The mex, day man appeared from

your telephone bell ring most OF the

But none OF the family could en-

The next day he came again, took
the telephone entirely to pieces, ex-

At last 1t occurred to the autfsori-
ties to examine little box, of about
the size Of an ordinary suit case,
which was nailed up against a large
tree close by the house.
In this box several telephone wires
conyerged. It was a sort of neigh
bofhood switchboard.
What was the surprise of the tele-
phone men to find thiS box nearly
filled with nuts. They took out three

The Postum Company does pay out up
wards Of 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 .bribeo them:
It may have escaped notice that we

weekly. total, $500 100000.
We haven't devoted" the sum to any

Item 10 is 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
eringA of wheat (bran), made part Of the
beverage.
They ignorantly fell into i 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 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 the witness stand Mr.. Post
testified to his studies in Anatomy, Physi-
ology, Dietetics and Psychology, AL re-
lating to the preparation and digestion Of
food. Asked to name authorities studied
and commented on some clinical expo
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.

swered Post.
The attorney picked up book after
book from the pile and showed the title
pages to the iury.-all except two had
been published since 1901"
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 "a. prove

garding appendicitis and the analysis Of

Law the packages stated that Grape Nuts
food was made of wheat and barley.
Z We did not esteem the small amount
of salt and yeast as of value enough to
speak of, but after the new Law came
in we became as technical as. the Off
ciaR 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-
ish the brain and nerve centefs is true
and bring authorities to support the fact.
Some state chemists believed Wis
gross exaggeration and inasmuch as the
Food Dept. at Washington could easily
harass grocers, pending S3rial on the
disputed question: We concluded that
mate from our packages such claims,
however certain we may be that the
claims are true.
Another statement objected to read as
follows:
THE system will absorb greater
amount of nourishment from one pound
Of Grape-Nuts than from ten pounds of
meat, wheat oats, or bread"
Some Z Department chemists deceive
themselves as well as the public.
"Caloried" is the word which defines
INIT 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-N 396;
milk 0.70. Remember the statement on
the package spoke of the punishment the
Eystem 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.
As an illustration: Attempt to feed a
man sixty days on butter alone, with its
500 calories The man would die be-
fore the experiment had run sixty days.
Then, take Grape4Nnts with 3.o6 and
milk with 0.7o,--the two combined equal
4.66-a1out one-half the number of calo-
RIGS contained in butter. The man fed for
sixty days on this food would be well
nourished, and could live not only sixty

Distortion No. seated that we have
bean accustomed to advertise Grape Nuts
ard Postum as "cure-alls for everything. 2
It has never. been the policy of this
Company to advertise Grape-Nuts or Pos
tum to cure anything.
We say that in cases where coffee disa-
grees and is causing sickness its dismissal
will remove the cause of the trouble, and
we suggest the use of Postum for the
reason that it furnishes 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-Nu food does not
cur. 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.
