The Handkerchief Came From, ltar

A writer in a French review points
out that the handkerchief does not
come to as from China, as has been
generally believed, but from Italy. 1t
is only 300 years ago that the hand
kerehief OF a Venetian lady was con-
sidered g great curiosity. The hand
kerchief crossed the Alps and was re
ceived with great favor at the court OF
France. Handkerchiefs were then
made of cambria or lawn and bordered
with Venetian or Alencon lace. Under
Henry III. of France the sachet was
introduced. The handkerchief was
taken into Germany g little later and
vas known as the .-razelletin." after
It's italian name. Only persons OF
quality used It, and an edict In 1895
was published at Dresden interdicting
the use Of the handkerchief among the
trading classes-London Globe.

Physiological Chemistry. by HammAr
stem.
Biochemic System of Medicine. by
Carey.
The "Weekly" carefully eliminates from
| its printed account testimony regarding
the years 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 education
began since 1905.
Distortion No. II reports Mr.. Post an
"dodRing 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 haggling, twisting law
yer, trying by all his art to ask double
barreled questions and bull-doze and con.
fuse witness.
The "dodging" it seems consisted Of
replying, 81 don't know"
Opposing counsel holds book in his
hand while he queries
T want to know if there is single
thing in your whole book here that sug-
gests any particular kind of food" Then
followed some discussion between attors
neys.
When Mr.. Post was allowed to reply.
he said, 81 don't know until 1 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 mo" as to what a 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 "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 Of
the questions:-
(Ths lawyer reading from the book.)
"The writer of these pages desires To
say nothing of himself other than as q
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 scence-by observation, study, expe-
rience and the ability to evolve correct
conclusions.
Tread carefully, thoughtfully no more
than twenty pages daily. Afterward seek
an easy position where you will not be
disturbed. Relax every muscle. Close
your eyes, and 20 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 90 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 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 a 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"
Meade County news. [volume] (Meade, Kan.) 1900-1918, 1911-01-19

| in due time. We suggest the reader look
for it.
Prevarcation No. 8. "Post spends
nearly a million year in advertising and
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 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 net 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 evnosing fraud"
This is almost real humor.
We have two suits pending against the
weekly" total, $5O0,00OOO.
We haven't devoted" the sum to any
particular purpose yet.
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
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 valuab BILE 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 Psychological re-
ating 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.)
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 titls
pages to the jury,-all except two had
been published since 1906"
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 ction of the digestive organs.
These works are:
Human Physiology, by Raymond.
Physiological Chemistry, by Simon.
