CRESCENT MFG. CO, SEATTLE CRATER LAKE HIGHWAY TO BE AVOXDER IV ITS WAY. Expert Lent by Government to Aid Med ford Enterprise Here to Attend Convention. Benjamin E. Heldel, connected with the office of the Public Roads of the United States Department of Agricul ture, was in Portland yesterday to at tend the Oregon Good Roads conven tion. Mr. Heidel was sent to the Medford people by the Government to take charge of the work of construct ing the road to Crater Lake. "45 miles of macademlzing through the greatest scenic section In the world." After the Supreme Court held the bonds Issued for the Crater Road were illegal the city of Medford proceeded to obtain $30,000 by private subscrip tion, $5000 of this being raised 4n Portland. The work of constructing this famous highway was started some time ago and 30 men and 12 teams are now engaged In building the road on Pumice Hill, where a 33 per cent grade la being reduced to 4 per cent. "The Crater Lake Road, when fin ished.' said Mr. Heldel. "will exceed in scenic beauty the Yosemite road way or any road that traverses the Alps in Europe. It will be a rock surfaced driveway 18 feet in width, while the main road will have a width of 23 feet. At Pumice Hill, where we are working, there are portions that will cost $14,000 a mile, most of it being rock work. The contract, which was let some time ago, is based upon the unit system and can be continued with the present contractor until It is finished." The work of the Medford people starts on the Rogue River and con tinues 45 miles. At the end of the road the Government Is taking up the work and building 17 miles through the forest reserve. This takes the traveler to the edge of the park, where the Government is engaged in mak ing surveys for a 12-mile drive to the lake. Provision Is also being made for 60 to 80 miles of roadway In the park proper. cellar to garret, flashing his light Intc every corner, he failed to find a prowler BURGLAR ALARMS FALSE Police Busy Investigating Scares but Find No Intruders. Reports of burglars, real or fancied, kept the police department on the Jump early yesterday morning, but though they investigated three alarms, they failed to capture any intruders or find evidence of anything stolen. "A man in our house," came the mes sage to the desk officer at headquarters. irom hi .ast t-igntn street. Instructions were telephoned to Patrolmen LaSalle, White and Young, on adjacent beats, to Investigate. They did so and made a thorough search. A few minutes later came a similar re port from 416 Multnomah street. Sergeant Keller and Patrolman Stahl, Litherland, Gill and Fuller were ordered to that address. Again the search was fruitless. Patrolman Wylia was dispatched to 3S5 Halsey street on a third quest, but though he .went through the house from OWNER OF DOG IS FINED Boy Witness Testifies He Was Bitten and Knocked Down. The youngest witness ever Interrogat ed In Municipal Court, was on the stand yesterday morning, in the person ol William Burdick, 7 years old. who wai called to tell how a bull-dog had at tacked him and torn his ear. His head wrapped in bandages. Will lam took the stand with great self-possession without the formality of bein sworn, and told his story clearly. "'I went into the yard," he said, "ani. the big white dog jumped on me and bit me and knocked me down, and then the lady came out and pulled him off, and that was all there was about it." The defendant was C. W. Demmler, ol 1031 East Caruthers street, charged wiU keeping a vicious dog. The banker, thi butcher and the milkman was cited ai knowing of the dog's viclousness.

Following it, an attack on us appeared in their editorial columns, sneering at the claims we made, particularly regarding Appendicitis. We replied through the regular papers and the "weekly" thought we hit back rather too hard and thereupon sued for libel. The advertisement the "weekly" attacked us about claimed that in many cases of appendicitis an operation could be avoided by discon tinuing indigestible food, washing out the bowels and taking a pre digested food Grape-Nuts. Observe we said MANY cases not all. Wouldn't that knowledge be a comfort to those who fear a sur geon's knife as they fear death? The "weekly" writer said that was a lie. We replied that he was ignorant of the facts. He was put on the stand and compelled to admit he was not a Dr. and had no medical knowledge of appendicitis and never investigated to find out if the testimonial letters of our Co. were genuine. A famous surgeon testified that when an operation was required Crape-Nuts would not obviate it. True. We never claimed that when an operation was required Grape-Nuts would prevent it. The surgeon testified bacteria (germs) helped to bring on an attack and bacteria was grown by undigested food frequently. We claimed and proved by other famous experts that undigested food was largely responsible for appendicitis. We showed by expert testimony that many cases are healed with out a knife, but by stopping the use of food which did not digest, and when food was required again it was helpful to use a predigested food which did not overtax the weakened organs of digestion. When a pain in the right side appears it is not always necessary to be rushed off to a hospital and, at the risk of death, be cut. Plain common sense shows .the better way is to stop food that evi dently has not been digested. t Then, when food is required, use an easily digested food. Grape Nuts or any other if you know it to be predigested (partly digested before taking). , We brought to Court analytical chemists from New York, Chicago and Mishawaka, Ind., who swore to the analysis of Grape-Nuts and that part of the starchy part of the wheat and barley had been trans formed into sugar, the kind of sugar produced in the human body by digesting starch (tha large part of food). Some of the State chemists brought on by the "weekly" said Grape-Nuts could not be called g, "predigested" food because not all of it was digested outside the body. The other chemists said any food which had been partly or half digested outside the body was commonly known as "predigested." Splitting hairs about the meaning of a word. It is sufficient that if only one-half of the food is "predigested," it is easier on weakened stomach and bowels than food in which no part is predigested. To show the facts we introduce Dr. Thos. Darlington, former chief of the N. Y. Board of Health, Dr. Ealph W. Webster, chief of the Chicago Laboratories, and Dr. B. Sachs, N. Y. s. If we were a little severe in our denunciation of a writer, self-confessed ignorant about appendicitis and its cause, it is possible the public will excuse us, in view of the fact that our head, Mr. C. W. Post, has made a lifetime study of food, food digestion and effects, and the conclusions are indorsed by many of the best medical authorities of the day. Is it possible that we are. at fault for suggesting, as a Father and Mother might, to one of the family who announced a pain in the side : "Stop using the food, greasy meats, gravies, mince pie, cheese, too much starchy food, &c, &c, which has not been digested, then when again ready for food use Grape-Nuts because it is easy of digestion? Or should the child be at once carted off to a hospital and cut? We have known of many cases wherein the approaching signs of appendicitis have disappeared by the suggestion being followed. No one better appreciates the value of a skilful physician when a person is in the awful throes of acute appendicitis, but "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." Just plain old common sense is helpful even nowadays. This trial demonstrated Grape-Nuts food is pure beyond question. It is partly predigested. . . ! Appendicitis generally has rise from undigested food. It is not always necessary to operate. It is best to stop all food. When ready to begin feeding use a predigested food. It is palatable and strong in Nourishment. v , - ' It will pay fine returns in health to quit the heavy breakfasts and lunches and use less food but 'select food certainly known to contain the elements nature requires to sustain the body. May we be per mitted to suggest a breakfast of fruit, Grape-Nuts and cream, two soft boiled eggs, and some hot toast and cocoa, milk or Postum. The question of whether Grape-Nuts does or does not contain the elements which nature requires for the nourishment of the brain, also of its purity, will be treated in later newspaper articles. Good food is important and its effect on the body is also important. "There's a Reason Postum Cereal Co., Ltd., Battle Creek, Mich.
