This work can, only be carried on in a properly equipped laboratory. An appropriation of at least $1500 a year to maintain the laboratory was recommended. The ' members i of the board felicitated themselves and the people of the state upon having se cured the services of Professor Emlle F. Pernot In this connection. The activity, effectif eness and plans er Dr. white. th state health officer, were unqualifiedly approved ana in dorsed. , , - - j ;..

It was drafted by Dr. G J. Smith of Pendleton; Its adoption moved by Dc E. Barton Pickle of Medford and seconded by Dr. Kinney of Astoria. "It launches us into a right," saia ur.

They were shown about , the building and grounds by Pr CUtnants, the superintendent The rooms are light and airy and the ceilings are high; the tuberculosis open air pavilion is a model; the view from the building over the broad valley is magnificent.

The model dairy barn at the state asylum was visited and the board ap proved the plan of the , building, its modern equipment and cleanliness.

U, We brought to court analytical chemists from New York, Chicago ; and Mishawaka, Ind, who swore to the analysis of GrapcrNuts and that part of the starchy part of the wheat and barley had been trans- forrned mto sugar, me kmd human body by digesting starch (the? large part. of food). 1 . v ' ; Some of the state chemists brought on by the "weekh' said.Grape r Nuts could not be called aredigestecr food because not all.of.it.--was digested outside the, bodyi - , . w, ', The other" chemists said anjr food which had been partly or half digested outside the bodywas commonly known as "predigested." ' Splitting hairs about the meaning of a word. . ' ' . It is sufficient that if only one-hal of the food is "predigested h ' : is easier on weaknened stomach and bowels than food in which no part is predigested. 5; , , t . 4 ' ; To. show the facts we Introduce Dr. Thos.

Post, has made a lifetime study of food, food digestion and effects", and the conclusions are indorsed by many of the best medical authori ties of the day. , , . Is it possible that we are at fault for suggesting, as a fatherland s, mother might, to one of the family who announced a pain in the side: v "Stop using the food, greasy meats, gravies, mince pie, cheese,, too 'much rstarchy food, etc., etc., which has not b;een digested, then when again ready for food use Grape-Nuts because it is easy of digestion?" A am Or Should the child be at once carted, off sto 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 skillful physician when a person' is in the' awful throes of acute appendicitis, but "an ounce of i prevention is worth a pound of cure." , v , N Just plain old common sense is helpful even nowadays. : This trial demonstrated Grape-Nuts food is pure beyond question. t is1 partly predigested. . - ' ( , -' " .
