CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, APRIL 26, 1906.
PAID BIG FINE
Givers of Rebates Pay
$60,000 Penalty,
C.,8.&Q. RAILWAY
Is Fined $40,000 and Two bf Its
Officials are Mulcted in $lO,-
000 Each at Chicago.
Chicago, 111. —The Chicago, Bur
lington & Quincy Railroad Co.
and Darius Miller and Claude G.
; Burnham, officials of the road, were
; found guilty Friday in the federal
; court of granting rebates in violation
of law. The railroad corporation was
| fined $40,000 and the two officials $lO,-
| 000 each.
The technical charge against the
j railroad and against Mr. Miller, who
j Is traffic manager and vice president
J of the road, and Mr. Burnham, who is
j foreign manager, was that illegal re
bates had been granted to the United
| States Steel Products Export Co.,
| which is a subsidiary company of the
j United States Steel Corporation, in
shipping tin plate from this country
to Vancouver, B. C.
A few minutes sufficed to procure a
jury. Chester M. Dawes, counsel for
the railroad company, read an extend
ed statement in which he acknowl
edged that the facts as charged in the
indictment were correct. He admitted
| a technical violation of the Elkins act
I and the case then went to the jury,
I District Attorney Morrison making
no recommendation to the court. A
verdict of guilty was returned at once
and Judge Bethea immediately passed
sentence.
The fine was paid at once, the de
fendants going to the office of United
States Marshal Ames, where a check
was made out for the full amount of
j the three fines. Under the law the
j court could have assessed a line of
from SI,OOO to $20,000 under each of
the six counts in the indictment.
RELATIVE TO THE PACKERS' CASE.
President Roosevelt Sends a Message
to Congress.
Washingtoon, I). C. —In a special
message delivered to congress on
Wednesday President Roosevelt de
clares that the result of the recent
trial of the "beef packers" in Chicat?o
was a "miscarriage of justice" and
that the interpretation placed by
Judge Humphrey on the will of con
j gress "is such as to make that will ab
solutely abortive."
1 The message, which is most sensa
! tional in character, is based largely
' on a letter to the president from At
-1 torney General Moody, in which the
attorney general reviews the proceed
ings of the case of the government
against the beef packers. The presi
dent says it is clear that no criticism
attaches to Commissioner Garfield.
He refers sharply, however, to the
decision of Judge Humphrey, saying
that congress could not have foreseen
such a decision and that he can hardly
believe that the ruling of Judgo
j Humphrey will be followed by other
j judges. He declares that such inter
pretation of the law as that placed on
! it by Judge Humphrey "comes meas
; urably near making the law a farce,"
and he recommends that congress pass
a declaratory act stating its real inten
| tion. The president also requests
| congress to confer upon the govern
j ment, by statute, the same right of ap
! peal, in criminal cases, which the de
j fen dan t now enjoys, where the merits
! of the case have not been determined.

Rise Liars,
And Salute Your Queen
Ho, All Ye Faithful Followers of Ananias
GIVE EAR!
A Young Girl said to a Cooking School Teacher in New York: If You make
One Statement as False as That, All You have said about Foods
is Absolutely Unreliable."
This burst of true American girl Indig
nation was caused by the teacher saying
that Qrape-Nuts, the popular pre-digest
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 to have a "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 if 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-whls
kered doctor —the head of the in
stitution —to tell these prevarica
tions (you can 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, we
cannot recommend the use of
Grape-Nuts for it is nothing but
bread with glucose poured over it."
Right then he showed his badge as
a member of the tribe of Ananias.
He may have been a member for
Bome time before, and so he has
caused these "lecturers" to de
scend into the ways of the tribe
wherever they go.
When the young lady in New
York put the "iron on"to this
"teacher" and branded her right
we sent SIO.OO to the girl for her
pluck and bravery.
SECOND PASTURE.
Editors of "Trade" papers known
as grocers' papers.
Remember, we don't put the
brand on all, by any means. Only
those that require it. These mem
bers of the tribe have demanded
that we carry advertising in their
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 si urs on Postum or G rape-
Nuts. When they go far enough
we set our legal force at work and
hale them to the judge to answer.
If the pace has been hot enough to
throw some of these "cattle" over
on their backs, f«et tied and "bel
lowing," do you think we should
be blamed? They gambol around
with tails held high and jump stiff
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 I hem because
they bleat soft and low? Or should
we put the iron on, so that people
wiil know the brand?
Let's keep tliein In this pasture,
anyhow.

THIRD PASTURE.
Now we come to a frisky lot, the
"Labor Union" editors. You know
down in Texas 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 these
editors are "Locoed" from hate of
anyone who will not instantly obey
the "demands" of a labor union,
and it is the universal habit of such
writers togostraightinto 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? (For they are usual
ly irresponsible.)
Keep your eye out for the "Lo
coed" editor.
Now let all these choice specimens
take notice:
We will deposit one thousand or
fifty thousand dollars to be covered by
a like amount from them, or any one of
them, and if there was ever one ounce
of old bread or any other ingredient
different than our selected wheat and
barley with a little salt and yeast used
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 floors.
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-Nuts. 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.
Remember that previous to the barley
having been ground it was 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 grain into a form of
sugar.
Now after we have passed it into
dough and it has been kneaded long
enough, it is moulded by machinery into
loaves about 18 inches long and 5 or 6
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
trays, these trays, in turn, placed on great
steel trucks, and rolled into the second
ary ovens, each perhaps 75 or 80 feet long.
There the food is subjected lo a long low
heat and the starch which has 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 assert. On the con
trary the sugar exudes from the Interior
of each little granule during the process
of manufacture, and reminds one of the
little white particles of sugar that come
out on tho end of a hickory log after
it has bee", sawed off and allowed to
stand for a length of time.
Tills Post Sugar Is the most digestible
lood known for human use. It Is so per

this milk charged with Post Sugar is ted

factory results, for the baby"'has food
that it can digest quickly go off
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 the
milk a little longer and become mushy,
whereupon a little of the food can be fed
in addition to the milk containing the
washed off sugar.
It is by no means manufactured for a
baby food, but these facts are ptated as
an illustration of a perfectly digestible
food.
It furnishes the energy and strength
for the great athletes. It is in common
use by physicians in their own families
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 'Grape-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 solubll
ity of the preparation, no less than one
half of it being soluble in cold water.
The soluble part contains chielly dextrin
and no starch. In appearance 'Grape-
N\its' resembles fried bread-crumb 3. The
grains are brown and crisp, with a pleas
ant taste not unlike slightly burnt malt.
According to our analysis the following
is the composition of 'Grape-Nuts:'
Moisture, 6.02 per cent; mineral matter,
2.01 per cent; fat, 1.60 per cent; protelds,
15.00 per cent; soluble carbohydrates,
etc., 49.40 per cent; and unaltered car
bohydrates (insoluble), 25.97 per cent.
Thefeatures worthyof notein this analy
sis are the excellent proportion of pro
teid, mineral matters, and soluble car
bohydates per cent. The mineral matter
was rich in phosphoric acid. 'Grape-
Nuts' is described as a brain and nerve
food, whatever that may be. Our analy
sis, at any rate, shows that it is a nutri
tive of a high order, since it contains tne
constituents of a complete food in very
satisfactory and rich proportion and in
an easily assimilable state."
An analysis made by the Canadian
Government some time ago shows that
Grape-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 analyzed.
The analysis is familiar to practically
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 of Ananias.
When you hear a cooking school 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, send us the name and address,
also name of two or three witnesses, and
if the evidence is clear enough to get a
judgment we will right that wrong
quickly.
Our business has 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 is 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 and de
vice in order that they may understand
how pure and clean and. wholesome
Grape-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 ancient tribe of Ananias that
they may follow their calling in other
lines, but when they put forth their lies
aboat Grape-Nuts and Postum, we pro
pose to give them an opportunity to an
swer to the proper authorities.
The New York girl wisely said that
if a person would lie about one item, It
brands the whole discourse as absolutely
unreliable.
