SEEKING FOR ENEMY
 TO THE GYPSY MOTH

Tn a recent bulletin of the depart ment of agriculture by T. l.. Patter- son. assistant in biology at Yale Uni- versity. it appears that the expert ments of the government with para sitic enemies of the gypsy moth in New England have not been entirely successful. The bulletin deals with a species of parasites known as sar- oophagids.
 ''These experiments" says Profes- sor Patterson, indicate very conclu- sively that the sarcophagids in New England do not destroy living gyp- sy-moth larvae or pupae in the field.
 Although all the experiments have given negative results, yet they are nevertheless of economic importance. because in Europe and Japan, where sarcophagids are more commonly as- sociated with the gypsy moth than in this country, it is possible that there may be several species that have the parasitic habit, If so, foreign in- vestigations should be hastened, for if introduced into America these par asitic sarcophagids would be an im- portant addition to the natural ene- mics of the gypsy moth"

WARNING ID RAILROAD MEN.

Look out for severe and even dan- gerous kidney and bladder trouble resulting from years of railroading. Geo. E. Bell, 63s Third St., Fort Wayne, Ind, was many years a con- ductor on the Nickel Plate. He says:
 ''Twenty years of railroading left my kidneys in terrible condition. There was a continual pain across my back and hips and my kidneys gave mo much distress. and the action of my bladder was frequent and most pain full. I got supply of Foley Kidney Pills and the first bottle made a won derful improvement and four bottles cured me completely. Since being cured I have recommended Foley Kidney Pills to many of my railroad friends" F. B. Brill and Curtis Phar- macy. s1 5

The Weekly carefully eliminates from

| the years of research and study by Mr..

would lead the reader of the distorted
article to believe that his education
began since 1905.
Distortion No. II reports Mr.. Post as

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

followed some discussion between attor-

relation to the body branded him as un-
reliable and worse.
The following il quoted from one OF
the cuestions:-
(The lawyer reading from the book.)

(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 unfavorahe
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

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
cials 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
harass grocers. pending a trial on the
disputed question, we concluded that
much the better way 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 system will absorb 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.
"Caloried" is the word which defines
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 90. Remember the statement on
the package spoke of the nourishment 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
$50 calories. The man would die be-
fore the experiment had run sixty days.
Then, take Grape-Nuts with 3.9o and
milk with 0.70,-the two combined equal
t60-about one-half the number of calo-
ries contained in butter. The man fed for
sixty days on this food would be well
nourish--, and could live not only sixty

Distortion No. stated that we have
been accustomed to advertise Grape-Nu
and Postum as "curealls 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
ondigestible food that has been used is
discontinued and Grape-Nuts taken in its
place.
Charge No. 2 states that the passage
cf the National Food g. Drugs Act COM
PEELED us to drop from the packages some
assertions regarding the nutritive value
Of GrapeNuts.
We have never been "compelled" to
make any change.
Since the beginning IL has been univer-
sal rule to print clearly on every package
exactly what the contents are made of.
