18 BOYCOTT LEGAL?
Waiters' Alliance Case Pre
sented to Judge Sears.
HOW FAR MAY PERSUASION GO?
One Side Says Parade of Banners Be
i fore a Plane In Illegal Other
Says Xot, If 'o Violence Is
Employed.
In arguing the motion to dissolve the in
junction in the suit of A- J. Hall, pro
line tor or the Palace Restaurant, against
the Waiters' Alliance, M. F. PJke and
ftthers, Henry E. McGinn, attorney for
the defense, yesterday contended that the
Injunction is too freely used. He assert
ed that where the men are doing no act
of violence, the present tendency of the
courts is to refuse to issue any Injunction.
The case was assigned to Judge Sears for
hearing.
The preliminary Injunction order, -which
was Issued by Judge Frazcr, restrains the
"Walters' Alliance from distributing cir
culars. Interfering with Hall's employes
and customers, and parading in front of
the restaurant with a banner. (Mr. Mc
Ginn argued that there had to be. actual
violence to entitle persons to an injunc
tion. He read decisions' bearing upon the
Question. He said: "In a case in 32Uh
California reports, similar to this, it was
alleged that the defendants conspired to
gether to prevent workmen from remain
ing with the plaintiff, and caused circulars
to be distributed which injured his busi
ness. This case was decided by the Su
preme Court in 1S99, which held that the
complaint must fail." The attorney laid
particular stress on the case of Sherry
vs. Perry, tried In Massachusetts, where
it was held that banners could be carried
in front of a place boycotted. He read the
decision of Chief Justice Field, who of
fered a dissenting opinion. The attorney
also read the opinion of Chief Justice
Holmes in the same case, as follows:
If It be true that worlclngmen may combine,
Rith a view, among other things, to setting as
much as they can for their labor. Just as
capital may combine with a view of getting
the greatest possible return. It must be true
that when combined they have the same llB
crty that combined capital has to tupport their
Interests by argument, persuasion, and the be
stowal or refusal of those advantages which
the-y otherwise lawfully control. I earn remem
ber when many people thought that, apart from
violence or breach of contract, strikes wcro
wicked, as organized refusals to work. I .uj
pose that Intelligent economists and legisla
tors have given up that notion today. I feel
pretty confident that they equally will aban-.
don the idea that an organized refusal by
workmen of social intercourse with a man
who shall enter their antagonist's employ
Is wrong, if It is disassociated from
any threat of violence, and Is made for
the sole object of prevailing, it possible,
in a contest with their employer about the
rate of wages. The fact that the immediate
object of the act by which the benefit to them
selves is to be gained Is to Injure their antag
onist does not necessarily make It unlawful,
any more than when a great house lowers the
price of certain goods for the purpose and with
the effect of driving a smaller antagonist from
business. Indee-d, the question seems to have
been settled as long ago as 1S42 by the good
Eense of Chlof Justice Shaw.
Mr. McGinn said:
"I understand that during the recent
labor troubles in San Francisco the
Holmes decision was followed."
Mr. McGinn also read the decision of
the Oregon Supreme Court in the case of
Longshore Printing Company vs. Howell,
in which the court held:
A court of equity will not hesitate to lssuo
an injunction for the protection of property
rights against irreparable damage by wrong
doers; yet It Is always a delicate step to take,
and the court ought to be fully satisfied that
some right Is about to be destroyed or Irrep
arably and lastingly injured, and that the dan
ger is pressing and imminent.
Allegations by plaintiff that the members of a
certain trades union conspired to compel him
to submit to the union's dictation upon pain of
being boycotted in business; that the union's
executive committee entered his premises with
out license and ordered his employes to strike,
and that subsequently the union ordered an
other strike, both which orders were obeyed;
that the defendant induced the City Council to
reject plaintiff's bid for city printing, though
his bid was the lowest made, and other acts
not necessary to here set out, do not show
such a continual and malicious persecution of
Plaintiff or Interference with his business as
to justify the issuing of an Injunction.
Henry. St. Rayner, counsel for Hall, took
up the entire afternoon presenting his side
of the case. He read from a great many
authorities and endeavored to show that
a number of the decisions relied upon by
Mr. McGinn were cases in which injunc
tions had been issued. The attorney
urged that injunction' is the only remedy,
where- the acts and Injury are continuous,
as an adequate remedy could not be given
in an action at law. He said the courts
have decided against the carrying of ban
ners, the posting of placards, or pickets,
intercepting employes and trying to per
suade them to quit their employment. He
referred to a decision where the court had
enjoined placards, which mere'y requested
lastcrs to keep away from a certain place,
and the banners and placards in this case
were very much worse. One of them,
counsel said, reads: "ThLs house has been
declared unfair by the Walters' Alliance;
please do not patronize this place, but go
to a union restaurant." '
Mr. St Rayner gave the inscription on
the banner, which was even stronger than
this, and said the object was to coerce
Hall and injure his business, and he was
entitled to an Injunction. The courts can
prevent the circulation of a libel. The act
of displaying banners and devices as
means of threats or intimidation was un
lawful, and hurtful to, plaintiff. Counsel
said it was illegal at common law and
ty statute, namely sections 1S93, 174S and
1S97. (These are criminal statutes.)
Section 1803 was read, as follows:
If any person shall by force, threats or in
timidation, prevent or endeavor to prevent any
person employed by another from continuing
or performing his work, or from accepting any
new work or employment, or If any person
shall circulate any false written or printed
matter, or to be concerned in the circulation
of any such matter or induce others not to
buy from or sell to. or have dealings with any
person, for the purpose or with the intent to
prevent such person from employing any per
son, or to force or compel him to employ or
discharge from his employment any one, or to
alter his mode of carrying on his business, or
to limit or increase the number of his cm
X'loyes or the rate of wages or time of service.
A penalty of one to six months' impris
onment, or a fine of ?10 to ?2CX is provided
for violation of this law.
Judge Sears flight it not be said 'that
the statute provides a remedy?
Mr. St. Rayner answered that it did, but
held that it also furnished ground for
an injunction. He said: "It is the ex
traordinary thing a court of equity will
restrain that is, where a criminal act is
Injuring a person's business."
As a reason for not desiring to inx'oke
the aid of the criminal law, counsel quoted
Judge Story, in a case when he said: "He
will immediately give ball, will not be
tried for a month, and will return to the
man's door and continue the process."
The Longshore-Howell decision. It was
urged, docs not apply to the present con
troversy. The Longshore case related to
past acts, things that had all been done,
and the courts will not Issue an injunc
tion as to acts that are past.
The other Oregon statutes quoted by the
attorney are as follows:
If any person shall willfully and wrongfully
commit any act which grossly Injures the per
son or property of another, etc
If any person, either verbally or by any
written or printed communication, eusII threat
en any injury to the person or property of an
other, etc.
Mr. St. Rayner went over a great deal
more ground, and will finish by submitting
authorities to the court.
A DAD DILEMMA TO SOLVE.
Road SnpcrvlKors' Blutrlcts Will
Probably Be Rained to Thirteen.
The County Commissioners are still In
a quandary concerning the mode of pro
cedure to adopt in the matter of the elec
tion of road supervisors under the new
law, which provides that "each road dis
trict shall be wholly within one election
precinct." There are at present but 11
road supervisors, and this would make
only 11 voting places throughout the
county outside of the city limits, as the
Australian ballot law provides that there
shall be only one polling place in each
election precinct. Formerly there have
been 26 polling places and election, pre
cincts in the body of the county, and, if
there are only 11 next June, many voters
will have to travel long distances to 'vote.
In the country precincts there were about
3000 votes cast at the last election, of
which about 1400 were Republican votes.
An easy way out of the dilemma would
be to Increase the number of road super
visors to 2C, and there appears "to be no
other solution of the problem.
But 26 road supervisors are not re
quired. The wages of a road supervisor
are $2 50 per day for every day he works,
and every road supervisor manages to get
in all of the working days in the year,
and 26 would probably be able to do tfcls
just as well as 1L This would increase the
expense for road supervisors very consid
erably, or about $11,625, and the super
visors would have a very easy time.
County Commissioner Showers, speaking
on the subject, said: "It is bad every
way you take 1L We are up against a
brick wall, but we are trying to figure'
It out." It Is understood that the present
plan is to map out 13 election precincts
in the county, and increase the number
of road supervisors accordingly. A well
known attorney said: "A matter of con
venience won't justify setting aside a
law; it must be against public policy, or
unconstitutional."
It is state that the County Commis
sioners will consult with District Attorney
Chamberlain.

IF YOU WAKT TO KNOW
The latest thing in repartee or slang.
Jack Symonds will give it to you this
week at The Fredericksburg. He can get
of almost as many good, fresh and origi
nal ideas as JImmie Montague, and also
a great many that JImmie would not be
guilty of. Jack Symonds arrived here on
the Indrapura from a seven months' tour
of Japan. He found many funny things
there, from an American standpoint, and
he is exploiting some of them here. He is
bright and original, and his auditors have
the benefit of it- He will be here only
this week. You should not miss him.
Rlalto, the celebrated novelty dancer, has
also been secured by The Fredericksburg

HONOR FOR A SOLDIER
FRANCE CONFERS A MEDAL FOR
VALOR OX PORTLAND CITIZEN.
Fonglit In the Algerian Campaign
N'cnrly Half a Century Aro, and
Saved a Comrade's Life.
After nearly half a century a soldier of
France In the Algerian campaign of the
late 50s, who has been a resident of
Portland since 1573, has been rewarded
for distinguished service and exception
al bravery in defending a wounded com
rade against a horde of savage Arabs,
thereby saving the man's life
The deed of valor was performed In
lSoi, when the French were engaged in
subduing the Kabily country, and but re
cently M. Scheydecker, the recipient of
the honor, has had conferred upon him
the Medallle Coloniale by the French
Government. The decoration carries with
it a pension if Mr. Scheydecker lived in
France, but he long ago renounced his
allegiance to the tri-color, and is now a
citizen of the United States, and prefers
to stay here and forfeit the pension.
In the year 1S57 France seat 40.000 men

the Atlas Mountains, to cbnquer the no-

madlc Arabs and add the country to the
French colonial possessions In Africa.
Scheydecker, then a young man, who
had already proven himself a good soldier,
was with the Zouaves, in which he had
enlisted in 1S49. With a comrade he was
on an outpost in advance of the main
body. The country was under cultivation,
and each little garden was surrounded by
a bamboo hedge, which furnished an ex
cellent screen for the Arabs.
One of their sharpshooters potted Schey
decker's companion In the knee. Then
there suddenly appeared from their hid
ing places a score of Arabs, armed with
spears and rifles. Intent upon killing the
wounded man. Sche'ydecker defended the
helpless soldier valiantly, receiving spear
thrusts and several bullet wounds, which
fortunately were not sufficiently serious
to disable him. The Captain qf the ccra
pany to which the men belonged sent a
squad of soldiers to the rescue, and they
succeeded in beating the assaulting party
off and carrying the wounded men back
to the line.
To this day Mr. Scheydecker bears
marks of wounds received In the fray.
In 185S his term of enlistment expired, and
he returned to Paris, and thence to his
native Alsace, where ha was engaged
as a landscape architect until the out
break of the Franco-German War. He
served until the close of hostilities. When
Bismarck wrested Alsace and Lorraine
from France, Scheydecker left his home
and went to Paris, rather than live under
German rule.
In 1S7S Oregon was represented at the
World's Fair, held in Paris-, by a compre
hensive exhibit of the resources of the
state. Mr. Scheydecker was attracted by
the amazing array of products, made in
quiries as to the country, and in Feb
ruary, 1S79, came to Portland, and has
lived here continuously ever since. The
French Government, through its succes
sive Ministers of War, has endeavored
to confer upon all soldiers of the Algerian
campaigns, who deserve the honor, the
colonial medal. Mr. Scheydecker's resi
dence was but recently learned by tne
authorities, which, probably accounts for
the retarded reward.
The medal is suspended from a tri-color

BONDED FOR $100,000.
Mnprxioliu. Group ol! Mine Taken Over
for Pittsburg CapitnllKts.
The Magnolia group of gold mines In
the Granite District in Eastern Oregon has
been bonded for $100,000 by L. Y. Keady,
of this city, who is acting for Pittsburg
capitalists. The group Includes nine
claims, and is in the center of a district
that has a large number of profitable prop
erties. The mines are located about four and
one-half miles from Granite, and have
been worked for some time. The expert
who examined the property reported that
there was ore in sight worth $250,000- The
ore is partly 'free milling, a certain per
centage requiring extraction by the con-
l centratlng process. The mine Is already

equipped with a 10-stamp mill, concen
trators and other machinery, and active
operations will be begun within CO days.
Mr. Keady has also purchased the New
York group. In the Red Boy District,
from J. C. Martin and W. W. Rlordan, for
$5000. These mines were also purchased
for Pittsburg Investors. Mr. Keady pre
dicts considerable activity In Eastern Ore
gon mining districts during the coming
year. "Eastern capitalists are seeking in
formation," he said yesterday, "and will
invest heavily In any good properties that
are offered. The mining section of East
ern Oregon will be one of the richest fields
in the world, when development discloses
the wonderful mineral resources of the
territory."
A RAILROAD TO BOHEMIA.
Men rm the Shipment of Much Ore to
Proposed Smelter at Portland.
L H. Bingham, of this city, who is In
terested extensively In the Bohemia quartz
mines, has just returned from there, af
ter spending several days among the
camps. He predicts lively times in that
portion of Lane County on the completion
of the railroad from Cottage Grove.
Right-of-way men are now within six
miles of Champion Basin, the proposed
terminus, he said, and as soon, as tne
various deals are closed ho expects grad
ing to begin. Some little delay Is antici
pated in getting through a portion of the
forest reserve, and an attempt is being
made to have three townships restored
to the public on account of their value
in minerals.
The Muslck, Star and Helena mines, Mr.
Bingham says, arc to be tapped by a
series of long tunnels from Champion
Basin. The. one connecting with the
Helena Is to be 2500 feet long and through
thl3 ore Is to be run for shipment to the
proposed smelter at Portland. The. build
ing of this 37 miles of railroad from Cot
tage Grove to the mines will therefore
hasten the erection, of a smelter, as the
ore from the Helena mine is now hauled
by wagon to Cottage Grove and shipped
In carload lots to Omaha, going through
this city.
A large amount of base ore that can
not be treated by the stamps exists in the
Bohemia district, Mr. Bingham says, and
a smelter will be needed at Portland to
treat it
The proposed railroad from Cottage
Grove will pass through a well-settled
country for the first 20 miles, and. after
that, through heavy timber, which will
be thus rendered available, for market.
A light, uniform grade has been found by
the surveyors up Row River, Frank
Brass and Champion Creeks. A new tele
phone line is to be in operation between
Cottage Grove and Champion Basin by De
cember 15. '
The season has thus far been very mild
In that vicinity, no snow having yet fallen
near the mines, and the stage road is in
very fair condition. Provisions for the
Winter have already been hauled into
camp. The 10-stamp mill on the Helena
mine will be worked day and night, all
through the year.
RAILROAD MEN PLEASED.
Convinced That Oregon Hn Greatest
Scenery In the "World. t '
The party of railroad men representing
the "Vanderbilt lines In the East that has
been inspecting the Pacific Coast with an
eye to business left Oregon soil Sunday
morning. After leaving Portland early
last week they did the Puget Sound cities
on this side of the border, being most
cordially received and entertained by the
inhabitants. Tuesday they were In Ta
comn, Wednesday In Seattle. Thursday
In Spokane, and Friday morning In Port
land again for two hours. Then they left
on the limited train over the O. R. & N.
for the East. Passenger Agent Sea
christ accompanied them on the swing
around the circle. Just reaching home
last night after escorting the Easterners
to the state line at Snake River.
The party was composed of W. B. Jer
ome, general agent ofthc New York Cen
tral lines at Chicago; M. C. Roach, gen
eral Eastern passenger agent of the New
York Central Railroad at New York; Jo
seph L. White, general agent of the
Boston & Albany, at Boston; H. J. Rheln,
general Eastern passenger agent of the
Lake Shore, at Buffalo; L. D. Heusner,
general Western passenger agent of the
Michigan Central at Chicago. They had
come down the Columbia before It was
light, so they had no view of the scenery
then. But In returning up the river on
their way East they went quite into rap
tures over the scenery of the Columbia
Gorge. They had been looking for strik
ing scenes all along the Coast, and they
were free to admit that this was a coun
try of superior natural attractions, but
after all this experience they were not
prepared for the wealth of scenic grandeur
that broke upon their vision as the train
wheeled through the cleft that lets the
mighty river go to the sea. Language
failed these men, passenger agents though
they were, and they 6imply gazed with
open mouths and unwinking eyes at the
varied glories spread In such splendid con
fusion before them. The weather was fine,
and Columbia River scenery never showed
itself to better advantage. They voted
this the finest scenery in the world.
Railroad Note.
General Freight and Passenger Agent
Miller, of the Southern Pacific, Is absent
at Puget Sound for a day or two.
Manager Koehler and Superintendent
Fields, of the Southern Pacific, will leave
this morning for a tour over the Oregon
lines.
People of Wallowa County, having
wearied of relying on promises for the
extension of steam railroads In that sec
tion, have organized a project for build
ing a trolley line between Elgin and En

In progress.
H. W. Cannon, president of the Chase
National Bank, of New York, and a di
rector in the Great Northern and O. R &
N. Companies, arrived In Portland over
the Northern Pacific Sunday evening, and
went out the same evening over the O.
R. & N. for the East. He had been spend
ing a week in the State of Washington.
HE HAD BIRDS ON HAND.
Denier Covnch Arretted With Many
Pheasants in PoensIon.
Game Warden Qulmby insists upon a
strict regard for the letter and spirit of
the game law, and to that end caused
the arrest of G. Covach yesterday for
having upland birds in his possession, out
of season. He seized 91 birds in all, and
had them placed in cold storage pending
the result of the prosecution. There are
i native pheasants, 20 Chinese pheasants,
20 quail and eight blue grouse In the col
lection. The privilege of having these birds on
hand expired Saturday night at 12 o'clock.
Mr. Qulmby avers, and he had notified all
dealers last week that the law would be
strictly enforced. He visited all the
poultry dealers yesterday and found birds
only at Covach's place This dealer
thought there should be several days of
grace; but as all the other dealers had
told out, even at a sacrifice, in order to
comply with the law, Mr. Qulmby could
not see his way clear toward any other
course. The defendant was placed under
S2o0 bonds, and Is to be arraigned today
in the Municipal Court. The penalty in
such cases ranges from a fine of $25 to $200.

LIQUOR SOLD' TO BOYS
JTUVEXILE QUARTET THAT FOUND
- IT EASY TO GET DRUNK.
BHt Now the Police Have Taken a
Hand and Saloons "Will Have
to Be More Careful.
Carl Fisher, the S-year-old boy, who
was seriously 111 as the result of taking
several drinks of whisky obtained from a
saloon on Union avenue, south of Russell
street, a few days ago. is at the home of
his parents. 743 East Ninth street. North.
He is the son of Henry Fisher, who is
absent from the city. The little fellow
was seen yesterday. He has entirely re
covered from the effects of his spree. The
boy said there were four in the party
his brother, Raymond, Harold Stark and
Dicky Follett and that they had no dif
ficulty In obtaining the liquor. Carl
bought it in a bottle. Dicky Follett, one
of the party, lives a short distance from
the home of the Fisher boy. Just' at
present he is taking an enforced, vacation
from school, having been suspended for
truancy. He was seen yesterday at his
playhouse, which he has just finished.
He does not appear to be a bad boy. In
speaking of the affair he said that the
Stark boy said that whisky was like
candy, and they concluded that they
would try some. Dicky said that he did
not get any of the whisky, but that Carl
and Harold took the bottle and helped
themselves. Dicky said they got the
whisky in a saloon on Union avenue, and
that the bartender very promptly gave
them what they asked for.
Police Commissioner Rankin, who dis
covered the condition of the Fisher boy
and sent him to the police station, said
yesterday the Chief of Police had Issued
strict orders to all the patrolmen that no
liquor shall be sold to any one under 20
years of age, even if-provided with an
order from the parent!. There will, he
said, be no exception made. At most of
the saloons, especially In the outskirts,
children with orders from their parents
have been sold liquor. The order was is
sued after the Fisher boy came near dy
ing, and is being generally obeyed. The
Police Commissioners commend the order
and want It strictly enforced.

From Mlltvnnkle to County Line.
Richard Scott has offered to donate a
strip off his land for the widening of Mll
waukle road from (Milwaukie to the Mult
nomah County line. The owners of prop
erty on the other side of the road are
willing that the road should be widened,
and will give a strip on that side. This
will make 10 feet on each side, and make
an SO-foot roadway. If the boulevard
commission finds It cannot get through
the golf links to Milwaukie, they may
swing the route of the boulevard around
toward the eastward and make connec
tion with the Milwaukie road at the
Clackamas County line.
The golf people, it .Is stated, have now
secured the Lambert tract. The boulevard
commissioners are still hopeful that they
may consent to have the boulevard ex
tended through their ground to Milwaukie.

CREAMERIES ON INCREASE.
Four New Factories, a Total of 107,
iu Oregon. t
Creameries are constantly increasing In
number in Oregon, according to Dairy and
Food Commissioner Bailey, who furnished
stencil plates to four new ones last week.
"We now have 107 creameries in the state
making butter by the separator process,"
Mr. Bailey said yesterday, ''and they are
all doing well. The cream Is obtained
from the adjacent skimming stations,
where the farmers are paid 22tj cents a
pound for their butter fat, so the pro
ducers also are doing fairly well. The
skimmed milk is taken back to the farm
on the return trip of. the wagons, and
there utilized as the owner sees fit.
"The four last creameries are located at
Salem, Corvallls. Ferrydale and Ballston.
The companies do not have to procure any
license, but simply apply for a stencil
plate, upon which the words "Oregon
creamery butter; full weight,' are cut.
with the name of the new creamery. 'Full
weight means that the roll or package
shall contain 32 or 16 ounces of butter,
as the case may be."
Mr. Bailey thinks he has secured a bet
ter quality of milk for Portland con
sumers by his system of surveillance. His
deputy has been purchasing milk from
the wagons indiscriminately for the pur
pose of testing the fluid as to Its purity,
and this has put milkmen on their guard.
He feel3 assured that the milk deliv
ered to Portland famines Is fully 25 per
cent richer than that served before the
law authorized him to keep an eye on the
milkmen.
"Portland people do not want watered
milk," Mr. Bailey said, "and they prefer
to pay more for the pure article. I there
fore advise the milk producers to deliver
a first-class article and charge a fair price
for it. Consumers are more particular
and at the same time more liberal in
paying for an article than they used to
be, and they would not now return to
watered milk if they had the opportunity,
no more than they would take to drink
ing Willamette River water If it was
offered cheaper than Bull Run. The time
was when we would gulp dow.n mud and
microbes or whatever the Willamette
River offered, but we expected nothing
better then," he said. "Now we know
what good water and good milk are and
the venders of the Inferior article will
have a hard time in this city In the
future."

Weary Willie Goes to .In II.
"With his clothing In tatters, James An
derson, a ppecles of "Weary Willie, was
before Municipal Judge Cameron yester
day, charged with drunkenness. "I'm
guilty. Your Honor. Let me go this time
and I'll not come back in a hurry," An
derson whined.
"You have told me that story too
often." remarked the Judge.
Then Jailer Roberts said: "TI1I3 man Is
no good for anything, except getting
drunk. We would not trust him to sweep
out a room. All he cares for in life Is
a place to sleep, two meate a day, and
booze."
"Well, we are to deal more sternly with
cases similar to this- In the near future.
We will have an ordinance framed to

FOOD FACTS.
Hovp Troperlj- to Feed the Ilody.
Physicians nowadays realize how neces
sary It Is that the food contain the
right elements that the body requires to
rebuild Itself, and replace the loss that
occurs each day from activity and en
ergy. If one lifts an arm that means the
expenditure of a small amount of energy,
and the burning up, so to speak, of cer
tain deposits from the food. This means
a certain loss, and this loss must be
made up each day from food. If the food
does not contain the things required, na
ture hoists a flag of distress: aches, alls,
sickness of some sort sets In. meaning
that there Is something lacking In the
food.
The reason physicians so generally ad
vise the use of Grape-Nuts Breakfast
Food Is that they know from what It Is
made and what it contains. The medi
cal journals In various parts of the world
have given the analysis. The famous
London Lancet went so far as to make
a very careful analysis by Its own chem
ist. Its remarks are worth repeating.
"The preparatory process undoubtedly
converts the food constituents loto a
much more digestible condition than In
the raw cereals. This Is evident from the
remarkable solubility of the preparation,
no less than one-half of It being soluble
In water. The soluble portion contains
chiefly dextrin and no starch. Accord
ing to our analysis the following Is- the
proportion:
Moisture 6.02 per cent
Mineral matter 2.01 per cent
Fat 1-60 per cent
Froteids 15.00 per cent
Soluble Carbohydrates 49.40 per cent
Unaltered carbohydrates 25.97 per cent
"The features worthy of note In this
analysis are the excellent proportion of
protelds and mineral matter, and soluble
carbohydrates.
"The mineral matter Is rich phosphoric
acid. Our analysis shows that it la a nu
tritive of Tilgh order, since it contains the
constituents of a complete food in the
right proportions, and In an easily assim
ilable state."
Notice the carbohydrate total is about
75 per cent. These produce energy and
warmth. The phosphoric acid in the min
eral matter comes, as do all of the other
Ingredients, from the field grain, not one
particle being introduced as a drug.
Physicians know that the soft matter
in the brain and nerve centers through
out the body are made from the ele
ments of albumen acted upon by phos
phate of potash. Albumen Is a very com
mon article In almost every food, but
phosphate of potash does not exist In all
foods, nor Is It found In easily digestible
foim always. However, In Grape-Nuts
these elements exist, and are presented to
the body In an easily digestible form, and
explain the reason why users feel the
new spring of life, the brain and nerve
power Increase, after they have been us
ing Grape-Nuts for a time. There Is a
reason for It. The doctors know IL there
! fore they prescribe Grape-Nuts.
