marked that the Manchester ship ca

will Issue a call shortly for a meeting
of all stockmen to be held at Alliance,
January 31. The call is In accord with
the decision of the stockmen who re-1
cently held a meeting-at South Omaha I
for the purpose of discussing quaran
tine: The general government refused
to inspect ' cattle sold locally and the
state has no appropriation to pay- for
the Inspection and dipping of cattle,
This meeting is for the purpose of
getting the individual stock grower in

clean upa his own cattle. It Is said
Nebraska is behind Colorado, Wyom

clean cattle, and for that reason at the
coming meeting it will be urged that
growers dip -their own cattle, making
the preparations during the coming
spring months. The health officers
from these states who have superin
tended the cleaning up in their re

and tell what -was done by them.

Belling a Rat
You have probably read or heard
that the best way to rid a house of
rats is to catch one and fasten a bell
about its neck. A boy In Delaware
tried the experiment two months ago.
He was badly bitten in making the
bell fast, but be turned the rat loose
and expected the tinkling of that bell
would have great results. It did have.
In the first place, the rat who wore It
was constantly on the move all night
and the tinkling bell kept the family
awake, and in the next the sounds
brought scores of new rats to the
house. Instead of being afraid of the
bell, they were charmed with the mu

claiming "medicinal-effects" for either
Postum or Grape-Nuts. Medicinal ef
fects are results obtained from the
use, of medicines.
Thousands of visitors go thru our
entire works- each month and see for
themselves that Grape-Nuts contains
absolutely nothing but wheat, barley
and a little salt; Postum absolutely
nothing but wheat and about ten per
cent of New Orleans Molasses. The
art of preparing these simple ele
ments in a scientific manner to obtain
the best food value and flavor, re
quired some work and experience to
acquire.
Now, when any publication goes far
enough out of its way to attack us be
cause our advertising is "medical," it
simply offers a remarkable exhibition
of ignorance or worse.
We do claim physiological or bodily
results of favorable 'character follow

But to the. man or woman who Is

How have the hypothetical scien

beaefited themselves or' huaunity at
large by sowing .the seeds of doubt
broadcast in the world? The real sci
entists do not fall In this category, for
they are believers ia the real sense, of
the word; they know too much, they
have seen too many, mysterious mani
festations, of the. Divine creative pow
er. Now. .those who, have' disposed of
the Bible and all evidences of inspira
tion, have, written a great .many books
and 'some, of them have won- what the
world, at large lightly calls fame. Ac
cording to the ordinary measures that
are applied in such cases, they have
been extremely successful, but real
success means the benefit of human
ity in some form or other. If no such
benefits can be shown as tbe result of
their labors, their success is not equal
to' that achieved by the direst poverty

WHEN A "HUNCH" HELD GOOD.
Chinese Laundry Ticket Suggested a
Bet on "Wing Ting."
Kay Spence. a well-known horseman
of Mexico. Mo., won $1,000 at the
Louisville. Ky.. race meeting a short
time ago as -the result of a "hunch."
Mr. Spence has a large breeding
stable of "runners" near Mexico, and
attends all tbe big racing events in
the country. Not long since he was
in Louisville and entered the betting
ring to see what odds were being of
fered on the various entries. He
found that Joaquin was the favorite
at even money, and pulled his wallet
from his pocket, intending to bet on
that horse. His attention was at
tracted by something that fell from
bis wallet to the ground, and be stoop
ed and picked it up. It-was a Chi
nese laundry ticket He looked at
the "books" again and found that there
was an entry with a Chinese name.
Wing Ting, at .ten to one. That set
tled it for he 'considered he hsd .re
ceived a "bunch" that could not be
overlooked. Wing Ting won handily.
Needless to say. those who backed the
favorite considered Spence the sev

testines,, where, in a healthy 'iadl vid
ua!, the transformatloa of the starch
into a form of sugar is completed aad
then the food absorbed by the blood.
But if the powers of digestion are
weakened, a part of the starchy food
will lie in the warmth and moisture, of
the body aad decay, generating gases
snd Irritating the mucous surfaces un
til under such conditions the whole
lower part of the alimentary canal. In
cluding the colon aad the appendix,
becomes involved. Disease sets up
and at times takes the form known aa
appendicitis.
When the symptoms of the trouble
make their appearance, would it not
be good, practical, common sense, to
discontinue the starchy food which Is
causing the trouble and take a food
In which the starch has been trans
formed into a form of sugar fat the
process of manufacture?
This is identically the same form of
sugar found in the human body after
starch has been perfectly digested.
Now, human food is made up very
largely of starch and is required by
the body for energy and warmth.
Naturally, therefore, its use should be
continued, if possible, and for the rea
sons given' above it is made possible
in the manufacture of Grape-Nuts.
In connection with this change of
food to bring relief from physical dis
turbances, we have suggested washing
out the intestines to get rid of the Im
mediate cause of the disturbance.
Naturally, there are cases where tha
disease has lain dormant aad tha
abuse continued, too long, until ap
parently only the kslfe will avail. But
it is a well-established fact among the
best physicians who are acquainted .
with tbe details above recited, that
preventative measures are far aad
away the best.
Are we to be condemned for suggest-
ing a way to prevent disease by fol-
logins? natural methods and for ner-
feet ing a food that contains no "medi
cine" and produces no "medicinal ef
fects" but which has guided literally
thousands of persons from sickness to
health? We have received during the
years past npwards of 25,009 letters
from people who have been either
helped or made entirely well by fol
lowing our suggestions, and they are
'simple.
- If coffee disagrees and causes any
of the ailments common to some cof
fee users quit it and take on Postum
If white bread, potatoes, rice and
other starch foods make trouble, quit
and use Grape-Nuts food which Ia
