! for it.
Prevarication No. 8. "Pest spends
| nearly a million a year in advertising and
relies on that to keep out OF the news,
papers the dangerous nature of the fraud
| ne 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 pre- ducts.
They are capable Of telling the public
whether or not we -briben them.
It may have escaped notice that we
did not ''bribe" that particular weekly.
No. states that the amount of the
verdict will ''be devoted by the weekly
to exnosing fraud"
This is almost real humor.
We have two suits pending against the
weekly" total, $500,0o0.00.
We haven't devoted" the sum to any
particular purpose yet.
Item 10 is a discovery" that wheat
bran is a part of Postum.
But the criticism neglected to mention
that for years every Postum package an
neunced in plain type that the outer COW
ering of wheat (bran), made part of the
beverage.
They ignorantly fell into a 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 squirnl-
ing and twisting of the sensational writer
delivering distorted matter to his read
erS.
While on tho witness stand Mr.. Post
testified to his studies in Anatomy, Physi-
ology, Dietetics and Psychological re-
lating to the preparation and digestion OF
food. Asked to name authorities studied
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.)
ibid 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 iury,-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.

Post in fitting himself for his work, and

began since 1905.
Distortion No. IL reports Mr.. Post as
a "dodging 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

barreled questions and bull-doze and con-
| fuse witness.
The "dodging" it seems consisted OF

Opposing counsel holds a book in his
hand while he queries,-
T want to know if there is a single

gests any particular kind of food" Then
followed some discussion between attor-
neys.
When Mr.. Post was allowed to reply.
he said, Il don't know until l 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
eyes" or "no" as to what book of lat
pages did or did not contain, without
reading it over,--but such conservative
and well balanced answers are construed
by sensation seekers to be lodging"
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 Of
the euestions:-
(The lawyer reading from the book.)
''The writer of these pages desires to
say nothing of himself other than as a
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 department
of science-by observation, study, expo
rience and the ability to evolve correct
"Read carefully, thoughtfully no mora
than twenty pages daily. Afterward seek
an easy position where you will 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 healing power. If you go into the
silence humble and trusting, you will como
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 as 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 you
wrote it."
For moment the Court Room was in
absolute silence.
Mr.. Post slowly leaned forward over
the rail, pointed his finger at the Atty's
face to emphasize his reply and with eyes
that caused those of the Attorney to drop
he said. eyes, am proud to say / did,"

PHYSICIAN ADVISES
 CUTlCURA REMEDIES

-Four years ago had places break out on my wrist and on my shin which would itch and burn by spells, and scratching them would not seem to give any relief. When the trouble first began, my wrist and shin itched like poison. l would scratch those places until they would bleed before I could get any relief Afterwards the places would scale over, and the flesh un- derneath would look red and feverish. Sometimes it would begin to itch until 1t would waken me from my sleep, and l would have to go through the scratching ordeal again.
 Our physician pronounced it dry eczema" l used an ointment which the doctor gave me, but 1t did no good. Then he advised me to try the Cuti- cura Remedies. As this trouble has been in our family for years, and is considered hereditary, I felt anxious to try to head 1t off. I got the Cuti- cura Soap. Ointment and Pills. and they seemed to be just what I needed
 The disease was making great neadWay on my system until l got the Cuticura Remedies which have cleared my skin of the great pest From the time the eczema healed four years ago. until now. have never felt any of it's pest, and I am thankful to the Cuticura Soap and Ointment which certainly cured me. I always use the Cuucura Soap for toilet, and I hope other sufferers from skin diseases will use the Cuticura Soap and Ointment" " (Signed) Irven Hutchison. Three Riv- CTS, Mich. Mar. 16, 1911.

 The vegetable exhibit will attract a great deal of attention. and some marvellous potatoes. carrots, turnips cabbage and caulif1ower are shown.
 It Is true that the homestead area is being rapidly taken up and the bulk of that now te be had lie. north of the Saskatchewan river in a DOT tion of the country known as the park country. Here there Is large euan- tity of open prairie interspersed by beautiful groves of poplar and willow Water is in abundance. hay Is plentL ful and consequently fodder for anil mals is right at hand. Those who have taken advantage of farming in these districts and watched the efforts of those in the prairie proper feel that they have the advantage of their brother, who is not able to secure fuel and the other eonyeniences of the park district on his own farm.
 The crop conditions throughout Western Canada the past year have been generally good. and some won derful crop yields of wheat, oats and barley are recorded.
