AND CONSIDER
THE ALL-
IMPORTANT FACT
That in address*
Ing Mrs. l'iuk-
ham you are con-
fiding'your private
ills to a woman—
a woman whose exp
enee with women's
eases covers a great
jnany years.
Mrs. Pinkham is the
daughter-in - law of
Lydia K. Pinkham,
and for many years
underherdireetion,
and since her de-
cease.she has been
advising sick wo-
men free of charge. U
Many women
Buffer in silence and drift along from
bad to worse, knowing full well that
they ought to have immediate assist-
ance, but a natural modesty impels
them to shrink from exposing tliem-
aelves to the questions and probable
examinations of even their family
physician. It is unnecessary. Without
money or price you can consult a wo-
man whose knowledge from actual ex-
perience is great.
Mrs. Plnkhsm's Standing Invitation.
Women suffering from any form of
female w eaknessare invited to promptly
communicate with Mrs. l'inkham, at
Lynn. Mass. All letters are received,
opened, read and answered by women
only. A woman can freely talk of her
private illness to a woman; thus haa
been established the eternal confidence
between Mrs. Pinkham and the women
of America which has never been
broken. Out of the vast volume of
experience which she has todraw from,
it is more than possible that she has
Rained the very knowledge that will
help your case. She asks nothing in
return except your good-will, and her
advice has relieved thousands. Surely
any woman, rich or poor, is very foolish
if she does not take ad vantage of this
generous offer of assistance.
If you are ill, don't hesitate to get a
bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham'sVegetaWe
Compound at once,and write Mrs. Pink-
ham. Lynn. Mass., for special udvice.

ERROR MADE IN
BILL IN COMMITTEE
Full Blood Indians Cannot Sell Land
For Twenty-five Years
MIXED BLOODS TO ADVERTISE
Removal of Restrictions Clause
May Be Tacked on to Indian
Appropriation Bill
Washington After the conference
report on the five civilized tribes bill
had been agreed to in the senate, and
just before it was called up in the
house, it was discovered that a cleri-
cal error had been made in the senate
committee by striking out the words
"the senate recedes," which virtually
destroys a section authorizing the
secretary of the interior to take chaar
of the schools, the section to author-
ize him to collect the internal revenue
and abolish tribal taxes in Indian
Territory, and the section to take
possession of school properties and
sell the same.
While these matters could all have
been looked after bv future legisla-
tion, it is deemed advisable to offer a
resolution 'authorizing the enrolling
clcrk to make the correction, and the
house adopted it with only a few dis-
sentingvote*. when offered by Sena-
tor Curtis, of Kansas. It now goes
to the senate for immediate action.
As soon as corrections are author-
ized the bill will go to the president
for his approval.
The friends of the bill were unsuc-
cessful in their attempts to have sec-
tion 19 restored to the bill which pro-
vided for the removal of restrictions
upon the allotments of all Indians of
Mixed blood.
The way the bill now stands no full
blood is permitted to sell his allot-
ment for a period of 25 years and the
mixed bloods are allowed to sell only
by advertising their land at the Union
acency for a period of sixty days.
There is still a bare possibility that
the removal of restrictions clause
may be tacked on to the Indian ap-
propriation or sundry civil bi . The
chance of such action being taken are
however, remote.
One important feature of the bill,
especially in its effect upon Muskogee
and other large cities of tlir- territory,
is that it provides a method by which
such cities may become cities of the
lirst class and gives them the right to
tax railroads which has not heretofore
been enjoyed.

Ho All Ye Faithful Followers of Ananias
GIVE EAR?
A Young Girl said io a Cooking School Teachcr in New York: 41 If You msto
One Statement as False as That, All You have scid about Foods
is Absolutely Unreliable.'*
This burst of true American girl Indig-
nation was caused by the teacher saying
that Grape-Nuts, the popular pre-dlgest-
ed food, was made of stale bread shipped
In and sweetened.
The teacher colored up and changed
the subject.
There is quite an assortment of travel-
ing and stay-at-home members of the
tribe of Ananias who tell their false-
hoods for a variety of reasons.
In the spring It is the custom on a cat-
tle ranch tohavea"round up,"and.brand
the cattle, so we are going to have a
"round up," and brand these cattle and
place them In their proper pastures.
FIRST PASTURE.
Cooking school teachers—this
includes "teachers" who have ap-
plied to us for a weekly pay ir they
would say "something nice" about
Grape-Nuts and Postum, and when
we have declined to hire them to
do this they get waspy and show
their true colors.
This also Includes "demonstra-
tors" and "lecturers" sent out by a
certain Sanitarium to sell foods
made there, and these people in-
structed by the small-be-whis-
kered doctor—the head of the In-
stitution—to tell these prevarica-
tions (you cau speak the stronger
word if you like). This same little
doctor conducts a small magazine
In which there Is a department
of "answers to correspondents,"
many of the questions as well as
the answers being written by the
aforesaid doctor.
In this column some time ago
appeared the statement: "No, wo
cannot recommend the use of
drape-Nuts for it Is nothing but
bread with glucose poured over it."
Right then he showed his budge as
a member of the tribe of Ananlaa.
He may have been a member for
some time before, and so he haa
caused these "lecturers" to de-
scend into the ways of the tribe
wherever they go.
When the young lady In New
Tork put the "Iron on" to this
"teacher" and branded her right
we sent $10.00 to the girl for her
pluck and, bravery.
THIRD PASTURE.
Now we come to a frisky lot, the
"Labor Union" editors. You know
down In Texus a weed called
"Loco" Is sometimes eaten by a
steer and produces a derangement
of the brain that makes the steer
"batty" or crazy. Many of theGe
editors are "Locoed" from hate of
anyone who wlllnot Instantlyobey
the "demands" of a labor union,
andltlstheuniversal habit of such
writers to gostralghtlnto a system
of personal vilification, manufac-
turing any sort of falsehood
through which to vent their spleen.
We assert that the common citizen
has a right to live and breathe air
without asking permission of tho
labor trust and this has brought
down on us the hate of these edi-
tors. When they go far enough
with their libels, Is It harsh for us
to get Judgment against them and
have our lawyers watch for a
chance to attach money due them
from others? (Eor they are usual-
ly Irresponsible.)
Keep your eye out for the "Lo-
coed" editor.
SECOND PASTURE.
Edltorm of "Trade" papersknown
as grocers' papers.
Remember, we don't put the
brand on all, by any means. Only
those that require It. Thaae mem-
bers of the tribe have der-.anded

papers and when we do not consid-
er It advisable they Institute a cam-
paign of vituperation and slander,
printing from time to time manu-
factured slurs on Postum orUrape-
Nuts. When they go far enough
we set our legal force at work and
hale them to the Judge to answer.
If the pace haa been hot enough to
throw some of these "cattle" over
on their backs, feet tied and "bel-
lowing," do you think we should
be blamed? They gambol around
with talis held high and Jump stIK
legged with a very "cocky" air
while they have full range, but
when the rope Is thrown over
them "It's different."
Should we untie them because
they bleat soft and low? Or sbould
we put the Iron on, so that people
will know the brand ?
Let's keep them In thla pasture,
anyhow.

Now let all these choice specimens
take notice:
We will deposit one thousand or
fifty thousand dollars to be covered by
a like amouut from them, or any one of
them, and if there was ever one ounc
of old bread or any other ingredient
different than our selected wheat and
barley with a little salt and yeast use'
In the making of Grape-Nuts, we will
lose the money.
Our pure food factories are open at all
times to visitors, and thousands pass
through each month, inspecting every
department and every process. Our fac-
tories are so clean that one could, with
good relish, eat a meal from the ttoors.
The work people, both men and wom-
en, are of the highest grade In the state
of Michigan, and according to the state
labor reports, are the highest paid In
the state for similar work.
Let us tell you exactly what you will
see when you Inspect the manufacture of
Grape-Nuta. You will find tremendous
elevators containing the choicest wheat
and barley possible to buy. These
grains are carried through long convey-
ers to grinding mills, and there convert-
ed Into flour. Then the machines make
selection of the proper quantities of this
flour In the proper proportion and these
parts are blended Into a general flour
which passes over to the big dough mix-
ing machines, there water, salt and a lit-
tle yeast are added and the dough knead-
ed the proper length of time.
Keffiember that previous to the barley
having been ground It wss passed
through about one hundred hours of
soaking in water, then placed on warm
floors and slightly sprouted, developing
the diastase In the barley, which changes
the starch In the g ain Into a form of
sugar.
Now after we have passed tt Into
dough and It hss been kneaded long
enough. It is moulded by machinery into
loaves about II Inches long and S or S
Inches In diameter. It Is put Into this
shape for convenience In second cooking.
These great loaves are sliced by ma-
chinery and the slices placed on wire
trsya, these trays. In turn, placed on great
steel trucks, and rolled Into the second-
ary ovens, each perhaps 76 or SO feet long.
There the food Is subjected to a long low
heat and the starch which haa not been
heretofore transformed Is turned Into a
form of sugar generally known as Post
Sugar. It can be seen glistening on the
granules of Grape-Nuts If held toward
the light, and this sugar Is not poured
over or put on the food as these prevari-
cators Ignorantly astert. On the con-
trary the sugar exudes from the Interior
of each little granule during the procees
of msnufarture, and reminds one of the
little white particles of sugar that come
out on the end of a hickory log arter
It has been sawed off and allowed U>
stand for a length of time.
This Post Bugar la the most digestible
• ■jod known for human uae. It la so per-
fect In Its adaptability thst mothers with
very young Infants will pour a little
warm milk over two or three spoonfuls
of Orape-Nula, thus washing thesugsroff
from ths granules and carrying It with
There's a Reason"
the milk to the bottom of the dish. Then
this milk charged with Post Sugar Is led
to the infants producing the most satis-
factory results, for the baby has food
that It can digest quickly and will go oil
to sleep well fed and contented.
When baby gets two or three months
old it is the custom of some mothers to
allow the Grape-Nuts to soak in tho
milk a little longer and become mushy,
whereupon a little of the food can be led
in addition to the milk containing the
washed off sugar.
It is by no means manufactured for a
baby food, but these facts are stated as
an Illustration of a perfectly digestlblo
food.
It furnishes the energy and strength
for the great athletes. It Is In common
use by physicians in their own famine]
and among their patients, and can be
seen on the table of every first-class
college in the land.
We quote from the London Lancet
analysis as follows: "
"The basis of nomenclature of this
preparation is evidently an American
pleasantry, since 'drupe-Nuts' Is derived
solely from cereals. The preparatory
process undoubtedly converts the food
constituents into a much more digestible
condition than In the raw cereal. This
Is evident from the remarkable solubli-
lty of the preparation, no less thau one-
hmf of It being soluble in cold water.
Jl he soluble part contains chiefly dextrin
and no starch. In appearance 'lirape-
Nuts'resembles fried bread-crumbs. The
grains are brown and crisp, with a pleas-
ant taste not unlike Blightly burnt malt.
According to our analysis the following
Is the composition of 'Urape-Nuts:'
Moisture, 6.U2 percent, mineral matter,
2.dl percent; fat, 1.60percent; protelds,
15.d0 per cent; soluble carbohydrates,
etc., 4<J.40 per cent; and unaltered car-
bohydrates (Insoluble), 25.1i7 per cent.
The features worthy of note in this analy-
sis ure the excellent proportion of pro-
teld, mineral matters, und soluble car-
bohydales percent. 1 he mineral matter
was rich In phosphoric acid. 'lirape-
Nuts' is described as a brain and nerva
food, whatever that may be. Our analy-
sis, at any rale, shows that It is a nutrl-
tlve of a high order, since it ontaius Uio
constituents of u complete food in very
satisfactory and rich proportion and in
an easily assimilable state."
An analysis made by the Canadian
Government some time ago sliows that
urape-Nuts contains nearly ten times
the digestible elements contained in or-
dinary cereals, and foods, and nearly
twice the amount contained In any other
food analysed.
The analysis is familiar to practlcalljr
every successful physician in America
and London.
We print this statement In order that
the public may know the exact facts up-
on which we stake our honor and will
back It with any amount of money that
any person or corporation will put up.
We propose to follow some of these
choice specimens of the tribe or Ananias.
When you hear a cooking rehool teach-
er or any other person assert that either
Postum or Grape-Nuts are made of any
other Ingredients than those printed on
the packages and as we say they are
made, aend us the name and address,
also name of two or three witnesses, and
If the evidence la clear enough to get a
Judgment ws will right that wrong
quickly.
Our business haa always been conduct-
ed on as high a grade of human Intelli-
gence as we are capable of. and we pro-
pose to clear the deck of these prevari-
cators and liars whenever and wherever
they can be found.
Attention la again called to the gen-
eral and broad Invitation to visitors to
go through our works, where they will be
shown the most minute process snd do-
vice in order that they may understand
how pure nnd clean and wholesome
Urape-Nuts and Postum are.
There Is an old saying among business
men that there Is some chance to train a
fool, but there Is no room for a liar, for
you never can tell where you are, and
we hereby serve notice on all the mem-
bers of this aaclsnt tribe of Ananias that
they may follow their calling In other
lines, but when they put forth their lien
about Grape-Nuts and Postum, we pro-
pose to give them an opportunity to an-
swer to the proper authorltlee.
The New York girl wisely said that
if a parson would lie about one Item, it
brands the whole dlsoourse as absolutely
unreliable.
Keep your Iron ready and brand thsee
"mavericks" whenever you find then
running Ioom.
