At last It occurred to the authori.
ties to examine little box, of about
the size of an ordinary suit case
which was nailed up against a large
tree close by the house.
In this box several telephone wires
converged. 1t was a sort of neigh
borhood switchboard.
What was the surprise of the tele-
phone men to find this box nearly
filled with nuts. They took out three
peach baskets full, each one holdir 2
at least two quarts.
Rioting among the nuts were The
youthful members of promising
squirrel family-Chrisdan Herald.

Distortion No. stated that we hav,
been accustomed to advertise Grapefruit
and Postum as "cure-alls for ever thing.
It has never been the policy Of thi.
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.
Since the beginning it has been univer-
sal rule to print clearly on every package
exactly what the contents are made of
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 Wa hsaaa 20
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-Nrts viii 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 ana 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 a
unit of heat determined by the amount |
to raise one kilogram of water
one degree centigrade. On this basis a
table of ealories is prepared showing the
of different kinds of food
Butter shows $50; Grape-Nuts 800:
milk 0.70. Remember the statement on
The package spoke of the nourishment the
.vstem would absorb, but did not speak OF
he calories Of heat contained in it, for
he heat Is not nourishment, and the
cannot be judged by the
number of heat units, notwithstanding
he fact that certain chemists would have
he public believe so.
AS sn illustration: Attempt TO feed
nan sixty days on butter alone, with its
LOO caloTies. The man would die be
ore the experiment had run sixty days.
Then, take Grape-Nuts with sos and
milk with 0.70,-the two combined equal
66-aoout one-half the number of ealo-
les contained IN butter. The man fed for
ixtv DAYS on this food would be well !

Would Regulate Building in State.

Madison.-That legislation should
be passed by the state limiting the
right of municipal common coun ellis
to issue building permits and that a
general state building law be passed
and r1gidly enforced are two of the
main features of State Fire Marshal t.
M. PurtelPs fourth annual report.
According to the state Official. the
city councils are in the habit of enact
Ing rigid building legislation and then
evading its provisions by issuing spe-
cial permits
Among other features of the report
is the statement that most of the fires
are the result of criminal carelessness
and neglect and that rigid enforce
ment of the laws would eliminate the
majority of the fires.
While practically the same an ,unt
of property was affected by fires in
1910 as In 1909, $20.000,OOO, the loss
last year was 100000 less than in
1909, was another statement of the re-
port. This would tend to show an i'm
provement in fire fighting methods.
Even though this is an improvement,
a comparison, on basis CT population
with foreign countries shows that Wis
consin has ten times the number of
fires than most countries of Europe.
As a means of lessening the annual
fire toll, the marshal suggests that
courses of instruction in the proven
ton of fires be instituted in all schools
and also suggests a general building
law to supercede the various building
ordinances passed by the cities.
That the present laws are being en-
forced is shown by the fact that the
department has succeeded in sending
five offenders to states prison for VIC
lating the state statutes in regard to
fires, one to the house of correction,
four to insane asylums, two cases are
now pending, in one of which the &C.
cused has been bound over to the cir.
cult court. five cases are being investi.
gated while one suspect is a fugitive
from justice.
Among the preventive measures car
ried out by the department was
series of bulletins warning citizens |
against the danger of fires on July |
and Christmas and the making of a
model city ordinance more seyel n |
It's provisions than the state la. 4 /

for it.
Prevarication No. g. ''Post spends

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 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 not we "bribe" them.
1t 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, $500, 10000.
! We haven't devoted the sum 20 any
particular purpose yet.
Item to is a discovery that wheat
! bran is a part of Postum.
| But the criticism neglected to mention
/ ttAab III years every 4 Obbuin pdtAdkt dli-
| nounced in plain type that the outer COW
ering of wheat (bran), made part Of the
| beverage.
They ignorantly fell into q 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
20 develop the valuable diastase in man
afacture. Good Postum is impossible
without this part
These self-appointed critics do make
some laughable blunders through ignor-
anee, but-be patient.
Item II is an illustration of the squirrrl-
ing and twisting of the sensational writer
delivering distorted matter to his read
ers
While on the W. ness stand Mr.. Post
testified TO his studs in Anatomy, Physi-
ology, Dietetics ans Psychologist 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-
rlence covering several years IN annual |
journeys to Europe.
Now notice the distortion Copy from
the printed critieism.)
He POST pointed out a pile of books
in possession of his attorneys as the very /
ones he had read"
(Notiee,-"the very ones be had read"
leading the reader to believe that they
were the only ones.)
"Did you consult the books from these
editionss" 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.
