks to the Son. The thoughts from Divine Universal Mind come as winged angels and endow you with a healing power. If you go into the silence humble land trusting, you will come out en- riched and greatly strengthened in body by contact even for short time with the Father of all fife and all power Ton will feel refreshed in every way and food taken will digest readily as the stomach works smoothly whea under the influence of a Higher Power"

 For a moment the Court Room va in absolute silence.

tICn that TOT years every HDSLuN package announced in plain type that the outer covering of wheat (bTan), made part of the beverage
 They ignorantly fell into a trap here, not knowing enough of food value 10 know that "Taka-Distaste, the article used by physicians the world over Tor starch indigestion" is made from wheat bran"
 So we use that part of the wheat berry because iy contains the ele- ment needed to develop the valuable distaste in manufacture. Good Pos tum is impossible without this part.
 These self-appointed critics do make some laughable blunders through ignorance, but-be patient
 ITEM ii is an illustration of the squirmine and twisting of the sen safionai writer delivering distorted matter to his readers
 While on the witness stand Mir. Post testified 10 his studies in Ana tony. Phys iology. Dietetics and Psy- chology,-all relating to the prepara ton and digestion of food. Asked to name authorities studied he men toned six or eight from memory and commented on some clinical ex perience covering several years in annual journeys to Europe.
 Now notice the distortion. (Copy from the printed criticism;
 He CPosD pointed out a pile oi of f15 at O as the very ones he had read.
 (Nodce.-.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 yar,ous editions, answered Post.
 The attorney picked up book af ter book from the pile and showel the title pages to the jury,-all e2 cept two had been publishd since 1905"
 This is an example Of distortion and false eoioTing to produce an un ! ldtOFdDit 4llDItoSAOus
 The facts are Mir Post purposely introduced the latest editions tha could be obtained of prominent au lthorities to prove by them the trutl of his statements regarding appen dieitis and the analysis of brain also the latest conclusions in re gard to the action of the digestive organs. These works are:
 Human Physiology. by Raymond
 Physiological Chemistry, by simon

 The Weekly carefully eliminate from its printed account, testimon regarding the years of research an study by MT. Post in fitting himsel for his work, and would lead tn reader of the distorted article to bs lieve that his education began sine 1905.

As an illustration: Attempt to feed man sixty days on butter alone, with it's S.6O 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 com bined equal 466,-about one-half the number of calories contained in but ter. The man fed for sixty days on this food would be well nourished, and could live not only sixty days, but six months on that food alone, and we do nor hesitate to say from our long knowledge of the sustain ing power of the food that a man at the end of sixty days would be of practically the same weight as when he started.-if he be a man of nor nal weight
 We will suppose that from his work he lost a pound a day and make 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 lost, and this would be done on Grape-Nuts and milk with half the number of calor- lies of butter. uISu which no one can sustain life.
 Therefore, we have reason to be iIieve that our contention is right that concentrated food, like Grape l Nuts. which is partly digested and ready for easy assimilation by the body, presents more nourishment that the system will absorb than many other forms of food, and VIC will further say that in cases of di gestive troubles where meat. white bread and oats cannot be digested that Grape-Nuls and milk contain more noslrishment that the system
 will absorb than many pounds oi
 these other foods.

DISTORTION NO. stated that we have been accustomed Io ad- vertise Grape-Nuts and Postum as 'curealls for everything
 IL has never been the policy of this Company to advertise Grape Nuts or Postun to cure. anything.
 We say that in cases where coffee disagrees and is causing sickness It's dismissal will remove the cause or the trouble, and we suggest the use lf Postum for the reason that It furnishes a hot, palatable morn -ng beverage, and contains natural ele- nenss from the grain which can be used by nature to assist m rebuild ing nerve centres that coffee may have broken down
 Likewise Grape-Nuts food does not cure anything, but it does assist na- Tre tremendously in rebuilding. pro yided the undigestible food that has been used is discontinued and Grape Nuts taken in it's place.
 CHARGE NO. states that the passage of the National Food x Drugs Act compelled us to drop from the package some assertions. regard ing the nntritive value of Grape Nuts.
 We have never been compelled make any change.
 Since the beginning it has been a universal rule to print clearly on every package exactly what tne cen tents are made Of.
 Before the T7Ssase of the Pure Food Law the package stated that Grape-Nuts food was made of wheat and barley.
 We dO not esteem the small am ount of salt and yeast as of value enough to speak of, but after the new Law came in we became as technical as the officials at Washing ion and added the words yeast and salt" although we have nc recollection of being asked to.
 We believed that our statement that Grape-Nuts will supply element; fo nolrish the brain and nerve cen tres is true and bring authorities t' support tle fact.
 Some state chemists believed thl a gross exaggeration and inasmuel as the Food Dept. al Washington eoul easily harass grocers, pending trial on the disputed question, VI concluded that much the better wa. would be to eliminate from our pack ages such claims however certail we may be that the claims are true
 Another statement objected 10 req as follows:
 The system will absorb a greate amount of nourishment from on pound of Grape-Nuts than from tel pounds of meat. wheat, oats, O bread"
 Some Department chemists deceiv themselves as well as the public.

On this basis a table Of e Iories is prepared showing the pc centage of different kinds of foo, Rufter shows SG0: Grape-Nuts 3.SG milk O.7O.

ANT SEVERELY BEFORE
PASSING SENTENCE.
Eva Wilson Acquitted Of Charge Of
Blind Pigging-Jury Drawn in the
Thomas Case.

Tuesday morning in the district
court Judge Winchester pronounced
sentence upon William Mcdonald,
found guilty of sodomy. Mcdonald
must serve ten years at hard labor
at the state penitentiary. Before pass
ing sentence the court lectured. the
defendant severely.
The jury in the case of the State

with violation of the prohibition law,
found the defendant not guilty.
The next case to be taken up was
that of the State versus Harry Live
ly, alias George Thomas, alias Oscar
Peterson. Thomas, as he is called
here, was the man who blew open the
safe at the Goodrich Call Office, follow
ing it up on the succeeding night with
a robbery Of the Bismarck Implement

under the chaperonage Of. Curator
Fish, of the state historical society.
These Indians are educated and
very gentlemanly in their depart
ment They reside in the Fort Ber-
thold reservation at Elbowoods, where
they have large property interests.
Mr.. Smith had been down to st. Paul,
accompanied by Mr. Baker, where
they marketed 1000 head Of cattle.
1t took a train of forty-eight care
to haul the beef animals and the
amount of cash received for them
ran above the $4,000 mark.
While in the Twin Cities Messrs.
Smith and Baker purchased a large
stock of merchandise and will open
q general store at Elbowoods. The
opening of the reservation to settlers
it is expected will bring many people
to Elbowoods, and that will be an I'M
portant travelling point. Louis Baker
is a dealer in fine horses and he has
several hundred head on his range.
Messrs. Smith and Baker can give
their white brothers lessons in money
getting. Both are wealthy.
They showed great interest in the
Indian relics and history at the state

This makes about $201.000 available
