DIET MAIL
CASE DECISION DUE
Jury Expected to Decide Today
on Legality of Certain Medi-
cal "Ads."

A question Of interest to scientific
men and physicians probably will be
decided by jury in criminal division
No. 2 Of the District Supreme Court
before nightfall.
On its surface the question which
the twelve men are to decide is
whether or not George II. Brinkler a.
guilty of fraud in using the mails to
promote his method Of diet as q cura-
tive for numerous ills. The case has
been on trial for several weeks.
More Important Issue.
Beneath the question Of Brinkler's
guilt or innocence, however, il the
far more important issue-whether
that school of dieticians who claim to
be able to cure always every Ill
known to man by means OF q scien-
tifically arranged diet are to be al
lowed to use the malls to promote
their business.
A dozen or more of the country's
leading dieticians were summoned as
witnesses for the defense to refute
the allegations OF the Governments
agents and prosecutors that Brinlxler
claimed to be able to do what leading
Government experts declare impos-
sible.
DR.. Benedict Lust, OF New York, q
dieticion who has been graduated
from. renowned Institutes OF Berlin
and Munich, and DR.. Wallace Fritz, q
Philadelphia dietician, were the prin-
cipal witnesses called today.
Uphold Claims.
Both these men declared, in sub
stance, that all ills OF the body were
due to the accumulation OF foreign
tissue in the system, which, when
dissolved through a proper diet, would
leave the body and result in the re-
covery OF the patient.
Assistant District Attorney Bolitha
]. Laws opened the closing argument
to the jury for the prosecution. The
court allowed two hours each to the
prosecution and the defense in which
to make their closing arguments.
Assistant District Attorney Archer
will close for the Government, and
Attorney Henry z. Davis will argue
the case for the defense.

Work at your daily task harder

Such is the advice of Robert +

Hammer away at the thing you

well that they will stand out as your
contribution in this time Of stress
and strain.

render no greater service to the
country than to conservatively persist

CHuDREN'S DAY EXERCISES
Held at Cedar Swamp Methodist Church
Saturday Last.

Saturday Last.
Cedar Swamp, June 5:-A warm
summers sun, a clear sky with
gentle zephrs waiting the branches
of stately oaks covered with hang
ing moses amid towering pines that
have stood the storms for ages. laid
the scene for the annual Children's
day exercises at Cedar Swamp Meth

ing the usual home crowd augment
ed by a good number from a dis
tance and some who had never at
tended before, could be seen rolling
in from every direction expecting
an extremely enjoyable day, min.
Cling together in a section where
the most hospitable people dwell.
The Sunday.school scholars look
forward early in the spring time to
this occasion, eager for the approch-
ing day, especially the little girls
who are always beautifully attired in
neatly made white frocks displaying
their soft tresses of flowing hair en-
twined with pink ribbon as they
marched into the church before a
large audience with soldier like pro-
cession. The little boys, too. are
proud to march side by side with the
lassies adorned in their best suits.
Too much can not be said in be.
half of those who did the training,
for their indifatigible efforts were
shown by the perfect rendition OF
the little songs and recitations made
by the children.
The pastor of the congregation
was present and gave an interesting
talk, followed by Miss Leila Epps
who amused the children very much
telling of her first experience with
children in Brazil when she first ar.
rived in South America. She could
speak English ably and the children
whom she taught spoke Portuguese.
After the benediction came one of
the essential features of the pro-
gramme, dinner. Notwithstanding
the prevailing high cost of living
Cedar Swamp still systains the repu-
tation of providing most bountiful-
ly. There we've a half score or
more of our charming ladies who
served the crowd to good old tender,
juicy home. e.cured ham cooked whole,
retaining I'll its delicious SAVIOR, with
other good things too numerous to
mention.
The afternoon was spent at the
baseball ground where both old and
young while away the time most
pleasantly. Thus ended the day,
and may we all survive in perfect
health to assemble again one year
hence.
