would lead the reader of the distorted
article to believe that his education

Distortion No. IL reports Mr.. Post an
lodging witness"
His eye is not of the shifty kind OBJ
served in the head of one of his chief
critics. On the witness stand Mr.. Posi-
looks quietly but very steadily straight In
to the eyes of the haggling, twisting law
yer, trying by all his art to ask double
barreled questions and bull-doze and con-
fuse witness.

Opposing counsel holds book in his

followed some discussion between attors

When Mr.. Post was allowed to reply.
he said, II don't know until I read the
book over to see."
This book, it turns out, was written by
Mr. Post seventeen years ago and prob
ably has not been read carefully by him
in the last fifteen years. 1t would require
a remarkable memory to instantly say
Eyes, or mo" as to what book of l47
pages did or did not contain, without
reading it over,--but such conservative
and well balanced answers are construed
by sensation seekers to be "dodging-
The attorney sought by every art to
impress the Jury with the fact that Mr..
Posts belief in the power of Mind IN
relation to the body branded him as un-
reliable and worse.
The following is quoted from one q
the questions:-
(The lawyer reading from the book-)
'"The writer of these pages desires 10
say nothing of himself other than as
simple instrument through which the Di-
vine Principle chooses to manifest itself
by precept and example.
"Skill in mental practice is gained in
the same way as skill in any departments
Of science-by observation, study, expe-
rience and the ability to evolve correct
conclusions.
"Read carefully, thoughtfully no more
than twenty pages daily. Afterward seek
an easy position where you viii not be
disturbed. Relax every muscle. Close
your eyes. and go into the silence where
mind is 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 healin~ power. If you go into the
silence humble and trusting, you will come
out enriched and greatly strengthened in
body by contact even for short time
with the Father of all life and all power.
You will feel refreshed in every way and
food taken will digest readily the
stomach works smoothly when under the
influence of Higher Power"
'T ask you if you did not write that,
and if you did not believe it when yon
wrote it."
For moment the Court Room was in
absolute silence.
Mr.. Post slowly leaned forward over
the rail, pointed his finger at the Attyis

in due time. We suggest the reader look
for it.
Prevarication No. 8. "Post spends
nearly a million year IN advertising ana
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 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 "bribe" 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 exnosine fraud"
This is almost real humor.
We have two suits pending against the
weekly" total, $780, 100000.
We haven't devoted" the sum to any
particular purpose yet.
Item 10 is discovery" that wheat
bran is a 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 'Taka-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, Physl-
ology, Dietetics and PSYCHOLOGICAL 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 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"
(Notice,-"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 various editions" an
swered Post.
The attorney picked up book after
book from the pile and showed the title
pages to the jury,-all 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.

Distortion No. 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
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 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 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. 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 "compelled" to
make any change.
sal rule to print clearly on every package
exactly what the contents are made OF:
Before the passage of the Pure Food
Law the packages stated that Grape-Nuts
food was made of wheat and barley.
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
Gals 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 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
harnss grocers, pending trial on the
disputed question, we concluded that
much the better way would be to elm
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, WnedI, oats, OF DreaQ.
Some Department chemists deceive
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
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
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.
AS an illustration: Attempt to feed q
man sixty days on butter alone, with its
$50 calories. The man would die be-
fore the experiment had run sixty days.
Then, take Grape-Nuts with 800 and
milk with 0.70,-the two combined equal
4.66-about one-half the number of Gallo
ries contained in butter. The man fed for
sixty DAYS on this food would be well
nOurished, and could live not only sixty

TROLLEY LINE TO D,LwoR1H.
Company Must Build by Jan. or For.
felt Franchise Extension.

Fargo.-The first move toward the
building Of an interurban electric line
out of this city was made when the city
council extended the franchise of the
Fargo & Moorhead Street Railway
company for a period Of twenty-five
years. The extension of the franchise
becomes null and void after Jan. 1.
provided the new line is not built to
Dilworth, a distance of four miles.
by that date. Similar action will un.
doubtedly be taken by the city council
Of Moorhead at its next meeting.
The building of the line has become
imperative from the fact that the pres.
.ent means of conveyance to Dilworth,
the railway shop train, will be done
away with on Jan. 1. Should the street
railway not extend, it is estimated
that 1000 persons who now reside in
Fargo or .Moorhead will be compelled
to live in Dilworth.
Former Congressman Co1nstock pre-,
diets that the building Of the line to
.Dilworth will be the beginning of a
network of lines that within the life
of the present generation will link all
Red River valley points.

PUBLIC SCHOOL GARDENS.
Fessenden Civic League and 500 Roao
Working Together.

Fessenden.-The fall rains and the
fact that killing frost came very
late are to q great extent responsible
for the long life Of the Fessenden pub
lie school garden which until this week
was radiant with bloom and verdure.
This garden has been pronounced by
railway officials and visitors from all
parts of the country to be the best of
its kind in the state. The Fessenden
Civic league took hold of the matter
last spring and secured the permission
of the 500 Line to put in a garden on a
plot Of ground 200 by 60 feet, adjoin-
ing the right of way east of the sta
tion, and the work was carried out
with such success as to make the re-
suit a matter of surprise, even to the
most enthusiastic promoters of the en-
terprise.
The league is so we'll satisfied with
the showing made that 1t has decided
to work on a much bigger scale next
year, and with this end in view two
additional pieces of land adjoining the
500 Line right of way. comprising
some $4,000 square feet. have been
secured.
Plans have been prepared, the plow-
ing and grading Of the lots have been
completed and the landscape gardener
has commenced work, so that every.
thing may be ready for spring, and
next season will see established at
the gateway to the city public gar.
den that bids fair to be without peer
