Dr. E. H. Pratt, Suite 1202, 100 State St., Chicago, Illinois. My Dear Doctor: "Owing to some disagreement with magazine several years ago they liave become quite vitupera tive, and of late have publicly charged me with falsehoods in my statements that we have genuine testimonial letters. "it has been our rule to refrain from publishing the names either of laymen or physicians who have writ ten to us in a complimentary way, and we have declined to accede to the demand of attorneys that we turn these letters over to them. "I am asking a few men -whom I deem to be friends to permit me to reproduce some of their letters over their signatures In order to refute the falsehoods. "We have hundreds of letters from physicians, but I esteem the one that you wrote to me In 1906 among the very best particularly in view of the. fact that it recognizes the work I have been trying to do partly through the little book, "The Road to Wellville." "I do not sell or attempt to sen the higher thought which is more Important than the kind of food, but I have taken considerable pains to extend to humanity . such facts as may have come to meon this sub ject. "In order that your mind may be refreshed I am herewith enclosing a copy of your good letter, also a copy of the little book, and if you will give me the privilege of printing this over your signature I will accompany the printing, with 'an explanation as to why you permitted its use in pub lication in., order to -refute iaise hoods, and- under that method of treatment T feel, so far as I know, there would be no breach, of the code of ethics. "I trust this winter weather Is finding you well, contented and en Joying the fruits that are yours by right. With all best wishes, I am," Yours very truly, C. "W. Post. Dr, Pratt, who is one of the most prominent and skillful surgeons in America, very kindly granted our request in the cause of truth and justice. Chicago, Aug. 31, 1906. Mr. C. W. Post, Battle Creek, Mich. My Dear Sir: "I write to express my personal appreciation of one of your business methods, that of accompanying each -package of your Grape-Nuts produc tion with that little booklet "The Road to Wellville." A more" ap propriate, clear headed and effective presentation of health-giving auto suggestions, could scarcely be penned. "Grape-Nuts is a good food In it self, but the food contained hx this little article is still better stuff. I commend the practice because I know that the reed and strenuous. ness, the consequent graft and other types of thievery and malicious mis chief generally can never be cured by legislative action. "The only hope for the betterment of the race, rests in individual soul culture. "In taking a step in this direction, your process has been so original and unique that it must set a pace for other concerns until finally the whole country gets flavored with genuine, practical Christianity. "I shall do all that lies in my power to aid in the appreciation of Grape-Nuts, Hot so much for the sake of the food itself as for the accom panying suggestions. "Visiting Battle Creek the other day with a friend, Dr. Kelly of Evanston, Illinois, while I was con sulting with Mr. Gregory, my friend visited your factories and came away greatly amazed, not only at the lux urious furnishings of the offices gen erally and the general equipment pt the place, but with the sweet spirit Of courtesy and kindness that seemed to fill the air with a spirit ual ozone that was good to breathe. "The principles expressed in the little booklet, "The Road to Well ville,". I well know are practical and they work in business of all kinds, including sanitariums, as will bo fairly tested before time is done. "I know you will not regard this letter of appreciation as an intrud ing one. It is simply the salutation of good fellowship to you from a man who, although he haa never seen you, feels drawn to you by the kinship of thought. "The only thing that makes a man live forever in the hearts of his countrymen and his race is the good that he does. 'Your position in this respect is an enviable one and I wish to e"xtend my congratulations." Yours respectfully, B. H. PRATT. NEBRASKA'S NEW SENATOR (Continued from Pago 130 achieved in progressive government by the laws of state and nation which havo given us pure food laws which protect every family in the land. "And in the matter, of the protec tion of property consider what great advance has been made even within our own day by state and nation, in the passage of laws regulating the railroads and traffic associations of the .United States. Only a few years ago the free pass 'evil was univet-1 sal. A few years ago every railrqad in: the land, -was discriminating against the smaller shipper whom It was. robbing and enriching the great trust. The people of the United States almost without regard to party in state as well as in national legislation have grappled with this evil and freed the public highwayp from this misuse. "Then also in the matter of the protection of property interests and the individual rights, consider what great reform has been achieved and isstill being struggled for in the passage of anti-trust laws, not only by congress but by the various states. The day of triumph has not fully come, but it is coming. Some day these anti-trust laws will suffice to stop the evil they are intended to meet. "Consider also the great progress that has bVen made in our own time in progressive government by the re form of our election laws. First came the Australian ballot which tended to purify elections It has done a great deal to free from the corrupting power of money and from intimidation at the polls the electorate of the country. "Consider also what advance was recently made by the passage of laws providing for the publicity of cam- jpalgn contributions and the corrupt practices act of the various states. "Consider also what reform has been made by progressive legislation in the direction of tax reform. More than half of the states of the union today have laws providing for in heritance taxes whose beneficent ef fects are widely recognized. And within a few years our national con gress in response to the amendment of 'the constitution, which the people will undoubtedly enact in time, will give us an income tax to place upon the wealth of the country, some of the burdens now borne altogether by the consumers. "All parties have had a share In these and other progressive steps, the people have demanded them, and it is well upon this occasion which represents an epoch in tho history of Nebraska, to call them to our minds. Wo hav recentlr secured only with in a few years the inauguration of a great system of rural free delivery for the millions of farmers all over the country. Still more recently wo have secured tho establishment of a system of postal savings banks to encourage thrift and protect tho poor people of the country in thoir savings. Only since this legislature met we have heard the good news from Washington that tho law which Nebraska had passed for tho protec tion of the savings and the deposits of the people which we call tho guar anty bank law had been declared valid and been vindicated by the highest court in tho land. Thus an other great reform has been made. We have passed within our owit recollection laws for tho protection of child labor. We havo passed laws for the limiting of tho hours of labor in order to protect the classes of society not always able to pro tect themselves. Wo have passed laws establishing arbitration boards for the settlement of labor disputes. "The men of all parties in this legislature are pledged to enact ?. system of initiative and referendum voting, which is a progressive idea tending still further to mako tho legislative body responsive to the popular will. "And finally gentlemen, this state has taken only second place in all tho union in putting into practical effect the popular demand for the election of senators by tho direct vote of tho people. So I say I am glad to be one of tho actors today in this great ceremonial, and the great beneficiary of this occasion, which marks a new epoch, in pro gressive government. I am glad at this moment to forget that I am; a democrat, forget that I am a party man, and glory in that I am a1 Ne braskan and belong to the- state. "Mr. President, I am In every sense a Nebraska man. I was born here in this state fifty-one years ago. I am a son of Nebraska. I belong to her people. I am bone of thoir bono, flesh of their flesh, and it shall be my pride as her senator to be faithful to her interests and respon sive to her wishes. I thank you."
