The Cheese. "The late General Thomas H. Ruger," says a Stamford man, "was, like many army offieers, an authority on good eooking, but he detested rank, high cheeses. At a dinner he said that a very rank cheese was once left at his headquarters, to be called for, and after it had remained unclaimed two days he posted up this notice: " 'If the cheese sent here addressed ] to Private Jones is not called for in | two days it will be shot.'

V THE "YELL-OH" MAN And One of His Ways. To call a man a liar seems rude, so I we will let the reader select his own i term. Some time ago the Manager of j "Collier's Weekly" got very cross ! with us because we would not con- : tinue to advertise in his paper. We have occasionally been at- j tacked by editors who have tried to j force us to advertise in their papers at their own prices, and, on their own conditions, failing in which we were to be attacked through their editorial columns. The reader can fit a name to that tribe. We had understood that the editor of "Collier's" was a wild cat of the Sinclair "jungle bungle" type, a per- j son with curdled gray matter, but it j eatms strange that the owners would | descend to using their editorial columns, yellow as they are, for such ! rank out and out falsehoods as ap- i pear in their issue of July 27th, 1 where the editor goes out of his way j to attack us, and the reason will ap- J pear tolerably clear to any reader who understands the venom behind it. ] We quote in part as follows:? ; "One widely circulated paragraph I labers to induce the impression that i ' Grape-Nuts will obviate the necessity j 1 of an operation in appendicitis. This 1 is lying, and, potentially, deadly ly- 1 ing. Similarly, Postum continually j makes reference to the endorsements , of a 'distinguished physician' or 'a | prominent health official,' persons as mythical, doubtless, as they are mys- I terious." We do not hesitate to reproduce ' these mendacious falsehoods in order that It may be made clear to the pub- j lie what the facts are, and to nail the j liar up so that people may have a look ; at him. If this poor clown knew | what produced appendicitis, he might i | nave some Kiiowieuge ui wuy ue use | < of Grape-Nuts would prevent it. Let j; It be understood that appendicitis ; ' results from long continued disturb- : ance in the intestines, caused primar- j ily by undigested food, and chiefly by j, undigested starchy food, such as I: white bread, potatoes, rice, partly ! | cooked cereals, and such. These lie ; in the warmth and moisture of the ; I bowels in an undigested state, and j : decay, generating gases, and irritat- ' ing the mucous surfaces until, under j J such conditions, the lower part of the ; colon and the appendix become in- j j volved. Disease sets up, and fre- i j quently, of a form known as appendi- ! citis. 11 Now then, Grape-Nuts food was : I made by Mr. 0. W. Post, after he had I 1 an attack of appendicitis, and re- i quired some food in which the starch j was predlgested. No such food ex- | isted; from his knowledge of dietetics ! he perfected the food; made it pri- { marilv for his own use. and after- ! wards introduced it to the public. In this food the starch is transformed j by moisture and long-time cooking | into a form of sugar, which is easily j digested and doas not decay in the , intestines. It is a practical certainty that when a man has approaching i symptoms of appendicitis, the attack 1 can be avoided by discontinuing all ! food except Grape-Nuts, and by prop- ! erly washing out the intestines. J Most physicians are now acquainted j with the facts, and will verify the ; statement. Of course, this is all news, and should be an education to >.he person who writes the editorials for "ColMer's," and who should take at least troininc hofnrr* H n jwajiv ?.* Ui?iiUh ftSWlVT 4^ C4 A Lun\.d to write for the public. Now as to the references to "a dis> tinguished physician" or "a prominent health official" being "mythical persons." We are here to wager "Collier's Weekly," or any other skeptic or liar, any amount of money they care to name, and which they will cover, that wa will produce proof to any Board of Investigators that we have never yet published an advertisement announcing the opinion of a prominent physician or health official on Postum or Grape-Nuts, when we did net have the actual letter in our possession. It can be nn n'lv im/liirotnr.rl t h ft t mnnv llPfim inent physicians dislike to have their j lames made public in reference to : my article whatsoever; they have their own reasons, and we respect those reasons, but we never make mention of endorsements unless we have the actual endorsement, and that statement we will back with any amount of money called for. When a journal wilfully prostitutes its columns, to try and harm a reputable manufacturer in an effort to force him to advertise, it is time the public knew the facts. The owner or editor of Collier's weekly can- j not force money from us by such J methods. POSTUM CEREAL CO., Ltd. JAPANESE ATTACKED B'I imicoye Canadians Oppose the Inflow of Alien Asiatics. CONSUL COMPLAINS TO TOKI9 Apprehension in London Lest International Complications Result?Chinese Buy Arras aiitl Side With Japanese. Vancouver, B. C. ?Following a riot, in which Chinatownand the Japanese quarters were raided and damage done approximating $15,000, a further demonstration occurred later, in which Baron Aikujire Ishii, chief of the Bureau of Foreign Commerce, and head of the Japanese consular service, and Consul Saburo Hisamidzu, of Seattle, were the central figure^, and in which riot many Japanese and Chinese were bruised and injured by broken bottles and flying brickbats in the hands o? a frenzied mob. Baron Ishii and Consul Hisamldzu finally made their escape through the mob and the affair was immediately cabled to Tokio. Seven or eight of the Japanese were unceremoniously picked up and thrown into Buzzard Inlet. The Asiatic Exclusion League held a parade and later a meeting, at which Lieutenant-Governor Dunsmuir, who vetoed the bill, introduced by the present Attorney-General, to enforce the Natal act in British Columbia, was burned in effigy and a resolution was passed to ask the Dominion Government to allow this bill to become a law. After that the mob stormed Chinatown. deliberately smashing the windows in all stores. Street orators gathered crowds, who even swarmed up the telegraDh pcles. and a strong cordon cf police across the street had all they could do tc keep the mob from again entering the Chinese quarter. As there had been threats of burning, the fire brigade was ready with hose to use this method if necessary to keep the white men back. While the speaking was going on the sound of breaking glass was acclaimed with joyful yells by the hoodlums. Then the mob br~ke loose in Howell street, a few blocks away in another direction, where the Japanese reside. Here windows were broken also, but the Japanese resented, and with bottles and boards, attacked their assailants. Several per iw* V. />aii ry+At. o f _ dUXIS WCiC 1UJU1CU 1U tllC Luuuai u,v.~ tacks. Japanese and Chinese crowded the local gun shops to buy firearms and ammunition. They say they will delend their lives and property. In case the Oriental quarter is again attacked. it is feared that there will be aloodshed, for the Japanese and Chinese are thoroughly aroused and are convinced that the police are poweress to protect tbpm. The police orJered the gun sto to cease selling Srearms to any on until such timei is all possibility of further outbreaks lad passed. Before the order was issued. however, hundreds of Chinese md Japanese had armed themselves. All Chinesp and Japanese domestic servants, of whom hundreds are employed in Vancouver, have stopped vork and have been forced by threats >f their countrymen to act as part of ;he defensive guard. Orientals emjloyed in the mills have also stopped Kork and have taken refuge in th6 luarter occupied by their countrynen, where they are preparing to assist in opposing any further attacks :hat may be made on the quarter. London.?The news of the attacks lid not surprise the Colonial and Foreign Office officials here, who had long 'eared an outbreak against the Asiitics in Western Canada, but they iave the greatest confidence in the ability of the Canadians to suppress iny disturbance and proteqt aliens. \t the same time the officials realize :hat a most serious problem ha3 irisen, particularly as the feeling appears to be strongest against the subjects of Great Britain's Eastern ally, md that it requires the most careful handling, for whatever action is taken is likely to be resented either by the colony or by Japan. $8000 BANK ROBBERY. Safe Dynamited While Thieves Held Back Townspeople. Frankfort S. D.?The James River Bank, of Frankfort, was dynamited ?a,-ly iu (he morning and robbed of $S000. Seven charges nf dynamite were used in blowing open the bank fault. Persons aroused by the explosion ivere prevented from interfering by ;rards stationed by the thieves at ;he front and rear of the bank. Frank Fitzpatrick, who sought to_ break through the guards, was sho't. His wound is not serious.

The long expected cry. "Drive ou the Hindus!" was heard the night be fore throughout the city and alonj the water front. The police weri helpless. All authority was paralyzec and for five hours a mob of half i thousand white men raided the mill! where the foreigners were working battered down doors of lodging houses and, dragging the Asiatic! from their beds, escorted them to th< city limits with orders to keep going. The trouble started at C and Holl} streets, a lodging house district.

Here the police suggested that th< mob victims be taken to jail. This was hailed with delight and the Hin dus were hustled along. From thu time on few were beaten. The mol kept up its work along the watei front until early next morning, wher Larson's mill at Whatcom Lake was visited and 100 Hindus brought ir from there. Four women were found among th< crowd in the city building.

All that the State Departmen can do is to ask the Governor o Washington to take steps to preven a recurrence of the trouble. Th British Government is likely to fini itself embarrassed in dealing with th Bellingham incident because of th ever present danger of similar at tacks upon the East Indians, who ar numerous in British Columbia.

AGED SOLDIERS MARCH IN RA1M Traversed a Mile Through Village Streets, While Thousands, With Uncovered Heads, Watched the Faltering Lines and Old Banners. Saratoga, N. Y.?The Grand Arm7 of the Republic held its parade?its forty-first. Ton thousand limping, gray haired veterans, the remnant of the army, whose scores of thousands passed in review at the national capital when the war was over, braved a driving storm to march once more beneath their battle flags. As unmindful of the storm as in the days of " '61," when youth and vigor and love of the flag knew no physical fnoao rfwinrJHnsr thousands passed once more in review. While scores dropped out when the rain began to fall the ranks; held their line and braved the driving storm as if again going to their places in the front of battle. The rain poured with steadily increasing force as they marched, but through the drenching torrents they kept on. Few there were who even held umbrellas. For an hour and more the old soldiers plodded on between lines of cheering people as plucky as themselves, keeping step to the music. Governor Charles E. Hughes, his military staff, the national officers of the Grand Army and distinguished visitors stood on the reviewing stand, poorly shielded from the driving storm. When the last rank had passed in review the rain ceased, the skie3 cleared and the sun broke out. The dripping but undaunted old soldiers found their ways to lodging places, satisfied that such a trifle as a driving rainstorm had no more arrested their onward march than it had in the days of war. The parading distance was reduced to one mile, the shortest ever fixed for the national encampment. For the first time the parade was limited to members of the Grand Army instead of being open to all survivor? of the war. The village was ablaze with the national colors, covering the fronts of buildings, festooned at every convenient point, strung in rows at short intervals across me streets auu turnpletely covering the interior of the great convention hall where the sessions of the encampment were held. One of the features of the parade was the presence of a big flag which covered the body of General Grant od its way from Mount McGregor to the tomb. In custody of the Grenadier Guard, commanded by Colonel A. S. Fowler, of Little Rock, Ark., of which every man was over sis feet tall, and each represented one of the forty-five departments of the G. A. R., this old flag brought up the rear. MAY GET JAMESTOWN SITE. Believed That Exposition Co. Will Fail to Repay Government Loan.
