Text of Staples Letter
Former Policeman, Cleared by Grand Jury, Says He
Will Not Press for Reinstatement, Fearing to Divert
Official attention From Brutality Probe.

The letter from Orville Staples to
Commissioner Reichelderfer in which
the former policeman, center Of a grand
Jury investigation into an alleged
"frsme-up" to get him of the force,
declared that he would not ask REIN
statement at this time, follows:
Washington today is confronted with
a tremendously important task. WASH
ington must end bad practices of its
police force, and 1t must eliminate those
responsible for rotten conditions. This
is a gigantic undertaking. one which
should compel the complete attention
of local and Federal officials. Anything
that will divert official attention from
the thorough investigation which was
initiated by you. sanctioned by the
President OF the United States and ably
carried forward by the Department of
Justice, United States District Attorney
Rover and the present grand jury,
should be eliminated from the picture.
Vindication Enough at Present.
II feel that the grand jury's action
in revealing to the world that was
innocent OF any wrongdoing. that I
was a victim or VICIOUS ponce frame
up In a trial which led to my custer
from the Metropolitan Police force. is
enough for me at the pres
ent time. I know that the question of
whether I should be restored to the
Metropolitan Police force is one that
is a source OF worry not only to you,
but to others I know that the Ques-
ton OF how my case should be disposed
of is interfering with concentration of
energies and thought on the main and
larger task. Misunderstanding up the
Washington Police force. /. therefore,
Mr.. Commissioner would like to suggest
that all plans which involve further
consideration Of my case be dropped
Immediately.

cannot emphasize too greatly. 1 feel

Increased Atbefife

Ovaltine has high content Of the appetite
producing Vitamin B. But Of greatest impor-
lance il its high proportion OF the remarkable
food element known as 'diastase." "a substance
that gives one food the power to digest the
starch content of other foods in your stomach.)
Ovaltine is SO processed that it contains enough
diastase to digest from to times its OWH sueiyh
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1931-07-19

of other foods! It is this digestive power which
chiefly distinguishes Ovaltine from any other
health food in the world, and is the main reason
why Ovaltine actually stimulates appetite.
Quick Digestion
BY breaking down the curds in the milk, by
digesting the starches in the stomach. Ovaltine
speeds up digestion and empties the stomach
sooner. This makes child hungry. For the SEN
sation of hunger is caused by the walls OF an
empty stomach pressing together, and hunger is
the basis of appetite. Child specialists will tell
you that usually when child refuses to eat, it is
because he hasn't fully digested his previous meal
poor eaters" invariably have slow digestion.
Not Nev
Ovaltine is not q sugar-loaded chocolate drink,
but scientific food concentrate that has stood
the test of time. 1t is used today in 81 nations.
Over 20, 900 doctors endorse it. It has been used
in hospitals as food for invalids and conva-
lescents for over IS years. During the World
War, it was a standard ration given by the Red
Cross to nerve-shattered. shell-shocked soldiers.
For the sake of your child, we urge you to try
it this summer. Results will surprise you. Note
the almost immediate difference in your child's
weight and nerve poise, and in greater strength,
energy and appetite.
Give it at breakfast always. At meals and be-
tween meals. You can get Ovaltine at any drug
or grocery store. Or send the coupon for 3-day
test supply.

And when mixed with milk it will break down
the curds and make the milk digest twice as
easily. (For milk alone, as you know, turns to
solid curds in the stomach.)
Children drink twice as much milk, when it's
mixed with Ovaltine, because they like the taste.
It also contains natural but vital property
called 'lecithin" which is the important part of
nerve and brain tissue. A few days use of Oval
tine usually curbs nervousness noticeably.

food chemist in Switzerland has solved the
problem for you, in a very remarkable and novel

Tbirtv-eisht wears ago this Swiss food chemist
developed an unusual method of processing GER
tain natural foods. A process that gave these
foods certain values which none of them. have
when taken alone or in an ordinary mixture. 1t
created world comment then, for it solved the
problem of feeding ;nvalids 1t is called Ovaltine
and today its use has spread all over the world
and it is solving the problem of child feeding for
modern mothers.
Ovaltine is made by unique process is pre-
pared under vacuum, thus preserving all vi
tamins and engines. Further, it is processed in
such way that it digests almost at once, with
out effort. It will digest when nothing else
seems to "agree." And constitutes in itself
complete food.
You mix it with milk and drink it as q beverage.
