this would be done on Grape-Nuts and

Therefore, we have reason to believe
that our contention is right. that con

The Weekly" carefully eliminates from
its printed account testimony regarding
the wears of research and study by Mr..
Post in fitting himself for his work, and
would lead the reader of the distorted
article to believe that his educat ion
began since 1905.
Distortion No. z reports Mr.. Post as
a 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.. Post
looks quietly but very steadily straight IN
to the eyes of the hagghng. twisting law
yer, trying by all his art to ask double
harreled questions and bull-doze and con-
fuse a witness.
The "dodging" it seems consisted Of

Opposing counsel holds a book in his
hand while he queries

followed some discussion between attor-

When Mr.. Post was allowed to rr7lv.
he said, Il don't know until 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
remarkable memory to instantly say

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 o.
the questions
THE lawyer reading from the booh)
"The writer of these pages desires 10

For a moment the Court Room was in

that caused those of the Attorney to drop

Item 10 is a discovery that wheat
bran is a part or Postum.
But the criticism neglected to mention
that for years every Postum package an
nounced in plain type that the outer Gov
ering of wheat (bran), made part OF the
beverage.
They ignorantIy fell into 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 selfappointed critics do make
some laughable plumbers through ignor-
ance, but-be patient.

The attorney picked up book after

SLEEP TWICE AROUND CLOCK
EnuIish Physlolan Says. That Is Worth Weeks Holiday for Worm
 Out People.

If you are just about the end of your tether, if your nerves jang'e so that even your best friends can hear them. and if each day feels like a fsry torture almost not to be borne it is sign that you are worn out and in need of rest and recupera- ton. If your vacation is already past or still in the distant future try taking vacation in minimum, that is sleep the clock around twice, choosing Sunday if you can spare no other day, and see how fit you will feel afterward. This is the ad- vice of a well-known English physi- clan and it is well worth taking.
 ''To pass "A hours in bed," he said to a friend, instead of rushing away for a few hours change of scene, when you are run down phys ically and mentally, is worth a weeks holiday. The night before going to theater, to take the mind of worries, and having supped wise ly and we'll, instructions should be given that the morning calling shall be omitted.
 "Then sleep. On waking again ring for some hot milk. Drink it and sleep again and keep on sleep ing. Have nothing in the intervals more substantial than soup. Do not read. Keep the eyes closed constant- ly. Have a warm bath in the eve- ming and sleep again.
 "When you are tired of sleeping, sleep again for the night. Nothing calms the nerves more than resting the eyes"

FISH WITH VEGETABLE MILK
Indians of Bolivia Find k Easy to Par. aIyxs and Capture the Finny
 Tribe.

Indians of Bolivia have a peculiar method of going fishing. A writer in the Geographical Journal says: 1: ''They use the milk of the 'manuna' or 'soliman' tree, the scientific name of which is, I think, hura crepitans, of the Euphorbia genus, for catch ing fish. I went with some of the Indians to lagoon in the forest. Here, floating on the surface of the water, perfectly alive and yet abso- lutely unable to get away, were fish of all kinds, big and small, from which theJ selected the most pala- table for food. The milk is merely poured into the water, and as it spreads every fish which comes in contact with it becomes paralyzed and yet is not affected as food. More over, the effect appears to last for several days without killing the fish. The milk is also used as cure for toothache, as a caustic and for the purpose of suicide, for which tea spoonful is employed. As a poison they say the results are painful"
