Not long slnco lie wa. In Louisvlllo and entered the betting rIng to see what odds were being of. fered on the varlouB entrIes. Ho found that Joaquin was the fovorito at even money , and pUlled his wa11et from his pocket , Intending to bet on \ that horse. His attention was attracted - tracted by something that feU from I his wallet to the ground , and he stoop. cd and picked It up. It was a Chi. neso laundry ticket. He looked at L the "books" ogaln and found that there . was an entry with a Chinese name , Wing Tlng. at ten to one. That set- tied it , for he considered he had rOe ! ceived a "hunch" that could not be overlooked. Wing Tlng won handily. Needless to say , these who backed the favorlto considered Spence the SOY. enth on of the seventh son.-Kansal ' . City Star. " " "BOO-HOQ" . . . . " . Shouts a Spanked Baby _ 'A Doctor of DIvinity , now Editor of n weU.lmown Religious paper , has written regarding the controversy between - tween Collier's Weeldy and the Re. IIglous Press of the Country and others - ers , including ourselves. Also regard. ing suits for libel brought by'Colller's against us for commenting uP9n its methods. These are his senUments , with some very emphatic words leCt out. "Tho religious Press owes YO1a debt at gratltudo for your courage in showing up Colller's Weekly as the "Yell.OI1 Man. " Would you care to use the inclosed artlclo on the "Doo Hoe Daby" as the "YeU.Oh Man's . successor ? " "A contemporary remarls that Col- 1I0r's has finaUy run against a solid , hickory "Post" and been damaged In its own estimation to the tune of ' 750,000.00. " "Hero Is a publication which has , in utmost disregard of the facts , spread broadcast damaging statements about the Religious Press and others and has suffered these false statements to go uncontradicted until , not satisfied atter finding the Religious Press too quiet , and peacofu ] , to resent the Insults - sults , it malws the mlstako of wanderIng - Ing into fresh field and butts Its rattled - tled head against this Post and aU the World laughs. Even Christians smllo , as the Post 'l5uddenly turns and gives It bacle a dose of its own medicine. " "It is a mlstalo to say aU the World laughs. No cheery laugh comes from Colllor's , but It cries and boo boos 111m n spanled baby and wants $750,000.00 to seethe Its tender , lacerated feel. ings. " "Thank Heaven It has at last struclc n man with "back bone" enough to caU a spade a "spado" and who believes in telling the whole truth without fear or favor. " Perhnps Collier's with Its "utmost disregard for th.o facts , " may say no such letter oxists. Novortholcss It Is on file in our ofilco nnd Is only one of a mass of letters and other data , news. paper comments , etc. , denouncing the "yellow" methods of Colller's. This . volume is so largo that a man could not weU go thm It under half a day's L I5teady war ] , . The letters como from various Iarts of America. Usually a privatI ) controversy Is not Intorestlng to the public , but this Is a public controversy. Colller's hns been using the "ye1l0w" methods to attract attention to Itself , but , jumping In the air , cracldng heels together and yelllng "Loole I\t mo" . wo"ldn't sufl1co , so It started out on a "Holler Than Thou" nttn.cl , on the He- . IIgtous PI'ess and on medicine. Wo len.vo It to the public now. as wo did when we first resented Collier's attaclts , to sa ) ' whether. In a eravlng for sensation and circulation , Its at- tacls do not amount to a systematic mercenary hounding. 'VI. ! lII\Owlso leave It to the IlUbllo to say whether Cemor's , ) ' Its own 1I01lc ) ' and meth. ods , has not made Itself more ridiculous - lous than any comment of ours could make it. Does Colller's expect to regain any self.1nfiicted loss of prestige' ' by de. monstratlng thru suits for damnges , that , it can bo moro artful' in evading lIab1l1ty for libels than the humble but resentful victims 'of its defamation , or does It hope for starting a campaign of libel suits to sllenco the popular Indignation - dignation , reproach and resentment which it has aroused. Collier's can not dodge this-public controversy by private ] aw suits. It can not postpone the public judgment against it. That great jury , Ithe Public - lic , will hardly blame us for not waitIng - Ing until we get a peUt jury in n. court room , before denouncing this prodIgal - Igal detractor of Institutions founded and fostered either by indIviduals or by the public , Itself. , No announcements during OU1 : entlro business career were over made calmlng ] "medicinal effects" for either , , Postum or Grapc.Nuts. 1\Iedlclnal ef- tects are results obtained tram the use of medicines. Thousands of visitors go thru our entlro worls each month and see for themselvcs thot Grape.Nuts contains absolutely nothing but " , heat , barley nnd a mtlo salt : Postum absolutey ] nothing but wheat and about ten percent - cent of New Orleans Molasses. The art at preparing these simple ele. ments In a scientific manner to obtain the best food value and fiavor , re. qulred some worle and experience to acqulro. Now , when any publication goes far enough out of its way to aUacl , us be. cause our advertising is "medical , " it simply offers a remarmblo ] exhibition of Ignorance or worso.

Starchy food Is not digested in the - upper stomach but passes on int .thaa duodenum , or lower stomach and intestines - testines , where , in a healthy Individual - ual , the transCormation of the starch into a form of sugar is completed and then the food absorbed by the blood.
