Our luarantaa ' ar abaolut. jj SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH "BOO-fiOO" SKoits a SpanKeci Baby0 A Doctor of Divinity, now IMItor of a well-known Religious paper, has written regarding tho controversy between be-tween Collier's Weekly und the He-llglous He-llglous Press of the Country nnd others, oth-ers, Including ourselves. Also regarding regard-ing suits for libel brought by Collier's against us for commenting upon Its methods. These nro his sentiments, with some very emphatic words left out. "Tho religious Press owes you a debt of gratitude for your courage In showing up Collier's Weekly ns the "Yell-Oh Mun." Would you euro to uso tho Inclosed article on tho "Hon Hon llaby" us tho. "Yell-Oh Man's successor?" "A contemporary remarks that Collier's Col-lier's has Dually run against n solid hickory "Post" und been damaged In its own estimation to the time of $750,000.00." "Hero is u publlcntlou,whlch has, lu utmost disregard of the facts, spread hioadcust damaging statements about tho Religious Pi ess and others nnd lias suffered those false statements to go uncontradicted until, not satisfied after llndlng tho Religious Proas too qulot, and peaceful, to resent Hie Insults, In-sults, It makes tho mistake of .wandering .wander-ing Into fresh Held and butts its rattled rat-tled head against this Post and all thu World laughs.

No cheery laugh cornea from Colllcr'a, but It cries and boo hoos like a spunked baby und wants $750,000.0(1 to soothe Rb tender, lacerated feelings." feel-ings." "Thanic Heaven It has at last struck a man with "back bono" enough to cull n spado a "spado" und who bollovita In telling the whole truth without fear or favor." I'orliaps couiors wmi us "utmoai disregard for tho facts," may say no such letter exists. Nevertheless It Is on lllo in our olllco and la only ono of a mass of letters und other data, newspaper news-paper comments, etc., denouncing tho "yellow" methods of Collier's. This volume la so largo that a man could not well go thru It under half a day's steady work. Tho letters como from various parte of America. Usually a private controversy la not Interesting to, the public, but thla la n public controversy. Collier's has been using thn "yellow" mothods to attract attention to Itsolf, hut, jumping In tho air, cracking heels togothor nnd yelling "Ixiok nt mo" wouldn't sulllco. bo it started out on a "Holler Than Thou" attack on tho Ho-llglous Ho-llglous Press and on medicine Wo leavo It to tho public now, ns we did when wo first rosouted Colllor'u attacks, to say whether, In a craving for sensation and circulation, Kb attacks at-tacks do not amount to a systematic mercenary hounding. Wo likowlso leuvo It lo tho public to say whether Collier's, by Its own policy und moth- oils, has not mnde itself moro ridiculous ridicu-lous than any comment of ours could miiko It. Does Colllyr's expect to regain nny self-lnillcted loss, of prestige by demonstrating de-monstrating thru suits for damages, that It can bu more artful In evading liability for libels than the humble hut resentful victims of Its defamation, or does it hope for starting a campaign of libel suits to silence the popular indignation, in-dignation, reproach and lesentment which It has aroused. Collier's can not dndgo this public controversy by private law suits, it I can not postpone tho public Judgment , against It. That great Jury, jtho Public, Pub-lic, will hardly blame us for not waiting wait-ing until we got a petit Jury in n court room, before denouncing this prodigal prod-igal detractor of Institutions founded und fostered elthor by Individuals or by the public, itself. No announcements during our entire business career wero ever niiido claiming "medicinal effects" for either Postuin or Grape-Nuts. Medicinal effects ef-fects lire results obtained from the use ot medicines. ' Thousands of visitors go thru our entire works each month and seo for themselves that Grape-Nuts contains absolutely nothing hut wheat, barley und u little salt; Postuin absolutely nothing but wheat and about ten percent per-cent ot Now Orleans Molasses, The art of pieparlng thoao slmplo elements ele-ments In a scientific manner to obtain thu best food value and llavor, required re-quired some work and exporlcnco to acquire. Now, when any publication goes, far enough out of its way to attack ua be-' causo our advertising Is "medical," It simply offers a remarkable exhibition of Ignorance or worse. Wo do claim physiological or bodily results of favorable character following follow-ing tho adoption of our suggestions regarding re-garding the discontinuance of coffee and foods which mny not lie keeping the Individual lu good health. Wo hnvo no advice to offer tho perfectly healthful person. His or her health la evidence In Itself that tho bovpr-ages bovpr-ages and foods used exactly fit that person. Thereiore, why change? Hut to the man or woman who la tilling, wo have something to say as a result of an unusually wide experience in food and the result of proper feeding. feed-ing. In tho palpably ignorant attack on mi In Collier's, appeared this statement, state-ment, "One widely circulated paragraph para-graph labors to Induce tho Impression that Grapo-Nuts will obviate tho necessity ne-cessity of an operation In appendicitis. appendi-citis. This Is 'lying and potentially deadly lying." In reply to thla exhibition of welt let tho reader name ltHtho Postum Co., says: I-ot It bo understood that appendicitis appendi-citis results from long continued disturbance dis-turbance In the Intestines, caused primarily pri-marily by undigested starchy food, such as whlto bread, potatoes, rlco, partly cooked cereals and such. Starchy tood Is not digested In tho upper stomach but passes on Into tho duodenum, or lower stomach nnd Intestines, In-testines, whore, lu a healthy Individual, Individ-ual, thu truiiBformatlou of tho starch Into a form of sugar Is completed and s-S then tho food absorbed by tho blood. Hut If tho powers of digestion aro weakened, a part of the stairhy food will He lu thu warmth nnd moisture of tho body nnd decay, generating gases nnd Irritating the mucous suiiaces until un-til under such conditions the wholo lower part of the alimentary canal, Including In-cluding the colon and the appendix, becomes Involved. Disease set's up and at times takes the form known as appendicitis. When tho symptoms of the troublo make their appearance, would It not bu good, practical, common sertso, to discontinue the stnrchy food which Is causing; tho troublo nnd take a food In which tho starch litis been trans- l formed Into a form of sugar in tho Is process of manufacture? This 1b Identically the same form of sugar found lu the human body nfter starch lias been perfectly digested. Now, human food Is made up very largely of s'nrch and la required by tho body for energy nnd warmth. Naturally, therefore, Its use should bo continued, If possible, and lor tho reasons rea-sons given above It r.i made poaslblo In tho manufacture or Grape-Nuta, In connection with this change or food to bring relief from physical disturbances, dis-turbances, we have suggested washing out tho Intestines to get rhl of tho Immediate Im-mediate causo of tho disturbance. Naturally, there are cases where tho dlseaso has lain dormant and tho abiiso continued too long, until up-pnreutly up-pnreutly only tho kuRo will avail. Hut It Is u well-established fact 111110114; tho best physicians who uro ncqualnted with tho details above recited, that preventative measures are far und awuy tho best. Aro we to bo condemned for suggesting suggest-ing a way to prevent disease by following fol-lowing natural methods and for perfecting per-fecting n food that contains no "medicine" "medi-cine" and pioducos no "medicinal of-fects of-fects but which has guided literally tliousnndB of persona from sickness to health?
