It must be very cold or the iflavor is lost. Other fruit remnants can be treated jwlth equal success. For instance, if (there are apples and a pine available (this formula could be followed: Pare and core apples to fill four cups when cut Into tubes.

SQUIRRELS RANG TELEPHONE Max Examines Box Where Wires Were Converged and Finds It Nearly Full of Nuts. A lady in Englewood, N. J., was called to the telephone one day by the operator, who inquired, "What db you want?” "Nothing at all,” she responded. "Your bell rang," insisted the operator. As "None of us rang it,” replied the lady.

Some Suspicious Persons ■.•*/• , ' • ; v Enquired 'if we were “haring” a certain “weekly” paper to abuse us.

Os course every time a spot light is turned on from any source It offers a splendid chance to talk about the merits of the products, but ’pon honor now, we are not hiring that “Weekly.” The general reader seldom cares much for the details of “scraps.” Ji. few may have read lately some articles attacking us and may be interested in the following: Some time ago a disagreement arose with a “Weekly.” They endorsed our foods by letter, but wanted to change the form of advertising, to which we objected. ’i* v - r * '•*- The “Weekly” discontinued inserting our advertisements while they were negotiating for some changes they wanted in the wording and shape of the advertisements, and during this correspondence our manager gave instructions to our Advertising Department to quit advertising altogether in that “Weekly.” Quite a time after the advertising had been left out, an editorial attack cajne. We replied in newspapers and the scrap was on. Then came libel suits from both sides, and some harsh words. Generally tiresome to the public. That “Weekly” has attacked many prominent men and reputable manufacturers. Our Company ;.seems prominent enough for a sensational writer to go after, hunt for some little spot to criticise, then distort, twist and present it to the public under scare heads.

Distortion No. 1 slateib that we have • been accustomed to advertise Grape-Nuts and Postum as ;‘cure-alls for everything.” It has never been tt\e policy of this Company to advertise Grape-Nuts or Postum to cure anything. We say that in cases where coffee disagrees 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 raa£ have broken down. ... r _... . ■* . 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. • e Charae No. 2 states that the passage of the National Food & Drugs Act compelled us to drop from the packages some assertions regarding the nutritive value of Grape-Nuts. * We have* never been to make any change.

Sir Tee the beginning it has been a universal rule to print clearlv on every ‘package exactly,, what the contents are made of. Before the passage of the Pure Ford Law the packages stated that Grape-Nuts food was made of wMtat flnd 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 we “became as -technical as the officials at Washington and added the “veast” and “salt.” although we have no recollection of being asked to. ..... We believed that our statement that Grape-Nuts will supply elements to nourish the brain and nerve centers is true bring authorities to support the .fact. Some state chemists believed this *a gross exaggeration and 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 fee to eliminate 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 pbsorb a greater amount of nourishment'from one pound of Grape-Nuts than from ten pounds of meat; wheat, oats, or bread.” Department chemists deceive themselves as well as the public. “Calnried” is the •word which defines a unit"“©f~ heaf determined by amount necessary to raise one kilogram water orrr degree* centigrade. On* this * basis- a ' table of calories is prepared whtiwing the percentageV'f different kinds of food. Butter shows •8.60: Grape-Nuts 1 3.96: milk "0.70. Remember the statement on the package spoke of the nourishment th > system wm-M absorb, but did not speak of the calorics of 5 beat contained in it, for the heat- is not nourishment, and the nourishment cannot be iydged bv the number of heat* the fact that certain chemist* would have the publicjrbclieve so. - * As an illustration: Attempt to feed a mrm fcixty 4gy(*on butter alone, with its 8 00" calories. * The man would die before the experiment had run sixty days. Then, take Grape-Nuts with 3.90 and milk with 0.70, —the two combined equaj #oß—about one-half the number of calc rip* contained in butter. The man fe<Lfov sixty days on thi* food would be well nourish*,/ and could live not only sixty

It may be remembered that we were first attacked and have since defended ourselves by placing facts before that great jury-r The Public. , A good “s r ap” is more or less comforting now and then, if you know you are right. . " In the case lately tried, an appeal has been taken to the higher courts. We have unbounded faith in the ultimate decision of our American Tribunals. t)ur suits against the “weekly” have not yet been tried. They are for libel

Th next day a man appeared from the telephone office. "I have come to see what makes your telephone bell ring most of the time,” he remarked. *' . But none of the family could enlighten him, and ho saw nothing about it which was out of order. The next day he came again, took the telephone entirely to pieces, examined the full length of the wire. Still, he could find nothing amlq§, and still at the central office the little flame kept burning in the niche dedicated to this particular family. This indicated that their bell was ringing.

days, but six months on that food alone, and we do not hesitate to say from our long knowledge of the sustaining power of the food that a man at the end of sixty days would be of practically the same weight-.as when he he be a man of normal weight. We will suppose that from his work he,dost a pound a day and made up a pound each day from food* If that premise proved to be true the man in sixty days’ time would make sixty pounds of tissue to replace what had been lost, and this would be done on Grape-Nuts and milk with half the number of calories of butter, upon which no one can. sustain b/e. r: Therefore, v<e have' reason to Relieve that our contention is right that concentrated food like Grape-Nuts, which is partly digested and ready for easy assirailatipn by the body, presents more nourishment that the system will abr°rh than many other forms of food, and we will further sa? that in cases of digestive troubles where meat, white bread and oats cannot be digested, that GrapeNuts and milk contain more nourishment that the system will absorb than manj* pounds of these other foods.

Distortion No. 3 charges that our testimonials were practically all * paid for and re-written in Battle Creek. These testimonials were demanded by the opposing lawyers. Naturally this demand was refused, for they are held in vaults and kept safe to prove the tmth. and are not to be delivered up on demand of enemies. ‘ ' Testimony at the trial brought out the fact that we never printed a single testimonial that we did not have-the genuine letter back of. Many or" these leTfers came spontaneously. \A record was kept of twelve hundred and four (1204) letters received in one month from people who wrote that thev had either entirely recovered their health or been benefited by following our suggestions on food and beverages. Off three or four occasions in the past ten or twelve years we printed broadcast iri'"-papers offers of prizes to users of Postum and Grape-Nuts,—two hundred SI.OO prizes, one hundred $2.00, twenty of flTOp and five of each:—stating that each must be an honest letter with uame and 'tfre agreed not to publish names, but to furnish them to enquirers by letter. These letter writers very generally answered those who wrote to them/and* verified the truth of the statements. Under this • agreement not tp publish names literally scores of letters came from doctor*. We kept our word. and neither 'printed * their names or surrendered the letters. ' Bight, here notice an “imitation spasm.” The “Weekly” says: “Post got those testimonials by advertising for them.’ In New York he used for that purpose the New York Magazine of whose editor is now .in the Federal Penitentiary * for fraudulent use of tfee mails. For exam-ple.-Post announcedWn that magazine in 1907, etc*,” (then follows our prize competition). ■ r We used nearly all of the papers and m.-iL’.-izincs in Now York- arid the rest of America, but the sensational writer gives the impression to his* readers that the only, magazine we used was one “whose editor is'now in the Federal Penitentiary,” etc., something that we know nothing of the, truth' of now, and never did. Space was bought in the magazine spoken of on a business basis for the reason that it went to-a good class of readers. The incident sPems to have furnished an opportunity for a designing writer to deceive his readers. We look upon honest human testimony

At last It occurred to the authorities to examine a 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. It was a sort of neighborhood switchboard. What was the surprise of the telephone men to find this box nearly filled with nuts. They took out three peach baskets full, each one holding at least two quarts. Rioting among the nuta were the youthful members of a promising squirrel family—Christian Herald.

So an attorney from New York spent more or less time for months in Battle Creek hoping to find impurities in our foods, or dirt in the factories. After tireless spying about he summoned twenty-five of our workmen and took their testimony. Every single one testified that the foods are made of exactly the grain and ingredients printed on the packages; the wheat, barley and com being the choicest obtainable —all thoroughly cleaned—the water oT the purest, and every part of the factories and machinery kept scrupulously clean. , That all proved disappointing to the “Weekly." There are very few factories, hospitals, private —or hotel and restaurant kitchens thaticould stand the close spying at unexpected times and by an enemy paid to find dirt or impurities of some kind. In any ordinary kitchen or factory he would find something to magnify and make a noise about. But he failed utterly with the Postum Works and products. Twenty to thirty thousand people go through the factories annually and we never enquire whether they are to spy or not. It makes no difference to us. He next turned to discover something about our advertising that could be criticized. An analysis of the methods and distorted statements of the “Weekly” may interest some readers, so we take up the items one by one and open them out for inspection. We will “chain up” the harsh words and make no reference in this article to the birth, growth and methods of the “Weekly” but try to coufine the discussion to the questions now at issue.

frem men ami women as to the means by which they recovered health as of tremendous value to those in search of it, Qur business has been~clsTlducted from the very first day upon lines of strict integ-rity-and we never yet have published i false testimonial of human experience. Many of these letters covered numerous sheets; some, if printed, would spread over half a page of newspaper. If we would attempt to print one such letter in every one of the thousands of papers and magazines we use. the cost for printing that one letter would run into many thousands of dollars. We boil down these letters exactly as a writer bails his newß,—sticking sacredly to th£ important facts jmd eliminating details'about the family and other unimportant matters. This work of boiling down, or editing, is done honestly, and with a full knowledge of our responsibility, but notice thq art of the “twister” in the way he presents to his readers this matter of testimonials. Distortion No. 4. This is a bad one. It reads as follows: “The only famous physician whose- name was signed to a testimonial was produced in Court bv Colliers and turned out to be a poor oM brbkendown homeopath, who is now working in a printing establishment. • Tie received ten dollars ($10,00) for waiting his testimonial.” We will wager ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00) with any investigator that we have, subject to inspection of any fair committee, upwards of three hundred (300) communications from many of them expressing the highest commendation of our products, but these will not now or ever be turned over to the use. "N Notice the statement in -this - charge: “The otilv .famous physician whose name, was signed to Postum testimonial-, etc.” The truth is, this Dr. Underwood was oneoo - f f great many physicians who have written commendatory words about* the value of our foods, but every now and then some physician, writes an article" &n coffee or on food, and sends it to ui with a suggestion of compensation for his time and medical ‘knowledge. Previous to the time when we employed physicians in- our own business, we occasionally employed a / doctor to write an article on coffee, always insisting that the article be an hofiest 1 expression of his opinion and research. ? The “Weekly” hunted up this -phytieian; and because he seemed to be poor, and as it says.' “brokendown.” had him brought to Court to be-exposed before a jurv as tl\e “only physician that had ever endorsed Grape-Nuts.” but much to the chagrin of the “Weekly,” wh*m our attor neys asked him if the article he wrote about coffee was true he replied, “yes.” Statement No. 5 reads; “The health, officers of Mich./ Marne-,- Penn., - New TTamp., and, other states in their official bulletins have for years* been denouncing at preposterous and fraudulent the clainv* made by the Postum Cereal Company. We do not recall any criticism except from Mich,, Penn., Maine and S. Dakota. The average reader, might think that the.opinions expressed by the State Officials are always^correct, but that conclusion is not borne out by facts. , As an illustration: About'.thirteen years ago the Daily and Food Commission of Michigan for some personal reason printed a severe criticism on us,for making Posturn of Barley (according to his official chemist),at market price and selling too high. He was shown there was never a grain of barley used in Postum. ftis rtfport was fa Island misleading, ' governor dismissed him. We believe that most of the tate

officials are honest, and on the other hand we are firmly convinced that some of their conclusions cannot- be-fosubstan-tiated by facts in scientific research. They never eritieize the purity of our foods, for so much we are thankful. If our (Conclusions in regard to its being a brain food differ from theirs, and we are both honest, they have rather the advantage, because under the law they can order us to eliminate from the package affy statement if it disagrees with their opinion. Otherwise they would harass grocers. t Spasm No. 6 eays: . “The most dau-& gcrous thing in the world for one threatened with appendicitis is, to eat any food whatever. Notwithstanding he knew that danger. C. W. Post advertised Grape-Nuts at ‘fifteen cents a package for those” so threatened.” This is intended to muddle the reader into believing that we put out Grape-Nuts as a cure for appendicitis. Mr. Post, himself, has had probably as wide exp£rienc*e ns any other man in America in the study and observation of food as related to the digestive organs, and we proved in Court by the physicians nnd surgeons on the Witness stand that the predominating cause of appendicitis is undigested food; and that it is necessary to quit eating food, and when the body requires food again, use a pre-di-gested food, or at least one easy of digestion. v Dr. Orhfinor in his work on appendicitis refers directly to the use of the wellknown pre-digested foods that can bo obtained o on the market. He also brought put--the interesting fact that hr “after treatment” it is advantageous to take on a pre-digested food. The -price of the package (referred to by th^. weekly) is ,not known by us to have any relation to the question. Our advice to stop using indigestible food in bowel troublea*&nd to use GrapeNuts food has been &< great blessing to tens of thousands of people, and we hope will continue- to bless a. good many more In the succeeding years.

No. 7 is a live wire. It refers to C. W. Post and his studies and experience in ''Suggestive Therapeutics.” or “Mental Healing” which further lead to a most careful a pdr systematic study of the—effect of the mind on the digestive and othg) er organs of the body., "He attended clinics in Europe and fitted himself for a future career in which he has become known as one of the food experts of the world, fitted to judge both from the material as well as the mental side of the question. : Fpr about eight years previous to 1891 he was an -invalid. In thet year, after being under the care of several wellknown physicians, he was quickly healed, . by what to him was a curious and not well-understood method. Sufficient to sav he became a well man, weighing about 185 pounds. This experience challenged his investigation into causes of disease -and their amelioration. Those studies and .experiences developed a very profound' reverence fnr a Supreme Power wmen directly operates upon the human being, and this reverence for the Infinite became to him' a form of religion which included honesty of purpose towards his fellow-man. A statement which will he indorsed by everyone who knows him closely. He will make a public announcement in detail of these facts, and the Postum Company will cause that statement to be published in newspapers and magazines..

After all the smoke of legal battle blows away, the facts wHI stand out clearly and never be forgotten that Postum, Grape Nuts, and Post Toasties are perfectly pure, have done good honest service to humanity for years, the testimonials are real and truthful, and the business conducted on the highest plane of commercial integrity. - , > “There’s a Reason” Postum Cereal Cos..

"Do you want to take him home with you?” said Father Nugent, who had charge of the affair. ‘ "Replly,” replied Misa Kohler, “he’s very nice, but I don’t think I want him.” "Very well, then, I’ll have to sell him to the highest bidder, and I’ll start the auction with a bid of $6." As no one made a higher bid, Father Nugent banded to Miss Kohler a $5 bill in lieu of 267 pounds of Casey.

in due time. We suggest the reader look for it/ • . . eafelk.-..- —■ - Prevarication No. 8. “Post spends nearly a nmlion a vear in advertising and relies on that to keep out of the newspapers the dangerous nature of the fraud lie is perpetrating on the public.” The Postum Company dees pay out upwards of a million a yekr for trade announcements. Newspaper men believe our statements truthful or they Would not prins them. Large numbers of newspaper men use our products. They are capable of tclifrig .the public whether or ri t we “bribe” them. . It may Joaye escaped notice that we did not “bribe” that particular weeklj\ No. 9 states that the amount of the verdict will “be devoted by the ‘weekly' to cvnnmg fraud.” This is almost real humor. We have two suits pending against the “weekly,” total, $500,000.0Q. ' 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 announced in plain type that the outer covering of wheat (bran), made part of the beverage. They, ignorantly rnto a trap here, not knowing enough of food value to know that ‘Taka-Diastase” the article, used by physicians the world over for “starch indigestion” is made from /“wheat bran.” So we use that .part or the whea‘t berry r because it contains the element needed to develop the valuable diastase in pi anlifacture. GoocT Postum is impossible without this part. These self-appointed critics do make some laughable blunders through ignorance, but—be patient.

Itenj 11 is ah illustration of the squirming ana fwistrng~of the sensational writer delivering distorted matter to his readers. While on the witness stand Mr. Post testified to his studies in Anatomy, Physiology, Dietetics and Psychology,—all relating to'the preparation-and digestion of, food. Asked to name authorities studied •he mentioned six or eight from memory, and comirtented on some clinical experience covering several years in annual journeys to Europe. ....... ' ;■ > * .

' . “From those and various editions,” answered Post. ‘vThe attorney “picked up hook after book Trom the pile and sho.wed 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.

Physiological Chemistry, by Hamma? ■ten. . Jhochemic System of : Medicine,~*'%j 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, ami would lead, the reader of the distorted article to believe “that hia education, began since 1905. Distortion No. 12 reports Mr. Post as a “dodging witness.” eye is not of the shifty kind ob* served in the head of one of his chie! critics. On the witness stand Mr. Post Looks quietly but very steadily straigHt'into the eyes of the haggling, twisting lawyer. trying by all his art to ask doublebarreled questions and bull-dofce and confuse a witness. The “dodging” it. seems consisted of replying, “I don’t know.” Opposing counsel holds a book in hid hand while he queries,— • T want to know if there is a singlething iii your whple book here that suggests any particular kind of food.” Then, followed some discussion betw-een attorneys. • When Mr. Post was allowed to reply* he said, “l don’t know until I read the book over to see.” # This book, it turns oirt, was written by Mr, Post seventeen years ago and probably been read carefully by him in the fifteen years. It would require a remarkable memory to . instantly say “yes” or “no” ns to what a book of 147 pages did or did not contain, without reading it oyer,—but such conservative anc( well balanced answers are eons trued by sensation seekersYo be “dodging.”* . The attorney sought -by every art to impress the dury with the fact that Mr. Port's belie/ in the power of Mind in relation to the body branded him as,unreliable and worse. The following is quoted from one 62 the questions: (The lawyer reading from the book.) “The writer of these .pages desires ,tO SSy nothing of himself other than as ,i simple instrument through which the Di--vine Principle chooses to manifest itself by precept and example. “Skill in vj mental practice is gained in the same wav as skill in any department •of science—by observation, study, experience and the ability to evolve correct conclusions. “Read carefully, thoughtfully no more than twenty daily.
