WASHINGTON. Feb. 24. Over the sig nature of Samuel Gompers, an editorial in the American Federationlst- for this month attacks the recent decision of the Supreme Court of the United States in the case of Loewe & Co., popularly known as the "Hat" case, which Is de clared to be "the most drastic and most far-reaching decision which was ever handed down and as affecting directly all labor, and hence the whole people." The editorial begins with the statement that "labor organizations must not be outlawed." and then proceeds at great length to review the court's decision point by point with a view to showing that the court erred. It is noticeable that Build What You Build, Well. Build your body cell by cell, WELL. Use properly selected FOOD. That is the material, and, as the builder of a building se lects the best brick and mortar, so you should select the very best material the world affords from which to build your body. 9 . Nowadays we have that material right at hand chosen by an expert. food is made from the certain Selected parts of Wheat and Bar ley which supply the Phosphate of Potash that assimilates with Albumen and makes the soft gray matter in the nerve cells and brain to perfectly rebuild and sustain the delicate nervous sys tem upon which the whole structure depends, and the food is so prepared in manufacture that babe or athlete can digest it. "There's a Reason" and a profound one for GRAPE-NUTS the current issue of the Federationlst omits the usual "We do not patronize Hst," but instead a paragraph at the end of this editorial declares: "It should be bornein mind there is no law, aye, not even a court decision, compelling union men and the friends of labor to buy" naming the particular ar ticles which form the basis of the Su preme Court decision.
