My Dear. Doctor:
"Owing to some disagreement with
magazine several years ago
they have become quite vituperative,
and o( late Lave publicly charged me
With falsehoods In my atatemgita
that we have genuine testimonial let-
ters.
"It haa been our rule to refrain
(rom publishing the namea either of
laymen or phyalclana who have writ-
ten to us in a complimentary way,
and we have declined to accede to the
demand of attorneys that we turn
theae letters over to them.
"I am asking a few men whom I
deem to be friends to permit me to
reproduce some of their lettera over
their algnaturea In order to refute the
falsehoods.
"We have hundreds qf letters from
physiclana, but I esteem the one that
you wrote to me in 1906 among the
very beat, particularly in view of the
fact that It recognizee the work I have
been trying to do partly through the
little book, 'The Road to Wallville.'
"I do not aell or attempt to sell the
higher thought which Is more impor-
tant than the kind of food, but I have
taken considerable pains to extend to
humanity auch facta aa may have
come to me on thla aubjoct.
"In order that your mind may be ro-
, freahed 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 aa to
why you permitted Ita use in publl-
cation in order to refute falsehoods,
and under that method of treatment I
feel, so far as I know, there would be
no breach of the code of ethlca.
"I trust this winter weather Is find-
Ing you well, contented and enjoying
the fruits that are youra by right
"With all best wishes. I am,"
Youra very truly,

States and many of Cunndu,
All the important express companies
were represented, Including tho Adams,

<'ompanlos Instance the present rale
between I'lulnlleld, N. J., and Boston,
which, under the new rule, will bo f>5
•onts, a saving to the shipper of 33
por cent.
The announcement made at the
close of the conference follows:
"A decision wus reached by the prin-
cipal express companlos which Is of
?nr reaching Importance. Instead of
two companies which may handle an
vApickn pacKage, uiuklng a separate
charge on each line, the charge will
be the same as If ono company had
carrlcd tho package from shipping
point to destination."
In discussing the announcement one
of the conferees said:
"It has always been customary
when express shipments were handled
by two companies between which Joint
rates were not ln effect to make the
charge equal to the sum of the local
charges of each company. Under the |
new plan, the charges between all of-
fices will be the same as If one com-
pany had carried the package from
shipping point to point of destination.
"This will effect a radical reduction
In express charges on all shipments to
or from what Is known aa exclualve
offices, that is to say, points where but
one express company is represented."

Repeal of Law la Asksd
Oklahoma City.—Resolutions hearti-
ly indorsing the movement now under
way to secure the repeal of the law
taxing mortgages were passed by the
board of directors of the Chamber of
Commerce at a meeting Friday after-
noon. Similar resolutions were adopt-
ed at the organiation meeting of the
Commercial Secretaries association of
Oklahoma Tuesday. This body will
draw up a bill on the question to b«
presented to the legislature.
The objection to the law is that It
diverts capital from Oklahoma, which
would be invested here. Also ln most
Instances, the owner of mortgaged
property pays double taxes on the
property because he pays the tax on
he property Itself and because of the
tax on the mortgage he pays higher
interest to secure the money.
A resolution also was passed by the
directors of the Chamber of Commerce
favoring the passage by the nat.onal
congress of the Nelson-Touvelle b'll
which abolishes the free printing by

opes. The present system, It is al-

According to modern analysis, as
well ae to well-founded traditional
knowledge, there Is an amplitude of
potent and strength-giving factors ln
oats, corn, wheat, rice and other va-
rieties of the graminlferoua products
to warrant their use as a mainstay
and staple of food. Bread has been
for centuries recognised in the telling
popular phrase aa "the staff of life,"
and popular phrasee are usually found-
ed on sound experience, the Philadel-
phia Telegraph says. Going back to
the roots of the language, our word
"lord" is derived from the Anglo- Sax-
on worde "loaf-ward—the loaf keeper

mob cried "panem et circenses"—for

on a fare of rice; the aboriginal Amer
leans had malts as their chief food;

this time cereals are to be obtained In
many varied and palatable forms. Aa

be turned to account ln the dally regi-

that Immediately this la done the new

in visw of the two-fold fact that the
manufacturers of cereals have con-
