Extract From Reco.rds. 
! "The records show that the membership, 
laborers and funds have more than doubled 
every ten years since the organization of 
the general conference in 1863. 
The 3,500 
Sabbath keepers have been increased to 
81,721. The stat! of ministers bas been In-
creased from i to !)60. The annual tithe 
has swelled from $12,000 to $001,819.33 and 
th•1 annual ot!erings to $144,712.20. Although 
l
there was no great noise nor blowing of 
trumpets, this cause gained 
much In 
~membership, labore-rs and funds from lB!la 
to 1!)08 as it had gained during the preced-
ing fifty years of its history. The six con-
ferences have increased to 18 union confer-
eiJces, 78 local conferences, 3 union missions 
land 50 local missions. The one small print-
ing and publishing house ha:s been increas-
ed to 11 publishing houses and 45 printing 
, offices; the 2 papers to 89, and books, tracts 
1and papers are being publlsbed In forty or 
more different languages. The book sales 
reported average at least $500,000 annual-
ly." 
Comparative Statement. 
In comparing the home land with foreign 
fl,elds, President Daniells said: 
· 
"In no part o! the great harvest field 
have such large results been produced from 
the expenditure of labor and means as In 
the new, unworked mission fields. In the 
The Departed .M.emoers. 
The experiences In removing the head-
quarters of the denomination from Battle 
Creek, Mich., were then presented by Elder 
Daniells, after which he referred to the 
breaks in the ranks of some of the fellow , 
workers In the church. In all, he said, 
there have been twE.>nty-nine ministers, mis-
sionaries and wives o! ministers who have 
fallen, some in active service on the field 
of battle and some in quiet, peacefui re-
tirement. .The 1 ss of these workers bas 
been keenly felt, he sn.id. 
In concluding, Elder Daniells suggested 
a number of measures, which, In his opin-
ion, should receive the serious considera-
tion of the present conference, and whiclr. 
if adopted, will help to define and empha-
size the pollcy to be carried out in the 
various departments of the cause through-
out the world-wide territory.

I 
program: At 10 o'clock yesterday morning 
Sunday school was held hi the large tent on 
the grounds o! the Adventists on Carroll 
avenue, on the banks of Sligo stream. The

the fact that all of the delegates in attend-
ance at the conference were pres~nt In a 
body as well as the members of the .four 
Churches In V'ashington, which was a fea-
ture of the day's exercises. At 11 o'clock 
Pastor E. W. Farnsworth of London, Eng-
! land, delivered an Interesting sermon ap-
t propriate to the occasion and covering the 
['work of the Adventists in all of their 
branches. The remainder of the afternoon 
1 and evening was occupied in devotional 
work, the attendance remaining practically 
the same as a~ the morning sessions, a brief 
adjournment being taken at noon.

ence proved a very interesting day with

"To His Excellency, President Roosevelt: 
''The world's conference of Seventh Day

recognize that civil government is of divine

Operation of Conference and

part of .the gospel, and at today's meeting 
the report of the committee on organize.•

sented and read to the delegates. At the 
conclusion of Its reading the remainder 
of the day was devoted to the reading of

; He is of the opinion that this can be 
I accomplished by aiding in maldng all of 
1 
the sanitariums, treatment rooms, hY• 
gienic restaurants and food stores cen-
1 
ters for. the circulation of such literature 
and 
by encouraging physicians and

supporting missionary work to make 
'their work evangelical and to be active 
in the circulation of the health and tem• 
perance literature. 
Unity of Action. 
In conclusion he stated that inviting 
all of the ministers of the denomination 
to heartily unite in this campaign by' 
preaching more frequently on health and 
temperan!W subjects and encouraging 'all 
churches to engage in this work and bY 
!>conducting schools of health as oppor· 
tunity may make it advisable, could 
bring about the desired result. He sug-
gested the holding of annual conv~tions 
for 
physicians of 
the 
denomination, 
nurses and other medical missionarY 
1 workers, where practical questions on all 
'phases of medical missionarY work could 
1 be considered and plans of work laid out. 
Owing to the fact that so many of the 
officers of the general conference and 
delegates composed the deputation which 
called upon President Roosevelt yester• 
day the conference did not resume its 
lsessions until 7:30 o'clock last evening, 
when a portion of the report of the medi:-
cal department was read. The Adventists 
are highly elated over their visit yester-
day, the greeting received being especia.l-
l
ly appreciated by the delegates f.rom for-
eign countries who were with the depu-
tation. The next conference will, in all 
probability, be held In a foreign ~ountry, 
four years hence. The

"While no:t the most populous, the mis-

, ot nearly a quarter nf a million souls, lo-
cated in a very favorable position with ref-

Before adjournment yesterday the com-
mittee on plans reported several imJ)ortant 
medical missionary recommendations, which 
were adopted at the conference, in addi-
tion to those announced In yesterday's Star. 
They provided that a standing committee 
of seven on medical literature be appointed 
by the medical missionary council, with ln· 
structlons to encourage the preparation of 
manUJ'!cripts, examine and pass upon such 
manuscripts as were submitted and make 
recommendations to the general eonference 
publication committee and the publishing 
house. It was further provided that the J 
publishing houses be requested to give the 1 
same attention ~o the publication and circu-1 
latlon of health and temperance literature 1 
as Is given to other lines o! publications. 
1 
The literature comrnlttee was requested to 
make a careful study of the most pressing 
·needs in these lines and of the sneclal 
quallficatlons of individuals to meet these 
needs, and that those whose experience and 
other qualifications are su!ta·ble be request-, 
eel to prepare and submit manuscrip~ for 
the use of the department. It was agr_eed> 
that the work 
of 
tho 
nurses' training• 
school was fundamental to go~d medicaP 
missionary work. and the efforts that arebe~ 
tng made to bring the training schools fo 
nurses to the highest possible standard wer~ 
approved by the conference. 
In conse-
duslon it was unanimously a,dopted that 
l 
everything possible be done to increase the 
missionary spirit, zeal and efficiency or tue 
nurses' training schools. 
A meeting of the Washington Training 
College w·as held this morning, when the 
connnittee on nominations submitted Its re-
port. 
The following were elected as the 
board of trustees for. the ensuing term: A. 
G. Daniels, W. J. Laughllead, W. V{. Pres-
cott, I. H. Evans, G. B. Thompson. A. P. 
Needham, I. A. Irwin, J. R. Scott and \V. T. 
Bland. 
The committee on resolutions also sub-
mitted a report respecting the future work 
of the college, which was adopted after due 
consideration. 
At the meeting yesterday It was decided 
that the missionary campaign entered upon 
last year should be strengthened, deepened 
and enlarged Into a mighty world-wide 
movement. In order to avoid confusion and 
·to econom!ze effort It was recommended 
that the effort to place the Review and 
Herald in every Sabbath-keeping home be 
continued. especially through the camp-
meeting season and early fall. The publi-
cation department's recommendation that 
a general campaign for the missionary peri-
odicals be entered upon about October 1 
was approved by the general conference, 
as was also the recommendation that, be-
ginning in early November, special efforts 
be made by the conference workers and 
church officers to interest the people in the 
sale o! books. 
"Beginning with the Danish and British 
Virgin Islands on the north, and extending 
to and including the Guianas of South 
America, with Venezuela as a 
ml~.slon 
field, it covers a territory over 1,000 miles 
in length, including more than a score of 
islands, and embraces over 800,000 square 
miles .of the South American continent. 
"We have in our conference," he con-
tinued, "one of the most thickly populated 
spots on the face of the earth, not exclud-
ing China or Belgium, Barbados having an 
average of over eleven hundred people to 
the square mile. 
Our field Is also cosmo-
politan. 
British Guiana and many of the 
islands belong to England, and the Eng-
lish language is principally spoken. 
Sev-
eral of the larger islands and French 
Guiana belong to France. 
Frertch is the 
pr~vailing language'!n those islands. Other 
islands and Dutch Guiana belong to the 
Dutc~ government, and the Dutch language 
prevails. 
St. Thomas, St. <':rolx and St 
Johns belOng to Denmark. 
Venezuela I~

In British Guiana and Trinidad 
there about 2;)0,000 East Indians, brought 
from India to work on the sugar estates 
Many of these are educated In English and 
are well to do."

The meeting In the morning was pre-
sided over by VIce President L. R. Con· 
radl, during which time reports were pre· 
,sented -concerning 
th~ growth in Ger-
many, Switzerland, Austria, Russia and 
1 Turkey. The rC'ports were listened to with 
deep interest, and were very encouraging 
to the. ofl:lcers of the general conference. 
The growth and extension of the de· 
nominational work having 'become so ex-
tensive that it js impossible for the gen-
eral conference, either In itself• or through

uescriblng the work of the British union 
conference, which embraces the territory o! 
l<~ngland, Scotland, Ireland and Wales, com-
prising an area of 120,!)00 square miles. Ho 
·~spoke of the rapid growth of the Duncomh 
llnll Training College; the Belfast Sanita-
rium, in Belfast, Ireland, which was opened 
In the fall of 1002 through the generosity of 
the Irish, who raised $1,:.!1G.;:i0, and a g1ft of 
~1i00 from the general conference; the Cater-
ham Sanitarium, south of London, which 
was opened in l\Iay, HXl3; tb~ Leicester San-
itarium, Leicester, England, all of which 
have made most satisfactory progress with-
in the last few years. 
In concluding his addr.<>ss the speaker al-
luded to the fact that the Adventists were 
!indebted to l.<}ngland for the first translation 
,of the Scriptures Into the English language. 
In an ancient church at Lutterworth there 
can be seen today copies of this translation 
of tb.e Bible and a picture of vYicklltre, the

This Morning. 
\ 
The· general conference o 
the Seventh • 
Day Adventists, which has been In session 
. since May 11, will adjourn this evening, to 
I 
convene in England in Ux)n. 
The session 
abc.ut. to close Is the thirty-sixth regular 
session of the general conference and was, 
the most successful and largest attended 
conference in the history of the denomina-
, tlon. 'l'he delegates present Included repre-
sentatives from every country In the world 
and from every state In the 'Lnion. 
At the early morning session today a mis-
sionary meeting was held, 'at which the 
miss'ionarles from all the foreign lands pre-
Sfnted a "symposium" setting forth the 
needs and conditions of their respective 
countries and their appeals for as~lstance. 
'l'he Dresentatlon was made to the general 
conference, at which all of the officers of 
the conference and the delegates were pres-
uit. The remainder of the day was devoted 
to the reading of reports. 
The report ·of Superintendent J.• B. Beck-
ner on the Jamaica conference proved ltn 
Interesting paper, in which he spoke of the 
evidences of progress in the work in that 
section. 
"The tithes for 1003." he said, 
"were $1,462.76, and for 1tl{)4 $1,427.03. 
Of-
ferings for 1W3 were $&4:Lla, and for 1\}J.l 
$Ci~.SS. This decrease was in consequence 
of the destructive storm In the latter part 
of lll03 and the general depression that fol-
lowed~ 
One of the most important reports sub-
mitted during the session was that of the 
committE:e on distribution of labor, whieh 
was adopted at the meeting last night. The 
designations as announced are as follows: 
Elder F. H. Conway and wife of Okla-

ference has been systematized. and devel-
oped and plac€d on a firmer and more sub-
stantial basis than ever before in the his-

this work on the same basis as the other 
department lines of the work.

; To the Editor ot The Star: 
In view of the recent deplorable drown-
L 
ing of the young boy at Chain Bridge on 
the 4th of July, I think It my duty to :.U-~ 
form those ignorant of the conditions that 
COI).front would-be bathers at this point of 
the Potomac river. 
1 
I was born and reared In Georgetown and 
/ krow ever>· foot of the river above the I 
Aqueduct bridge, and I can say with all 
truthfulness that any man or boy who 
tries to swim above what Is called the Mill 
point-a distance possibly of from 500, to 
60'1 yards below Chain bridge-takes h!s 
1 life In his hands, as the undertow between · 
Mill point and the bridge and above the 
bridge is so great that it will drown the 
hardiest swimmer known. No one knowing 
the conditions of which I speak can deny 
this fact, for although the bosom of the 
water in this locality looks placid enough, 
still there is a veritable whirlpool lurking 
three feet under this portion of the Po-
ton:ac river, which will carry to death the 
' ignorant and unwary bather, no matter 
· how strong or expert he may be. It was 
about 100 yards below Chain bridge where 
the son of Senator John T. Morgan of Ala-
bama met his death, and although he was 
an expert athlete and a noted swimmer, 
he had no show whatever in this deadly 
undertow. 
I could name almost a score of men and 
boys who, ignorant of this portion of the 
Potomac, have been drowned there within 
my recollection. 
It seems to me that the District or the 
Maryland authorities should put placards 
on the Chain bridge and points in that vi-
cinity, notifying the ignorant and unwary 
M the danger that lurks in the immediate 
vicinity of the bridge.

America being a land of liberty and the

national constitution guaranteeing free-
audience at the Tuesday evening session

Mr. Colcord Is secretary of the Religi-
ous !Jlberty Bureau, a departmE-nt ot the 
General Conference of Seventh-day Ad-
ventists, the headquarters of which are 
now locatEd at ·washington. He spoke 
on the subjEct of "Religiou-s Liberty; or 
Religious Legislation in the Light of the 
Gospel and the Principles upon which 
the Government of the United States 
was Founded." 
Mr. Colcord stated that his grand-
father was born and brought up in the 
State of Maine, and that on his grand-
mother's side he was a lineal descendant 
of the Pilgrim Fat{lers; he, 
therefore, 
felt quite at home in New England, and 
especially in Main~. 
Basing his remarks upon Math. xxll:15-
21, the speaker said:-
der _the goverument, and that "Congress 
shall make no law r~spectlng an t.~tab­
lishment of xeligion, or prohibiting the 
freEJ exercise thereof." 
The ex.unpl set by the national gov-
ernment was generally followed by the 
states, and, as a consequence, this coun· 
try for the past century· has l.Jeen known 
throughout the world as the land of lib-
erty. lt is a slgnifica.nt fact that on old 
"Liberty Bell," which was rung at thl3 
signing of the Declaration of Indepen-
dence, were cast the words: 
"Prociaim 
liberty throughout all the land unto all 
the inhabitants thereof." 
The two great pillars which support 
the triumphal arch of American liberty 
are: First, that government is of the peo-
ple. This is the essence of republican-
ism. 
Second, that civil 
government 
should be separate from religion, and can 
of right have nothing whatever to do 
with religion by coercive measures. This 
is the essence of religious freedom under 
God is the Author of Uberty. Both the 
Bible and nature teach this. The bab-
bling brooks, the careless wind, the birds 
1n air, the beasts on hlll and plain, all 
apeak to us of freedom. 
Above all, God created man to be free., 
free even to· choose between right and 
wrong, and to determine his own des-
tiny. And when man chose the wrong, 
and became the slave of sin, so much I 
governmer.t. 
. 
Without these principles this nation 
ould not be unlike the despotic empires 
of the past. These are the two lamb-
like horns of the beast by which this na-
I 
did God desire his freedom that He sent 
His well beloved Son to release him. 
Christ came to "preadl deliverance to 
the captives," and to "set at liberty 
those that are bruised." And whom the 
Son makes free is free Indeed. The Holy 
Spirit woos and works to the same end, 
for "where the Spirit of the Lord is, 
there ls Uberty." The whole Godhead, 
therefore, the Trinity, ls set for liberty. 
Sin and sla~·ery go together. Truth 
and freedom are twin sisters. 
God hates bondage and oppression. In 
~ rael every fiftieth year, He said, should 
0, a year of jubilee. On thts year th~y 
~ere to "proclaim liberty throughout all 
the land unto all the iunabitants there-
of." Lev. xxv:lO. They falled to do 
this, and, In consequence, 
themselves 
went into captivity. 
Through the prophet Jeremiah God 
said to them: "Ye· have not harkened 
unto me, in proclaiming Uberty, every 
one to his brother, and every man to his 
neighbor: behold I proclaim a Uberty for 
you, saith fhe Lotd, to the sword, to 
the pestilence; and to the famine; and I 
will make you to be removt>d into all the 
kingdoms of the earth." Jer. xxxlv:l7. 
Herein is contained the philosophy of 
hlstoty anCl of nations. 
Governments 
are ordanied to administer justice to pro-
tect rights, and to preserve liberty. God 
keeps a reckoning with nations as well 
as w1th lndiYidunls. When they cease to 
fuU	 the emls for which they were es-
tablished. and become oppressors, sooner 
or la.ter \hey fall. 
In proof or this we 
need only to read the history of Egypt, 
Assyria, Babylon, 
Medo~ersla, Greece 
ano Rome. 
Civil liberty springs from religious free-
dom.

But the seeds of despotism are still 
lurking •· In nearly everv state in • 
the Union are to be found the· germ and 
estJence of all religious establishments 
and the very means by which church 
and state wera united In the fourth and 
fifth centuries ln Europe,-Sund~y laws. 
Through Sunday legislation the evil seed , 
of spiritual despotism and religion es-
tablished by law has been brought over 
and transplanted from the old world 
onto American soil. Forty-three of the 
'forty-five states have Sunday laws. As 
yet the national government has no Sun-
day law; but a moveme~t is on foot, and • 
most vigorous efforts are being put forth 
to have it enact one~ All o·ver the coun-
try the spirit is rising, and a call is be-
ing made, for enforced Sunday observ-
ance, and for the teaching of a church-
defined religion by the state in its schools 
supported by public taxation. Only last 
winter \·e had a big battle over both of 
these questions in Washington. 
If r•arents. as commanded In Deut. 
vi:6, 7, would do a:'l my wife in her last 
Jetter to me says she does,-read to th~ 
children les~on::; from the Bible 
everY 
day-thel'e would not be this demand for 
religiouR Instruction by the State ln the 
Btate schools. The commis !on to teach 
and preach the woro was given to the 
church, not to the State. 
On the reverse side of the Great Seal 
of the United States is the Latin Inscrip-
tion, Novus ordum seculorum, which, 
translated, means, "A new orl'ler of 
things." This government was founded 
upon a new order of things; upon the 
prin<.'lples of civil anl'l religious Uberty. 
Tho founders meant that here every one 
should have the right to worship 
God 
according to the dictates of conscience. 
But what does this movem('nt mean? It 
means the subversion of its principles 
upon which thts government was found-
ed, and a return to the "old order of 
things." It means oppression and reli-
gious persecution. 
The same prophecy which pictured 
this nation under the symbol of a beast 
with two horns "like a lamb," says "he 
spake as a dragon." Already a bitter, 
persecuting spirit is being manifested in 
this Sunday enforcement movement. Al-
ready scores of conscientious obser.vera 
of the seventh dar have been fined and 
imprisoned under the Su~1day laws of 
various states.

the only brother of the speaker, were

for quiet labor on tht'ir own premises on 
Sunday. 
· 
The State has no more right to say 
which day is the Sabbath than it 'has to 
say which t'hurch 
is the church, or 
'!:_hich mode of bnptism is baptism. It 
has no more right to compel men to keep 
a Sabbath than it has to compel them 
t~ join a church and attend church ser-
VIces. In the past Sunday laws hn,·e 
frequently required church attendance. 
They are religious . .and their object Is to 
compel men to worship on a parlicular 
dny and In a particular way, or to suffer 
the Jlains and penalties ot law. 
But all this is anti-Christian, anti-
Protestant, ana un-American. 
Christ 
compelled no one to accept Him or His 
tc·achings, ann rebUkE'd His aisciples for 
desiring to wreak vengeance upon those 
who followed not them. The Protestants 
c:Jeclared that "in matters of conscience 
f 1e 
majority has 
no 
power." And 
George Washington, the "Father of our 
Countr~·." .said that '"'every man who 
conducts himself as a good citizen is ac-
countable alone to God for his religious 
faith, and should be protected in wor-
shiping God according to the dictates of 
his own conscienc~." The Sabbath be-
longs to God, and its observance should 
be rendered to God and not to civil gov-
ernment. 
Enforced Sunday rest means enforced 
Stmday idleness, and idleness 1s still the 
devil's workshop. Sundav la,vs are re-
sponsible for much of the Sunday clis-
Slpatlon. God commands men to keep 
the 'Sabbath "holy," and unless it is kept 
thus it is ·better not kept at all. And as 
the State can not of right command men 
to keep a day holy, it has no right to 
command them to keep it at all. 
Moreover, Sunday laws are in direct 
confUct with the law of God, which says 
that "the fleventh day is the Sabbath!' 
In this issue, as In days of old, men will 
have to decide whom they will obey, God 
r men. The apostles said: "We ought 
to obey God rather than men." In all 
agea God has ~ndlcated and approver 
those who stood for this principle eve 
against the largest majorit1es and th 
strongest earthly kingdoms. The dellv 
erance of Peter from prison, of Dan! 
from the lion's den and of the three H 
brew captives from the fiery furnace 1B 
sufficient proof of this. 
Divine religious 'Institutions do not rc-
1 
quire the aid of civil law. 
~o believer in 
Christian ba tism, the Lord's Supper or 
the .seventh day Sabbath ever asks' or 
seeks for law.s from the State compell-
ing their observance. The Bible enjoins 
their observance, and that is sufficient. 
But not so with the Sunday. 
For this Sabbatical obserYance there is 
no divine comand. To make up for this 
lack of divine authority men are seeking 
the strong arm of tho State. H theY 
would walk in the light as it is now 
shining, and return to the observance of 
the Bible Sabbath, no such course would 
be thought necesary. Refusing the fi·u · 
reform they inaugurate a false one. 
\Ve have entered upon stirring thnes. 
Evidently the days of persecution for 
conscience sak~ are not all past. Through 
Sunday legislation church and State are 
being united in the United States 
and 
the glorious principles of civil an'd re-
ligious liberty which have 
mad~ this 
nation great and its name a praise 
throughout the earth are being forgotten, 
•Ignored, and trampled in the dust. It is 
time every lover of liberty sounded a 
note of warning, and took his stand 
against this thing.

went as others had -.come and gone since 
the birth of time., aoo w!Ul It came a 
great and bitter <lh,..ppolntment. 
Hun·

to M!ller and his co-workeTS, who., noth-
Ing daunted, rea.djusted their ocalculatlons 
and c<mtlnued thereafter sett-Ing dates for 1

which they IIISue their pap&r, the 'Vorld's 
Crisis. They oblOerV<' the fll"St day of the 
week as the Sabbath, and, In fact, have 
l".JO peculd.a.r do.ctrln-es and practices other 
than that their leaders still 
continue 
prophecy and set dates for the end of the 
world, just as M!Ber did 0'H seventY

At the t.lme of the breaking up a! M11ler-
1Em there was still another se<>tion of this 
denomination, which, without going to the 
len•gth of condemn!l-,;g Mlll<.'r AS a. fraud, or 
a<'ceptlng him as au lnfnlllble p-rophet, 
held, nevertheless, that he post~essed the 
prophetic "p!r!t, but, that being a man 
and-a student of tho Bible, he had In 
some mann"r erre!d 1n his ln-te:rpretat!on 
ot the Holy Book. These poople ,.,t them-
selves to !nvestiga t"' the Bible on their 
own aceount, and In so doing dMfted, then 
finally broke away entirely from First-
day Adventism. 
The>" were much the 
more active ot the two bod.les. and It Is 
a notE'worthy fact tha.t while the FU-at-
dlHY AtLv<>nt!sts are centered.'ln New Eng-

The result or their Bible study was 
that they reached the conclusion that 
Millet· was In pa.rt right, but that the 
eYent to which the texts tn question re-
fer hau to do with 1.1. celestial and not a 
mundane event. The Bible study of th!s 
more actlv" branch of M!llorlsm led to 
other changes. They abnndon<><l the first

the head and shoulders of Seventh-Day 
Adventism. 
Such Is the organization of 
the church to-day. 
The president, vice 
president, and other officers are the 
governing beaus of Adventism, through 
whom the church spen.lcs. 
rl'hey ca.nnot 
make or dletate laws for the church, 
that being the function of the general 
conference, of hich they are both mem-
bers and otncers. 
Tho first general con-
ference wa.q held at Battle CrE'ek. Mich., 
May 20 to 23, lnclusiv<>, 1863. There were 
twenty delegates present, repres+;nttpg 
five unions, the total membE'rshlp being 
at that tim<' &,600. 
Seventh-Day Adventism grew by leaps 
an<l bounds. 
By 1883 they numbered 
over 17,000, with an annual tithe or In· 
come to the general conference of $96,· 
000. 
By 1893 their numbers had In-
creased to 40,000, with a.n annual tithe 
of $400,000. 
To-day the church has over 
80,000 members the world over, seventy 
unions in this country and twenty in 
Europe, ·wtth an annual incotne of clm:;p 
to a million C>f dollars. 
This Is nil the 
more nstonl~hlng when one considers that 
the Adventists are by no means wealthy 
in the worldly ~ense. The church Is made 
up of people of very moderate mC'nn~. with-

In the Dl,trlct. 
To-day there are !our 
S'UCh churches. 
and soonor or later 1t w!ll be noted here, 
as It ha.s alrcndy b~en observed In the

Ad\u00b7entlst tlje negro becomes n 
Industrious, ond honest man. 
In respect t<> Industry the 
are like the M·orm!>Ils. No drones 
bonM are tolerated, anu e·ven the 
of their church when not engaged In 
uvo labors for the faith will be found 
lowing humble occupations, farming 
laborin-g with their hands. 
Thus, 
that the white ma.n as weLl as the 
who enters the told ot Adventism 
first e>f .all make up n•e mind to three 
things, viz: To work, to stay sober, and to 
let ham alone.

lt Ia not

DISPU fED 
QUESTION 
QUO 
WARRANTO 
PROCEEDINGS 
COMMENCED 
BY 
ATTORNEY 
GENERAL BIDD, AGAINST MICH· 
IGAN SANITARIUM AND BENEV· 
OLENT ASSOCIATION. 
.To Determine If Sanitarium Is a Ben-
evolent Institution in Meaning of 
StatuteState's Attorney Claims In· 
stitution is Not a Benevolent And 
Makes Several Statements to Porve 
·lt. 
f 
(From Wednesday's Daily.) 
Papers were filed this afternoon in 
the circuit com·t at Marshall by City 
Attorney Clark, to commence a quo 
warranto suit of Attorney General Bird 
against the Michigan Sanitarium and 
Benevo_lent A~;sociation, of this city, to 
determme whether or not the Sanitar-
ium is a benevolent institution in the 
meaning of the statute under ~hich it 
1:3 incorporated, and under which it has 
refu~>ed to pay any taxes, claiming the 
charitable institution exemption. 
It 
has won its suits in the circuit and su-
preme cottrts · the state for the re' 
funding of taxes paid for the year 189 
and now State's Attorney General Dirt 
has taken a hand in the matter by th 
commencemenL of the quo warrant 
proceedings. 
\ 
~ 
A resume of the assertions advanced 
by Bird in proof of his statement that' 
the Sanital'ium is ;not a benevolent in-
si.ittution, are as follows: 
'l'hat the said inslitulion was in-
corporated to found a hospital or 
charitable asylum, and which in-
stitution shall devote the 
funds~ 
and property acquired 
to main-
"tainlng itself, improving its con-I 
ditions and facilities, extending 
!t~:; uaefulncss and benefits and fa-
tlilitating and promoting its pur-
. poses by such tranitary, dietetic, 
'.' 
hygienic 
and 
philanthropic 
re-
1 
forins and efforts as are germane 
,. 
ar au~Hary thereto; all its said 
, purposes being undenominational, 
unset>Jarian, }lhilanthropic, butnan-
ltarian and charitable, and in no 
ro~. eiJ,.b.c.r...dirJ:}ctly or indirect, 
ly, for Priv to prollt or cliY:tttenil., I 
paying to any one. 
And that the said attorney gen-
eral gives the court to understand 
that and be informed that the said 
institution has since the date of its 
· 
incorporation claime_d 
and 
still 
claims that. its buildings, grounds 
and personal property are 
empt 
tt·om ~a.xation, greatly in excess of 
that necessary for the administer-
ing of the said trust by reason of 
its incorporation and the use of its 
property, under the statute afore-
said, and said corporation has re-
fuse-d to pay and still refuses to 
lUl.Y the taxes levied upon its prop-
erties hy the assessors of the City 
of Battle Creek, covering the state, 
county, city and school taxes. 
And the said attorney general 
further gives tho court to under-
stand that the said corporation 
has evor since that date of it-s iin-
corporation exercise.d and does 
now exercise certain franchi1:1es ' 
and privileges not conferred upon 
it, by. law, and in violation of q10 
s'aid act under wbich it was incor-
porated, and not in accordance 
with theii· articles of incorporation 
and in contempt of the people of 
the slate of Michigan and to their 
great danger arid vrejudice. 
·That while claiming to operate 
a so eallcd eharity hospital, on the 
contrary the said institution is a 
thoroughly equipped Sanitarium, 
patroni:r.ed almost exclusively by 
patients abundantly able to pay 
for their care and treatment re-
ceived, and that· the institution is 
not conducted solely for charity, 
and that the so-called charity is 
not to worthy and needy patients 
except in rare cases, and does con-
sh;t of discounts and 
favors 
to 
those able to pay; and that tlle 
majority of the so-called charity 
patients are not residents of the 
state as required by the statute. 
That 
while 
the 
Sanitarium 
claims to pay 
no dividends 
to 
stockholders, that it purchases its 
supplies largely from corporations 
and associations wholly composed 
of tho prindpals and managers of 
the l::laid Sanitarium, by which and 
through ~;;uch dealings the officers 
'and managers receive large bene-
fits and profits. 
That 
while the 
Sanitarium 
claims to be undenominational and 
non-sectarian, that unjust discrim-
ination is made in favor of certain 
patients by reason of their affili-
ation with certain religions, and 
for other and improper reasons 
the prices chargccl are not uniform 
and just, as prescribed by law, the 
prices charged to some of the pa-
tients being exorbitant, while oth-
ers who are able to pay are treated 
tor nothing or at a large discount. 
That the sanitarium 1is not law-
fully eondneting its trust, in that it 
l1as an in<lelJtedness 
of several 
hundred thousand dollars, and in 
order to secure payment of which 
it has executed a mortgage upon 
all its property, whereby all its 
a:;;;ets, including the original trust 
fund, is liable to be wiped out by 
the holders of the said bonds, by 
virtue of the said mortgage lien. 
\Vbercfore the said attorney 
general prays for dne process of 
law against the said corporation, 
in lhis behalC to the made to aos• ... , 
wer to the said People 
of the 
State of Michigan, by what war-
rant said corporation 
claims 
to 
exercise said franchises and priv-
ileges. 
JNO. E. BIRD, 
Atty. Gen. for State. of Mich. 
0. s. Clark, for counsel. 
'l'he amount involved in this suit 
stands in round numbers about $25,-
000. 
A portion of this has been paid 
by the Sanitarium for which it recent-
ly sued and won its case in both tlHi 
lower and higher courts, the remainder 
of the sum being for unpaid taxes. 
The allegations made above are the 
result of a careful study of the reports· 
of the Sanitarium turned over to th~ 
attorney general.

of India, an.l consequently a llusso-Germun 
alliance would be of Ilttle use in assisting 
the expansion of Russia eastwards. 
But 
au understanding 'l'l'lth Great Britain would 
obviously, fr'Jm the Russian point of view, 
be an additional safeguard 
aiust her 
pow.!rful next-door-neighbor, Germany. Rus-
sia cannot expand eastward, nor make good 
her foothold itt tbe vast territory that slle 
has already occupied in Asia, as long as slle 
is compelled to deYote a large part of her 
military resources to gafeguat·d!ng her wes-

•JJ"Hycr, while I was asldng the Lord 
•o guide me and show us what to do, 
he 8plrit of God came In and a holy, 
>olemn awe came upon us. 
A voice 
·aid to me: ·:; spoct the courtesy of 
ltim." 
The "ProphetC'ss" hns undoubtedly 
'orgotten this wisdom, which at til~ 
arne wat; accompanied !Jy a "frag-
·mtcc as of beautiful flowers." 
One other statement in this same 
Hldrcss now sounds 
m,e 
a funny 
:tory: "God wants those who have 
'cit it their duty to circulate disparag. 
'ng reports nbout Dr. Kellogg :u;tl 
'ho medical missionary worlt to !Je 
~onvcrted." 
Another· oddity is that Mrs. White 
~ld"o 
'
ybod~·. let alone the doug-htey little 
rloctor whom she now drags over the 
coals at regular intervals. 
On April 
lOth, 1901, she said; 
"The Lord Is not ple<tsed with His 
•eopiC' when they neglect to C'rlticise 
fhcir own son!, crltiC"islng others Jn./ 
;tead. 'fhis Is Satan's work." 
Some of these statements, nor in· 
congruous In the extreme, 
will un-
lonlltedly soon be flashed heforo the 
'>lazing eyes of the 'true .holiovers,"/ 
'ogether with 
Mrs. \'hitC''s 
other 
~latonrl.'nt, in which she pl:ll'cd Dr. 
T(ellogg on the high [ledestal from 
which she Is now 
trying to lmock 
him. 
Local business men have 
intensely interested In the situation 
1s created by the fanatics, but Inves-
tigation brings some encouragl'meul. 
~·or Instance, It is found that few 
famllins have hegnn to pack up and 
that those who seem rcadv to leave 
llattle Creek so far are la;·~ely stud· 
~nts in the American Medical Mis-
qionury College, and nurses at the 
-3anitarium. 
In fact, it is stated tlmt 
he larger part of the frl'shmnn cln.ss 
t tp' college is~1raudy to quit 'school 
mmcdiately.

A lette:r-of p:;::y, recently giv· 
1
1 en out by: Prophetess Ellen G. White, 
of the Adventist denom~nation, is the 
{ cause of considerable agitation just at 
present among the members of the 
'!Adventist churcij, by the majority of 
w.Q.om Mrs. While is held in the nt-
mose reverence. as 
being the ac-
l
lmowledgei:l prophetess of their faith. 
· 
It is understood 
that her latest 
propn.ecies deal in a large measure 
with facts which are of much interest ' 
and importance to the colony of Ad· 
ventists in this cfiy, dealing as they 
do with matters of local significance. 
In the Adventist as otlfer denomina-
tions there is no denying the fact that 
there are factions. Whlle some of the 
followers of the . faith 
perll~ps have 
more confidence iJl 
e words of Mrs. 
White than others i is generally con-
ceded that she has a powerful infiu· 
ence over them 1 , that is those who 
could be calLed ml hodox in theil· be-
lief. When the Jetter of prophecy was 
1 received in :this city, a meeting of Ad-
! vcntists was called ip. the Tabernacle ~ 
1 and the contents made lmown. 
The r 
letter '""was first reatl S~turda after-
noon, and while the contents are un-1 
l 
known tg,those outsige of the church. 1 
1l is learned from good author'ity that · 
\ 
the prophecies had a great deal of lo .. 
cal bearing. The book, entitled "The 
Temple of Life,'' by Dr. J. H. Kellogg. 
I 
of the Sanitarium came in for consid-
1 
, erable criticism on the part of Mrs . 
. ) White. as did the method, in whicll 
1 the Sanitarium is being conducted. 
'fhere s a long history to the breach 
which is known to exist between the 
general conference of the AQventist 
denomination and he management of 
1 the Battle Creek Sanitarium. The 
idea il:l being carried abroad that the 
: Sanilarium is 
s rictly 
undenomina-
tional. while the leaders of the Ad-
' ventist faith believe t at no such im-
0 
pression should be allowed to pre-
I 
t
vail, and that it ~hould be known and n 
conducted as an Adventist institution. c

Following the election of officers 
considerable time was spent 
in 
a 
general discussion of the attitude tak-
en by the newspa,Jlers on. the present 
controversy between th two factions 
of Adventists. 
It seemed to be the 
general opinion of many of the lo-
cal and state pap0rs bad not treatet'l 
the matter 
fairly. 
The ·Adventists 
f 
COJ!.fess that they do not object to the 
false reports so much on their own ac-
count as that they are very sorry to 
have the matter laid before an inno-
i cent public in such a distorted man-
ner. It is·

In Defense of Himself 
And 
MisS 
Adams, in the Recent Divorce Case. 
• A short time sine!<, 
mention 
was 
made of the granting of a suppre~secl 
1 ctivorce to MrR. E .• 1. \Vaggoner 1rom 
llH!I' hm;band, on the. charge ?f adnl· 
tery Miss Adams bemg ment.oned as 
co-r~stlondent. 
J\lr. 
Waggoner's. 
prominence in Adventist circles was 
the cause of rather se.m;ational stories 
and one of these, In an is~me of the 
Chicago American about 10 days ago, 
was amde up of such a concoction of 
misstatements that ~l finally came ~o 
the nolice or Mr. Waggoner and h1s 
former wife. 
'foday the Journal re-
I ceived the following statement from 
Mr. \Vaggoner, in which he 
denies 
I 
the adultery charge and avers that he 
did not know that such a charge was 
l to be made when he did not contest 
the granting of the divorce: 
. 
Wide pnlJlicity has been g1ven to 
the fact that a divorce on the ground I 
of actn1tery was granteu to my wife 
on the 29th of Deqember. 
For the 
benefit of my friend~:~, who must ~e 1 
perplexecl and distr<.!ilSCd by my fail-
ure to reply to the C'.)large, and In the 
interest of simple ]u>itice, that the 
name of an innocent. woman may be 
cleared of the clout! thrown upon it, 
I wish to make, once and for all, the 
following brief statement: 
Until I was informed by a report· 
0r o nthe 2n<l inst. that a divorce had 
been granted on the ground named, 
' the possibility of such a caarge being 
made never 
entered 
my 
mind. 
I 
btcw of course, that a divorce had 
lJpen 'applied for, but 1 had been giv-
en expressly to un11er$tand 
that it 
was only on the groun•l of incompati-
bility. 
0 uthis assurance, anll from 
the COllSCionsnet;s of my innocence, 
not supposing it possible that anyhody 
could ever think of making ,tne charge 
of adultery, I made no defence; f?r I 
knew that a divorce was ctetermmed 
upon, and I shrank fmm the publicity 
that a contest would involve. 
I have waited this long to 
mal<e 
this statement, in order that it might 
not go unsupported. That it may ap-
pear that I had reason for the confl-
' clencc in which· I r.asted, I present a 
, few extract~; from correspondence. l 
'may say, in pas><ing, that as my only 
llesire is to clear myself from the lm-
pli't•ation of havin_g 11 • my silence con· 1 
, , .<:!HI lJ u ,•,1v:i 
an•' not to injure 
anybody e•1;e, I rdraht as far as pos-
ible from mentt(Jnlng names. 
1 rnmediately on receiving the news 
or the divorce, 1)11 the 2nd 
lost., 
1 
wrote to the man who had acted for 
my wife in ,;ecuring it, substantially 
as follows: 
''Yon cannot Imagine bow shoclwd 
and overwhelmed I was this morning 
when a reporter for the Detroit News 
cam~> to me to enquire about the par-
1 
ttculars or a divorce secured by Mrs. 
\Vaggoner fr<}m me, on the ground of 
adultery with l\liss Adams. 
I could 
not believe it, but he said that bis pa-
per had recetreQ. a te}e&ram from 
Marshall to the effect tnat the divorce 
was granted on 
Saturday. 
I 
could 
only tell him that it was news to me. 
··of course I knew that a divorce 
had been applieu for; but that that 
charge should he ma<le was farthest 
from my mind. 
You Jmow that both 
you and Mrs. '.Vaggoner assured roe 
that no such charge was intended, 
and that it would not be made. It 
was only on this assurance tha.t I did 
not contesr the case. 1 r<""sted quietly, 
in confidence in your word, and In the 
fact that yon both knew as well as 
anyone could that 
such 
a 
charge 
could not be true. 
I cannot believe 
that ~Irs. Waggoner would have de-
liberately deceived 
roe, 
and 
there 
m11st be some mistake which you can 
explain. 
I feel a,; though I had been 
trapped and beaten. I am not maldng 
any reproach; I feel to crushed and 
sore to be angry; buL I am anxiously 
waiting a reply from you, which will 
clear up this terrible thing." 
To this letter I received a reply dat-
ed Chicago, .Jan. 4, 1906, In the hand-
writing of my former wife, prefaced 
by the following explanatory note: 
"Eddie has the headache, so he can· 
not write, but wisbe•l me to answer 
your letter and has come in to dic-
tate it to me. 
.J." 
From the letter I quote the follow-
ing: 
. 
"To say that I am surprised when I 
received your letter of the 2nd would 
be putting It mildly. 
• 
* * Re-
garding the specific charge you men-
tion, and which you say, 
to 
quote 
your words, 'Both you and Mrs. w. 
said had not been made, and would 
not be,' I repeat, that that charge was 
not made." 
Of course it was made; 
but 
point is merely to show that I 
reasons for believing that it was not. 
Wishing for something 
that 
would 
make the case still more 
clear to 
anyone not knowing the facts I wrote 
twice again, and from my letter of the 
7th I ouote: 
"I have not looked at a newspaper, 
but it is very evident that, whatever 
you and Mrs. \'. intended, the charge 
1 of adultery was put in the bill, else 
the newspapers would not dare make 
the definite 
!>tatcment. 
Now, 
both 
because I am sure that neither you 
nor Mrs. Vv. believed any such thlng, 
and because you both gave me to un-
derstand thar no such charge would 
be made, 1 am compelled to believe 
that your lawyer made the charge up 
to suit himReiL 
As 1 said before, I 
cannot believe that you both deliber-
ately played 
me false; 
and 
there 
must be some other explanation than 
that. 
ll Is absolutely 
unthinkable 
that she wottltl •lellberately decei 
(Contlnnetl 2n p~ge_ 6.) 
(Uontinucd from page 1.) 
me· ami you !mow 
that 
I 
reste~l 
qui~l in the confidence l .~ad in the 
statcmnnt you both made. 
To tiliR I received a reply b':larlng 
date of the lOth, form which .I quote 
a few extracts, iucldentali.Y notmg that 
the "Jessie" referred to IS my former 
wife:

do not think it amounts to anythmg,

·

"Regarding the 
charge mentJOnec 
in n1e paper, 1 w!Jl say that I statetd 
definitely to the lawyer th~t no rna -
ter what circumstances mlght come 
out, 1 positively knew that there had 
heen no adultery. 
. 
"I lmow, too, that Jess1e told him

may have his own oplmon as to my 
crctlullty or foolisfiness in not ascer-

PORTANT MATTER 
IS 
HOPED 
FOR BY CITY ATTORNEY CLARK 
WITHIN THE COMING MONTH. 
Action is Delayed by Demurrer Pro· 
ceedings by the Sanitarium Attor· 
neys, and Their Objection to Judge 
North. 
\Vii h one judgment of $6,000 stand-
lug against the city of Battle Creek, 
and a total amount of about $30,000 
at stake in the contest, the attorneys 
for the Sanitarium, A. J. Mills and 
.Judge Arthur, In the 
several 
cases 
between the city and the Sanitarium, 
oypr their contested tax cases, seem 
to be devoting their e!rorts in delay-
ing a final settlement of 'the disputed' 
matters. 
The d€murrer proceedings 
recently filed by the Sanitarium at-
torneys, to the information filed by 
City Attorney Clark with the attorney 
general, will be arli'ued m the Cal-
houn circuit court, but the Sanitarium 
attorneys have entered another cause 
Ior delay, In that they object to Judge 
North hearing the arguments. 
No 
reason for this objection is lmown, 
unless it lie that North was at one 
time a partner of D. C. Salisbury, for-
mer city attorney, and who was dur· 
ing his term of office connected with 
the case. 
But for whatever reason 
the objeetion is made, it will necessi-
tate the bringing In of a judge from 
some other county to sit. 
Mr. Clark 
:,;toted this morning that he 
hoped 
that thi's could be done and the argu-
ments heard within the coming month. 
The clemuner seems to he purely a dl 
latory plea to delay matters, as even 
it' the Sanitarium comes out ahead the 
dly will at once file Bupplemental pa· 
)Jt!l'S to cover whatever Is lacking. 
Arter this 
delay is 
passed, 
the 
cabe wm he really for further action, 
and it may he expected that some time 
during the next year some definite 
decision will be reached. 
It will he remembered that there 
arc several case,; pending, on differ-
ent portions of the contest, but all 
hinged on the payment or taxes, ln-
<:lutiing suits for the repayment of the 
approximate $12,000 already paid by 
tlw Sanitarium in ta-xes, and the pre· 
vention of the city from seiling San-
ilnl'ium property to the value of the 
other $12,0VO in unpail taxes. 
Con• 
nee~d ,\dth tlu:oso auouut.J~,.il;>.the,;.in,._ 
teresl wlilclt will amount -to 
some 
$6,000 more, auu is lncreasin!f every 
day the final settlement ts delayed. 
In the ;miL, brought by the Sanitar-
ium !'or the refunding of the $6,000 
paid for taxes in 1899, it was decid-
e 
in favor or the Sanitarium, but this 
amount has not been paiti 
by 
the 
city, pendmg the settlement of the 
other suits between the Sanitarium 1 
and the c.ty on lilte matters. 
Afte1· the decision of the Supreme 
.~ Court, the attorneys for the two par-
tie!>. agreed to incorporate the entit·e 
ques£Ion 
In one case to be brought 
hy the attorney general of the state, 
to determine several vHal questiono;, 
among them being the one on which 
the eutiTe matte1· depends, whether or 
not the Sanitarium Is a charitable in-
stitution in the meaning of the state 
Jaw governing such Institutions. City 
Attorney Clarl( avers that it is not, 
!JaHing his claims on the report of 
the 
Sauitar!nm 
business 
year 
by 
year, as furn!8hed by the Sanitarium. 
'fhe Sanitarium.... attorneys of course 
talw the side that It Is such a chari· 
table institution. 
In the decision of 
the supreme court, in favor of the 
Sanitarium, the decision did not set· 
tie these Important questions, leaving 
them open to be decided in the r~­
malning »Uits. 
The only pt·ocedure which the city 
could institute to have the juclgment 
reversed, would be by a motion for 
rehea1·ing, and there Is but little prob· 
ability of this ue!ng done. 
The apparent e!rorts of the San-
itarium secure delays is puzzling the 
attorneys, for with a favorable decis-
ion by the supreme court as a pre-
cedent it would naturally be expected 
that they would be anxious to have 
all the suits settled, and that the city 
wouJd be the one to spar for time, but 
this is now exactly reversed, the city 
being the anxious one and the Sani· 
tari11m the dilatory.

to 
the 
conferenc( 
bt·ethren. You have held secret meet 
ings, attended by nnrses and helpere 
of the Sanitarium, in which none of 
the management of the Sanitarium 
were allowed to be 
present, 
after 
Brother Daniels had been informed 
1, that he coulJ. use the chapel as he 
'pleased. 
He came once only, 
and 
then stated that he could•not read the 
testimonials in the time allowed for 
the meeting but was told 
that be 
could hold as m:.my meetings as he 
chose. 
The conference brethren were in-
vited to attend the classes an<i learn 
just what 'ctocti·ines ·were being taught 
I 
01· they could take 
charge 
of 
the 
classes' themselves, 
but instead of 
this open. honest manner of proced-
ure they had chosen 
to 
holcl 
the 
secret meetings. 
What an 
example 
for these brethren to 
set 
for 
the 
young men and women to follow. 
The Sanitarium management 
kept silent and matie no opposition, 
1 but 'now, 
when 
this mischievous 
! 
work is going on right Jn the Sani· 
tarium building until late nt 
night, 
I 
when the management were given to 
understand that what was being done 
was di!'ectly contrary to the civil law, 
<! 
it was time that an open stand should 
l 
be taken against those engaged In 
-this unlawful work, as the Sanitarium 
was unwilling to be a part)' in any· 
'acts contrary to law and good orJer, 
an,l could not sanction the breaking 
of civil law to which all christians 
should 
be 
respectful 
and 
should 
''Render 
unto 
Caesar 
the 
thing!" 
which are Caesar's." They proposed 
to meet the matter openly. tor what-
ever was not as open as the day, was 
of Satan. 
This statement, like oth 
<:rs, brougnt forth 
hearty 
"amens' 
from the brethren present. 
M:oney had been raise.l and help 
and encouragement given 
to 
tbosf' 
who would consent to leave the Snm-
tarium, but EIJer Jones expressed his 
pity for -those 
to whom 
they 
go. 
'VhilQ. some of the Advt>ntlsts might 
f(~pudiate him (Jol'~A) they could not 
n~pnd• .. te the teachings of his pub 
J:sb€1l books and writings, and 
tht ' 
truths he hall taught he Hhould con· 
tinue to teach, whether o1· not he was 
~n favor with the general conference. 
Elder Jones then read a long let· 
ter to E!Jer Daniels, president of the 
gE-neral conference, which letter bad 
been sent him because he expressej 
himself as perplexed at EIJei' Jones· 
nomination and opposition to Dr. Kel-
logg and the Sanitarium. 
Most con-
vincing evidence was given to prove 
that the present difficulty was in no 
manner the result of any disrepard of 
the testimonies on flie part of those 
ft·iendly to the Sanitarium. but the 
lwy to the whole difficulty was the 
usurpation of power an,! authority by 
Daniels, Prescott and other·s, in · di· 
rect opposition to the constitution of 
the conference of 1901, which consti-
tution was formed in accordance with 
the in<;trnctions and wishes of ~Irs. 
Ellen G. White. 
By this usmpution 
of power and authority the Adventist 
church had lost twent)' years of use· 
fnlness. The monm·chy and autocracy 
diplayed was like to that endured in 
Rnssia. The great. cry of the brethren 
at Washington has been "Disloyalty to 
the Testimonies.'' In J•epeating thClSP 
worrls Elder Jones displayed his abil-
ity as &n iiUJlersonator with telling 
Ptfect, and one could almost imagine 
that it thundered. Certainly the gen-
eral result and effect ot 'the meeting 
last evening can well be compared 
thaLQ!;I Jh!Lnctflr..storm in clear

Some Fear that Words

Fire. 
1 A number of busin·ess men are get-
ting their heads together in 'the hope 1 
of meeting the nuisance created by the ; 
anti-sanitarium 
movements 
of dis-~ 
gruntled 
elders 
from 
Washington. 
Some of theS'e business m.en believe 
the time right f.or 
prosecu'tion of these' 
elders on 1\.ccount of sneeches which J 
they call incendiary. Th·ey conferred 1 
with otncials of the "san," however, 
and the latter declined to assi$t in 
defending themS'elves against fellow I 
Adventists who happen to be on 'the 
rampage. 
The particular speech to which ex-
ceptions 
are taken by the business 
men is the comparison of Battle Cr.eet<:

to burn down a few more Adventist 
instlttitions.

I 
There being no Question Umt ~ever-~ 
al •o 
tlie A<lvent~t institutions de-
stroyed by fire were set on fire, this 
feeling is only natural., 
But as these sermons have ceased 
to be so ·dangerous ann the work is 
now being don:e surrep.Utiousty among 
the medical students and nurses there' 
seems no way to g~t at the situation, 
so long as the Adventist young people 
wlll be misled by these advice!. 
But the business 
men 
are doing 
some thinking, which may ma'terialf;

EXPLAINED 
DISCREPANCIES 
IN 
MRS. 
WHITE'S "TESTIMONIES." 
Be 
Be~ 
ventist faith, was placed on a plana, 
with God, in a sermon delivered y·es· 
terday, at the Tabernacle by Elder 
Thompson, of .washington, D. C., one 
of the visiting elders ·~eferred to not 
infrequently as 
"the trouble breed· 
ers." Elder Thompson very plainly 
indiceted that the Adventists shou~d 
accept her prophesies, no matter how 
contradictoty, as. they accept the Bl• 
ble, despite its fallacies. 
E.Ider r.I'hompson's sermon was evt· 
l
dently intended as an answer to the 
recent address of Elder A. T. Jones, 
1who showed up passages in the "tes· 
timonies" where Mrs. White contra• 
dieted het·sell, the inference of many 
!listeners being that the "testimonies'' 
had been doctored by Yisiting elders 
I so as to cut out Mrs. White's mean• 
ing and instill a sentiment she did not 
intend. 
Elder Thompson took a new Jin·e, 
however, by admi.tting that the "teso 
Umonies" 
contained 
seir-contradf.c.. 
tions. But his answer was that the 
church is too unlearned to understand 
the inward meaning of such divine 
statements 
as are found; in Mrs. 
White's 'documen s. 
To sho~· his idea, Elder Thompson 
told th,e story of Abraham, who waa 
told by one vision tliat •he would be 
the father of children as numb'ertess 
ute to her "testimonies•• the same in• 
spirabou as is attribued to the Scri~ 
tures . 
. In view of the fact that Mrs. Whitfl 
has prophesied the destruction of the 
samarmm and 
other institutloiUJ in 
Battle Creel·, sueh advice as this. to 
blindly follow the "testimonies," im· 
pressed many of those present as be· 
ing dangerous. But 
no excitement 
was 
created. The congregation Us· 
tened quieti}', and then retired to 
think it over.

mother, who had been a helper in the Home: seven 
went to one community where a n1;1mber of well-rec-
ommended homes were offered.. A church of our own 
people and a well-equipped church school were among· 
the recommendations. 
The children were of ·ourse 
very happy to go together. 
In the light of the above paragraph, how much confi-
dence can be placed in the statement of an afternoon 
paper that the dear little children wept piteou~ly on 
leaving the Home. A fe 
evening ago 1 had the pleas-
ure of having friends from the Home visit me. and 
when I inquired about the crying "yarn," the reply 
I received from a '' mother'' was. " Cry, why I . t0o·l 
at the carriage as they were being placed (n it. and 
they kicked up their heels, child like. with joy at the 
prospect of going to a new place. The only tears I . aw 
shed were those of a little brother and sister, whom it 
became necessary to separate.'' 
It is quite evident that t e reporter never stood where 
that " mother " and others w o bear the same 
esti-
mony stood, and that he manu~_rctured his story 
ut 
of the whole c1oth. 
Another word, on the question of Adventists leaving 
Battle Creek. 
They are· not leaving because 
f ill-
treatment received from the citize 
. but simply fr m a 
desire to remain consi tent Christians. 
Admit. for a 
moment, what they believe to be true, that in a short 
time, in the lifetim 
of me11 a11d -.,•omell 11on• h<.'ing. 
Christ will appear the second time. sealing for eternity 
the destiny of all men, and that only those who are 
1ooking for Him will be saved at His appearing (Heb. 
9: 28). Now, in the light of this belief. i·s it consistent 
fqr them to remain in Jar e numbers in one place? 
Should Christ come to-da 
is there a soul in Battle· 
Creek who could truthfully say that his attention \Yas 
never calfed to this subject, and that if it had been he 
would have made preparation for the e\u2022ent? 
C~o<l 
desires the world to be as fuily without excuse as is 
Batt1e Creek. As there are thousands of places which 
have not yet heard that Christ is coming in our day. 
and which are in great danger of being taken unawares, 
bow consistent for God (not Mrs. White, nor any ther 
pers~ry, for the true Adventist is not a follower of men. 
but of God), by the Holy Spirit, to urge them to lea 'C' 
here, and give other p1aces the same opportunity as 
that bestowed upon Battle Creek. 
No, Mr. Editor, not because they haYe any ill-,, ill 
toward the people of Battle Creek, or because the rc-.i-
dentr are worse than those of ather places: but solely 
because impartiality (from the Adventist vi.ewpoint), 
pleads continuously that all other places have arr 
~quai opportunity to hear of and be prepared for the 
world's .tremendously important event. 
But may Go(r 
pity the people of other places i'f they make as I i'tt k: 
]Preparation for that event as do the people of Rattk~ 
(trcek. 
Very respectfully.

Elder Farnsworth, 
Aided 
by 
Local 
Man, 
Makes 
Statements 
That 
Need Jnyestlgatlon. 
A nc:w step is being taken ia the 
movement of Seventh Day Adventist 
elders who are endeavoring to drive 
members of the faith 
from 
their 
homes in Battle Creek, 
which may 
meet with action on the part of the 
·Michigan Department of Labor. 
In 
'fact, the matter has already been 
, taken up with Labor Commissloner 
tMcLeod at Lansing. 
/ Elder E. W. l1..,arnsworth, 
one of 
p10se who came here from Washing-
,ton to stir the church against the 
sanitarium and against the city, is 
ltrying to induce out-of-townAdventists 
·to provide tempting jobs for· those 
'who hesitate to leave their present 
!
positions of plenty and happiness in 
Battle Creek. In this he is having tA,e 
assistance of a Battle Creel\: man, A. 
L. Bayley. There are phases of the 
matter that might suggest a violation 
of the law relative to the migration 
1 of labor from one state to another, 
• which phases are now under consid· 
eration by Mr. McLeod, tbe matter 
\ 
having been put before him by local 
business men. 
In tne last issue of he Review & 
Herald, Elder Farnsworth says un-
\ der the heading, "Battle Creek": 
"There are many in this city who 
are desirous of heeding the 'instruc-I 
. tion the Lord lias given in reference 
I 
to leaving this place. Some of them 
have lived' here a long time, and have 
· 
.. little knowledge ·of the openings in 
other places where tbfJy may gain a 
livelihood. 
, 
'; 
) '"on behalf or these brethren an<ll 
,sist('rs ~·e wish to invite our peovlc I 
twho may know of favorable openings, i 
to write to .tbe cleric of the Battle 
Creek church, and briefly describe any; 
jsituatio 
they may 
have 
to offer. 
Write the particulars 
so that the 
ones receiving them may form a rea· 
sonably clear idea of the situations 
offered. 
"There are in Battle Creek quite a 
number of carpenters and, 
builders, 
several 
engineers

Mrs. Ellen G. White, "prQphetess" 
and leader of the Seventh Day Ad· 
ventist faith, was placed on: a pla,n·e 
with God, in a sermon delivered yes· 
terday, at the Tabernacle by Elder 
Thompson, of Washington, D. C., one 
of the visiting elders referred to not 
infrequently as ''the trouble breed· 
ers." Elder Thompson very plainly, 
indic2te 
that the Adventists should 
accept her prop•hesi s, no matter how 
contradictory, as they accept the Bi· 
ble, despite its fallacies'. 
Elder 'Thompson's sermon was evi· 
dently intended as an answer to tl;te 
recent address of Elder A. T. Jones, 
who showed up' passages in the "tes· 
timouies" where Mrs. White contra-
dicted herself, the inference of many 
listeners being tbat the "testimonies'' 
bad been do-ctored by visiting elders 
so as to cut out Mrs. White's mean• 
ing and instill a sentiment she did not 
intend. 
Elder Thompson took a new Un·e, 
however, by admitting that thr ''tes· . 
timonies" 
contained 
self..contra.di<:· 
tions. But his answer was that the 
church is too unlearned to understand 
the inward mearUn 
of such divine 
statements as are found 
in 
MrS. 
White's documents. 
' 
· 'To show his idea, Elder Thompson: 
told tbe story of ~brahamJ who was 
told by one vision that •he would be 
the father of children as numberless 
as the stars and who in. another& vis-

Is or isn't ¥rs. Ellen G. 
White, 
I 
acknowledged head of the Seventh 
Day Adventist church, a prophetess? 
Until yesterday it was generally ac~ 
cepted 
by 
the local branch of the 
I 
church' that she was not, this being 
the inference given by the famou~ 
mother of this faith many months 
ago when, a dressing a public audi~ 
ence at the Tabernacle, she said: "I 
do not claim to be 
a 
prophetess.'• 
Elder A. G. Daniels came all the way 
to Battle Creek yesterday from his 
headquarters in Washington, 
D. C., 
to tell the veople that Mrs. White 
didn't mean it as it sounded. 
Elder Daniels gathered his audience 
about three o'clock, in the Tabernacle. 
w:hich was' comfortably filled. After 
preliminary references to the scrip-
tures, and a gradual J,.eading up to. 
the point· of interest, Elder Daniels 
[handed out his refutation of the idea 
that Mr.s. ~ite is no 
pro!< etess. 
She S~! 
'I do ne-t r~aim t,o be · 
prophetess/ " aid Elder Daniells, "but 
\ 
she did not say, 'I am not a prophet .. 
ess.'" 
· 
Then Elder 
aniells explained that 
~espite Mrs. White's "misconstrued" 
statement, she is a prophetess. To 
1 prove that she really thinks she is 
in her own mind he 
read 
a letter 
written to Elder Oleson, in Australia, 
in which Mrs. White said that while 
she had not called herself a prophet .. 
ess, other people did so. 
What Mrs. White meant was that 
while she· was a prophetess, she was 
not the Dowie kind, which .writes it, 
"John Alexander Dowie, Elijah III"-
this is the way Daniels interpreted it 
yesterday. 
"Surely," emphatically shouted the 
visiting elder, "there's a prophetess 1 
within our mid t, just as much· aa 
ever in the church of God, from the 
time of Moses to the present day." 
As a wind -up, Elder Daniells read a 
new mess~ge from Mrs. White which 
he said he had received at Berrien 
Springs. He quoted Mrs. 
White as 
saying, "The Tabernacle 
in 
Battle 
1 
Creek must be in the hands of true 
and faithful m'en. But these faithful 
messengers must not make a raid on 
any man (conceded to mean Dr. J. 
H. Kellogg) or any group of men." 
To this sentiment Elder Daniells 
append eli tlis own opinion:

IF CHRIST SHOULD C01U~. 
MJl.llY people seem to think that the 
chiefPriestsand scribes of andeut Jmlea 
were cruel, intolerant, inllnman. When 
a mere boy the present czar of Hmsia 
was reading the gospels with his tutor, 
and expressed his sorrow that Jeeus 
should have suffered so severely at the 
hands of his persecutors. His tutor in· 
formed him dryly that if Jesus of Naza· 1 
reth should come to St. Peterr,bur~ and 
attempt to teach as he did in the streets 
of Jerusalem, General Gresser, who was 
then chief of police in St. Petersburg, 
would have him arrested in no time, 
and he would be sent to jail with as lit·. 
tle ceremony as was ever. shown in
1 
ancient Judea. 
The tutor of the young prince was un-. 
doubtedly right, and we may well ques-
tion if Christ would not receive the same 
treatment at the hands of the people 
in .some parts of America. If he should 
come into some church, as he went into 
the temple, with a scourge and drhe out 
the money changers and the hypocrites 
as he drove them out of the temple, 
using the same plain language, it ie open 
to serious doubt if he would not get into. 
prison in almost any city in thi8 eoun· 
try. 
We had thought that the days of per-
llecution for reHgious opinion were past, 
yet even now three upright, honest, 
Christian men are in prison in America 
for working on Sunday after having 
rested according to the commandment 
on the seventh day of the week. These 
men in the state of New Jersey have 
been sent to jail for ~0 d::\yR ench hecam 
they carried out their earnest and hon-
est convictions in regard to the Sabbatb. 
Are we, then, so much better than tl~ 
Jews who scourged Christ, put him iri \ 
jail and finaily crucified him.? 
The I 
spirit of intolerance which persef:uted l 
the protestants, was ehown by these I 
same protestantS when they in turn I 
persecnted a sect of their own faith \ 
called the puritans,wbo, as soon as they 1 
had the power, persecuted baptists and l 
quakers. America boasts of its liberties; 
of the independence and enlightened , 
toleration of its people and the common-
wealths of which it is composed. Wby 
not, then, be more like the Master, 
who said: 
'' Ye have heard that 
it was 
said, Thou 
shalt 
love thy ' 
neighbor 
and 
bate 
thine enemy; 
but I say unto you, love your enemies 
and pray for them that persecute you." 
Who also said, :'Whosoever smiteth 
thee on thy right cheek turn to him 
the other also?" This is the Christian 
doctrine; but throwing another Chris· 
tian into jail because he does not keep 
Sunday as the Sabbath is the worst kind 
of religious persecution and mtolerance. 
ThePhariseeF! and hypocrites could have I 
done but little worse. If Christ s. houldj 
come to us as he did to Jerusalem, we 
fear that he would meet but little bet· 
ter treatment even among some of his 
professed followers. _ :z..t; 5-(."

Pastor Holser, the Seventh Day .Ad-
ventist who was convicted of violating 
the factory law in Basel, Switzerland, 
by working in the Adventist publish-
ing house on Sunday, has been com-
pelled to serve his term of three weeks' 
imprisonment. His case was taken to 
the Federal court, and the report con-
tains some interesting features, show-
ing the difference between Swiss judi-
cial proceedings and our own.· Most of 
the judges expressed sympathy with 
Holser, and thought it was absurd to 
imprison a man for working in a print-
ing office on Sunday (especially if he 
observed 
Saturday), when railways, 
stores and restaurants are run on the 
first day, and there are military~ma­
neuvers and target shootings; but the 
Police Court had convicted him, fol-
lowing the letter of the law, and even 
the .Federal Court could not construe 
the latter, and say whether or not it 
conformed to the constitution; it could 
only follow literally the act of the leg-
islative government. 
It was pointed 
out, incidentally, that the French fac-
tory law left the rest day optional as 
between Saturday and Sunday. 
The 
imprisonment of the Adventist elder 
was, under the circumstances, tyranni-
cal but unavoidable till the law is 
changed as it is likely to be.

Alcott, of

of 
the

an 
interesting talk in the ·parlor 
last evening, 
his 
subject 
l>eing: 
"Sixty Year!; a Vegetarian." 
Mr. 
o\lcott s a· cousin of Bronson 
Al-
rott (father of Louisa Alcott 
and 
·me of the founders of the 
noted 
''Brook Farm '). 
He told many in-
cidents of his bo~·hood 
days 
and 
early life and attributed his present n 
good health 
to 
his 
simple life. 
c: 
Since the age of 8 years he has n~t 
hoen sick one day, or taken • any e 
medicine, and now at the age of '' 
GO 
possesses greater 
vigor 
than 
many much younger men. 
His talk , 
was entertaining and instructive. 
* * 
., 
At a recent helpers rally Dr. Kel-
logg gave a 
very 
interesting 
talk, 
qomparing the conditions at the begin-
ning of the work of the . Health Re-
form Institute, some forty years ago, 
with the greatly enlarged and much 
1-more valuable and effective work of 
tthe Battle Creek Sanitarium of to-
day. 
Graham breal1, oatmeal, dates, 
. and gem pans of those former years 
-
figured largely in diet reform. 
He 1 
spoke of the wonderful growth of the 
Sanitarium in the past forty years, 
starting as a 
simple "water cure," 1 
and stated that the year 1906 was 1 
proving to be the most successful 
year in the history of the institution, 
t 
notwithstanding the trcmenduous ef-
fort made to cripple the work, and he 
expressed the deep gratitude of the 
management to the many faithful 
helpers who had remained loyal and 
had rejected all inducements offered 
them to 
desert their 
posts. 
They 
stayed because-there was !:!omething 
to be done, and they were inspired by 
the same S!)irit as animated the early 
1 workers forty years ago. 
The work 
go~s on, in spite of opposition, and it 1 
it is the work of the Lord, man can-
not destroy it.

he had just come across a manuscr1p~,

maxims in regard to eating. 
~.few ~ 
lected at rand.om would e~h1bit theu· 
oommon senSe :and

'l'hey read v·ery mu<lh Like the max~s 
of our own oountry :-" A:lways 
be~m 
and end ~our meal with thanksgivtng 
t<> God:' r. W Mh your hands ~nd mouth

"When eat1ng, never

·our elbows upon the table, as this h-In-
ders good digestion." "Nev~r be a slave 
to your repa~:oi, ne1>er touchmg any meal

"Your meal fin.islied, use attentively the 
t.oothp1ek, gather up the crumbs, and 
wat:.'h .again vour hands and mouth." 
·· Lasuy render thanks to God." 
A paper on "Porridge," b.f ;Mr_. ,V. 
M. &'..ott. put forward the poss1b1hhes of 
this being made an even more-popular, as 
well as more appetisin~ and wholeosome 
dish. 'The rE'I!lson we d1d not have por-
ridge served in a more palatable and 
wholPsome faslJion 
was 
that people 
thought that ~o long as the water and 
moul were mixed together 1n oome< sort 
of fashion, and put on to boil, for any 
:;pace of time that m.a.r be most oon-
H·uieut, nothing 
more 
was required. 
But thm·E!-could ue no greater mistak-e, 
and, oo long us this co11c~ption was gen-
eral, "'o 
long 
would 
paste masses be 
6€lrved, a dif!:,'Taoo to the nam~ of por-
'ridge. ,and a menaoo to the health of 
th(Jse who partook of it. In m.aking por-
rid··e, Qf fir;;t importance wa.." t.he neces-1 
sit:v of having the "water boiling. In.to I 
thit:; the meal was s.l<>'!Vl:v sifted through 
tho fingers. Next in importance wa.s 
J.,1n!; CO<>king. The ohject of thi<: super-
' cooking was to change the starch mto ' 
1 dextrin, and thus 
make it easier of 
I 
digestion a~ much more wholesome. To 
ncoomnlish this, withQut tne d·anger of 
I 
~'><'orcliing the p-orri<lge, ;a double boiler 
. was almost a 
~ecessit_:y. 'J.ne porri<lge 
j was first m;tdo m the mner part, as al-
ready directcu. which was then plaood 
I 
in the outer reoopta_clo, containing boil-
ing" wat,p.r and kept ooilinc-for the re-
nuire.d time. Oatmeal required wt loo.st 
j four hours; 
when:tmeai 
an~ barley 
nhout the same; maize or honuny a lit-
tle long-er, being a harder grain. An-
other plan, and a ver:v good one, wa,s 
to fird dry or even sliJ!'Ii.tly bake the 
meal in the oven in a shallow tin. If 
this wa" done, 
le::>s 
oooking in the 
douo]e boiler would be-neoesf'lllry, an-a 
the results would be improvement. in

Points? 
, 
I have to enter th1s controversy. 
I have several hundred worl.;men 
wbo have worked and saved to buy 
their little homes. 
They pay their taxes like men, hLH 
I do not like to see them loaded down 
with increased taxes In ot·der to make 
up thousands of dollars a year that ~. 
money-making sanitarium is trying to 
get out of. 
The taxes on tbe property I own in 
Ba.ttle Creek are nearly $16,000 a year 
as the tax books show, 
therefore I 
contribute something to help along. 
This tax question is of public inter-
est and it. is right the ,people should 
know all about it. 
Our work people and others have 
been treatPd to lon:; articles in the 
papers from Dr. 
Kello~r,g seeking by 
specious argument to "explain" why 
the other property owners should go 
into their pockets to raise the 
the Sanitarium -~·efi1ses-t~ pay toward 
the support of the citt· and the doctor 
pt1ts the case h1 a w;.y to confuse th~ 
people. 
'l'herefore in order to reach a clear· 
er understanding, I desire on behalf 
of the people to ask the doctor some 
questions and I wlll pay him one hun· 
dred dollars for his time .if he will 
answer them honestly, 
in a clear, 
straightforward manner. 
1. How much profit did the' old San-
itarium company make, down to the 
time the charter expired, five or more 
:years ago? 
2. Is it not true that you did not. 
]withdraw profits in the waY. of divi-
dends, but let them accumulate fwm 
)'ear to year and when the day of set-
came to close up the affairs

From the 
Paul." 
Aoout 
ee wce}rs since there ap-
peared in a'\hcet printed in Battle 
Creek, a quite lengthy article con-
cerning Mrs. E. G. White, calculat~d 
I 
• 
to injure her reputation as an author, 
and to humiliate the Seventh-day 
ventist people before 
the public. 
tlian probable the article in this 
was somet 1ing of a succe!)s,' 
so its inspirers have had a brief 
apace in which to gloat over what 
they have achieved. 
The writer has 
never for one moment believed that 
tbe editors of the paper referred to 
fnrni~h€<1 said article bi1t rather that 
it was inspired by some recalcitrant 
D. A. himself, 
. 
As 1 have intimately lmown Mrs. 
and her esteemed husband, the 
e Elder James White since the 
l~sumni€~r of 1853. and was for years a 
er of their b,buschold, having 
been prominently connected with the 
Review and Herald fro:tn 1853 to the 
time of ils destruction bY fire. and 
haYe during this over fifty years been 
a member of the same church, and 
of 1he time an elder of that 
would be some of the 
~ons why I now say a few words. I 
And firstt in refer~nce to the book 
'Sketches from the Life of Paul;" 
This little work of 3p4 pages was not 
gotten up by the Review and Herald, 
but was written, planned ::mel printed 
at Oakland, California, in 1883. 
A 
set of the stereo plates was shipped 
to Battle Creek, and from these , a 
small edition 
was soon 
published. 
Bnt hardly had the 
covets been 
placed on the books when it wa~. dis-
coYered that an unfortunate mistake 
had been made in the publiction. 
In 
prepa,.ring the volume, free reference 
had been made in the publication. In 
but l.Jy some unaccountable over~ight, 
while numerous passages had · been 
inade use of, no credit whatever was 
given for 
the 
same. 
This should 
have been done in a suitable ac-
lmo~ledgement in the preface, or by 
ma:ks of quotation, or by foot-notes, 
or by all. 
Now what did. the publishers at 
this jtmcture do? 
They promptly 
witqdrew the voJume f~om the mar-
ket, and no more hooks were printed. 
The demand for 
them was 
great, 
very great, but the books could not be 
had. 
As an illustration of this the 
i literary helpers. 
She is the author 
I 
::>f twenty-six 
volumes, 
embodying 1 
1 some eleven thousand eight huridred l 
l 
pages, besides many 
pamphlet~s an1l . 
tracts, as well as being the writer of J 
rl articles for our papers and maga-
1 'lines almost witbOllt number. 
. In 
addition to 
this, ' Mrs. 
W. 
wntes 
thousands and tens of thousands of 
pages of counsel and. a~monit~on _for 
our medical and educatiOnal mstitu-
1
1 tions, .~mr various churches, and for 
the benefit of the ministry and laity I 
of this people that are never printed. 
If it pleases God to spare her use-

 
ft.ll life till the ~7th of next November 
ghe will be eighty years old. 
And 
it may not be exaggerating to here 
slate that. probably since apostolic I 

 
times there has not arisen a character · 
in· the church that has been more 
maligned, mi eprcsented, and mis-j 
I
! understood, than that of the now \ 
· well-1
own ~Irs. Ellen G. White. 
\ 
The recent furor in· connection with' 
1 Mrs. W's book was brought about by 
l 
he mnckrake bringing to the surface 
a matter which· we supposed was 
consigned to .the oblivion of the past. 
\u00b7The pastor of the Tabernacle congre-~ 
gation in this city took up this inci-
1 
dent, and we think' made explana-• 
tions satisfactory to those present. 
And right here the·writer begs leave . 
to state that Mrs. 
White was for 
long years a residen.t of Battle C 
.. reek, 
where she enjoyed the friendship and 
hospitality of the old-time citizens. , 
Personally with the former editors of 1

·Wooln'5u&h and Willard, the seventh• 
· 1lay Citizens ':ere on cxc:ellent terms.1 
1 There were no printed diatribes. then 
cutting and slashing priYatc reputa-I 
1l ion, and inveighing against a peace-
! loving and quiet people. 
1 The undersigned has not· a _uslf to 
~~say in condoning the en·or m the 
II book. "The Lifo of Paul;" and he 
! thinks it is better for the public to 
,I have the facts herein stated. 
But 
l his astonishment is unbounded that j 
II 
an aged public lady of Mrs. White's 1 
standing-a founder of colleges and 
c;Anitarinms. n teacher of ):ifd)teom~-1 
1\ ness, a promoter ot temperance and 
I the pubhc weal, that· she should be 
•
1

insensate attacks. But J.esus Christ 1 
1bimsolf was acc'used'or being a'glut-l

I 
Foster Df the University <>t Chicago,.whose ad-
vanced ldeas in, th~ologr published in "Tht' 
I 
Finality of the Christian R('liglon," caused 
a recent storm ot dl.sapproval among the 
local Baptist pastors. Prof. Fos1er set f<>rlh 
some of his theories· in an address on "Th• 
Modem Co!lleeptlon of God," at· the after-
noon. ses.sfon of the congress ot religions In 
Cobb hall yesterday. 
Applause greiEJted,Prof. Foster often In the 
course or his talk and the. majority o! the 
400 listeners received his id('aS' with marked 
favor. 
In th& dlscuE8ionj following the ad-
dress onlY' one stand was taken ag.f).fnst 
him. 
This was made by a co!()Ted pastor, 
tile R~w. W. H. Spees of Taylorville, Ill .• 
who declared· he was unable to reconclle 
himself to 
h~ belloef of Prof, Foster. 
God· a Consciousness. 
•• God Is tran~endent In that he can make 
things come to pass," declared Prof. Fost r. 
"Gocl must be a consciousnPss and not a 
!"ubstance. Substance has passed away. The 
conception .of him as a oonsdousness Is more 
1inal and· fuller. It is infinitely richer. God 
must be thought of as moral. 
·:To the .moder~ man God is becoming a 
bemg. ·we cannot have an unfinished exl!lt-
ence and a finished God. EJ.tt if we do have 
this God must be a living God, and if Gocl 
were living, unchanging, always equal1 it 
must be a stupid life, 'even for a God. The 
kern€! of the matter is not in the kind of 
God, but the·experience through which the 
iden. is reached. 
"All that is original, all that Is e:;sential, 
i~ Invl:<lbie. And tht. world as it has come 
from its source is invisible and transitory. 
What we caJI life and death belongs to the 
mvislble. Therefore the essence of llff?, as of 
1 
de!lth, 1s eternally hidden from man. The 
ongiu of death is the same as of life. 
Religion of th Future. 
" Religion In the future wlll consist mm& 
of science and les~· of Spe€ch. Traditions ar,e 
, rapidly perishing. 
The conception of God 
is In the process of becoming rather than be-
Ing. 
The essence of man Is the forward 
striving toward a flying goal. IdPas are the 
servants and the signboards of the journey. 
As life and experience change thE' ideas 
change. 
Thp,refore. WE' cannot f:·peak defi-
nitely of a God Idea, though we can confi-
dently of t.he conception ot the world and 
thoi'man.''

partment of systematic theology, of which 
Prof. Foster h.~ the head, and the Rev. Carl 
S. Patton of Ann Arbor, 1\lich .. also read pa-
pers during the afternoon session. The lat-
ter's stthjrct was" The New Theism." Prof. 
Smith spoke on " The Crltlcar*.?oint ln The-
ology Today." 
" '.fhe poor toiling pastor cast out of the 
pale be-cause he believes literally In the first 
~hapter of, 'GI'nesls,' " d~clare<1 Prof. Smith,

In the morning ses1;ion the Rev. E. G. Up-

churches could' accompllgh more bl" devot-
ing their mis.2ionar~' work to students on I

The faults of the college man, he explainea, 
.are that ht> Is not &usceptible to chang.e flrom

his own ideas, l.a.ch4ng in b1-a very to face 
the moral-pro.blems o! the day, losing sym-

The. following open letter has been ad~ 
dressed to the Protestant clergy by the ' 
Seventh-day Adventist ministers of Wash-

the report of your meeting held in this 
city on December 12, 1004, and the plan to 
open the new year with a campaig~ for 
the better observance of Sunda~ In the 
city of Washington, ,we wish, in the spirit 
of Christian kindness, and as brethren 
with you in the ministry, to present from i 
a Bible standpoint what to us appears 
to be the truth respecting the Sabbath l 
question, and why both Sunday keeping 1 
and Sunday legislation are wrong. 
We, with you, love tile Lord Jesus, and 
desire greatly to honor 'Him. We stand 
firmly with you, we hope, on the solid 
Notice, too, that in the making of the 
Sabbath. it Is the day, and not the instl~ 
tntlon only. that was honored. God bless-
ed the seventh day (Gen., ii:3). He sancti-
fied the da:V, and He commands us to .re~ 
member the day (Ex., xx :8). 
All this was done in Eden before the 
fall, b fore there was any sin, before 
there was any need of a Saviour from 
sin, before there were any types or sha~ 
dows. Hence. the Sabbath Is in no sense 
typical or shadowy; it is wholly commem~ 
orat!ve-a memorial of creation. (Ex., xx: 
8-11.) 
It was made 2,500 years before there was 
a Jew; so it is not the Jewish Sabbath. 
When nearly the whole world was in 
idolatry God called Abraham, and made 
11m many promises, because Abraham 
kept His laws, (Gen., xxvl :5.) 
After the children of Abraham were 
brought out of Egypt, God gave them 
manna in the "six working days," but 
none on the Sabbath, to see if they would 
keep His law. (Ex., xv1:4.) When they I 
went to seek It on the Sabbath, God ask-
ed. "How long refuse ye to keep :.\!y 
commandments and l\Iy laws?" (Ex., xvi: 
27-30.) This was a month before the law

And roasted then wtth purifying fire; 
With bitter herbs, and bread devoid of leaven, 
In haste we ate the Lord's appointed feast. 
Nor w~re the means of saving thee forgot; 
Scarce was the yearling slain ere I gave word 
For sprinkling of the blood upon the door; 
Sleep then, my first-born. God's avenging one 
Will see the signal and pass over thee.'' 
Thus on that dark night which God had ~hosen 
For passing throughout all fair Egypt's land, 
To smite on every side the loved first-born, 
Sparing not even the firstlings of the flock, 
A Hebrew father soothed his restless child; 
Restless himself, as now with girded loins, 
Sandals upon his feet, and staff in hand, 
He waited for that solemn midnight hour, 
When God's almighty arm should break the chain 
That bound his people to proud Pharaoh's throne. 
The bread unbaked was in the kneading trough, 
The scattered flocks were gathered in the fold, 
And all betokened plans for ha:.ty flight. 
There was a thrilling silence in the air; 
And quiet joy burned in the rabbi's breast, 
Joy that was not unmingled with regret 
J:"leaving thus his birth-place, though it was 
A house of bondage, for the promised land. 
The night wore on, 
And yet again the pleading voice was heard: 
"Father, sleep will not come: before my eyes 
I see the angel pass, and at our door 
Pause sadly, as though he wept to enter, 
Yet dared not hasten unavengihg by. 
0 father, if the blood has been removed, 
Or if the herd-boy heeded not thy voice, 
Then never shall mv weary eyes behold 
The land of Canaan with its waving fields.'' 
"Rest, little one; faithful our Jared is. 
Not only on the side-posts of the door 
Should be the stain, but on the one above; 
So if some hungry dog should from its place 
One token lick, the others would remain. 
Sleep, my sweet child, for thou hast need of rest; 
The journey will be rough for little feet.'' 
The anxious voice was silent; for in that home 
Obedience reigned supreme, though not as yet 
The law had sounded forth from Sinai's top; 
With patience dutiful she sought to woo 
Soft slumber to her long unclosed eyes; 
Sleep came at last, but with it dreams of fright, 
Whereat she tossed, and moaned, and oft cried 
out. 
The midnight hour drew near; unbroken still 
The darkness' solemn hush; the child awoke 
With aloud cry, "Father, I thought I beard 
The cock's shrill crow to meet the approaching 
morn. 
My heart is beating with a sickening dread 
Of danger near. Oh! take me to the door, 
And let me see the red blood aprinkled there." 
Lighting the torch the father gently took 
His first-born in his arms and bore her forth-
Started and pa1ed to see no paschal sign, 
No warning that their door should be passed by: 
the Tabernacle for the discussion of 
the church affairs. During fhe form-

"Main building full. Can give

gram the man at the desk handed to 
the telegrap}l operator at the Sap,l-
tarlum li,riday, and it was one ef st{v-
1 
eral, all of similar import which are 
go~n~ forth nowadays from the great 
bmlrhng over which Dr, John H. Kel-
logg presides, and all denoting that 
the patronage of the "San" is so 
great as 'to more than fill the accom'-
modations of the great brick pile af-' 
fords for a thou;.:;and guests. 
· 
There are now over 1100 guests in 
the Sanitarium. They rome from all 
ever America and the south and 
southwest are particularly strong in 
1 their representation. 
There isn't a 
single vacant room in the big main 
1 building, and many of the outlying 
cottages are occupied. 
The biggest 
year the institution ever had was 
last year, at which time the manage-
ment had to go outside and hire fifty 
private rooms. This occurred a little 
l~ter in the year than the present 
tune, and the indications now point to 
a duplication of the performance tbls-
Yf>ar. 
As.k:ing one in authority what this 
contmued inereased patronage, year 
after year would mean, the Enquirer 
!ll~n received an answer which was 
qmte evasive, tint further question-
ing adduced the fact, that it could 
lead to but one thlng and that-the 
building of dormitory annexes to ac-
commodate the great annual overflow 
that comes with increasing numbers 
each year. 
The conservative business manage-
or tp.e institution is natur~ 
to undertake any buifdlng Im-
prove-ments until absolutely convfnc:

In the issue of the same paper of

there 
appeared 
a 
lengthy doctrinal' article by one of the 
high church dignitaries of our faith, 
from which I quote as follows: · 
l "As Christ never kept the first day 
as the Sabbath, he has no first-day 
righteousness that he can give to any 
sinner; and as Christ has no first·day 
righetonsness that he can ever give a 
~inner, it is evident there will he no 
first-day righteonsness in heaven. All 
' first-day ke(!pingl is contrary to God's 
~ 
law, and nc~ds to lle repented of, as 
: nmrdc . adulter~·. and stealing need 
repentance; anti when forgiven, the

Controversy as to Sabbath. 
"As. all are well aware," continued the 
speaker. "there is a controversy as to which 
day is the Sabbath, the seventh or the first. 
As Sabbaths the two days stand as rival 
institutions. 
For the state to say that 
either the one or the other is the Sabbath 
is for it to attempt to settle a religious 
controversy by law. According to the law 
of God, Sunday is not the Sabbath. 
"From every standpoint, therefore, from 
which the question ~Jay be viewed, Sabbn th 
legislation on the part of civil government 
is wrong."

OPPOSE 8UNDAY LAWS 
MASS MEETING HELD :BY THE 
\ 
SEVENTH DAY ADVENTISTS. 
1 
Addresses Made by Members of the 
I 
Church -
Should Not :Be 
Political Issue. 
A mass meeting was held last evening ~n 
Pythian Temple on 9th street northwest, 
under auspices of the Seventh Day Adven-
tists, v.-ho regard Saturday as the Sabbath 
day, to arouse public opinion against' the 
enactment of a Sunday law for the Dis-
trict of Columbia. A large number of per-
sons were oresent and addresses were ma·le 
Ly several prominent speakers of the 
church. 
The chairman of the meeting was K. C. 
Russell, who spoke strongly against the 
I 
proposed measure, on the ground that It 
would be religious legislation, which is bar-
red by the Constitution. 
""'e also believe." saltl Mr. Russell, "that ' 
ne; step could be taken that would so com-
I 
! pletetv demoralize the Sabbath or any oth-
1 er-religious question as it would be to intro-
duce it into the arena of politics, and , 
• thus bring it down to the level of the most 
secular and worldly things. It would als!l 
be trailed in the dust and slime of tric·~­
ery 'and scheming by unscrupulous poli-
ticians. as has been repeatedly demon-
strated in the past. 
"But were it right to legislate upon the 
Sabbath question Sunday would have no 
' claim to it. for it h; wholly without any 
1 Bible authority, as every one may know 
I by taking the Bible. and the Bible alone, 
' as every Protestant ::;hould, as the stand-
ard for his authority." 
Mr. Colcord's Address. 
In an address on "The Logic of Sabbath 
Legislation," \Y. A. Colcord said the enact-
ment of Sabbath laws means a great deal 
more than many people think. He explain-
ed this slatem~nt as follows: 
"Legislation on the part of civil govern-
ment means compulsion. 
Sabbath legisla-
tion, therefore, means compulsory Sabbath 
observance. The Sabbath is religious. Sab-
bath legislation, therefore, means rellgious 
legislation. 
Putting the two thoughts to-
gether, Sabbath legislation means compul-
sory religious legi::;Jation. 
The Sabbath in-
stitution being religious, to establish a cer-
tain day. by law, as the Sabbath, must con-
sequently mean the establishment of re-
ligion by law to that extent at least. But 
it means more than this. 
The Sabbath is 
a sign of religion. 
Of the Bible Sabbath 
God says: 
'And hallow my Sabbaths; and 
they shall be a sign between me and you, 
that ye may know that I am the Lord, your 
God.' Sabbath legislation, therefore, mean:'! 
a religious establishment; in other words, a 
union of church and state. 
"In civil government the majority rules. 
To make the question of Sabbath obser-
vance a matter of legislation in civil gov-
ernment, therefore, means to esta.blish by 
law the religion of the majority. 
But, in 
religion, the majority in this world always 
have been, are and always will be wrong. 
"Sunday laws are needed, it is urged, in 
order that laboring men who wish to keep 
Sunday may do so without diminution of 
wages or loss of employment. But if those 
who observe Sunday need a law compelling· 
all others to observe the day, then· by 
parity of reasoning those whQ observe any 
other day need a. law requiring all others 
to observe t11at day. And the state cannot 
grant such a Jaw to one class and deny it 
to another without enacting class legisla-
tion and making an unjust distinction be-
tween its citizens. 
Savioi·'s Manual Labor. 
"Till Jesus was thirty years old, he was 
a carpenter, so we know tltat, according to 
the command, He worked at His carpen-
ter's ben~h six days (Sunday Included), and 
rested the seventh-day Sabbath. To follow 
Jesus we must do as He did. 
. 
"Jesus magnified the law; that Is, He re· 
~~=======::===========r•,vealed things In it that' had not been seen. 
Jill! 
He taught that hatred is murder; an evil 
thought, adulteryJ &c. He also magnified 
the Sabbath, a.na made It honorable by 
tearing a way the burdens placed up~n it by 
the·Jews and revealing i;n. it, by H1s acts, 
the rest S:nd blessing originally placed there. 
When accu!!ed of breaking the Sabbath, He 
responded: 'It Is lawful to do well on the 
Sabbath days;' that ls,,it Is according to 
the law. (Matt., xl1:12.)

today :ue Senmth Day Adl'('Utists and those who onee were of the same 
church; but tJu•re is no spilt in the clturch today-there is no se}laration of 
the drn01nination into factions. 
There gathered at the Tabernacle yesterday a congregation 
one in 
spirit and one in faith. What one beli?ved, an believed. The spoken word 
of the elders was to those there gathered a word of support, a word of wise 
admonition and a word from the living God. 
Naught of ·strife did they de-
sire and naught of anything save the rights of simple existence and pPr-
missi~n to live their lives in their own humble, penitent way before Him 
whose word is their law. 
Upon this simple people, therefore, how cruel it seems that the fierce 
1 excot·iations of the less godly minded should be allowed to fall. How false to 
religion and religious idea it appears to he that those who1 believing not in 
the. primal principles of a church which h:Js existed so long, should seek to 
calumniate those whose adherelice to these principles is a matter of deep-
est religious conviction. 
Tbe1:e can be no question as to the right of those who recently sevett>d 
their connection with the church to think their own thoughts in their own 
way, and whether they be right or wrong in those thoughts is not for us to 
say; but certainly they have no great right to s.eek to malign and bring in-
to disrepute those who, because of contrary ideas to .theil' own, determine

BUILDING TO BE DEDICATED 
SANITARIUM FOR THE SEVENTH 
DAY ADVENTISTS. 
Located at Takoma Park, ~d., Three 
Hundred Feet Above City of 
Washington. 
The Washington Sanitarium, located at 
Takoma Park, Md., and the property of 
the Seventh Day AdYentists, is almost com-
pleted and will be dedic.lted Wednesday 
af,ternoon at 3 o'clock with appropriate ex-
ercises. The interior furnishings have been 
put in place and the c·xtcr:or of this com-
modious sanitarium Is now receiving· its 
finishing touches. It was expected to have 
the dedication take place last month, but 
owing to the inclement weather work on 
the massive structure w:!s delayed. ·A 
number of the prominent Adventists who 
have been attending various council meet-
ings in Europe ha\u00b7e returned for the event, 
and will be present and take an important 
part in the exercises on that occasion. -
The new sanitarium Is located on the out-
skirts of Takoma Park, on a point of lima 
:lOU feet above the city of Washington. 
The front of the building faces west and 
overlooks a qeep valier, through wblch 
runs the Sligo stream. Beyond in the diB· 
tance may be seen the Capitol and .the 
"rashington monument. ·ro the east is tbe 
Washington Training College, with which 
the sanitarium is to co-operate. The sani-
tarium grounds comprise about thirty ae1·es. 
On e\u00b7ery side Is a forest of trees In great 
variety. 
• 
' Elaborate Architecture. 
The architectural work Is somewhat more 
elaborate than on "orne of the sanltar!u'ms, 
but not more so, It is claimed, than the 
location justifies. Local requirements have 
been carefully considered In the construc-
tion of the building, which are said to. de--
mand extensive verandas, wide halls and 
spacious public rooms. 
On three sides of 
the building, first floor and at the ea!'t av-
proach are wide vehandas supporte'd bY 
square piers and su1·mounted by columns 
supporting the balconY, above. Opening otr 
the west front veran · Is the foyer, with 
the business office at the left and the recep...._ 
Uon room at the right. 
Tl}Js foyer leads 
back to the elevator. stairways and treat-
ment rooms. These latter occupy the we11t 
:wing of the building. ·· The women's bath 
s on the right and the men's bath on the 
eft. 
Wide corrtaors lead to the J.eft and to the 
right from the foyer, the lormer to the 
(lining room and the latter to the parlor. 
Ott these are the waiting rooms, offices and • 
reading room. The second Jloor Is given up 
almost entirely to lndfvidual guest cham-
bf'l'S, the lounging room. over the front en-
trance and two otflceP being the exceptions. 
Tfle third floor is a~so designed for guest 
rooms, but alao provides for operating roorn 
and small ward. as well as a lounging 
room. The fOYrth flctor may be used as ..a 
ward,' and baa a number ot Individual 
rooms. 
The baseme~ accommodates the 
I 
laundry under the w-en's bath, the heat-
ing plant under the m~·s bath, the kltchea 
under the dlnlng r 
m, the gymnaslurn 
graduated from llie lnstlfuUon lfivariably 
.-1 
go into medical missionary work in the " 
surrounding islands. 
Dr. Elmer F. Otis reported the progress 
of the sanitarium at Lake J]eorge, N. Y., 
which, he said, from a small beginning has 
developed until the institution now occupies 
four buildingJ;~, worth $50,000. 
The Iowa sanitarium at Des Moines, Is 
making excellent progress, .according to the 
statement of Dr. Henry Habenicht. He re-
ported that a large amount of surgical 
work is done, the operating rooms being 
consider~d the best in that city and well 
patronized by the leading physicians there. 
A portion of the evening was devoted to 
appointing committees on regulations-and 
plans. 
Adventist Camp Meeting. 
The Seventh Day Adventists are con-
ducting a camp meeting on 12th street 
between M and N streets. A pavilion ha~ 
been erected and decorated within with 
flowers and ferns. The choir :trom Takoma 
Park and violin and piano music, under 
the direction of Mr. Henry De Fllnter or 
Cleveland, Ohio, were interesting parts 
of the service last evening. These meet· 
!ngs are announced for every night ex-, 
cept Saturday for the next two weeks. 
The second chapter of Daniel was the 
theme 
for 
consideration 
last 
evening. 
Elder B. L. House, pastor of Memorial 
Church, 12th street, delivered the dis-
course. The speaker, In Imagination, tooK 
the congregation to old Babylon. 
At the close of the service Mr. De Flinter, 
the chorister, sang some of his beautiful 
songs. 
A large and attentive audience 
were present and were very appreciative ot 
the service. 
under the parlor, with h~Prs' dining room, 
stores, &c., under the offices and waiting 
rooms. 
. 
App"ropriate approaches, Including steps 
and Inclines, are provided at the four-en·-
trances. 
The building will be heated oy 
steam and lighted by electricity and gas. 
Tile sanitarium is a mile and a quarter 
from the terminus of the Brightwood elec-. 
trlc cars and the Baltimore nnd Ohio rail-
road station. 
Superintendent Selected. 
Dr. D. H. Kress of Australia has been 
selected as the superintendent of the new 
sanitarium, and has arrived and assumed 
charge. 
Dr. l{ress Is a well-known .#,.d-
wntist, being ~onsidered by officials at the 
headquarters at Takoma Park as 6'ne' '{it 
the best qualified 
physici<;UlS to. , assume 
charge of the institution. 
His experience 
in starting an institution under similar cir-
cumstances in Australia, from which place 
he recently came, has given him a pr€para-
tlon especially adapted to the situ a tlon ,at 
Takoma Park. 
. 
In addition to the large corps of regular 
employes, a. number of r.o.ung peon.le wm 
he given training for various fields 'M use-
fulness. Nurses' courses are in progre!'s in 
connection with the branch sanitarium at 
Nos. 1 and 2 Iowa circle, and the ·wash-
Ington Training School at Takoma Park. 
'l'lle modern "sanitarium Idea" 11ad Its 
origin about forty years ago. 
A few re-
formers, believing Uun the wrong habits of 
the people were responsible for the rapid 
increase of crime and .disease, proposed to 
l
cpen an institution whe1·e the sick could b~ 
treated rationally by the empl yment of the 
: s:mple agencies of nature, water, air, exer-
l dl'e, electricity, massage and pure food. So 
successful was this enterprise that from a 
, t:rY small beginning it rapidly grew and 
c'l.evelo!Jed, until at present sanitariums may 
be found in almost every countrr In the 
world. 
· 
Along Natural Lines. 
The

ment along natural lines-according to the 
belief of the Seventh Day Adyent:sts. otTers 
the most suceessful means of comhatlng

TTpon this simple people, therefore, tiow cruel it seems that th~ fierce

There can be no question as to the right of those who recently severed 
I their connection with the church to think their own thoughtl'l in their own i 
, way, an1I whether they be right or wrong in thc::e thoughts is not for us to 11

No church ever existed in which at some time in its history a difference 
of opinion did not arise betw~eu various groups of members. Had this Btate 1 
of affair::; not been pereuuiul the entire Christian beliefs of today would be 
centered iu the worship or the Homan Catholic religion. 
An exi::;teuce of 
difference of opinion is nothing new therefore, and we !:lee it plainly trpi-
fied in a recent mo,.vement in local Christian Science circles. It was a 
slight difference of belief we understand that caused the Second Church of 
Christ, Scientist, to come into existence as an off-shoot of the First Church 
of Christ, Scientist. 
The Chmch of Seventh Day Adventiqm in Battle Cre~>k is today stronger 
than evrr. It is stronger because it is a united church. There is no sedi-
tion smothering among those who worship at its altat·, and thP,re is not fear

in Battle Creek Monday afternoon 
by train to be welcomed by between 
2.500 and 3,GOO persons, mostly school 
children, gathered at the Michigan 
Central station. 
After being taken by automobile 
to the Sanitarium, he told friends 
"that there is a great need for 
Americans to eat more fruits and 
vegetables and less meat." 
"If we strengthen our bodies by 
eating more vegetables and fruits it 
will be much easier for us to defeat 
the Japs," he said. 
Dr. Kellogg suggested to several 
local men that a ''Victory Health 
club" be formed in Battle Creek, 
with members putting into practice 
his biologic living principles. 
Dr. Kellogg. was accompanied to 
Battle Creek from 
his 
Florida 
medical institution, Miami-Battle 
Creek. in Miami Springs, by Miss 
Gertmde Estill, his financial secre-
tary and secretary of Miami-Battle 
Creek: A. F. Bloese, his secretary, 
and Mrs. C. K. Butler, his sister. 
Three members of a general com-
mittee in charge of arrangements 
for the birthday celebration, Eldon 
C. Geyer, Leroy F. Sparks and Mrs. 
V. Marie Allwardt. boarded Dr. Kel-
logg's train in Kalamazoo and ac· 
companied him into Battle Creek. 
Pleased by Reception 
The reception group found Dr. 
Kellogg taking a nap at the back o! 
the train and learned that he had 
been busy on the train dictating to 
Mr. Bloese. 
The doctor sprang to 
his feet and showed the liveliest in-
terest and enthusiasm in the recep-
tion planned for him. 
At the group's request he went to 
the front of the train, "walking the 
length or the swaying coaches as 
briskly and capably as any or us," 
Mr. Geyer said. 
When the train arrived in the sta-
tion Dr. Kellogg's pleasure was evi-
dent. 'The man who loved chUdren 
~o well that he adopted a huge family 
·of them found the platform. thronged 
with youngsters. thrilled at what for 
hundreds of them their first oppor-
tunity to see Battle Creek's famous 
physician. The news that Dr. Kel-
logg was coming at 1 p. m. had 
been spread in the schools, but no-
body knew what the response would 
be-whether hundreds would turn 
out or only a handfull. 
The doctol' appeared briefly on the 
platform, then was lost to sight of 
those in the rear ranks as he went 
to his car. 
On the train coming in from Kal-
amazoo the doctor confided to the 
visitors that he was tremendously 
excited over the party planned for 
him. 
He was manifestly at a l1ss 
to understand why the community 
was making such an occasion out of 
it. His visitors told him how the idea 
of celebrating his 90th birthday had 
captured the community's imagina-
tion and was being regarded as a 
perfect kind of a tribute to a career 
which in large part made Battle 
Creek what it 1s today.

This is No. 4. in a series of photographs of Dr. John Harvey 
Kellogg taken from 1892 to 1942. Dr. Kellogg's 90th birthday will 
be the occasion of a civic banquet here February ·26. 
Dick, an Australian cockatoo, and 
Peter, an African parrot, were, with 
the exception of his herd of deer, 
the only pets that Dr. John Harvey 
Kellogg ever had. Dick and Peter 
had the run of the Kellogg house-
hold on Manchester street and Dick, 
on the doctot's shoulder in the pic-
ture above, had the run of the estate 
as well, The picture was taken as 
Dr. Kellogg stood at the foot of the 
steps leading to the veranda of his 
home during 1915, when he was 63 
years old. Dick was pure white and 
although not as proficient a con-
versationalist as his brightly hued 
rival, was a favorite with the doctor. 
Dick, jealous by nature, usually oc-
cupied Dr. Kellogg's right shoulder 
when it was available. Flying through 
the trees of the spacious yard, Dick 
would wing his way to the shoulder 
once it appeared outdoors. Indoors 
he would sit perched for hours while 
the doctor read or studied, frequently 
talking to his master with the few 
words at his command. The more 
talkative Peter was the 
cause of 
some embarrassment to the Kellogg 
household. He could imitate the doc-
tor's voice so perfectly that he often 
fooled servants, but it was when 
telephone calls c me for the doctor 
while he was away that Peter caused 
the greatest consternation. The caller 
could hear Peter and feel certain it 
was the doctor's voice in the back-
ground and often a caller would in-
sist that the doctor was a.t home. Dr. 
Kellogg taught Pick numerous little 
tricks. When he asked Dick to whis-
per to him, the cockatoo would place 
his bill in the doctor's ear. Some 
mornings when he thought Dr. Kel-
logg had overslept, he would go to 
his bedroom and awaken him. Peter 
died of natural causes after a few 
years with the Kelloggs but Dick re-down the driveway under the portico 
mained a pet for over 35 years, a at the Kellogg home, he was struck 
friendship terminated in his untimely and killed by one of Dr. Kellogg's 
death about 12 years ago, Strut ing cars. 
People were always clamoring to 
see and hear Dr. John Harvey Kel-
. That was particularly true of 
thousands of patients and guests, 
of them distinguished, who 
to the Sanitarium. And that 
one of the principal reasons, 
with his own desire to 
closer contact with his patients. 
why Dr. Kellogg established his 
famous "Question Box." 
It was 
started many years ago and always 
been held on Monday evenings. 
. Kellogg still presides over the 
"Question Box" while here, with 
other staff doctors of the Sani-
tarium attending to the meetings 
during his winter-time absence in 
Florida. 
The above picture was 
taken during one of the "Question 
Box" periods in what was then the 
East parlor, on the ground floor of 
the old main building, during 1925, 
when Dr. Kellogg was 73 years old. 
The audience, only a portion of 
which is shown, was typical of the 
large groups that gathered to hear 
the doctor answer questions.on sub-
jects of health. 
The replies, 
of 
course, were based on his theories 
of diet, exercise and sunshine. It 
had been a tribute to sunshine and 
health that Dr. Kellogg adopted his 
style of dress, all white from head to 
toe, during the first World war, a 
style which he still follows. At 73, 
an age when many professional men 
are retiring, Dr. Kellogg, insisting 
that he grew younger not older as 
the years passed, formulated plans 
for things still to come, the con-
struction of the 15-story building 
started only years later and the 
development of a sanitarium in the 
south, to come about 1931. He relig-
iously adhered to his own doctrines 
-4\iet, lots of exercise and plenty 
of sunshine -
and enjoyed perfect 
health.

taken after the dinner commemo-
rating his birthday anniversary at 
the Sanitarium on Feb. 26, 1931. 
staff members, townspeople and a 
number of distinguished visitors 
trom out-of-town attended. Birth-
day dinners for Dr. Kellogg had by 
this time become a regular annual 
affair and he always appeared to 
take a deep delight in them, espe-
cially after he had passed 70. The 
golden jubilee celebration, honoring 
Dr. Kellogg's 50 years as head of 
the Sanitarium had been held five 
years before. 
That was the last 
public celebration in which Mrs. 
Kellogg, then married to the doc-
tor for 29 years, participated, as she 
died the year following the event.

A Proclamation 
T
WO-THIRDS of a century ago, Dr. John Harvey 
Kellogg, son of a Seventh-day Adventist minister, 
founded the Battle Creek Sanitarium and began a 
career of service to mankind that included epochal 
contributions to dietetics, medicine and surge'ry. 
Dr. Kellogg's investigations in feod processing 
resulted in the development by his brother, W. K. 
Kellogg, and by others, of a score of cereal and nut-
food products revolutionizing the diet of the nation 
and making Battle Creek the health and breakfast 
food center of the world. 
The name Kellogg since that time has been honor-
ably associated with vast county health programs, 
varied philanthropies, with progressive labor rela-
tions and with other undertakings for the better-
ment of educational, community, moral and health 
standards. 
In recognition of the irreparable debt of gratitude 
owed to Dr. John Harvey Kellogg by the people of 
the state of Michigan, and on the occasion of his 
90th birthday, I do hereby proclaim Thursday, Feb. 
26, 1942, as John Harvey Kellogg day in Michigan. 
I call upon the citizens of the entire commo~­
wealth to join with the citizens of Battle Creek m 
paying tribute to the good and useful life of ·Dr. 
Kellogg and in wishing him many more years of 
living.

Dr. Kellogg, whose life has been 
a strenuous one with many hours

Good words, words which bril·

said last night at the 90th birth-
day celebration for Dr. John Harvey 
Kellogg. 
The newspaper makes a. lengthy 
.chronicling of them today, not only ' 
I for their current interest but be-
cause history one day takes over-
'and who doub,ts that future genera-
tions will have :-. deep interest in 
the greatest Battle Creek story, and 
; in the observations of the folks who 
·lived with Dr. Kellogg? 
But the generations to come will 
not have the privilege granted those 
who gathered at the Sanitarium last 
:night; the opportunity of felicitating 
I e. man whose life spa.n en~ompassed 
the Building of a City and was it-

Words can only struggle to re-
capture that. moment of refulgence 
which came )a.st night in the sunset 
years of a great life. 
They were there as neighbors, 
I 
long time associates, employes and 
friends, and that was what made it 
great and different. 
For Dr. Kellogg found last night 
friends interested foremost, not in 
his career, not in his precepts, not 
in his plans, but in him. As one 
whose life has been spent, giving 
out his knowledge and energy to 
better the human race, he had yet 
to experience that.

ATTEND 
HIS 
PARTY 
BY MORRIS B. HIGGINS 
More than 500 persons 
gathered in the main dining 
room of the Sanitarium last 
night to acknowledge once 
mor~ the greatness of a 
small, white-bearded, bright-
eyep man of 90 years-Dr. 
Jolin Ha1-vey Kellogg, the 
messiah of good health who 
helped to make Battle Creek 
known 'round the world. 
It was Dr. Kellogg's 90th birth-. 
day anniversary and, after speakers 
and messages had praised his many 
achievements as a surgeon, scien-
tist, editor, philanthropist and hu-
manitarian, the man who founded 
the Sanitarium protested, in a 
broken voice, but earnestly, "I don't 
deserve this-I've only done what 
I wanted to do; I'd have been un-
happy if I hadn't been allowed to 
do it." 
One of the biggest dinner gath-
erings ever held in the Sanitarium 
and probably Battle Creek's most 
important test~onial occasion, the 
meeting enlisted good wishes from 
local residents of both high and low 
station and from notable visitors. 
Dr. Kellogg has been the recipient 
of such recognitions on many birth-
days, notably his 85th, and on the 
occasions of his 50th and 60th year 
of service with the Sanitarium. 
None, however, was as Large as the 
gathering last night.

one, and only one, Dr. John Harvey 
Kellogg." 
Tribute from Many 
Battle Creek's tribute to Dr. Kel-
logg was matched by personages 
throughout the nation. Messages o! 
congratulations came from such 
notables as Mr. and Mrs. Henry 
Ford, Eddie Cantor, Secretary of • 
Navy Frank Knox, Dale Carnegie, 
John 
D. 
Rockefeller, 
Jr., 
Will ,I 
Durant, Rear Admiral Richard E. 1 
Byrd, Sidney Hillman and others. • 
Throughout the meeting ran a 
spirit of admiration for the man 
who, despite adversities in early 
work, stayed with his convictions 
until he succeeded in forming a new 
health philosophy for the whole 
world. 
It was expressed by Mr. Hamilton 
in his speech. Prefacing his remarks 
by the statement that there Is but 
one Dr. Kellogg, Mr. Hamilton said: 
"His messages have reached 
land. The world is his neighbor-
hood. 
"This is a convention of his neigh-
bors. We have come from near and 
from far. 
Whether we have fol-
lowed his teachings, or not; whether 
we have gathered fruit from the 
unfenced orchard of his mind, or 
not; whether we deserve his affec4

response to a common impulse to 
honor this young man on the 90th 
anniversary of his birth.

Speaking of ;Baker's father, it 
might be mentioned that he was a 
rabid Republican. His participation 
in the Civil war led him for many 
years to the conclusion that so long 
as' the Southern secession states 
1 the "rebels," as he always called 
them) espoused the cause o! the 
Democratic party, be had no other 
choice than to be a Republican. 
When in November, 1916, his son 
cast bis ballot for Woodrow Wilson 
(his first vote, by the way), and 
thereby helped to defeat the Re-
publican candidate, Charles Evans 
Hughes, it nearly broke Father 
Baker's heart. 
With teru·s in his 
eyes he stated his life-loug political 
c1·eed, "Ncf Democrat will ever go to 
Heaven; no Republican will ever go 
to Hell." 
Healdsburg, Cal , where 
Alonzo 
Baker spent his boyhod years, was 
a town of only 3,000 population, yet 
it produced two world champion 
a.thletes: 
Ralph 
Rose, 
Olympic 
champion weight man in the ham-
mer throw and shot put, and Eddie 
Beeson, who for two years held the 
world championship in the high 
jump. During their hcydey, when 
Baker was at the impressionable age, 
he "helped" them practice daily. 
He vied with other boys in retriev-
ing the weights which' Rose threw 
and in smoothing over the sawdust 
jumping p!t for Beeson. 
Alonzo Baker was really b1·ought 
up by an older sister, who was not 
only a teacher but the author of a 
text book. 
She held that children 
should not be sent to school too 
soon and it was not tmtll "Lonnie" 
was eight-and-a-half years old that 
he started school. The day he en-
rolled he was met at the door by 
Miss Frances Case <now Mrs. E. L. 
Smith of Battle Creek), who be-
came his first teacher. 
"Lonnie" did not learn to read in 
school, but rather out of the Literary 
Digest. two or tllree years before he 
went to school. In those days the 
Digest was America's No. 1 news 
weekly and next to the Bible was 
the prevailing literature in 
lhe 
Baket• household, Not only his sis-
ter, but his mother and father were 
and in 1934o he was also made man-
aging edit r of a newly established 
magazine, 
"Health." For 
several 
years he acted as book editor of 
the publishing house-and the com-
pany issued a new book on the 
average of one every three weeks. 
Baker took time off in 1923 and 
1924 to travel in England, European 
countries, Egypt and the Holy Land. 
It was a study hour. In 1925 he 
wrote a 350-page book, "The Hope 
of the World." A translation into· 
Chinese was made in England and 
more than 50,000 of this edition 
were circulated in the Far East. 
One of the renowned scholars of 
China, now ambassador to this 
country, <Dr. Hu Shill) wrote the 
introduction to the Chinese edition. 
Baker has "ghost-written" three 
books for physicians and his small 
book agatnst Socialism, Commun-
ism and Fascism, entitled "Is the 
World Going Red?" sold more than 
60,000 copies in this country. 
While connected with the west-
ern publishing house Baker travel-
led over the whole United States. 
In 1931 he spent some months in 
Canada studying the Canadian sys-
tem of provincial liquor control. He 
c~vered ~very province and every 
c1ty of stze from Victoria on the 
west to Halifax on the east. 
Baker-has also made quite a 
study of narcotics and nl!,rcotic ad-
diction in this country, and in the 
spring of 1939 he delivered one of 
the principal addresses at the na-
tional convention of the Federated 
Wome_n's Clubs of America, in San 
FranCJsco, on the subject of nar-
cotics. 
In 1926 Baker became a charter 
member of the Mountain View 
Cal., Kiwanis club, afterward se1·v~ 
ing as preslden t. 
He transferred 
his membership to the Battle C1·eek 
Kiwanis club in the autumn of 1939 
and is now a member of its board 
of directors.

Dr. Kellogg Leaves 
For His Annual Stay 
At Southern Resort 
Dr. John Harvey Kellogg left Bat-
tle Creek Sunday evening for his 
winter health resort, Miami-Battle I 
Creek, in Miami Springs, Fla., where I 
he will spend the winter months. 
It has been his custom in recent 
years to spend each winter in Flor-
1 
ida, but he is returning to the south 1 
this year several weeks late1· than I 
usual because ot various business I 
affairs which required his attention I 
here. 
Dr. Kellogg, who is nearly 90 yea~s 
old, is in excellent health for Jus 
age. Although chairman of the San-I 
itarium board of trustees, he de-I 
voles most of his attention to his 
Florida resort which has a large pat-
ronage. 
Accompanied 
by his 
secret3:ry, 
Miss Gertrude Estill, he is makmg

and Pascoe Grenfell of Schenec-~..~~--..... 
tady, N. Y .. an4 a daughter, Rosa-
mond, of Schenectady. 
Dr. Kellogg said today on leamlng 
of the death of Dr. Grenfell: 
"The death of Sir Wilfred Gren-
fell mar'k.s the passing of another 
of the world's heroes. Dr. Grenfell 
was one of the most extraordinarily 
fascinating and lovable personali-
ties with which I have come in con-
tact in my lifetime. 
. 
"I met him first on a Michigan 
Central traih returning from Chi-
cago nearly 40 years ago. I invited 
him to visit the Sanitarium, where 
he has since been a. most welcome 
and highly honored guest. 
"In recent yeara aince his 
which he endured he had been a 
frequent patron a.t Miami-Battle-
Creek. 
"When I last met him he had so 
far recovered both physically and 
mentally that he had plans to re-
tum to the lecture platform and 
was looking forward hopefully to a 
considerable extension of his mar-
velously fruitful life, the story of 
which contains accounts of experi-
ences as thrilling and as soul-stir-
ring as any wild west tale. His life 
should be read by all.'' 
The work of "Grenfell's Parish" 
was brilliantly furthered by work 
and research done by a Battle Crel!k 
resident. 
Dr. Helen Mitchell, for 
some years head nutritionist at the 
Sanitarium a.nd Battle Creek col-
lege, went to Labrado_;rMiiniMr'llli

Many there were who remembered 
Michigan as a frontier, and Battle 
Creek as a growing village. 
The banquet, like the life the 
club members lead today, was lies-
urely, They sat down to dine at 
2:30 p. m. At 5 p. m. they were stlll 
in the dlningroom, chatting, listen-
ing to Dr. Leffler, to Dr. Maveety, 
and to Dr. Kellogg. 
Sicfuey Herzberg, the sanitarium 
guest who topped all members in 
years, was the center of many groups 
----
who heard him recall llls early life 
as a Connecticut volunteer in the 
Civll war, his six months in dismal 
Andersonville prison, and his fruit-
fUl ll1e which still keeps him

Mr. Herzberg told of an auto ac-
cident in which he suffered two 
rib fractures last year. While con-
valescing in a hospital he sold in-
surance policies to his doctor, two 
nurses and a supervisor in the hos-
pital. "I was an object lesson on ac-
cident insurance, of course," he 
said, laughing heartily. 
The last club party was given by 
Dr. Kellogg a year ago on the lawn 
o! his home. 
Dr. Kellogg called attention to the 
club motto, "Let Us Live a Little 
LC""e"." in welcoming his friends.

Supreme Court Sustains Judge 
Hatch, in Judgment for Dr. 
John' Harvey Kellogg. 
FINDING 
IS 
UNANIMOUS 
A $134,074.08 judgment against 
three former ranking executives of 
the Battle Creek Food Co. who set 
up a Chicago brokerage house to 
distribute their company's products 
and retained the commissions, to-
day had the affinnation of the 
Michigan supreme court. 
The three-Bertram C. Kirkland, 
fonner manager and director, E. Roy 
Saxton. former sales manager, and 
Frank W. LeFevre, former chief ac-
countant-had appealed the judg-
ment of Calhoun Circuit Judge 
Blaine W. Hatch who took evidence 
in the case for many weeks. 
They contended they had told Dr. 
John H. Kellogg, the company's 
principal 
stockholder, 
of 
their 
forming the Mid-States Sales Co. in 
Chicago to do a brokerage business 
in foods. They said they OI'ganized 
the business in 1928 and it was not 
questioned by Dr. Kellogg until bust.:. 
ness .slacked during the depression. 
Judge Hatch found,' that the three 
had collected and divided $96,516 
from their Chicago enterprise. The 
difference between $96,516 and $134 -
074 was said to represent intere~t 
due on the m~ney ordered repaid 
to the company. 
Dr. Kellogg had 
sued for $129,378, plus interest. 
"The one fact that stands out in 
the entire case is that defendants, 
fulltime employes, occupying posi-
tions of highest responsibility to 
plaintiff, were receiving additional 
profits from the company for prac-
tically no consideration whatso-
ever," Justice George 
. Bushn~ll 
wrote for the court. 
Committee Will Plan 
Birthday Celebration 
For Dr .. J. H. Kellogg 
Plans for a community-wide cele-
bration of the 90th birthday of Dr. 
John Harvey Kellogg February 26 
are being developed by a commit-
tee representing the Calhoun Coun-
ty Medical society, the sanitarium 
and the Chamber of Commerce. 
"We believe the case is orie where 
much depends upon the creditibility 
of the witnesses. Statements on be-
half of plaintiff are categorically 
denied by defendants and vice versa . 
Were it not !or testimony In regard 
to admissions of guilt and offers of 
restitution, we would be very much 
perplexed. 
Believed Pla.intttl's Side 
''The trial judge came to the con-
elusion that he believed the wit-
nesses of the plaintiff and not those 
of the defendant. We concur." 
Dr. Kellogg, who plans to leave 
Battle Creek soon for Miami-Battle 
Creek, his health resort in Miami 
Springs, Fla., where he will spend 
the winter months, probably will 
return here February 26 for the 
celebration. 
Earlier the court pointed out in 
1ts opinion that just telling br. Kel-
logg of the opening of a food brok-
erage house in Chicago "wa.s not 
enough" if they did not inform him 
they were diverting half of the com-
pany's 
business 
in 
the 
nation 
through their finn where they took 
a. four percent and later a three per-
cent commission which the court 
~aid was distributed in a manner 
that caused suspicion of fraud. 
The opinion was signed by Jus-
ttOe.s Bushnell, Butzel, Chandler 
Sharpe and Boyles. 
Justice Wie5t 
eo,peurred in the result. 
Dr. Wilfrid Haughey is chairman 
of the committee in charge of ar-
rangements. 
Other members are 
Dr. Bernard A. Watson, vice chair-

Asks No Thanks 
"However, I must not fail to assure 
you that I am entitled to no thanks 
and no acclaim for what has been 
accomplished here. 
A1; Victor Hugo 
said, 'An idea is the strongest thing 
in the world when its hour has 
struck.' 
I happened to be on the 
spot at such a moment and a Hob-
son's choice. 
I was a recent grad-
uate of old Bellevue Medical col-
lege. 
When the Western Health 
Reform institute, after a checkered 
career, was about to be closed, I 
was impressed into service with per-
mission to reorganize the institu-
tion and place it on a scientific; 
basis. 
"A new era had begun. Natural 
methods were coming Into recogni-
tion. 
The old medical cults had, 
like the gods of the Parthenon, de-
stroyed one another and rational 
medicine, announced by Dr. Jacob 
Bigelow in his 'Paradise of Doctors' 
and Oliver Wendell Holmes in his 
'Rip Van Winkle, M. D.' was being 
ushered in in time for a new de-· 
velopment and Battle Creek hap-
pened' to be the fortunate place 
where i 
taTted and I atJd ~ 
leagues had the gOod luck to be on 
board wh~n the ship was lltunehed. 
"But Battle Creek. was not the 
only place at which the new flame 
was lighted. 
·There were many 
other centers, especially in Europe. 
"If Battle Creek has prospe1·ed 
more than other centers, it is be-
cause of the advantages it has en-
joyed m being located in a •bea 
<:lty, the cordiality and friendliness 
of its citizens and the great number 
of able, faithful, loyal and coopera-
tive men and women who !or more 
than half a century toiled harmoni-
ously together to make the institu-
tion a center of light and hope and 
healing to multitudes of suffering 
and despairing men and women. 
Without the self-sacrificing sym-
pathetic cooperation of the thou-
sands of men and women who have 
participated in the work little per-
haps nothing could have been ac-
complished. 
A New Road 
"The road we have traveled over 
has been much of ·the way a new 
one. Mistakes have been inevitable, 
but human service and the welfare 
of humanity, the betterment of the 
human race are great goals that 
have been kept in view, and in spite 
of the fact that the individual 
characteristics of the place gave to 
it e. certain monopoly which justi-
fied the use of the term The Battle 
Creek system, this was long ago lost 
through the great popularity at-
tained by physiologic methods of 
treatment, 
especially 
since 
the 
World War I." 
Dr. Kellogg concluded by saying 
that although Battle Creelt once had 
BATTLE CREEK, MICH., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 190 
before Dr. Kellogg was a large bas-

Sanitarium employes, and behind 
him was a vase of iris, gladiolus and 
white carnations-in a red, white 
and blue color scheme-the gift ot 
Miami-Battle Creek employes. 
The speaker's table was decorated 
with three flat floral pieces, set in 
moss. The middle one was of blue 
Iris and the ones at either end were 
yellow. These pieces were especially 
prepared by Charles Vandervoort. 
veteran Sanitarium florist. The ban-
quet tables were done in pastel 
shades of spring flowers, the ar-
rangement utilizing daffodils, snap-
dragons, roses and iris. 
The feeling of Sanitarium em-
ployes toward Dr. Kellogg was evi-
denced in several ways, among tnem 
the birthday presents and a large 
birthday cake, which was set be-
fore the doctor 
and its candles 
lighted. 
Mrs. Sally Montgomery, dining-
room hostess, said that many for-
mer Sanitarium waitresses volun-
teered their services for the ban-
quet. 
"Some were there who h~d 
worked at the Sanitarium as long 
ago as 1916," Mrs. Montgomery said. 
"Most of them called and asked it 
they could work because it was Dr. 
Kellogg's dinner." 
The menu served at the banquet 
included a fruit plate, stuffed pro-

On this, your happv 
Ninetieth year. 
Dr. E. H. Risley, dean o! the Col-
lege of Medical Evangelists, from 
Lorna Linda, Cal.-! worked under 
the doctor's · dfrection fOr to years 
and have alwa.ys held him in very 
high regard ..•. I think it is won-
derful how the doctor has stood up 
under the tremendous load of work 
he has carried for more than half 
a century. To me it is a great tri-
bute to the health reform principles 
which he has lived and advocated 
for more than 60 years. . • . 
Dr. Henry F. Vaughn, University 
o! Michig-an school of public health 
from 
Ann Arbor -
Today your 
friends honor you on 
your 
90th 
birthday. 
They pay tribute to one 
whose broad vision gave birth, yea.rs 
ago, to a concept of health which 
has led to a more wholesome, more 
enjoyable and more useful life for 
all mankind. I well remember the 
early days when you and my father 
struggled to improve health condi-
tions in Michigan and were ably 
assisted by Dr. Henry Baker, a true 
pioneer in the field of health educa-
tion.

An 
interested 
participant in 
Thursday night's dinner for Dr. 
John Harvey 
Kellogg, a woman 
who watched all the proceedings 
with a keen eye, was Mrs. Mary E. 
B. Smith of 96 Kalamazoo, who 
has known Dr. Kelilogg ever since 
he came to Battle Creek to begin 
his medical work. 
Mrs. Smith, who will be 96 next

Mrs. 
Smith,

age of 20. "At that

MARY SMITH was ill so much, my 
family didn't expect me to live for 
many years. 
I was raised on a

foods, with plenty of meat nearly 
every day. 
I decided my headaches 
might be due to meat, so I stopped 
eating it. 
Tl1e headaches disap-

Through the influence of 
Dr. Kellogg I soon began to learn 
to substitute other protein foods in 
order to balance my diet. Today,

Dislikes Thought of Meat 
Even the thought of eating meat 
today is repulsive to Mrs. Smith. 
"Every time I see a well-cooked 
steak, I think that if it were not 
for meat eating, the animal that 
steak came from would be enjoying 
life just as I 
enjoy living," she 
stated.

Dr. Ross is now writing his 27th 
book on sociology. His wife, whom 
he met 14 years ago when he was 
attending a race betterment con-
ference at the Sanitarium, is a niece 
of the late Henry Waterson, founder 
of the Louisville Courier-Journal. 
She is acquainted with many famous 
persons and recently has been 
sisting with great success in 
nation-wide camwign to sell 
fense bonds. 
While in New.York last November, 
Mrs. Ross joined one of several teams 
of prominent persons who were con-
testing to see who could sell the 
most defense bonds. In 16 hours, 
she sold $500,000 worth of bonds by 
direct solicitation among friends 
and acq-uaintances. 
Dr. and Mrs. Ross left the Sani-
tarium Saturday afternoon to return 
to their home in Madison, Wis. 
Of Dr. Kellogg, Dr. Ross said, 
"He is a wonderful combater of 
disease, but I feel that one of his 
greatest contributions to the worlci 
is his teachings on how to keep well. 
There is no danger of going too far 
in praising him for his great work.'"

Dr. I ellogg Suggests Point Rationi11g AI w 
Extra Vegetables to Those Who Eat No Meat 
One gift that Dr. John ::EJarvey 
Kellogg would appreciate for his 
9lst birthday next Friday would be 
news 
from 
Price 
Administrator 
Prentiss M. Brown that those who 
discard meats of all kinds from 
their diet may receive extra allow-
ances of fruits and vegetables un-
der the point ntioning program to-
start March 1. 
As medical superintendent of the 
Sanitarium, Dr. Kellogg has written 
to Mr. Brown at Washington, mak-
ing inquiry as to what provision will 
be made under food rationing to 
provide for those who do not eat 
meat. 
During the registration for ration 
book No. 2 all this week, all appli-
cants will receive stamps for meat 
rationing whether or not they eat 
meat. 
Some 
vegetarians 
believe 
that study of the program could 
result in a plan for issuing added 
fruit and vegetable rations upon 
surrender of the meat coupons. 
"As you doubtless know, the die-
tary program of the Sanit~riwn is 
what is known as low protein," said 
Dr. Kellogg in his letter to the new 
OPA chief. 
"Flesh meats of all 
kinds are discarded for the 1·eason 
that their use involves .a very ex-
cessive intake of protein, which Im-
poses an enormous increase of work 
on . the kidneys. 
The same sharp 
limitation of the protein intake is 
highly necessary in cases ot high 
blood pressure and numerous other 
chronic ailments. It is for this rea-
son l:.hat all sol't.s ot me ts aJ' 
dis-
carded. 
"It under the point rationing pro-
gram it develops that the energy 
value of flesh meats and and the 
non-flesh foods 
is approximately 
equal, then dietaries which elimi-
nate meat altogether would nave 
only half the value of one which 
included meats. 
"I wish to inquire in what way, 
1f any, the danger of under-feeding 
from this source might be avoided. 
It would seem that persons who 
eliminate meat from their dietary 
I 
might w1der some circumstances 
find their diet reduced to a level not 
consistent with good. nutrition and 
I physical efficiency. 
/ 
"We are also concerned as just 
1 how our guests and employes may 
be provided for under this program. 
:u you can give us any helpful in-
formation or suggestions in relation 
to this matter, it will be very great-
ly appreciated." 
, 
In some respects, Dr. Kellogg be-
lieves, rationing of food may be a 
I 
good thing for everybody. · A stu-
dent of dietary problems for nearly 
70 yea1·s, he says "nearly everyone 
€ats too much." 
Dr. John Harvey Kellogg's step 1s st1ll springy as he nears his 9lst 
bii·thday next Friday. Unable to bicycle under the Florida palms this 
winter as he did last (above), he now runs a half-mile eyery morning 
around the sleeping porch of his home on Manchester street, in shorts 
and with all windows open. That's better, anyway, he says. "Cold air 
is three times as healthy as hot air," he says, ·'and we have lamps now

Dr. Durant, speaking on one 
pleasantest of the winter afternoons 
in the Sanitarium Outdoor Patio, ad-
dressed his talk to "Angels in Heav-
en," as a compliment to the beauty 
of the place. 
He told in broad outline something 
of the story of racial evolution and 
western migration from Asia across 
Europe, the Atlantic and the United 
States or America; and of the ab-
surdity of claims of racial purity by 
any peoples, German, Hebrew, Eng-
lish or any other. All have mixed ra-
cial ancestry; even the characteristic 
hooked nose of the Jew probably be-
ing the result of an early infusion 
of Chaldean and Syrian blood into 
the 
Hebraic race, who 
originally 
probably had straight, not 
aquiline 
features, Dr. Durant asserted. 
History, he said, should be, not

the story of a thousand battles that 
settled nothing, but the 
steps by 
which men pass from savagery and

Dr. Kellogg Finds 
9lst Birthday Is 
His Happiest Yet 
Dr. John Harvey 
Kellogg'~ 91st 
birthday Friday was the happ1est he 
has ever had, he declared today. 
He said ·he now is feeling better 
than he bas in year~ and added that 
the Sanitarium is in "a better ~on: 
clition to serve the cause of sCien-
tific living than ever before." 
"A physician is like a signboa~d," 
Dr. Kellogg remarked. 
"He pomts 
the way for other people to follow, 
but does not always follow it him-
self. I realized not so long ago that 
I was like that. I was so busy ry-
ing to show other people the right 
way of living that I neglected my 
own health. 
I have been indoors 
too much and have not had enough 
exercise under the stimulating rays 
of the sun. Consequently, of late I 
have been devoting more of my time 
to myself and have been getting out-
of-doors more. It has made a great 
improvement in my physical con-
dition." 
Dr. Kellogg remarked that one 
reason for his happiness was the 
announcement this week of the ap-
pointment of Dr. Henry C. Sher-
man of Columbia university as 
chairman of the government's bu-
reau of nutrition research. 
Dr. 
Sherman is a close friend of Dr. 
Kellogg and is regarded by Dr. Ke~­
logg as one of the leading authorl-
ties in the country on nutrition. 
The dof.tOr expressed the hope 
today that· Battle Creek people 
would turn more whole-heartedly to 
the practice of biologic living and 
that the city would become known 
as one of long-lived and healthy 
citizens, leading the way for world-
wide adoption of scientific principles 
of living. 
"More than 75 years ago I started 
out to find the right way of life," 
he stated. "I have found that there 
is a right and a wrong way and that 
if people would follow the right way, 
the way of God and of science, they 
would be happier, healthier and the 
world would~be at peace." 
Dr. Kellogg spent Friday busy at 
his desk. 
Gifts were showered on 
him by patients at the Sanitarium, 
associates and friends, but he asked 
that no celebration be carried out. 
Messages of congratulation came to 
tjm from the Chamber of Com-
merce, the city, the Three-Quarter 
Century club and other organiza-
tions, from friends and former as-
sociates hroughout the country.

Six Defendants 
File Answe~ to 
Dr. Kellogg Suit 
Ask Dismissal of Injunction Ac-
tion and Challenge Doc-
tor1s Own Position. 
SAN CONTROL STILl ISSUE 
An answer to 
r. John 
Harvey Kellogg's injunction 
suit, by which he brought an 
abrupt halt to the contro-
versial annual meeting of 
the Battle Creek Sanitarium 
& Benevolent association on 
April 2 and forestalled what 
he charged was an attempt 
by the Seventh-day Adven-
tist church to seize control 
of the Sanitarium, has been 
filed jn the Calhoun county 
circuit court. 
Coupled with the answer is a 
m.otion to dismiss the suit, which 
Will be argued before Judge Blaine 
W. Hatch at Marshall Saturday. 
Six defendants joined in the an-
swer and motion to dismiss. 
A 
!�mber of other defendants named 
by Dr. Kellogg remain to be heard 
from and it may be that they will 
not defend the action. 
The defendants w'ho answered 
are Elder W. H. Branson, a general 
vice president of the General Con-
ference of Seventh-day Adventists; 
Dr. Charles E. Stewart, a former 
president and director of the Sani-
tarium; Elder Taylor G. Bunch 
president of the Michigan Adventist 
conference and a fom1er pastor of 
·the Battle Creek tabernacle; Dr. 
Rowland H. Harris, Battle Creek 
physician and a 
truste~ of the 
Sanitarium; Elder J. J. 
~~ethery, 
president of the Lake Union con-
ference of the Adventist church 
and Dr. H. M. Walton, medlcai 
suwtntendent of the Adventist 
Oeneral conference.

at a meeting of the constituency

the night of April 1, the legality of 
which was challenged by Dr. Kel-
logg. 
Defend ElectiQn 
While Dr. Kellogg charged In his 
suit that the Adventist general 
collference, "combining and con-
spiring with others . . . conceived 
and put into effect an illegal and 
fraudulent plan to gain control of 
and dominate the business and as-
sets of said association (the Sani-
tarium) through the expenditure of 
money to cause election of a board 
of trustees of its own selection and 
choice," the six defendants deny 
any sinister motive and aver that 
all their acts were "proper, legal 
and performed in the utmost good 
faith and for the best interests of 
the association, for the sole pur-
pose of advancing and carrying out 
the original purposes of the asso-
ciation." 
The defendants do some chal-
lenging of their own, denying that 
Dr. Kellogg is the lawful president 
of the Sanitarium at this time and 
contending that "he is only main-
taining his position because of the 
injunction which he has obtained 
in this suit for the purpose of pre-
venting the lawfully elected trustees 
from organizing, selecting any of-
ficers, and assuming control of the 
affairs" of the Sanitarium "in a.c-
cordance with the statutes •.. " The 
six charge that Dr. Kellogg him-
self has dominated the affairs of 
the Sanitarium for many years and 
still aspires to do so. 
Injunction Attacked 
They ask for dismissal of the in-
junction suit for these alleged rea-
sons: 
(1) That the Battle Creek Sani-
tarium ·& Benevolent association, 
which appears with Dr. Kellogg as 
. co-plaintiff, has not been authoriz-
ed by its board of trust.ees to Insti-
tute such action; 
(2) 
That Dr. 
Kellogg i~ without interest in the 
cause of action because he has not 
bren deprived of any office; 
13) 
That all matters upon which relief 
is sought have become moot ques-
tions. 
(4) That Dr. Kellogg's amend-
ment to the bill of complaint seeks 
by process of the court to interfere 
with the internal management of 
the San corporation, which is not 
within the jurisdiction of a court 
of equity; 15) That the Sanitarium 
has no interest in the controversy 
and is entitled to no relief there-
under; (6) that the bill of com-
plaint does not show that the court 
has jurisdiction of the parties and 
the cause complained of. 
(7) That the bill does not show 
& cause of action in equity for the 
reason t.hat the plaintiffs have a. 
complete and adequate remedy at 
law, and, (8) that the bill is filed 
primarily for the purpose of main-
taining Dr. Kellogg and his asso-
ciates in office as counter-opposed 
to the trustees elected at the "regu-
larly and lawfully conducted an-
nual meeting pursuant to notice 
duly sworn," and the sole remedy 
of the plaintiffs upon allegations 
set forth in the bill as amended, is 
an action quo warranto.

at which time a group of more than 
100 members reassembled and. in 
the absence of Dr. Kellogg, chose 
another chairman and secretary and

dants further claim that the ab-
sence of Dr. Kellogg, tl}e secretary 
and inspectors of election from the 
5 o'clock meeting "was part of a

It is one of the principal conten-
tions of the defendants that a meet-
ing held late in the afternoon of 
April 1, at the Sanitarium, was a 
propei· meeting of the Sanitarium 
membership and that a board of 
trustees elected then was properly 
elected and should be allowed to

tary, Dr. Emil Leffler, Bw·l'itt Hamil-
ton, George C. McKay, treasurer, 
Dr. Richard M. Kellogg and I¥· 
James T. Case of Chicago. 
The defendants argue that Dr. 
Kellogg's first injunction, 
served 
earlier on the afternoon of April 1, 
did not restrain continuance of the 
annual meeting, which began the 
day before, but simply enjoined the 
Adventist general conference and 
Elder Branson from participating in 
it.

)Vhich led to receivership and re-
organization under section 77B of 
the national bankruptcy act and 
still later to the sale of its main 
buildings to the government for use 
as an army hospital, to poor busi-
ness judgment on the part of Dr. 
Kellogg and "the ambitious build-
ing program which he forced upon 
the association." 
The answer for the defendants 
was filed by Byron L. Ballard of the 
Conference of Seventh-day Adven-

INJUNCTION IS CONTINUED 
Three former officials of 
, Dr. John Harvey Kellogg';-;

found "guilty of fraud" and 
ordered to pay the company 
upwards of $130,000 in a 
finding filed in circuit court 
here Friday afternoon by 
l
Judge Blaine W. Hatch. 
The finding was a decision In Dr. 
Kellogg's suit against Bertram C. 
~~. former general manager 
of ~he firm, E'. Ro 
axton, 'former· 
sales manager, and Frank W. Le-
Fevre, former chief accountant, to 
recover funds which 
he 
charged 
I 
were misappropriated. 
Judge Hatch also continued a 
temporary Injunction, issued when 
the suit was started in 1936, re-
straining the defendants !rom dis-
posing of any property acquired di-
rectly o~· !ndb:ectly by use of funds 
of the Battle Creek Food Co. until 
they account for the sum mention-
ed in the finding. 
Converted $96,516 
The judge found the defendants 
converted to their own use a total 
of $96,516.33, representing profits 
from their operation of Midstates 
Sales, e. Chicago brokerage business 
dealing exclusively In Battle Creek 
Food Co. products.

WINS AWARD 
OF $129,731 
Three Former Officials Of 
Company Held Guilty 
Of Fraud. 
Circuit Judge B'lalne W. Hatch, 
In a finding handed down late Fri. 
day afternoon, held three former 
officials of the Battle Creek Food 
company 
guilty 
of 
fraud 
and I 
awarded the company damages of 
$129,731.58. 
The verdict, directed against Ber· 
tram c. Kirkland, former general 
manager of the company; 
E. 
Roy 
Saxton, former sales manager, and 
Frank W. LeFevre, former chief ac· 
i::ountant, was one of the largest on 
record In clrcu,lt court here. 
The judgment was specifically 
in the amount of $96,516.33, repre· 
senting sums which Dr. John ·Har· 
vey K:ellogg, president and sole

trio through the operation 
of 
a 
dummy brokerage, Midstate Sales 
company, in Chicago, handl!ng the 
company's products over an eight-
year period without his knowledg 
and charging a four per cent com 
mission. Interest charges computed 
at five per cent bring the total to 
nearly $130,000.

She said that not only were many 
war workers going without adequate 
breakfasts-"some of them nibble 
on a chocolate bar in mid-morning" 
-but many were eating inadequate 
lunches, often because of insuffi-
cient lunch room facilities or their 
failure to carry lunch. 
Some workers, she said, have been 
forced "to the extreme o! eating 
crackers and doughnuts or a bag of 
salted peanuts and a bottle of pop." 
Dr. Mitchell asserted that in-
dustries lacking proper facilities 
should educate nearby restaurants 
to urnish adequate food. She said 
homemakers should take advantage 
of nutritional courses offered by the 
Red Cross and other groups in com-
munities throughout the country. 
Dr. Robert S. Goodhart, technical 
adviser on industrial nutrition to the 
U. s. public health service, told the 
association that many war workers 
were inadequately fed as judged by 
modem food standards. 
He said a survey of 1,100 workers 
in southern California showed that 
87 percent failed to receive the diet 
• recommended by the food and nutri ... 
tion board of the national research 
council. Fifty-five percent of their 
diets, he said, were poor in green 
and yellow vegetables, nearly half 
were deficient in citrous fruits or 
tomatoes. and about a third were 
poor in milk and a fifth 1~ eggs.

Lease-Lend Soup for Arabs 
How Dr. Helen S. Mitchell, one-
time professor of nutrition and head 
oj nutrition research at Battle Creek 
college, is now carrying on her work 
in vaster fields connected with win-
ning the war on jar fronts is told 
in this article from a recent issue 
of the New York Times. It was 
written 011 Nancy MacLennan. 
I 
WASHINGTON-Arabs of North 
Africa are malting "lend-lease soup" 
taste like their favorite "Kuskus,' 
or "couscous," simply by adding a 
small amount of available native 
foods to the dehydrated basic soup 
stock shipped by the United States. 
Similarly, other foods will be trans-
ported, then transformed to suit the 
tastes of more peoples to be freed 
bv the United Nations' armies. ac-
cording to Dr. Helen S. Mitchell, 
new chief nutritionist in the office 
of Foreign Relief and Rehabilitation 
Operations in the agency headed by 
former Gov. Herbert H. Lehman of 
New York. 
The program of supplying food 
to the "liberated" peoples of the 
"\ar theater opens in Tunisia and 
will be expanded to do "a relief job 
wherever the second front gives us 
an opportunity," Dr. Mitchell de-
clared today. 
A biochemist, she 
!onnerly was principal nutritionist 
in the Office of Defense Health and 
Welfare Services. Prior to that she 
was research nutrition professor a,t 
Massachusetts State college. 
Her surveys show what particu-
lar foods are available in the re-
habilitation areas themselves, in 
near-by places where supplies' can 
be obtained and in the United 
States. Then she suggests for ship-
ment certain basic nutritive foods 
which would require little in the 
way of preparation to make them 
palatable. 
She is working closely with the 
personnel division of the agency on 
tlie question of selecting nutrition-
ists who later might be sent on 
overseas duty to educate foreign 
women in the preparation ' of the 
food stocks supplied. 
In general 
the problem is one of finding means 
to make the United Nations' avail-
able food supply as normally ade-
quate a.s possible and acceptable to 
tastes. Much research done in nu-
trition in recent years is now being 
applied and this, in turn, means 
t..l'iat many peoples are being more 
scientifically fed than ever before. 
despite food rationing and military 
and foreign commitments. 
Cereals Predominate 
Because 
cereals 
are 
relatively 
plentiful, they will be provided as 
a basic food, Dr. Mitchell said. 
However, they will have to be sup-1 
plemented with proteins, vegetable I 
sources, beans, peas, soybeans, dry 
milk, cheese and limited amount-s 
of fish and meat. North Africa is 
comparatively low in proteins, fats 
and oils right 11ow.

~600,000 Sought 
In Food Co. Suit 
Battle Creek Food Co. and 
Battle Creek College Are 
Co-Defendants. 
A law suit involving an estimated 
$600,000 or more in royalties on 
products manufactured by the Bat-
tle Creek Food Co. has been filed in 
Calhoun county circuit court. Much 
of the money, it is alleged, was in 
property used in financing Battle 
Creek college. 
The plaintiff Is the Battle Creek 
Sanitarium Food Co., a little-known 
non-profit corporation which owns 
patents and trade lghts on numerous 
food processing formulas. The Bat-
tle Creek Food Co, Rytd Battle Orllek 
college are co-defendants. 
The Battle Creek Sanitarium Focxl 
Co., which was organized in 1898, 
has no direct connection with the 
Sanitarium and the Sanitarium is 
not concerned in the suit. 
Stated 
purposes of the Sanitarium Food 
Co., are to promote biologic livin!; 
Besides her duties as president, 
Miss Barber will preside over an 
open general meeting the night of 
October 22, for which the program 
will Include a talk by Dr. Mitchell 
on "Dietary Fads" and one by Ida 
Jean Kain, formerly of Battle Creek 
and now writer of the column, 
"Your Figure, Madame!" Miss Kain 
will tall!: about "Gilt Edged Sl!m-
ming."

Co., is owned largely by Dr. John 
Harvey Kellogg, founder of the cot-
lege. 
Another of the many talks to be 
given at the convention will be one 
by Miss Edith M. Barber, sister of 
Miss Mary Barber and a frequent 
visitor In Battle Creek. She is edi-
tor of the New York Sun food col-
umn and w1JJ talk about "Food 
Through the Centuries." She also 
w1ll preside over the convention's 
publicity llUlcheon. 
Miss Lenna F. Cooper, fonner 
dean of the Battle Creek college 
school of home economics and now 
chief of the department of nutrition 
in Montefiore hospital in New York 
City, will preside at a. symposium on 
personnel the evening of Monday, 
October 21. 
In fact, .Battle Creek will be well-
represented at the convention as 
many of the association members 
had their training in dietetlca at 
Battle Creek college. 
The association, of which Miss 
Barber becomes president, has a 
membership of more than 4,000 
women holding dietetic positions In 
institutions, colleges, business and 
government. 
Miss Barber 1s home economics 
director of the Kellogg Co. 
She graduated from Drexel in-
stitute in Philadelphia and started!,.....:.---==-..; 
her career as dietitian In a Penn-M 
sylvania hospital. Later she taught , ay 
in Philadelphia and then when the I 
United States entered the World 
war >~ihe was one of the first to 
1 II 
answer a call for home economists ege 
to show women how to conserve 
food. By the time the war was over 
she had received her degree from 
Columbia university and then for 
the next tbree years was an Instruc-
tor In foods and cookery in Teach· 
ers college, Columbia university. 
When Miss Barber joined the 
Kellogg Co., 
commercial 
home 
economics :was In Its Infancy, but 
now it has· advanced until she can ogg inteflds 
turn her a.tte tlon from showing ek college, 
people how to eat to instructing the ' related to 
housewife how to buy. Her present 
efforts are in the field of consumer 
buying. 
As head of the American Dietetic 
association, Miss Barber faces a dif. 
flcult task. 
Organized during the 
World war to meet an emergency 
situation, the association,. now :n ; he said.

The date for reopt-ning was not re-
vealed in the message. 
Employes of the Battle Creek Food 
Co. have been making various re-
pairs to the college buildings in re-
cent weeks, particularly the library 
building. 
The food company is 
owned by Dr. Kellogg. 
It was pointed out her last night I 
that. !he kind of college Dr. Kellogg 
has m mind would 'be less expensive 
to operate than t.he liberal art. eol-1· 
lege which be clos-ed in 1938 because . 
of his inability to make adequate 
provisions for its maintenance. 
It also was conjectured that he 
may have obtained additional sup-
port from other persons interested 
in health education. 
The new college's curriculum plans 
were not made knCiwn but were be-
lieved to call for teaching physical 
education, nursing and dietetics. 
According to the bill of complaint, 
an agreement was reached between 
the two food companies in 1924 un-
der which the Battle Creek Food Co. 
leased the right to use for 99 years 
t~e formulas, trade names and good 
Will of the Sanitarium Food co. 
In payment, the Sanitarium Food 
Co., was to receive 10 percent of tbe 
annual net operating profit of the 
Battle Creek Food Co., and in ad-
dition, 10 percent of the re~aining 
90 percent afte1· deductions had 
been made for plant expansion, lm-
inv'est.iga.ti~ provements and reserve. 
TI1e Sanitarium Food Co. claims 
that it has not been paid a·bout 
$125,000 of its rightful revenue from 
the Battle Creek Food Co., earnings 
IL.....Yl.llJl.e...l.llflll...IIJ.:...Ml:be<:a.use of certain 
"unreasonable 
deductions" made for plant expan· 
sion, improvements and reserve. 
Three-fourths of the royalties 
which the Sanitarium Food Co. was 
to receive from the Battle creek 
Food Co. were to be paid to Battle 
Creek college, also a non-profit cor-
poration, ()n the condition that It 
would be operatea as an educational 
institution devoted larrely to the 
teaching of dietetics and biologic 
living, the complaint states. 
It is alleged that the college de-
parted from these principles within 
a. few years after the agreement 
went into effect and that the col· 
lere was teaching largely l!beral 
arts subjects at the time it sus-
pended in 1938. The pla.lntlff seeks 
to recover royalties devoted to the 
college during the years It allegedly 
departed from the principles 
set 1 
forth. 
The plaintiff further alleges that 
the Battle Creek Food 
Co. 
paid 
three-fourths oi the royalties due I 
the Sanitarium Food Co. directly 
to the college in 1939 and 19-ID in-
stead or following a previous pro-
cedure whereby payments to the 
college were made through the Sani-
tarium Food Co. 
T)le remaining one-fourth of the 
royalties due in 1939 and 1940 werllt 
tendered to the Sanitarium Food 
co. by the Battle Creek Food Co., 
but were refUsed, It Is alleged. 
Tthe Sanitarium Food Co. asks for 
an accounting from lboth the .Battle 
Creek Food Co. and Battle Creek 
college. It Is estimated that funds 
paid to the college by tbe Battle 
Creek Food Co., and claimed by the 
plaintiff, total approximately $500,-
ooo. 
Trustees of the Sanitarium Food 
Co. are Dr. Charles E. 
Stewart, 
president, Alfred H. Steinel, Dr. 
Benton N. Colver and Dr. Howland

Dr. Emil Leffler, a trustee of the

and 
its educational 
counselor. Dr. Leffler also is dean 
of Albion college and formerly served 
as president of Battle Creek college. 
Liberal Arts Out 
The liberal arts courses which were 
being taught in the college when It 
suspended operations in 1938 will 
not be a part of its curriculum when 
it is reopened 
Dr. Kellogg announced at the time 
of the closing of the college that 
it would be reopened at some time 
In the future as a health college, 
rather than as a liberal arts college. 
The work-study plan being de-
veloped by Dr. Kellogg will be similar 
to that employed at Antioch college 
in Yellow Springs. 0., where stu-
dents work part-time In Industries 
owned by the college to pay their 
tuition, room, )loard and other ex-
penses. 
• Reason given by Dr. Kellogg for 
the closing of the college In 1938 
was that he was unable to make 
adequate financial proviaiom for its 
maintenance. 
It was said today 
that the operating expenses of a 
college in which only health-related 
~;ubjects were taught will be less 
than the expenses o! operating a. 
liberal arts institution.

Helen Mitchell 
To Begin Project 
In Nutrition 
A new project to determine 
vitamin requirements of persons in 
their later years will be undertaken 
in the autumn by Dr. Helen Mitchell 
at 
Massachusetts 
State 
college, 
Amherst, Mass., where she is re-
search professor in nutrition. 
Dr. 
Mitchell, formerly OIL the staff of 
Battle Creek college, has been here 
for several days, during which she 
I discussed with her friends various 
phases of her work. 
The new project Is being planned 
by Dr. Mitchell because of her belief 
that many of the degenet·ative 
diseases, such as heart trouble, can 
be greatly alleviated, if not pre-
vented, by proper nutrition. In pre-
liminary investigations she has found 
that vitamin B-1 
given in con-
centrated form, has had a notably 
beneflcli:tl effect in the treatment 
of ailing older persons.

Three More Contest 
Will of Dr. Ke ogg 
Children of Adopted Son File 
Notice in Probate Court. 
Formal notice of contest of the 
will of the late Dr. John Harvey 
Kellogg was filed in probate cottrt 
at Marshall this fnorning on behalf 
of three children of the late .Paul 
Morrison Kellogg, an adopted son of 
Dr. and Mrs. Kellogg. 
Previous contests had been filed 
by George J. Kellogg of Detroit and 
Mrs. Roy MacPherson of Cheyenne, 
Wyo., adopted children. 
Those named in the contest filed 
today are William R. Kel19gg, Helen 
Kellogg Bowles and Evelyn Kellogg 
Holden. The papers have been pre-
pared by Attorney Ben C. Hughes 
of Detroit, who has since died. 
These petitioners make the claim 
that Dr. Kellogg's will was not 
"signed, sealed, published and de-
clared" in accordance with the state 
law and that at the time of its 
execution Dr. Kellogg did not have 
sufficient mental capacity to make 
a will. They object also to linking 
the executors of the will with the 
Race Betterment Foundation and 
serve notice that they intend to 
challenge the validity of this trust. 
Dr. Kellogg's estate has been 
tentatively appraised at $50,000 and 
consists almost entirely of stock in 
the Battle Creek Food Co. and his 
residence 
in 
Manchester 
street. 
None of the assets of the Sanita-
rium, the Race Betterment Founda-
tion, Miami-Battle Creek Inc., or 
other activities with which Dr. Kel-
logg was associatede, are involved 
in his personal estate.

Community Overflow 
Third Floor Being Used to Re-
lieve Crowded Conditions. 
Five Community hospital patients 
were being cared for today at the 
Sanitarium hospital where they 
were admitted yesterday and this 
mon1ing. 
One of the patients was trans-
ferred from Community hospital 
and the others were admitted di-
rectly to the Sanitarium hospital. 
The board of directors of the Bat-
tle Creek Community Hospital as-
sociation, at a special meeting Fri-
day night, voted to rent the third 
floor of the Sanitarium hospital for 
use by convalescing patients of Com-
munity. This action was taken to 
help relieve crowded conditions. 
Mrs. Elizabeth L. Nichols, Com-
munity hospital superintendent, ex-
pressed belief today that the new ar-
rangements wiU work out satisfac-
torily in relieving the crowded con-
ditions. Without the use of the 
· Sanitarium hospital, it would have 
been necessary for Community hos-
pital to turn away patients who 
needed immediate care this morn-
ing, Mrs. Nichols said. 
For the present, Community hos-
pital will be used for the care of 
emergency patients and those who I 
will be i.n the hospital for only a 
few hours or days. Those who re-
quire longer hospitalization will. be J 
taken to the Sanitarium hospital. 
Crowded conditions at Commu-
nity hospital "have become alarm-
ing," Mrs. Nichols said, but it was 
not necessary to turn a way any 
emergency cases last week. About 
six patients were turned away over 
the week-end. Community hospital 
has a waiting list of about 11 pa-· 
tients but their doctors have ap-
proved a delay in admitting them.

Adopted Children File Objec-

~o of · the 11 legally adopted 
children of the late Dr. John Har-
vey K~lelogg are contesting his will, 
by which he undertook to leave his 
entire personal estate in trust to be 
used to promote biologic living. 
The objectors, it was learned Sat-: 
urday, are a son, George John Kel-
logg of Detroit, a YMCA worker 
and a daughter, Mrs. Bessie Ell~ 
MacPherson of Cheyenne, Wyo., the 
wife of a newspaper editor. 
Both have filed objections in pro-
b.ate court at Marshall and peti-
tiOned to have the will certified to 
?ircuit 'c?urt for a jury trial of the 
ISsues ra1Sed. 
.A hearing on the probate of the 
Vllll has been adjourned several 
ti~es and is now scheduled for 
Fnday, 
The two objectors, who are repre-
s~nted by Attorneys 6yrus J. Good-
ncb of Battle Creek and Maurice 
Dr~ifuss and Fred G. Dewey of De-
trOit, ~challenge the will on several 
grounds, including the authenticity 
of the signature. They allege that 
Dr. Kellogg, who was 91, '1did not 
h~ve the ment~l capacity to make a 
w11l at the time," Oct. 28, 1943; 
that he was under undue influence· 
that .the will "by reason of tbe in~ 
defimte and uncertain provisions 
pu~'J)ose.s . ~nd aims therein set forth 
l
iS mvalld m law." and that ·Dr Kel-
. Jog~ did not have "a present ~ecol-
1ectiOn of the natural objects of his 
bounty" with the result that the 
names of the petitioners were "omit-
ted th~·ough inadver.cnce, accident 
and m1Stake." 
Dr. Kellogg's Will made no be-
ql!est.s to individuals. The whole of 
bis estate, which has not been esti-
~ated publicly, was entrusted to 
five executors with 'broad boards to 
expend it to promote reforms in 
biologic living and regiment therapy 
a.nd to teach the theory and prac-
tlce of biologic living as exemplified 
by the Sanitarium. The executors 
are Dr. James T. Case, Dr. Richard

Kellogg,. Miss Gertrude Estill,

by which he undertook to leave hi~ 
entire personal estate in trust to be 
used to promote biologic living. 
The objectors, it was learned Sat-1 
urday, are a son, George John Kel-
logg of Detroit, a YMCA worker 
and a daughter, Mrs. Bessie 
Ell~ 
~acPherson of Cheyenne, Wyo., the 
Wife of a newspaper editor. 
Both have filed objections in pro-
b.ate court at Marshall and peti-
tiOned to have the will certified to 
~ircuit C?Urt for a jury trial of the 
ISsues raiSed. 
.A hearin on the probate of the 
· Wlll has been adjourned several 
times and is now scheduled for 
Friday. 
The two objectors, who are repre-
s~nted by Attorneys 6yrus J. Good-
ncb of Battle Creek and Maurice 
Dr~ifuss and Fred G. Dewey of De~ 
troit, ~challenge the will on several 
grounds, including the authenticity 
of the signature. They allege that 
Dr. Kellogg, who was 91, "did not 
h~ve the ment~l capacity to make a 
Will at the time," Oct. 28, 1943; 
that he was under undue influence· 
that the will "by reason of the in~ 
definite and uncertain provisions 
~:m~oses . ~nd aims therein set forth 
Is mv~lid m law." and that 'Dr. Kel-
. logg did not have "a present recol-
lection of the natural objects of his 
bounty" with the result that the 
names of the petitioners were "omit-
ted th~·ough inadver~ence, accident 
and miStake." 
Dr. Kellogg's will made no 
be~ 
q~ests to individuals. The whole of 
his estate, which has not been esti-
~ated publicly, was entrusted to 
flVe executors with broad boards to 
expend it to promote reforms in 
biologic living and regiment therapy 
a_nd to teach the theory and prac-
ttce of biologic living as exemplified 
by the Sanitarium. The executors 
are Dr. James T. Case, Dr. Richard 
M. Kellogg. Miss Gertrude Estill 
Jens T. Christiansen and John H' 
Haas.

For Dr. Linda Roth 
Services for Dr. Linda Gage Roth. 
70, who died Tuesday night, were 
conducted .. at Hebble's· chapel Sat-~ 
urday afternoon by the Rev. Carle· 
ton Brooks Miller, assisted by the 
Rev. Henry N. Jordan, Sanitazium 
chaplain. 
1 
Frientls and associates of one of 
Battle Creek's best known women-
doctor of medicine, college executive 
aud clubwoman-filled the chapel. 
The Rev. Mr. Jordan spoke as an 
a~ociate of Dr. Roth on the faculty 
of the old Kellogg School of Physi-
cal Education before it was absorbed 
into Battle Creek college. He ·spoke 
of her life, as a dean of women for 
the former college, as a "ministry" 
in good deeds. The Rev. Mr. Miller, 
referring to this same phase of her 
career, said that she was ''dean not 
only 1n name but in the hearts of 
the girls." He also spoke of the dis-
tinction which became hers when 
~he received a medical degree from 
the American Medical Missionary 
college in a day-it was 1904-when 
women shunned the medical profes-
sion. 
And he speculated whether 
she had not, in fact, pursued the 
study of medicine in order to be a 
companion in knowledge and inter-
est with her husband, Dr. Paul 
Roth. Dr. Roth and their two sons, 
Herman, of Redondo Beach, Calif., 
and Dr. Lawrence Roth, of Denver, 
Colo.. are the survivors. 
Herman 
was unable to come to Battle C:teek 
for the services yesterday. 
Burial 
"as in Oak Hill cemetery. 
Reflections on the life of Dr. Linda 
Roth appear in today's "Wheelchair J 
Philosophy" column written for the

ton<>' resident of Battle Creek and 
fo~er dietitian at the ~pitarium, 
bn. been made chie{ of dietitians a1 
Percy Jones General hospital, it was 
announced. 
Lieutenant Wilson, who also was 
promoted f:rom second to first lieu-
tenant, is the daughter oi Mr. and 
Mrs. Laurence R. Ken of 396 North 
washu1gton avenue. Her husband, 
r 
Sergt. Kenneth F. Wilso~, is 3: ~light 
engineer with the fenymg div1sion, 
Amzy Air Forces, at Dallas, Tex. Her 
I 
father is chief of maintenance em· 
ployes at Percy Jones. 
A g1·aduate of Central high school 
. 
and Battle Creek college, Lieutenant 
Will;on was working as a dietitian 
at the Sa.nitari}H!l. when the war 
\ departmeil es ablished Percy. Jo~es 
J hospital. She joined the dietet1cs 
staff of the new hospital at• that 
time.

I UII\IJIII., 
Community and Other Hos-
pitals Are Over-Crowded. 
Crowded 
conditions 
in Battle 
Creek hospitals have reached a point 
where both institutions are filled to 
overflowing with patients. 
The influx of patients has been 
so great that all available extra. 
beds and cots have been pressed !nip 
use. Officials of the two instituti~s 
are hopeful that the crowded con-
ditions will soon be xelieved. 
In an effort to relieve conditions 
at Community hospital, the board 
of directors of the Battle Creek Com-
munity Hospital Association, at a. 
special meeting Friday· night at the 
hospital, voted to rent the third 
floor of the Sanitarium hospital for 
use of convalescing patients of Com-
munity hospital. 
Under 
this 
new 
arrangement, 
Sanitarium hospital help will take 
care of the convalescing patients of 
Community hospital. The third floor 
of the Sanitarium hospital will be 
taken over Monday morning by 
Community hospital and Mrs. Eliza. 
beth L. Nichols, superintendent, said 
today that arrangements already 
have been made for the transfer of 
several convalescing patients to these 
new quarters. 
Mrs. Nichols said the 
crowded 
conditions at Community hospital 
"have become alarming" and that 
the hospital has done everything 
possible to care for the many 
patients. She said that, even if ad-
ditional beds or cots were available, 
there would be no place to situate 
them as the hospital halls already 
are crowded with beds and cots. 
No Roem for Emergencies 
Sincf January 1, the nwnber of' 
patients at Community hospital has 
been far beyond the capacity of the 
hospital, she said, adding that if 
emergency 
patients 
had 
been 
brought there this week it would 
have been impossible for the hos-
pital to take care of them. Mrs. 
Nichols said it has been necessary 
to turn patients away on occasions 
and that the hospital board felt it 
could no longer meet the situation 
unless different arrangements were 
made. 
Conditions at Leila hospital are 
no better. This hospital has been 
tilled to overflowing and extra 'beds 
and cots have been placed in the 
halls and in the two sun parlors to 
take care of patients. 
Leila hospital maintains a waitini 
li.st and persons, whose conditions 
are not critical are being requested 
to wait until conditions are relieved 
and the hospital can properly care 
for them. 
Osteopathic hospital, also taxed by 
crowding, is utilizing extra beds and 
cots placed in the hospital halls 
and the emergency room. Patient$ 
are being released to go hom~ fS 
soon as the doctor gives his per-
mission. 
Patients are the general run of 
surgical and medical cases 1n all 
the hospitals.

Pays Tribute 
To Dr. Kellogg 
BY EDITH M. BARBER 
A world famous man died re-
cently. 
Dr. John Harvey 
.~llogg 
lived to be 91 years of age, falling 
short of his ideal of becoming a 
centenarian by less than a decade, 
He was alert, active In his pro-
fession, and physically fit almost 
to the end. Fot· this, he gave credit 
to the system he devised for health-
ful living and which the many. pa-
tients who visited the Battle Creek 
Sanitarium adopted, although gen-
erally temporarily. 
The negations in Dr. 
Kellogg'~> 
system were alcohol, tobucco, cof-
fee, tea, condiments and meat. The 
system itself was based on a well-
balanced diet with plenty of milk, 
eggs, cream and cottage cheese fo1· 
protein, as well as nut products 
from which meatlike dishes were 
prepared. 
The vegetable content 
was high, and the best method of 
cookery employed. 
Many salads 
were always on the menu. Simple 
desserts with a milk or cream base, 
and a great variety of fruit~ were 
always offered. 
Regular exercise 
was also part of the program. 
Dr. Kellogg was often called a 
vegetarian. but animal foods were 
not off the list, as you can see. His 
work began at a period when most 
Americans lived on a meat. potato, 
bread and pie diet. LargP. quanti-
ties of weighty food wece respon-
sible for many digestive ailment.:; 
and the adoption of the Kellogg sys-
tem even for a short time brought 
good results to many. In hb aim 
for a lighter 
diet, 
rea~y-to-eat 
cereals came to our tables. 
While scientific research does not 
agree with the Kellogg belief that 
meat is a food to be avoided, but 
rather the opposite, there is no 
O.oubt that Dr. Kellogg's Influence 
was important and constructive in 
awakming an Interest in correct 
I 
eating and that the cause of nutri· 
Uon was much advanced by his 
work. Nutritionists th10ughout the 
world will join in this tribute .

LEFT HER IMPRINT-Dr. Linda 
Gage Roth,'who died last night, left 
the imprint of her admired per-
soruUity upon hundreds of students

Able Physician and Educator 
Was Member of Old Family. 
The death of Dr. Linda Gage 
Roth, 70, at 11 p. m. Tuesday i~ a 
local hospital after a long period 
of failing health, brought to a close 
an unusul
 and many-faceted ca-
reer as wife, 
mother, doctor of 
medicine, college executive and ac-
tive clubwoman. 
With her hus-
band, Dr. Paul .ftoth, who survives, 
she was partner both in marriage 
and profession. 
The one-time dean of women and 
medical director of 
the forn1er 
Battle Creek college had been in 
ill health for some time. Abolft a 
month ago her ailment was diag-
nosed as leukemia. 
She was act-• 
mitted to the ffo.spital only yester-
day. Retiring from active duty in 
1938 when Battle Creek college was 
dissolved, she later engag~d in ex-
tensive writing on medlcal and 
health subjects for Miami-Battle 
creek, the Florida Sanitarium es-. 
tablished by Dr. John Harvey Kel-
logg. The Roths have been living 
at 47 Grant. 
One of the best-known and best 
loved of Battle Creek's career wom-
en, 
Dr. Roth's influence 011 the 
lives of the many hundreds of col-J 
lege girls to whom she acted as·. 
mentor chaperone and confidante 
during 'her years in the dean's of-

1 Edith Harber 
Pays Tribute 
To Dr. Kellogg 
BY EDITH M. BARBER 
A world famous man died re-
cently. 
Dr. John Harvey Kellogg 
lived to be 91 years of age, falling 
short of his ideal of becoming a 
cen'tenarlan by less than a decade. 
He was alert, active in his pro-
fession, and physically fit almo.st 
to the end. For this, he gave t:redil 
to the system he devised for health-
ful living and which the many. pa-
tients who visited the Battle Creek 
Sanitarium adopted, although gen-
erally temporarily. 
The negations in Dr. 
Kellogg·~ 
system were alcohol, tobacco, cof-
fee, tea, condiments and meat. The 
system itself was based on a well-
balanced diet with plenty of milk, 
eggs, cream ~~ond cottage cheese fo;· 
protein, as well as nut products 
from which meatllke dishes were 
prepared. 
The vegetable content 
was high, and the best method of 
cookery employed. 
Many salad.!. 
were always on the menu. 
Simple 
desserts with a milk or cream base, 
and a great variety of frui~ were 
alway& offered. 
Regular exercise 
was also part of the program. 
Dr. Kellogg was often called a 
'egetarian, but animal foods were 
not off the list, as you can see. His 
work began at a period when most 
Americans lived on a meat. potato, 
bread and pie diet. LargP quanti-
ties of weighty food 
we~e respon-
sible for many digestive ailments 
and the adoption of t)le Kellogg sys-
tem even for a short time brought 
good results to many. In hib aim 
for a lighter 
diet, 
rea~y-to-eat 
cereals came to our tables. 
While scientific research does not 
agree with the Kellogg belief that 
meat is a food to be avoided, but 
rather the opposite, there is no 
cioubt that Dr. Kellogg's influence 
was important and constructive in 
awakEning an interest in correct 
I 
eating and that the cause of nutri-
tion was much advanced by his 
work. 
Nutritionists throughout the 
world will join in this tribute.

Plaut Closed 
~e offices and plant of the :Bat-
tle Creek Food Co., which had been 
operated by Dr. Kellogg, were closed 
this afternoon and w1ll remain 
closed on Saturday. 
Some weeks ago, Dr. Kellogg ex-
pressed tl'le wish that a section be 
reserved at his services for members 
of the Three-Quarter Centm·y club, 
an organiZation he 
had 
assisted 
;from the time of its organization 
here. OnlY recently Dr. Kellogg 
p ovided a special room in the Sani-
tarium auditorium bu1ld1n4!:: for th\8 
club. 
Dr. James T. case. who has con-
tinued as a consultant at the Sani-
tal·ium, although living in Cl1icago, 
arrived in Battle Creek early this 
morning. Some time ago Dr. Case 
had been officially appointed by 
Dr. Kellogg as assistant superinten-
dent of the instJtution. 
Arrival of Dr. Richard Kellogg, 
ad~pted son of the doctor was ex-
pected tonight. He left last Sunday 
for naval service after visiting with 
Dr. Kellogg on Saturday evening. 
Messages have been received from 
many former students of the old 
Medical Missionary college and Bat-
tle creek college announcing that 
they plan to be here on Saturday 
for the funeral.

Among tlle executives and em-
ployes of the Sanitarium who will 
attend the funeral service tomorrow 
are approximately 90 who have ,been 
associated with Dr. Kellogg 'at the 
institution for more than 20 years. 
Many of these have been with the 
Sanitarium for a much longer per-
iod. 
Mary Stai.nes Foy, former super-
intendent of nurses, who has more 
recently been attached to Dr. Kel· 
logg's household, is the oldest in 
service, next to Dr. 
Kello~g 1who 
had completed 67 years w1th -the

for 45 years. 
They are Irene

Honor Guard Before Funeral; 
Hoover Sends Tribute. 
Nurses who had worked with Dr. 
John Harvey Kellogg through the 
years made up an honor guard at 
his bier today as hundreds visited 
the Sanitarium auditorium 
where 
his bOdy lay in state from 10 aJ m. 
to 1 p. m. 
Funeral services for Battle Creek's 
distinguished medical leader were 
to be held at 2:30 o'clock this after-
noon. 
Burial was to be made in 
Oak H!ll cemetery, where Mrs. Kel-
logg is buried. 
Tribute to the doctor's skill and 
leadership came today from another 
old friend-former President Her-
bert Hoover. 
Said Mr. Hoover In 
a telegram from New York City: 
"Dr. Kellogg lived a long and ex-
ceedingly useful life. Many thou-
sands owe their health and happi-
ness to him. He was a good Ameri-
can and hosts will mourn his· pass-
ing." 
A proclamation issued by Mayor 
Bernard E. Godde called upon citi-
zens of Battle Creek to join in a 
day of mourning today. Flags were 
flown at half-staff today at Monu-
ment square, at the Sanitarium, on 
downtown office buildings and else-
where in the city. 
Service Is Broadcast 
The funeral was to be broadcast 
over Station WE'LL, going on the 
air at 2:30 and continuing until the 
close of the service. 
Neither Dr. Kellogg's brother nor 
sister were able to attend the serv-
ices. W. K. Kellogg is at his winter 
home in California and his sister, 
Mrs. Clara Kellogg Butler, 
is 
a 
patient at the Sanitarium recover-
ing from injuries suffered in a traf-
fic accident. 
Members or his" family and old 
friends were alTiving today for the 
services. 
Dr. and Mrs. James T. 
Case have been here since early Fri-
day. 
Mrs. Case was an adopted 
daughter of Dr. Kellogs. Mrs. Roy 
F. McPherson, the first of the chil-
dren to be adopted, has arrived from 
Wyoming. 
John L. Kellogg, son of W. K. 
and nephew of Dr. Kellogg, 
today 1rom Chicago. Other 
include Lucy A. Kellogg of 
Jll::aliLm:azo,o, a niece; Mrs. 
Bessie 
Kellogg of Detroit, widow of Paul 
Kellogg, an adopted son; and Dr. E. 
A. Sutherland, head of the Madison 
!Tenn.> Sanitarium, formet· presi-
dent of the old Battle Creek college 
and early day associate of Dr. Kel-
logg. 
Buried in Gray Clothing 
At the Sanitarium auditorium, 
where old friends and associates 
viewed Dr. Kellogg's body, flowers 
were banked across the entire width 
of the large room. 
The bronze 
coffin · was placed just below the 
auditorium rostrum. 
Dr. Kellogg 
was dressed in a suit of gray, rather 
than the whites in which he bad be-
come so well known. 
Well known local men including 
pbysicians, business men and oth-
6rs v,•ho have known Dr. Kellogg 
for many years comprise the honor-
ary bearers. The active be!Ll'Blt's •1ne_

The group which perhaps feels 
Dr. Kellogg's loss as keenly as any 
other is the Battle Creek Three-
Quarter Century club. The Rev. A. 
L. Ellsworth, president of the club. 
said today that Dr. Kellogg had 
bern of inestimable help and in-
spiration t<J the club, and on be-
half of his fellow members, ex-
pressed keen appreciation of the 
interest and effort that had been 
given by Dr. Kellogg. 
In addition to providing a meet-
ing place for the club. Dr. Kellogg 
had taken a personal interest in the 
health of the members, providing 
lacfiities for checking blood pres-
sures and otherwise safeguarding 
their health. 
The Sanitarium was to be staffed 
with skeleton crews this afternoon 
t~ permit as many employes as pos-
Sible to attend the services. 
Spe-
cial seats were to be reserved for 
the Three-Quarter Century club 
and the nursing staff.

11life Work a Record of Hu· 
matt Helpfulness," the Rev. 
Carleton B. Miller Says. 
Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, whooe 
life and achievements won world-
wide acclaim, was buried at Oak 
Hill cemetery Satw·day afternoon. 
Glowing tributes from illustrious 
citizens of the nation have arrived 
in Battle Creek since Dr. Kellogg's 
death of pneumonia at 91, Tues-
day night. But on Saturday at fu• 
neral services in the Sanitarium 
auditorium and at his gt·ave, he 
was surrounded by his hometown 
associates 
and 
oldtime 
friends, 
most of whom had in some way 
been inspired or benefitted by his 
life and work. 
Because of his forceful character 
ancf his association of 67 years with 
the Sanitarium, many individuals 
and many groups among the 1,100 
attending the services; felt close · to 
Dr. Kellogg, each for a special rea· 
son. MemberS of the Three-Quar-
ter Century club sensed this bond 
of friendship because Dr. Kellogg 
was one of them and had always 
proven his loyalty to them; the 
doctors and nurses, who because of 
their professions had worked close-
ly with him and on thxough the lists 
of employes at the Sanitarium, at 
the Battle Creek Food Co., and 
many others. 
In his eulogy, the Rev. Carleton 
Brooks Mille1·, pastor o! the Fir&f 
Congregational church, 
presented 
an accurate characterization of Dr. 
Kellogg and emphasized the quali-
ties which made him a leader of 
men. 
Ensemble Plays 
The Sanitarium ensemble, which 
includes musicians who have been 
associated with the institution for 
40 years, played at the opening of 
the service and again at its' close.

While Dr. Kellogg's body lay in 
8le. before the service, and until 
it began, ~ 
guard of nurses re-
mained on duty. 
Members of the 
family were seateQ. in the f1·ont 
rows and they were followed into 
the auditorium by uniformed nurses 
filling three full rows in the cente; 
section. 
The auditorium wu tilled before 
the services began, but many thous-
•nd.s were able to hear the service 
by means of the radio broadcast 
over station WELL. 
The services were opened by Mr. 
Miller, whose words led into the 
5cripture reading by Elder E. L. 
Pingenot, pastor of the Seventh-
day Adventist tabemacle. 
Then 
prayer was pronounced by the Rev. 
Henry N. Jordan chaplain at the 
Sanitarium. 
Lawrence Mayer sang "The Lord's 
Pral'er," by Malotte, an inspiring 
devotional number and excellently 
rendered. 
Piano 
accompaniment 
was by Mrs. Mayer. 
"For 67 years, John Harvey Kel-
Ioag served and saved his fellow 
1cD1!D here in Battle Creek," said Mr. 
MWer in his eulogy. "Because of his 
mtniBtry of healing, many thous-
ands remain to bless his name and 
his work in gratitude. There are 
those who, having lost health, got it 
words and lip

was a df'light to my ears to 
hear him say that the vocabulary of 
the theologians and concrete pic-
"'t¥.&~1.-t.ures ot the herea.fter were distaste-
to him. But one does not rid 
llf,ldlbself or outworn forms without 
fruits 
:minerals and vitamins; and to 
discoveries added the invention of 
ways to process these foods to make 
them attractive to the eye and di-
gestible in the stomach." 
Mr. Miller said that a biography 
of Dr. Kellogg's life had appeared 
tn the Enquirer and News and that 
since "the story was ably and ac-
curately written as is att-ested by 
those who knew hiln best,'' 
that 
there was no need to repeat his 
personal history. Mr. Miller added 
al.6o that the press bad been liberal 
in publishing the many 
glowing 
tributes which have come in from 
the good and the great from ncar 
and far and which "bear adequate 
testimony to Dr. Kellogg's work and 
be one tribute in· 
eluded from a. daughter who, un-
able to be present at this service 
has written: 'As busy a man as he 
always was, he stlll had time to be 
a real father, constantly thoughtful 
of us and a. daily inspiration'." Mr· 
Miller said. ''To these tributes Jet 
each of us add ours, according t-o 
our memories and gratitude, al-
t o~h th 
pe1·1:ect tribute in bill 
eyes would be to follow along the 
road upon which he began as a 
pioneer and whose path In the wil-
derness Is now a highway for the 
multitude." 
Mr. Miller recalled how in the 
spring or 1919. througll the late 
Elder George Tenney, he had met 
Dr. Kellogg and had become the 
chaplain at the schools then being 
Sanitarimn. 
he .. said o:d ~h~~,:;cl~~s~u~f.rhat 
d At that time he was serio~iy in 
oubt as to the imm ·t 
of losing the truth con-
tained. Then Dr. Kellogg said: 
" 'We have three lives. The so-
matic self where the eel~ die sooner 
or later; the germ self where the 
eel~ continue as long as the race 
exists and the spirit self. our per-
sonality has voluntary v.i!l such as 
starts muscle action, and involun-
tary will or a pacemaker. The spirit 
is the heart, but there is no con-
sciousness apart from the physio-
logical.' 
· 
"I suggested that this does not 
exclude the fact or truth that spirit 
abides eternally, that personality 
~urvives. The Divine Intellill'fnce 
1s able to accomplish this no less 
than other miracles and mysteries. 
Tell me. what question embraces 
the _great 
hy cal miracles 
mysteries? 
Quick as a flash 
and with a sparkle in his eye and a 
joyous smile on his face, Dr. Kel-
logg replied: 
I 
" 'Why doesn't the stomach di-
gest itself? By the same Truth bY 
which God does not permit death 
to dissolve or destroy the spirit.' 
Death Not the End 
"Dr. Kellogg has said that; 'death 
is not the destruction or life.' He 
added that in Aramaic, 'surrender' 
has the meaning of 'peace.' 'My 
own peace I give unto you,' means 
'I surrender to you.' 
"In that surrender John Harvey 
Kellogg has found peace, freedf>m 
and victory.''

burled beside his wife. who died 
1920. Buried also on the family

Carleton B. Miller Says. 
Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, whose 
life and achievements won world-
wide acclaim, was buried at Oak 
Hill cemetery Saturday afternoon. I 
Glowing tributes from illustrious . 
citizens of the nation have arrived 
1n Battle creek since Dr. Kellogg's 
death of pneumonia at 91, Tues-
day night. But on saturday at fu-
neral services in the Sanitarium 
auditorium and at his grave, he 
was surrounded by his hometown 
associates 
and 
oldtime 
friends, 
most of whom had in some way 
been in.spired or benefitted by his 
life and work. 
Because of his forceful character 
an<t his association of 67 yea_r~ with 
the sanitarium, many individuals 
and many groups among the 1,100 
attending the serviCes, felt close •to 
Dr. Kellogg, each for a special rea-
aon, Members of the Three-Quar-
ter Century club sensed this bond 
of friendship because Dr. Kellogg 
was one of them and had always 
proven his loyalty to them; the 
doctors and nurses, who because of 
their professions had worked close-
ly with him and on through the lists 
of employes at the sanitarium, at 
the Battle Creek Food Co., and 
many others. 
In his eulogy, the Rev. Carleton 
Brooks Miller, pastor of the Firl>t 
Congregational church, 
presented 
an accurate characterization of Dr. 
Kellogg and emphasized the quali-
ties which made him a leader of 
men.

Miller said. "To these tributes let

etes would be to follow along the 
road upon which he began as a 
pioneer and whose path in the wil-
derness is now a highway for the 
multitude.'' 
Mr. Miller recalled how in the 
•pring of 1919. through the late 
Elder George Tenney, he had met 
Dr. Kellogg and had become the 
chaplain at the schools then being 
conducted at the Sal1.l.tarium. 
as a flash 
a sparkle in his eye and a 
joyous smile on his face, Dr. Kel-
logg replied: 
"'Why doesn't the stomach di-
gest itself? By the same Truth by 
which God does not permit death 
to dissolve or destroy the spirit.' 
Death ~ot the End 
"Dr. Kellogg has said that 'death 
is not the destruction of Ufe.' 
He 
added that in Aramaic, 'sulTender' 
has the meaning of 'peace.' 
'My 
own peace I give unto you,' means 
'I surrender to you.' 
"In that surrender John Harvey 
Kellogg has found peace, freed0m 
and victory.'' 
At Oak Hill, Dr. Kellogg was 
buried beside his wife, who died 
in 1920. Buried also on the family 
lot is John W. Kellogg, an adopted

" 'I am formulating a scientific

'Take prayer. Prayer is a cry for

for help when we are at the end

thirst if there were no water; no

Dr. John Harvey Kellogg 
=1PNEUMONIA ATIACK IS 
FATAL AT HOME HERE 
Distinguished Head of Sanitarium Active 
Until Last Few Hours in Serv-
zce of Mankind. 
Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, life-long champion of the 
health of his fellow man, died peacefully at his Manchester 
street residence at 11 :30 o'clock last night, after a three-
day illness with pneumonia. 
, 
During his 91 years of life and his 67 years of asso-
ciation with the Battle Creek Sanitarium, his program of 
biologic living and his "aristocracy of health" had circled 
the world, making his name and his teachings as weU. 
known in foreign lands as in his own. He was the 
acknowledged father of the breakfast food industry. 
Although definite arrangements for services had not 
been completed, it was announced this afternoon that 
services would be held in the Sanitarium auditorium Satur-
day afternoon, probably at 2:30 o'clock. Burial will be 
made in Oak Hill cemetery. The body is at the Hebi.Jle 
funeral home. 
Dr. Kellogg's mind and energy triumphed up to the 
portals of death itself. Forgetful of himself and thought-
ful only of others, he made his last hours ,significant of 
the service to mankind which caused his friend, George 
Bernard Shaw, to remark: "You shall live so when you 
die, God is in your debt." 
Dr. Kellogg suffered a severe bronchial attack on 
Saturday night just after he had chatted with Dr. Richard 
Kellogg, one of his adopted sons, who was leaving as head 
of the dental staff at the Sanitarium for war service. De-
------------4· 
spite the vigilance of his 
physician, 
Dr. 
James 
R. 
J Ejffrey of the Sanitarium 
staff and his nurses, pneu-
monia developed in a mild 
form. Dr. Kellogg continued 
active and alert on Monday 
nd was xestrained from 
making appointments only 
by th€ doctor's orders. 
He 
fell asleep at 7 p. m. Mon-
day 
and 
did

Dr. Kellogg served for 18 years ru; a 
member of the Michigan Board of 
Health. In 1906 he established the 
Race Betterment Foundation by 
gift of endowment. The first Race 
Betterment Conference was 
held 
In 1914. 
Pioneered Many Theories 
One of the doctor's most impor-
tant therapeutic inventions was an 
electric lamp bath. He pioneered In 
recognizing the value of the pene-
trating 
value ·of 
luminous heat 
waves, but oddly enough this dis-
covery was first popularized in Eu-
ropean countries. 
In his efforts to establish the 
''biologic diet" Dr. Kellogg became 
the father of the n;1odem and en-
ormous cereal food industry. He was 
the inventor of many processes. 
methods and machines used In pre-
paration of these foods. 
He also 
devised 
vegetable meats 
and 
a 
of "health foods·." Early in 
career he prepared and recom-
mended 'sterilized bran for table use. 
Dr. Kellogg erected his four-story 
residence on Manch~ter street dur-
fn the 1890's, the property incm·-
pprattng a city block. He was mar-
ried Feb. 22, 1897 to Ella E. Eaton, 
who died here In 1920. 
Together 
they reared and educated 35 chil-
dren, llny of whom they legally 
adopted. They had no children o! 
their own. 
For many years the doctor had 
worn only white clothing, Including 
suits, overcoats, shoes and even had 
a pair of 
white-rimmed 
glasses. 
Many of the nation's most distin-
guished citizens were his close per-' 
sonal friends and the Sanitarium j

nown here in coWltless numbers.

Dr. John Harvey Kellogg 
PNEUMONIA A TI ACK IS 
FATAL AT HOME HERE 
Dis·tinguished Head of Sanitarium Active 
Until Last Few Hours in Serv-
rce of Mankind. 
Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, life-long champion of the 
health of his fellow man, died peacefully at his Manchester 
street residence at 11 :30 o'clock last night, after a three-
day illness with pneumonia. 
, 
During his 91 years of life and his 67 years of asso-
ciation with the Battle Cre.ek Sanitarium, his program of 
biologic living and his "aristocracy of health" had circled 
the world, making his name and his teachings as weU 
known in foreign lands as in his own. He was the 
acknowledged father of the breakfast food industry. 
Although definite arrangements for services had not 
been completed, it was announced this afternoon that 
services would be held in the Sanitarium auditorium Satur-
day afternoon, probably at 2 :30 o'clock. Burial will be 
made in Oak Hill cemetery. The body is at the Hebl>le 
funeral home. 
Dr. Kellogg's mind and energy triumphed up to the 
portals of death itself. Forgetful of himself and thought-
ful only of others, he made his last hours .significant of 
the service to mankind which caused his friend, George 
Bernard Shaw, to remark: "You shall live so when you 
die, God is in your debt." 
Dr. Kellogg suffered a severe bronchial attack on 
Saturday night just after he had chatted with Dr. Richard 
Kellogg, one of his adopted sons, who was leaving as head 
of the dental staff at the Sanitarium for war service. De-
-------------.A>· spite the vigilance of his 
physician, .Dr. 
James 
R. 
J qffrey of the Sanitarium 
staff and his nurses, pneu-
monia developed in a mild 
form. Dr. Kellogg continued 
I 
active and alert on Monday 
and was restrained from 
making appointments only 
by the doctor's orders. 
He 
fell asleep at 7 p. m. Mon-
day 
and 
did. not . again 
awaken. 
Secluded for Several Weeks 
At the bedside when death came 
were Dr. Jeffrey, three nurses; the 
Misses M1tl:'•l, Angie and Gertrude 
Estill, ~.II m-
bers of his. household, 
and Clifford Herrell, chief desk 
clerk at the Sanitarium,· who is a

·peanut Hutter Friendship' 
·Exists Over 50-Year Period 
A 50-year friendship between Dr. 
John 
Harvey 
Kellogg and 
Dr. 
Charles William Dabney of Cincin-
nati, 0., a retired educator had its 
start in Battle .Creek back in 1893 
when the two men developed pea-
nut butter as a substitute for meat. 
Dr. Dabney, now 85 years old, has 
been at the Sanitarium for the last 
month, and recalled the peanut but-
ter incident Wednesday afternoon 
after visiting Dr. Kellogg at his 
home, prior to leaving today for 
Cincinnati. 
Having heard of the fame of Dr. 
Kellogg's sanitarium, Dr. Dabney 
brought his wife here foil treatment 
while he went on to Chicago to at-
tend the World's Fair. That was 
back in 1893. Upon his return to 
the Sanitarium from the fair, Dr. 
Dabney met Dr. Kellogg for the 
first time. At that time, Dr. Kel-
logg was seeking a substitute for 
meat and, knowing that Dr. Dabney 
had been director of the agricul-
tural experiment station of North 
Carolina at Raleigh from 1881 to 
1887, inquired if he thought pea-
nuts could be used. 
Dr. Dabney said he thought they 
could and sent to North Carolina 
for five bushels of peanuts which he 
and Dr. Kellogg used in creating 
peanut butter. 
"It was a simple job for us," Dr. 
Dabney said. "We just roasted the 
peanuts, pressed out the oil, added 
some cotton seed oil, sugar and salt 
-the result, peanut butter." 
Coincident with his current visit 
to the Sanitarium is the fact that 
in the 50-year-ago column of the 
Enquirer and News of Oct. 15, 1943, 
was an item that Dr. Dabney deliv-
ered a talk at the Sanitarium on 
"The Mission of the Educated Wo-
man." At that time he was presi-
dent of the University of Tennessee. 
Dr. Dabney cut short his present 
stay at the Sanitarium upon receiv-
ing word that two of his grandsons, 
who have been in North Africa, had 
been taken ill while on duty and 
had been returned to the states. He 
was accompanied here by Ius nurse, 
Mrs. Mary Fratz, who has been car-
ing for him for the last two years. 
Before retiring in 1920 as presi-
dent of the University of Cincinnati, 
Dr. Dabney'had a long career as an 
educator and in public life. He was 
professor of chemistry at the Uni-
versity of North Carolina in 1880 
and 1881; director or the North 
Carolina agricultural station from 
1880 to 1887; professor of agricul-
tural chemistry and director of the 
Tennessee experimental station from 
1887 to 1890; president of the Uni-
versity of Tennessee from 1887 to 
1904 and president of the University 
of Cincinnati from 1904 to 1920. 
He also was assistant secretary 
of agriculture from 1893 to 1896 un-
der J. Sterling Morton of Nebraska, 
who was secretary of agriculture 
during the second term of President 
Grover Cleveland. Dr. Dabney re-
called that the pure food and drug 
act was passed by congress while he 
held this office. 
After retiring, Dr. Dabney return-
ed to his first love, geology, and, 
with his son, discovered large de-
posits of potash in Texas. Before 
this discovery, he said the United 
States had to import its potash from 
Germany and importers had to pay 
an export tax to obtain the mineral.

t'UDIIC Heaftn Hoay 
Honors Dr. Kellogg, 
Its Oldest Member 
The American Public Health asso-
ciation, at its recent 72nd annual 
meeting, gave recognition to Dr. 
John Harvey Kellogg, who has been 
' a member of the organization for 
65 years. 
In a letter to Dr. Kellogg, Dr. 
R.eginald M. Atwater, executive sec-
retary, wrote: "Among the pleasures 
which we had were the presenta-
tions of three certificates covering 
40 years of membership in the as-
sociation. When Dr. ,Allen W. Free-
man, the president, announced the 
awards this year, he called the at-1 
tention of ;t large g·athering to the 
fact that you were the first person 
to receive this award and that you 
' are this year completing. 65 years of 
continuous membership in the asso-
ciation. 
"That is indeed a notable record 
and there were many who expressed 
admiration for the way you have 
survived the years. You must have 
joined the association when it was 
less than seven years old and vou 
must have been a young man at 
that time. 
I can look back on 30 
years of acquaintance with the as-
sociation, since it met in my home 
town in Colorado Springs in 1913, 
but your acquaintance goes back 
I more than twice as far and I salute 
f 
you and congratulate you on arriv-
mg at such a record in this re-
I spect. 
I "I write you just to remind you 
of our continuing interest and our 
hope that the long and distinguish-
ed record you have had in the as-
sociation may be reflected in gooci 
service from those of us who are I 
privileged to be members of the 
staff."'

Story of Flight Vividly Recalled 
By Parisienne, Sanitarium Guest 
The story of the flight of a 
French family from before the Ger-
mans and its eventual afe arrival 
in, lthis country is told bY Mme. 
Georges Simon, a Sanitarium guest. 
It is a story, the memory of which 
Is so vivid to her, that at times she 
becomes amost inarticulate In trying 
to tell it. 
When the war began the Simon 
family was a happy one with its 
roots in Paris but Its interests all 
over the world. Monsieur Simon was 
of the firm of S.hnon Freres, fur-
riers, whose principal business was 
in Paris. Its branches were found 
in Moscow, Barcelona, Madrid, Lis-
bon and New York. There was also 
Madame 
Simon 
and their 
two 
younger children. Jacqueline. 18, and 
Andre, 16, living at home 
The 
older son was in the army and the 
older daughter. Paulette. was mar-
a d I"ving 1 
w York. 
came tlie war With its year 
of "phoney peace." and at last" the 
crushing blow of the defeat of 
France. With it came the saga of 
the flight of Madame Simon and 
her two younger 
children · from 
Paris. 
Shortly before the Germans ar-
rived in Paris they bombed parts of 
the city at about 11:30 o'clock in 
the morning at the time when 
schools were being Jet out for the 
lunch hour. 
Some 200 boys and 
gh·Js were killed in the raid and 
many homes were damaged. 
As the Germans arrived the Si-
mons left, but only after they had 
been forced to pay 100,000 francs for 
a visa-and the franc then was 
still worth four cents in American 
mohey. They left in order to save 
Andre, who in thi'ee weeks would 
have been 17 years old and thus 
could be drafted by the Germans 
for labor. 
But after they had gone for a 
day thel'e grew the idea that the 
Germans would leave Pads and so 
Madame Simon returned to PaJ·is 
En route she found the dead along 
the Toadside-a man beside his 
bicycle as he fell, a car full of men 
women and children, a 
peasant 
woman beside a cart filled with 
farm produe~.:. wme. killed by bombs 
and other by ma'chinegun fire. 
When she got back to Paris. 
Madame Simon went directlv to her 
home and there found that the 
Germans had already taken an in-
of 
they found 
being Fltscist), he sent 
most valuable pos.ses!;ion to Mar-
seilles. The Germans, however, took 
the business. 
M~dame Simon left Paris again, 
rE JOllled her children and together 
they went to Vichy to takr a plane 
to the Spanish border. There she 
was a1:rested bet:ause m:mey was 
found 1n her purse. but finally she 
wa& released and the three went to 
Barcelona. 
There they obtained 
money and went on to Madrid, and 
from there to Li~bon. 
At the fronLier the refugees had 
to stay the night in a cold, partially 
burned railroad station, sleeping on 
the floors. 
The Spanish station-
master was kind to the Simon fam-
ily and gave them blankets 
He 
also took care of Jacqueline and 
.Andre while Madame Simon was 
under arrest. 
Once in Madrid, they found the 
Spanish capftal largely destroyed. 
The ':'estruction took place during 
the CIVIl V>ar and little had been 
done to rebuild. There they were 
anested again, this time by the 
Spanish on behalf of the Germans, 
who wanted to return Andre to 
France and thence to a labor corps. 
It was finally proven that he was 
not yet 17, and thus the family pro-
ceeded to port at Lisbon. But even 
there their troubles were not over, 
for they had missed their boat be-
cause of the time taken up during 
the arrest in· Madrid. 
The memories of the filght are 
still vivid and because of that the 
familr is stiiJ fight-ing on. 
' 
Monseiur Simon left Paris eight 
months later ~nd eventually an·iv-
ed in America to help settle his 
family here. 
Jacqueline went to 
Bryn Mawr, 
was graduated there 
and now is waiting to be sent to 
North Africa by the U. S. govern-
ment as an interpreter. 
Andre 
went to the University of Illinois 
and then to the Frenc.l;l.. colle~e i.o, 
New York. 
Now, at 20. he is in 
England training as an officer in 
the De Gaune army. 
The older 
daughter still is in New York and 
the older son, a lieutenant in the 
Free Frpnch army, is on duty in 
the army's bureau in New York. He 
pscaped from France, 
getting to 
Cesablanca and then to Guada-
loupe in the West Indies. Admiral 
Robert of Martinique practically 
held him a prisoner in Guadaloupe 
for two years, during which he had 
poor food <not meatl ana during 
which it was im;:ossible to obtain 
any medical supplies.

Stenographic reports of ~o Kala-
mazoo conference session ancl of the 
annual meeth11! of the San~tarium 
were both prepared by the church 
conference and copies furnished to 
the Sanitarium counsel. 
Reading from the minutes ot .;the 
annual meeting ·of the Sanitarium 
by Attomey Kim Sigler of the Sani-
tarium counsel was interrupted a.t 
noon when Judge Blaine W. E:atch 
ordered a recess in the trial unt1l 
30 p. m. Monday. ':('his afternoon's 
oession was cancelled a.t the request 
of Attorney Byron L. Ba)lard of

conference, who stated that he was

Minutes o! a meetlng-'lleld'bY' A -
'Ventists in Kalamazoo on March 30 
were read by Mr. Sigler to quote 
1rom speeches by Elder W. H. Bran .. 
son, executive vice president of the 
Adventist 
conference, 
and other 
church workers. 
After there had been considerable 
discusston as to how many members 
the church would permit the Sani-
tarium to name on its roster of 
constituents~ the record showed that 
Dr. Benton N. Colver made a mo-
tion that the total to be allowed the 
Sanitarium should not exceed 25. 
Later, in re.sponse to an inquiry 
!rom Dr. Charles w. Heald, Elder 
Branson stated that the church and 
its 
"had 
signed 
comes."' 
"We suggest that these four be 
approved to give us a. lead in the 
m~eting," Elder Branson was quotecl 
as saying. "1 have word that the 
Sanitarium has 100 new members 
and Dr. Colver will be the leader 
in handling that particular item, 
and will make objections to any 
BolnltaJ1UJID nomtnees over the total 
of 25." 
The meeting at Kalamazoo also 
selected a nominating 
committe~ 
and arranged that Elder S. E. 
Wig~t would make the motion nam-
ing the 11 designated members of 
this committee.

would choose," said Elder Bran-
son. 
"If the chair <Dr. Kellogg) 
appoJnts a. nominating committee, 
we mJght as well go home." 
Defended Dr. Ke!logg 
Dr. George Thomason of Los An-
geles, the minutes showed, intro-
duced a note in the Kalamazoo con-
ference meeting in defense of Dr. 
John Harvey Kellogg's position. 
to a denominational institution, and 
perhaps move it out ot Battle Creek. 
Mr. Sigler read one letter written 
by Elder Branson discussing plans 
for electing new trustees of the 
Sanitariwn: 
"This meeting at the Sanltariwn 
represents a crlsis in our denomi-
national affairs," said Dr. Thoma-
son. "I had hoped that w'e might 
continue with the cooperation vr 
Dr. Kellogg, but the brethren feels 
that thts is not possible. 
"I occupy & peculiar position in 
this matter. 
I want to cooperate 
wjth Dr. Kellogg, who has stood like 
a stone wall as a. champion of bio-
logic 
Jlving, 
health 
reform and 
against liquors· and tobacco. I was 
secretary when the Sanitarium was 
rebuilt and I think we should now 
lay aside monetary considerations. 
When the Sanitarium burned there 
was a large outstanding debt and 
since tha.t time the church confer-
ence has .not contributed one cent 
to the institution. 
"IN. x.ello&~ lllapired me to be-
eome a medical man. He has de-
nied himself all the way through. 
Every ,dollar he has received has 
been put Into this work. I worked 
with him when he withstood the 
scorn and ridicule even of the medi-
cal profession. 
He still has ability 
and it should be preserved for the 
world. 
This 
denomination 
will 
profit by sitting at his feet. This is 
a crisis in this deJ:aomination and if 
there is any way to cooperate with 
Dr. Keilogg, I think heaven wlll be 
pleased." 
Reads Sanitarium Minutes 
Attorney Sigler then turned to 
reading from the minutes o! the an .. 
nual meeting 6f the Sanitarium, be-
ginning March 
31. 
This record 
showed that at the outset, on mo-
tion of Dr. James T. Case, a com-
mittee of three inspectors was ap-
pointed by Dr. Kellogg over the pro-
test of Dr. Harris .and Dr. Colver 
that they should be elected. 
The 
membership book which had been 
printed by Dr. Harris was presented, 
along with $15,910, to the secretary 
of the Sanitarium board, who Te-
fused to accept it. 
The names of 
241 proposed new members suggest-
ed by the church conference and its 
associates, appeared in this book. 
Before the noon adjournament 
was 'taken. Attorney Sigler had read 
only briefly from a statement by Dr. 
Kellogg, early in the annual meet· 
tng. Said Dr. Kellogg: 
"It appears that secret meetings 
have been held and that people have 
been told that they would be paid 
if they came here to vote against 
somethin~ that I was supposed to 
favor. It ts the first time that the 
necessity for inspection of those 
supposed to be honest has been 
necessary. 
"W. K. Kellogg and others who 
are deeply interested in what we 
are trying to do, think we would 
do well to have two non-Adventist 
men on the board to begin with, at 
least for the first year. Then later 
we could make some changes and 
get a 
different kind of set·UP. 
There are ·several who agree .that 
it probably would be better to' es-
tablish a Sanitarium somewhere in 
Michigan outside of Battle Creek." 
Mr. Sigler then again questioned 
Dr. Harris: 
Q. Alter you learned that Elder 
Branson believed the sanitarium 
should be taken out of Battle Creek, 
did you report thts to the trustees 
of the Sanits.rium? 
A. 
No, I did not. 
Q. 
Did you notify the constitu-
ents that Elder Branson was con-
sidering taking the Sanitarium out 
Of •Battle creek? 
A. I wrote no mo1·e letters to the 
constituents after August, 1942. 
Mr. Sigler then began reading 
letter after letter among the many 
that had been exchanged by Elder 
Branson and those constituents who 
were favorable to the program in-
augw-ated by the Adventist confer-
ence. 
At the conclusion of each 
letter, in which the writer usually 
agred to be In Battle Creek ·tor the 
Sanitarium 
meeting. 
Mr. 
Sigler 
would announce from the record, 
the travel and expense money aJ .. 
lowed to each. 
Letter Expresses Sorrow ~ 
One letter was from Eva M. Shiv-
ely, a high school teacher in Corn-
tng, ,Cal. 
She wrote: 
"It has been a sorrow to me all 
these years to know that this initial 
institution (the Sanitarium) of the 
SDA did not uphold the standards 
of the Third Angel's mei5Sage, as I 
found out after working there as a 
helper (1898-1900). 
"I was asked to teach a class of 
minister's wives on healthful dress. 
At one meeting of the class Dr. Kel-
logg spoke disparagingly about the 
'mark of the beast.' I never again 
asked him to address my class in 
dressmaking. 
HAbout 20 years ago I went back 
for a visit and had a. chat with Dr. 
Kellogg. 
He tried to convince me 
that the spirit of prophecy as vest-
ed in Sister White was a great hoax. 
I tried to make it plain that I con· 
sidered it a privilege for God to be 
willing to speak to us. I feel 
about Dr. Kellogg. His loss is 
He could have done much good." 
"What Is the Thirct Angel's ~s-
sage?" Mr. Sigler asked of Dr. 
Harris. 
A. It refers to a passage in the 
"I established the Race Better-
ment Foundation to aid in the very 
work that the Sanitarium is engag-
ed and at ~time when the Sanitar-
ium funds did not permit full en-
gagement In this work. I proposed 
that all of the assets of the Race 
Betterment Foundation be turned 
over to this institution." 
Book of Revelation. 
A 
Q. 
What is the 'mark of the 
beast'? 
A. 
I think that refers to observ-
ance of the Sabbath day. 
After reading numerous other let-
ters received by Elder Branson from 
various parts of the country, Attor-
ney Sigler again resumed his ex-
amination of Dr. Harris: 
Dr. Harr!a WIIS dl•missed from the 
stand thla 
but 
indicate that his cross-examination 
had been completed. No other wit-
nesses have been called to the stand. 
Church Expenditures Traced 
When court adjourned yesterday 
afternoon, Dr. Harris had completed 
his second day on the witness stand, 
having been called within a short 
time after the trial began Wednes-
day morning. 
Attorney Sigler continued reading 
letters and other documents into the 
record on Thursday afternoon and 
then usually following each letter by 
questioning Dr. Harris. 
One of the passages read bY Mr. 
Sigler was from the. minutes of the 
Adventist general conference show-
ing that expenditure up to $10,000 
was authorized last September "to 
see that there was a full attendance 
of cOnstituents" at the Sanitarium 
meeting. The conference financial 
statement for a five-day period in-
cluding the period of the annual 
meeting and from March 29 to April 
2 this year showed that the church 
conference spent $26,183.51 here lit 
that time. 
Counsel for the Sanitarium spent 
Q. 
Was there any discussion 
for 
veutists had gained control? 
A. 
Yes, there was. 
Q. Between whom? 
A. 
Dr. Stewart and myself. In 
the event that a. new board had 
been elected, Dr. Stewart said he 
would remain here a few months to 
help in getting started. 
Q. Was there any talk about you 
serving on the staff? 
A. 
Neve~;, at any lime. I do not 
expect to profit by this move I one 
red cent. 
Alter reading of additional let-
ters, the court session was recessed 
until this morning.

'Rump' Session Deseribed 
When trial ot' the case wu re-
sumed at I :30 Monday afternoon, 
details of the so-called "rump" 
meeting of the Sanitarium constitu-
ents were revealed for the first 
time. A stenographic report of the 
proceedings read into the record by 
Mr. Sigler showed that this sessidn, 
at _which new •'trustees" were elect-
ed,' was attended by 243 persons and 
was held after the full list of 241 
pllrsons signed up by the Adventist 
conference workers had been ad-
mitted to membership. The normal 
membership in the constituent group

more than 80.

the assistance of Elder Branson 
and Dr. Harris, both o! whom sat at 
the counsel table. 
The transcript of the annual 
meeting of the Sanitariwn con .. 
stltuency showed that the first-day 
session on March 31 was not ad-
journed until 1 :07 a. m. en the fo~­
loMng morning. During the hect1c 
evening session, it was voted 15 to 
1'3 to require the Sanitarium to ac-
cept the membership roll book pre-
pared by the church members and 
the $15,91() in cash that bought 150 
permanent memberships and 91 an-
nual memberships. 
It then developed that the Sani-
tarium. had some new members to 
propose, and Dr. Charles E. Stewart 
made a motion that the roster of ... 
fered by the Sanitarium be rejected. 
'fills motion w..S defeated, 16 to 10. 
only one name was read from the

Kept Meeting Going 
Some members then started to 
leave the hall, the minutes reported, 
but Dr. Harris arose and declared, 
•·The meeting is not adjourned. Do 
not go away. This injunction is to 
restrain only certain members of 
the Adventist conference and others 
unknown. The order does not re-
strain a meeting by those in the as-
sociation." 
Dr. Harris then made a. motion to 
recess until 5 p. m. and since Dr. 
Kellogg had left the room, he him-
self put the motion to those as-
sembled. 
The record of the so-called "rump" 
i!D<!etling which convened at 5 p. m. 
was next read

sian to order and on successive mo-

was made chairman and Dr. Cqlver, 
secretary. There were 37 persons 
present. A nominating conunittee 
was named. ShortlY after this ·ac-
tion, a recess was ta1ten and all of 
the 241 new roembers selected by 
the church workers who eould be 
found were invited into the session.

by church workers at a con-
ference in Kalamazoo on 
March: 30 and then carried

Stenographic reports of the Kala-

After there had been considerable 
dl&cussion as to how many members 
the church would permit the Sanl-

constituents, the record showed that 
Dr. Benton N. Colver made a mo-

•Rump' Session Described 
Wben trial of the case was re-
onuned at 1 :30 Monday afternoon, 
details of the so-called •'rump" 
meeting of the Sanitarium constitu-
ents were revealed for the first 
time. A stenograpWc report of the 
proceedings read Into the record by 
Mr. Sigler showed that this session, 
at which new "trustees" were elect-
ed.' was attended by 243 persons and 
was held after the full list of 241 
xrsons signed up by the Adventist 
conference workers had been ad-
mitted to membership. The normal 
membership in the constituent group 
of the sanitarium had been a few 
more than 80. 
.t	torney Ballard, chief eouusel 
for the Adventists, was not In court 
yesterday. He was ill at hls home in 
Lansing. His associate counael, Cl&Y-
ton P. Jennings, cmrrled on with 
the assistance of Elder Branson 
and Dr. llarrls, both of whom sat at 
the counsel table. 
The transcript of the annual 
meeting of the Sanitarium con-
stltueucy showed that the tlrst-day 
session on March 31 was not ad-
journed until 1 :O'l a. m. an the fol-
lowing morning. During !he hectic 
evening session, it was voted 15 to 
l3 to require the Sanitarium to ac-
cept the membership roll book pre-
pared by the church members and 
the $15,910 In cash that bought 150 
permanent memberships and 91 an-
nual memberships. 
It then developed !hat the Sani-
tarium. had some new members to 
propose, and Dr. Charles E. Stewart 
made a. motion that the roster of· 
fered by the Sanitarium be rejected. 
"fhis motion wM defeated, 16 to 10. 
Only one name was read from the 
llst, however, and this met with ob-
jection from B. C. Kirkland. 
No 
turther names were proposed from 
tpe Sanitarium list. 
The record showed that soon af-
ter the meeting re-convened on 
.t\Jifll 1, a deputy sherUf appeared 
on the plm;form and read an injunc-
tion which had been obtained by 
c:ouru;el :(or the Sanitarium. 
~'I have here an injunction that 
restzains furUher meetings," the 
deputy told the assembly. Dr. Kel-
logg, presiding as chairman, then 
declared the meeting adjourned "by 
order of the court." 
Kept :1\Ieetinc Goinc 
Some members then started to 
leave the hall, the minutes reported, 
but Dr. Harris arose and declared, 
•·The meeting is not adjourned. Do 
not go away. This injunction Is to 
restrain only certain members of 
the Adventist conference and others 
unknown. The order does not re-
~~Strain a meeting by those in the as-
sociation.·· 
Dr. Harris then made a motion to 
recess until 5 p. m. and since Dr. 
Kellogg had lelt the room, he him-
self put the motion to those as-
sembled. 
The record o! the so-called ''ramp" 
which convened at 5 p. m. 
wu next read in court.

Coun!el for the Sanitarlwn is ex-
pected to recall Dr. Rowland H. 
Harris, one of the defendants, to 
the witness stand when trial of the 
:Injunction suit brought by the Sanl-
tariwn aga1nst the Seventh-day

Trial of the case was begun We -
nesday morning 11nd when it was 
recessed for the week-end on Fri-
day noon, Dr. Harris had been ~he 
only witness called. He is 
be1~g 
cross-examined by Attorney Kim 
Sigler of the Sanitariwn counsel.· 
During the two and a half d&ys 
that the trial has oeen in progress, 
the seats reserved for spectators have 
been well filled, with church elders 
and officials of the Adventist con-
ference occupying front-row seats .. 
Dr. Harris and Dr. Charles E. Stew-
art. another defendant, have been 
5eated. inside the rail at the defense 
counsel table, along with Elder W. 
H. Branson, vice president of th~ 
conference. 
Follow Definite l>attern 
Thus far the conduct of the trial 
' has followed a 
definite pattern, 
which is likely to be altered after 
reading of letters and documents in 
the posse&Sion of · the Sanitarium 
counsel is completed. Thus ta1·, the 
;procedure has been the reading of 
a letter or report bY Attorney Sig-
ller, followed by questioning of Dr. 
· a.rdinlr tbe doeUJDelrt. 
Under cross~examlnation Dr. Har-. 
:ris has been questioned particularly 
concerning his own letters and the 
correspOndence of others showing 
that he, while a trustee of the Sani-
tarium, furnished facts 'alld figures 
concerning the institution to the 
heads 6f the Adventist church in

Blaine W. Hatch, who is conducting 
the trial: 
Judge Pays Compliment 
· "The witness is very fair and 
. :frank in his answers. Even when 
the testimony is against him he ad-
mits the facts," the judge said. 
Action against the Adventists and 
more than 40 defendants was start-
ed by the Sanitarium on April 1 
While the annual meeting o! the 
constituency of the institution was 
in progress. The Sanitariwn seeks 
to ha.ve the Adventist church and 
its associates permanently restrain-
ed from interfering in its affairs. 
Evidence has been introduced to 
~&how that the program to take over 
control of the Sanitariwn was in-
augurated as long ago as last Sep-
tember, when an amount up to $10.-
000 was authorized by the Adventist 
conference "to assure a. full at-
tendance of the constituency of the 
sanita1·iwn." 
Minutes of church 
meetings, scores o! letters and other 
messages have been introduced in an 
effort 1o allow bow th1e pltm wu 
fostered. On Pebrua.ry 12 a slate of 
new trustees for the Sanitarium was 
proposed. 
Letters to qonstituents 
who were favorable to the church 
plan were sent to all parts of the 
i:ountcy. Paid Expenses Here 
Gen~ral mailing of -a letter on 
Fcbr)lary 10 offered train or plane 
:tare to Battle Creek, plus remunera-
tion for dally living expenses, hotel 
bUls and for time lost from employ-
ment. Many came to the Sanitarium 
annual meeting from points .as dis• 
tant as Florida and California. 
Further documents have been read 
iJlto the court record showing that 
chu1·ch leaders met here in Dr. Har-
l'is' office on February 12. It was 
disclosed also that at a conference 
held in Kalamazoo on March 3o-
the day before the sanitarium meet-
;l.ng-that the church workers se-
lected floor leaders and a ,nominat-
in&' committee. 
It is expected that the trial will 
last at least three more weeks. At 
the conclusion of the plaintiff's case, 
the Adventist chw·ch and other de-
:tendants will make answer to the 
chtu:ge that they have joined in a 
conspiracy to defraud the Sani-
tarium and take over its assets, 
which the defendants deny.

Plan to Remove 
Kel!ogg Hospital 
Told· at Trial 
BATTLE CREEK, July 30-Dr. 
Rowland H. Harris, former chief 
st:rgeon of Kellogg Sanitarium 
and a leader in the move to take 
the control of the sanitarium 
from Dr. John H. Kellogg and 
turn it over to the general con-
ference of the Seventh Day Ad-
ventists, spent another full day 
under cross-examination by Kim 
Sigler, attorney for Dr. Kellogg, 
in the injunction trial before 
Judge Blaine W. Hatch. 
Thursday's testimony disclosed 
the religious fervor of members 
of the Adventists associated with 
Dr. Kellogg in the building of the 
sanitarium, as revealed in a letter 
written by. Eva M. Shively, now 
a. teacher m the Corning (Cal.) 
High School, who refers to herself 
as a "helper" at the sanitarium 
in 1898. 
She said that she realized after 
~ conversation with Dr. Kellogg 
m 1905 that "the Lord's plan has 
not been followed, and that he no 
longer upheld the standards of 
thethir~ angel's message." 
She 
also sa1d that Dr. Kellogg had 
belittled the teachings of the 
"mark of the beast," and had 
termed as a hoax the prophecies 
of Sister Ellen G. White. 
BUILDINGS DESTROYED 
(According to available rec-
ords, Sister White, who was then 
the head of the Seventh Day Ad· 
ventists, at the Mother Church 
in Battle Creek, had prophecied 
calamity upon Battle Creek, and 
the sanitarium if it ·stayed there 
followin~ which four of the build~ 
ings, including the sanitarium and 
the tabernacle, were destroyed by 
fire. 
The Mother Church was 
then moved to Tacomb Park 
Washington, D. C.) 
' 
Sister Shively, was one of the 
"constituents" who traveled to 
Battle Creek at the expense of 
the Seventh-Day Adventist to 
vote at the election at which, ac-
cording to Sigle, the plan to oust 
the present management of the 
sanitarium and gain control of 
the $700,00i and other assets now 
in the treasury was to be put into 
effect. 
PLANNED TQ MOVE 
Other letters read into the 
record revealed that if the Ad-
ventists gained control of the 
sanitarium they planned to move 
it from Battle Creek to some 
other city in Michigan. 
One letter, written by a fonner 
physician at the sanitarium who 
spoke feelingly of his affection 
for Dr. Kellogg, referred to the 
doctor as being in "his dotage" 
and too old to' handle so large a 
stated that the $700,000 should be 
useti to carry on the work of the 
Lora for which the sanitarium 
was originally intended. 
The minutes of a meeting of 
the general (Adventists) confer-
ence corporation held at Tacoma 
Park, on Oct. 7, 1942, was also 
read into the record. It author-
ized M. C. Taft, counsel for the 
general conference to "go to 
Michigan to take such steps as 
are necessary in the liquidation 
and disposition of the assets of 
the Battle Creek Sanitarium."

Court Advises 
Settlement of 
Sanitarium Suit 
BATTLE CREEK, Aug. 5-An 
attempt at an out-of-court settle-
ment of the law suit between the 
Battle Creek Sanitarium and the 
Seventh Day Adventists was or-
dered Wednesday by Judge Blaine 
W. !fatch, after one witness, 0. R. 
Stames of Lorna Linda, Cal., had 
been heard. 
Judge Hatch told the opposing 
lawyer sto take the day off and 
get together w try for a possible 
ettlement, "before further anj-
mosities were engendered." 
Following 
t h e 
adjournment 
Byron Ballard, Lansing, repre-
senting the Adventists, and church 
officers went to the Battle Creek 
Tabernacle of 
the 
Adventists 
where they were joined by John 
Dettmer, assistant state attorney 
general, acting for Atty. Gen. Her-
bert Rushton, who intervened in 
the suit "to protect the state's 
interest.'' 
$1,000,000 ASSETS 
The state's interest in the case 
centers al'Elund the $1,000,000 as-
sets of the Sanitarium Association, 
a charitable organization incor-
porated under Michigan Trust 
Laws. The Adventists are seeking 
control of the sanitarium and its 
assets through the voting mem-
bershiJ;> kn<?wn as the constituency. 
No meeting betwen the opposi-
tion lawyers had been held up to 
a late hour• Wednesday night, ac-
1 
cording to Burritt Hamilton, one 
of Dr. Kellogg's attorneys. Mr. 
Hamilton said that he expected 
the case to proceed as scheduled. 
STRATEGY PLANNED 
Mr. Staines, the last of four 
witnesses irttroduced by the Ad-
ventists, told under cross exam-
ination by Kim Sigler, Kellogg 
attorney, of being a member of a 
four-man steering committee ap-
pointed by Elder Branston, Wash-
ington Adventist leader, and of 
attending meetings 
at 
Which 
strategy for the annual meeting 
was planned. 
The $1.000,000 assets around 
which the court ftght hinges is the 
surplus of the $2,260,000 received

Motions Argued 
In San vs. S.D. A. 
Possibility Seen That Attorney 
General May Become 
Porty to Suit. 
PUBLIC 
TRUST 
CLAIMED 
Possibility that the attorney gen-
eral of Michigan may become a party • 
to the court action brought by the 1 
Battle Ct·eek Sanitarium against the 
Seventh-day Adventist church and 
other defendants was forecast this 
morning when arguments on three 
motions were heard before Judge 
Blaine W. Hatch !n circuit court at 
Marshall. 
Counsel for Dr. John Harvey Kel-
logg and the Sanitarium asked Judge 
Hatch to mal~e the attorney general 
a party to the suit on the ground 
that a public trust is involved in tl'le 
efforts of AdventlsLs and their ns.-;o-
ciates to acquire control of the Sani-
tariwn. The judge ruled, however, 
that while he declined to issue st:ch 
an order that if the attorney gen-
eral ask~ to intervene, he will be 
permitted to do so. 
To Produce Records 
No court ruling was nece~sary on 
the motion to 1·equire the Adventist 
Conference Corp. to produce a b1g 
volume of letters, tele:srams and 
written records, since counsel for do-
fendants consented to produce them. 
Judge Hatch held in abeyance a 
ruling on the motion to add 29 men. 
and women as parties defendant. 
counsel for Dr. Kellogg suggesting 
that a ruling could be made if it 
develops duri:1g the course of ~he 
trial that it will be necessary to m-
clude these other parties. 
The court case had its inception 
when Dr. Kellogg and the Sanita-
rium obtained an injunction against 
the Adventist church and other de-
fendants. restraining them from In-
terfering in the affairs of the Sani-
1 tariwn. The injunction was Issued 
fon April 1.

San ouse Count 1 
Best in Months 
Total of 220 Now Registered 
At Institution; Treatment 
Method Shortened. ' 
WAITING 
LIST 
IS 
LARGE 
The length o! time necessary for 
treatment of various ailmenu has J 
been considerably shortened by the 
8anitarlwn 
in 
recent 
months, 
through illlprovement o! n1ethod.s 
and facilities and Institution of a 
new educational program, desiglled 
to make possible treatment of more -
patients, Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, 
director, has announced. 
In a statement la.st week, Dr. 
Kellogg said that the house count 
at the Sanit.arium now is. 220, con-
time last year. It also abowa 
Jtiderable galn since reestablishment 
last August of theo institution in 
present quarters. The Sanitarium 
was moved at that time from its 
former main buildings, which 
purchased by the war de:pa:rt11ne11t 
and ow house Percy Jones General 
hospital. 
For a time, patronage wa.s small, 
because the new quarters were be-
ing renovated and enlarged. How-
ever, as soon 'liS the present build-
ings were ready for use, the house 
count began rising and now has 
reached capacity proportions. Dr. 
Kellogg said that there is a list of 
reservations, numbering more than 
100, which is growing daily. 
Some 
of these persons on the reservation 
list have come to Battle Creek al-
reaiy and are staying in local hotels 
until they can be accommodated by 
the Sanitarium. 
More 'Ra,pid Turnover 
The shortening of treatment time 
announced by the director is a move 
to facilitate more rapid turnover of 
patients, so that more can be cai·ed 
for. 
Methods of treatment ha 
been broug~t up to date and new, 
mode1n equipment has made more 
rapid treatment possible. However, 
the high spot of the new program is 
the educational project. 
Through 
this means, patients will be able to 
colltinue at home, under instruction 
by correspondence, the most import-
ant features of the treatment and 
regimen which they have found to 
be most conducive to improvement 
of their conditions. 
The correspondence "treatment" 
1s of particular significance, because 
it not only enable the patient to go 
home sooner than would otherwise be 
possible, thus saving time and money 
for him, but it offers continued serv-
jces of specialists at the Sanitarium 
for the duration of illness in m'any 
cases. 
New methods and practices re-
eently 
instituted 
include 
more 
thorough-going use of physiotlil!:ra-
peutic mea.sures, such as infra-red, 
artificial sun bathing, and nOD-PU• 
tre!active regimen, &S well &S othet' 
measures developed here by Dr. ~1-

Possibility Seen That Attorney 
General May Become 
Party to Suit. 
PUBLIC 
TRUST 
CLAIMED 
Possibility tl1at the attorney gen-
eral of Michigan may become a party • 
to the court action brought by the 
Battle Creek Sanitarium against the 
Seventh-day Adventist church and 
other defendants was forecast this , 
morning when arguments on three 
motions were heard before Judge 
Blaine w. Hatch in circuit court at 
Marshall. 
Counsel for Dr. John Harvey Kcl-. 
logg and the Sanitarium asked Judge 
Hatch to malce the attorney general 
a party to the suit on the ground 
that a public tru 
is involved in the 
efforts of Adventists and their ns\;o-
ciates to acquire control of the Sani-
tarium. The judge ruled, however, 
tllnt while he declined to issue such 
an order, that if the attorney gen-
eral asks to intervene, he will be 
permitted to do so. 
To Produce Records 
No court ruling was nece3sary on 
the motion to require the Adventist 
Conference Corp. to produce a big 
volume of letters, tele3rams and, 
written records, since counsel for ds-
fendants consented to produce them. 
Judge Hawh held in abeyance !!-
ruling on the motion to add 29 men 
and women as parties defendant. 
counsel for Dr. Kellogg sugo·esting 
that a ruling could be made if it 
develops duri::lg the course of the 
trial that it will be necessary to in-
clude these other parties. 
The court case had its inception 
when Dr. Kellogg and the Sanita-
rium obtained an injunction against 
the Adventist church and other de-
fendants, restraining them. from i~-J 
terfering in the affairs of the Sam-
ta~·ium. The injunction ·was issued 
on April 1.

Name or the club origin¥ed out 
of the memory· of some of the 
older metllbers, who quoted a. leg-
endary 11tory that Or. John Harvey 
Kellogg once encountered a group 
of his patients seated in a row on 
a bench, smoking. He pronounced 
them "sitmers." 
Another veteran 
recalled the time when Dr. Kel-
logg was addressing a meeting and 
declared that there i~ enough nico-
tine ill two packages of cigarets to 
kill a cat. Someone called out: "It 
loots as though cats would have to

The club members have their fun, 
but are called upon occasionally to 
share in traa-edy as well. Jack Plain 
of Cleveland, another memper of 
the club, recelved the news that hls 
son had met death in the at·my air 
corps and that his body J::tad been 
washed ashore in Australia. 
Cha1·1es Aukennan, the Detroit 
banker, now in charge of operating 
the Hupmobile properties. has s'ign-
ed up, and J. M. Ahearn. of Toronto, 
had his Yisit cut short because ot the 
limitation placed on money that he 
could bring out of Canada. He made 
a trip back to Toronto for additi~n­
al funds and returned to the Sani-
tarium again. 
The club's authority on bird and 
insect life is Horace Groskin of Ard· 
more, Pa.., a suburb of Philadelphia. 
He has lectured extensively on these 
subjects and has kept the members 
well posted on what our feathered 
friends and mosquitoes are up to. 
There's no telUng where this all 
may lead to, the firemen say. New 
members are being signed up every 
day so the membership is growing 
rapidly. 
One of the big ventures 
now under way is lining up a giant

tended by all members of "Sinrters'

One of the famed members of the 
club is Edward H. Crump, political

San Injunction 
Against Church 
Goes on Trial 
History of Institution Reviewed 
As Dr. R. H. Harris Takes 
Stand Today. 
TELLS OF DISAGREEMENTS 
Old record books were 
ousted off and recent events 
in Sanitarium history re-
viewed today as Dr. Row-
land H. Harris, a defendant, 
took the stand in circuit 
court as the first witness in 
trial of the injunction suit1of 
the Sanitarium and Dr. J. H. 
Kellogg against the Seventh-
day Adventist church and 
other defendants. 
The case is being heard by Judge 
:Blaine W. Hatch without a jury. 
"This bill has been filed to estab-
lish fraud and conspiracy in an at-
tempt to gain control of $700,000 in 
cash and $300,000 in other assets o! 
the Sanitarium," Attorney Kim Sig-
ler of the Sanitariwn counsel told 
the court in his opening statement. 
Mr. Sigler then briefly recounted 
the corporate history of the Sani-
tarium, the events leading up to the 
--ual meeting of its constituency 
on March 31 and April 1 this year 
and the obtaining of injunctions by 
Dr. Kellogg to restrain the defend-
ants from interfering in buslnC6S af-
fairs of the institution. 
State It Represented 
John R. Dethmers, assistant at-
torney general, sat at the counser 
table e.s representative of the state. 
"The attorney general is taking

mera 88tkt· "A* tbil time we ......, 
.tiled no pleadings, but we are aU-
inC l)ljrmiision to tile at such time 
as it may be considered appropriate 
or necessary." 
Dr. Kellogg appeared in court for 
a short time, but soon left.

Dr. Barris Relates History 
Under questioning of Attomey 
Sigler, Dr. Harris traced his own 
hlstory and his connections With 
Dr. Kellogg and the Sanitariwn. Dr. 
Harris testified that he came to 
Battle Creek in 1897 and first wof.k-
ed as a bell boy at the Sanitarium. 
He continued working there while 
attending the Amet1can Medical 
Missionary college, from which he 
was graduated in 1901. 
He con-
tinued on the college faculty until 
the &ehool was closed in 1910. From 
1910 to 1915, he said, he was assis-
tant to Dr. Kellogg. From 1915 until 
hbJ resignation In 1919, Dr. Harris 
wu associate surgeon at the Sani-
tarium. 
I;Iarris stated that he relnaln.,_ 
t'n private practice until 
May 15, 1930, when he went to Cali-
fornia as a representative of w. K. 
Kellogg to investigate a possible 
cure for cancer and after a. 
and a half entered private practice 
in Los Angeles. While in California 
he studied law for a year. Then 
In 1936, "at the request of Dr. 
Kellogg and the receiver of the 
Sanitariwn," he returned to the in-
stit.ution as chief surgeon, remain-
ing untU Dec. 1, 1939. 
Under further questioning, :6r. 
Harris testified that he had joined 
the Adventist church at the age 
of 12, but that his name had been 
removed from the rolls by the 
church. He said he did not know 
when this action was taken but that 
It WBB sometime between 1908 and 
1915. 
In an effort to establish that the 
Adventist church has no coxmectlon 
with the Sanitarium, Mr. Sigler read 
from minutes of the Sanitarium 
board meeting of Sept. 3, 1902, which 
..ad: "It was voted that the San1-
tal'lum board will not favor any 
plan for putting the Sanitariwn 
under control of the Seventh-day 
Adventist conference or the Sev-
enth-day Adventist Union: do.Dfer-
ence."

late George Judd collaborated on 
a letter in 1942 which was mailed 
to three-fourths of the constitu-
ents, and that it was not mailed 
to the others because it was be-
lieved they had made up their

Sigler, was written by Elder W. H. 
Branson, executive vice pre.:;ldent 
of the Adventist Conferen;:e, to Dr. 
George· Thomason 'of Los Angeles. 
Said Elder Branson: 
~ 
"The brethren all !eel thai v•lth 
the funds that will be available, we 
should be able to conduct a very 
fine m~:qic11.l work .either in Battle 
Creek or somewhere else in the 
state. 
A large number feel that 
perhaps. It should be l<Jcatcd 11ear 
one of the larger cities."

troduced while Dr. Rowland H. Har-
ris, a trustee of the Sanitariwn who 
Is among the defendants in the .suit, 
stlll coAtinued o~. the witness stand. 
Mr. Sigler then questioned Dl'. Har-
ris concerning the idea of closing 
out the local Sanitarium: 
Q. 
<By Mr. Sigler). Did church 
officials discuss with you the idea

Ways Exp(ained \ 
To Retain faith\ 
Or. Will Durant Says Thej 
Are Three Approaches to 
A Philosophy of life •. 
SPEAKS 
AT 
SANITARIUM 
Dr. Will Durant, famous authOr 
and lecturer, offered explanations I 
of some of the deeper problems 1 
of human existence in a lecture at\ 
the college auditorium of the' Sani-\ 
tarwn last night. His subject was 
"A Philosophy of Life for Our ! 
Times." 
HiS object, he said, was to inquire 
how we may retain our faith and 
joy l,n life an~ man in this troublous 
period. 
"Such maladies as poverty, slums, 
class hostility and political dor-
ruption are always present. Now on · 
top of these came war, vaster and 
more terrible than ever before. It 
was one of the worst scenes that 
God had ever looked down on. We 
shudder to thing of the 30 Chris-
tians, soaked with oil, whom Nero 
had burned as a public spectacle. 
Yet a thousand times worse was 
what the Germans had done to the 
Poles and the Jews. 
"All this had brought to manY 
a sense of fatalism, of the utter 
helplessness of human endeavor. It 
suggested the horrible tl10ught that 
all things were uncertain but death. 
That was the great evil of our time,

that man's whole significance and 
clignity should be taken away from 
him. This was worse than war. 
Three Methods Open 
"There 
were 
three ways 
of 
dealing 
with 
this 
picture," Dr. 
Durant said. "The first was meta-
physical. 
We should try to see 
evil in the perspective of the whole 
universe. With our finite minds we 
cannot fully do this but we can 
approach it. Thus if you want to 
play tennis and its rains. y,ou are 
vexed. Yet if you take a broader 
view you may see that the rain is 
really a good. You think good means 
anything good for you but can God 
accept your definition? 
In this 
of the simplest fool is the most 
1 
marvelous thing in the wQrld. There ' 
ls a god within us. 
This is the 
essence of our lives. 
We should 
fel that amid all the evil whi~h
. 
surrounds us there is a divinity \ 
within us and that some divinity 
remains in this questionable world." 
Dr. Durant was introduced by 
Dr. 1i:mil Leffler, dean of Albion 
college. 
view there is no good or evn...:..they 
are relative. 
We regard war as 
an evil yet lt may be necessary, 
Is it then an evil? The destruction 
of Rome by the barbarians was 
bad, but it may have been deserved 
by the corruption which existed. 
The fall of France in 1940 may 
have been what that country needed. 
But this metaphysical approach was 
weak and brought us no comfort or I 
eheer. 
1 
"Next came the Darwinian view, 
that we are animals and nothing 
more. We should enjoy being ani-
mals. It is a delight to hear, see, 
work with our hands and to eat." 
Here Dr. Durant injected that in no 
othe place was the food so delicious 
as at the Sanitarium. He continued 
that one experience of love alone 
made life wortll living. The healthy 
animal could take anything in his 
stride. Only the weakling wanted 
everything to go his way. Eternal 
peace was to be had only in the 
cemetery. Competition was the life 
of trade and also the trade of life. 
Idealistic View 
"Then there was the idealistic 
view of !He and evil," Dr. Duran 
said. "This meant that philosophy 
began with ideas and not with 
things. 
Science showed only the 
external part of things. What was 
the essence of the individual? It 
";as desire; vitality, ambition, the 
will to be more, to grow; that is, in 
a healthY organism. The body was 
created by the soul. 
Ife . cre11ted 
matter. There was a mind in thmgs 
as well as in ourselves. 
Science 
cannot see it: the answer is re-
ligion. If science tore away every-
thing from the world it would miss 
the essence of it. Man is not a 
helpless fragment. He is the center 
of creation. The simplest thought

Sanitarium Case 
Trial Postponed 
Delay Granted Until July 27 
Because of tllness of One 
Of Counsel. 
Trial of the circuit court case of 
the · Battle Creek sanitarium and 
Dr. John Harvey Kellogg versus the 
Seventh-day Adventist Conference 
and other defendants has been post-
poned bY Judge Blaine W. Hatch 
until July 27. The trial had pre-
viously been set for June 29. · 
The delay was granted at the re-
quest of Attorney Byron Ballard of 
Lansing, representing six of the de-
~ fendants, who reported that his as-' 
sociate counsel, M. C. Taft of Wash-
ington, is ill. Mr. Taft is general 
counsel for the Seventh-day Adven-
tist Conference Corp. 
An early date had been set for the 
trial under agreement by both par-
ties, in consideration of which Judge 
Hatch has withheld action in regard 
to motions filed by the defense that 
an injunction obtained by Dr. Kel-
logg on April 1, be set aside or modi-
fied. These motions are still being 
held in abeyance pending the trial. 
Dr. Kellogg obtained his injunc-
tion on April 1 in the midst of the 
annual meeting of the Sanitarium 
constituency. 
This court writ re-
strained the Adventist church and 
certain others from interfering :iri 
the affairs of the Sanitarium. After 
the injunction was issued, a session 
of the constituency was held and a 
new board of trustees was elected.

Lines in the struggle for

second time to forestall what 
he charged was an attempt 
1y the Seventh-day Adven~

,stitution. 
The 91-year-old doctor, involved 
In what perhaps was the climactic 
struggle of his long and colorful 
career, struck back vigorously at his 
adversaries with two circuit court 
injunctions.

Kellogg obtained an injunction from 
Circuit Judge Blaine W. Hatch this 
noon restraining those elected "from 
intermeddling or interfering with 
the property, business or affairs" of 
the Sanitarium. 
This injunction was to be served 
on the challenged trustees this a!·

name and that of the association. 
obtained his first injunction yester-
day afternoon.

Also attached to the petition were 
copies of resolutions by the associa-

and the Race Betterment 
Foundation concerning the use of 
the Foundation buildings by the 
Sanitarium. They provide that the 
Sanitarium should bear the expense 
of upkeep and maintenance of the 
buildings, and that if the Sanita-
rium or Foundation should part 
from them, that an adjustment 
should be made "on a fair and 
equitable basis," taking into con-
sideration value of the use of the 
premises, reasonable depreciation 
and fair value to the occupant.

The letter set forth the fact that 
the main Sanitarium buildings were 
sold to the army for $2,260,000, and 
that once debts were paid, the in-
stitution·s assets amounted to $1,-
000,000, including the assets of the

Challenges Validity of Meeting · 
Dr. Kellogg's stand-on last night's 
meeting is that it was improper and 
Its ,actions consequently not valid. 
The meeting was adjourned by mo-
tion and vote with no date set for 
reconvening, his spokesmen said. 
Consequently, the meeting held last 
night can not be held legal since 
it was not subject to the written 
notice and calling procedure speci-
fied by the association's by-laws, 
according to Dr. Kellogg's spokes-
men. 
The injunction obtained today was 
based upon an amendment to the 
petilion filed yesterday, and obvi-
ously was the direct result of the 
election action at 
the 
Thursday 
night meeting. 
The amendment stated: 
"That Dr. Kellogg and the Sani-
tarium believe that nine persons are 
about to convene on this day to or-
ganize a pretended board of trustees, 
and that certain of them, . namely 
Dr. Charles E. Stewart, Dr. Rowland 
H. Harris, Elder T. G. Bunch, Elder 
J. J. Netherly, Elder S. E. Wight 
and Dr. H. M. Walton, unless re-
tarium. 
Elder Branson's J.etter pointed out 
'that the Sanitarium is now housed 
in property owned by the Race Bet-
terment Foundation and that $300,-
000 had been spent to accomplish 
this. 
He 
declared 
that 
reliable 
information was to the effect that 
no occupancy contract, nor agree-
ment about pay, existed between 
the Sanitarium and the Founda-
tion, and that Dr. Kellogg dOII!i-
nates the Foundation. 
The letter alleged the proposed 
as saying. 
The petition included an exhibit 
copy of the letter, which was cred-
ited to Elder Branson. 
Denies Merger Was Coming Up · 
The petition dec~red that assets 
of the association "'were not dissi-
pated by the management and that 
the "merger plan" referred to in 
Elder Branson's letter (the pro-
posal to combine '!!be Sanitarium 
and the Race Betterment Founda-
tion) was not within the purposes 
of the association's annual meeting 
and could not have been subject for 
a legal vote there. 
Dr. Kellogg's petition stated that 
before any vote upon trustees was 
taken, the votes of all members un-
der compensation or reimbursement 
by the Adventist conference 
was 
challenged by Dr. James T. Case 
of Chicago on the following grounds: 
1-That they were not free to ex-
press an independent choice; 2-
that the association by charter is a 
non-sectarian group and that a vote 
designed to place the institution 
under sectarian control is in viola-
tion of the charter; 3-that in the 
election of trustees administration 
of a trust is involved and it 
is 
against policy of the law for a. mem-
ber to bargain away or modify his 
right to vote freely. 
Recalls Sale Gf Buildings 
Referring to tlle sale o! the Sa.ni-
tar~um buildings to the army, the 
pet1tion set forth that the transfer 
to present buildings was necessarily 
made speedler under an "equitable 
agreement" with the Race Better-
ment Foundation, title holder of the 
premises. 
It further maintained 
that for 40 years Dr. Kellogg de-
voted much of his efforts to the as-
sociation and its predecessor with-
out salary, and averred that opera-
tion of a sanitariu.xn can not be safe-
ly entrusted to inexperienced hands."

It was a mighty change in

but the Sanitarium's change-.

the future is faced with con-

it is there that the offices of phy-
sicians and the x-ray department 
are housed. 
Plans Being Laid 
Sanitarium 
officials now are 
working on plans for a dedication 
of the rebom Sanitarium, probably 
in February, and the institution 
faces the new year ready to care 
for all those who wish to come. An 
effort will be made this year, also, 
tb make the residents of the com-
munity more familiar with the San-
itarium, with the prospect that 
many will go there for medical or 
surgical attention, thus relieving the 
other hospitals which have during 
the last year been crowded much 
of the time. 
Fh·st announcement of the gov-
ernment's pllfChase of the main 
buildings was made May 15 in De-
troit. The original purchase price 
was $2,251,100, and in October an

Working on Barracks 
At present. work is being con-

one for bachelor officers. three for 
nurses and five for enlisted men. 
This work has been delayed by poor

1,500 Bed-Capacity 
When announcement was made in 
May of the purchase of the main 
Sanitarium buildings for conversion 
into the army hospital, it was ex-
pected the new institution would 
accommodate 1.000 patients but in 
September the war department an-
nounced plans to expand the hos-
pital to 1.500 bed-capac	y. 
The 
entire cost of the hospital, includ-
ing the purchase price of $2.341,100 
paid to the Sanitarium, Is less than 
$4.000,000, 
whereas 
Colonel Kirk 
estimated recently that a f,500-bed 
unit built from the ground up of 
wooden frame construction would 
cost $4.000.000 and a 1,000-bed hos-
pital of brick and tile construction 
would cost between $4,500,000 and 
$5.000,000. 
Among Sanitarium buildings ncr.v 
being used by the army hospital are 
both the old and new portions of 
the main building; two wings to the 
rear of the old building, formerly 
used as men's and women's baths, 
the central heatfng plant, a. ware-
bouse on Hill 
t.reet. several 
tages, East hall and the outdoor 
swimming pool. 
Cottages and the 
warehouse have been razed to make 
way for the barracks, East hall has 
'been: con crt d 1nt a home for en-
11 ted men with a capacity of 175 
men, and other buildings are being 
converted for use by the army. 
Because WOI;k has been slowed on 
the barracks, enlisted men are be-
ing housed Lempot·arlly in the old 
men's bath building, with hospital 
beds being set up in the temporary 
barracks. 
One for Every Patient 
The hospital will have a capacity 
of approximately five times as many 
patients as Community, Lelia and 
Osteopathic hospitals together, and 
will employ nearly one person for 
every patient, including officers, en-
listed men, nurses, nurses' aides, 
dietitians and civilian employes. 
There will be about 75 officers, 
more than 700 enlisted men, 160 
nurses. aides and dietitians, and 500 
civilian employes-or a total per-
sonnel of over 1,400 persons. 
Percy Jones general hospital is 
a permanent army post with its 
own postoffice, post command, and 
facilities of all kinds-a veritable 
city within itself. 
There wlll be 
complete equipment in every de-
partment and the medical and sur-
gical staffs include some of the 
leading specialists from all over the 
nation. 
The hospital was named for the 
late Col. Percy L. Jones. who sel'Ved 
as a medical officer in the army 
for more than 30 years and was 
decorated with the distinguished 
service medal after the First World 
war. 
Colonel Jones was a close 
friend of Colonel Kirk.

May Help Dependents 
Service of the institutio 
will be 
broad and the hospital probably 
will not limit its services to army 
personnel but will open its doors to 
members of the marine corps and 
navy as well, and to dependents of 
army officers and enlisted men. 
Its functions du1·!ng the present 
war will be to care for patients 
from base hospitals throughout the 
Sixth Service Command area who 
nE]ed extended hospitalization or 
speciallzed 
care, 
and 
to 
treat 
wounded men who are sent back to 
the United States !rom the war 
fronts. 
Colonel Kirk says that the 
hospital probably will receive war 
casualties as the hospitals on the 
easL coa.ts are filled. It also will be 
called on to hospitalize enlisted 
men in the coast guard who became 
ill or are injured while in training 
at the four lake camps operated by 
the Battle Creek coast guard sta-
tion, 
To Train Dentists 
In addition to its services, the 
hospital will probably set up a 
training "pool'' for dental officers, 
to train newly-commissioned den-
tal officers who have ha.d no pre-
vious army training -
giving them 
a montti s study in use of 
denta 
l'CCOl'd.s and routine, 
as some drill and basic training, 
designed to familiarize them with 
general army practice,s. 
All medical officer , as well as 
enlisted men. who ha•e had no 
prev-1 
basic training are being 
given training at _the ho pital. The 
old 
Sanitarium gymnasium 
and 
other hospital facilities, as well as 
the playground of Ann J. Jellogg 
school are used for training and 
drill work. 
One set back during the year was 
a fire in October, started by a spark 
from a welder's acetylene torch,

in the basement of what was the 
Sanitariwn men·s bath. 
Damage 
to the mattresses ( 400 to 500 in am

Colonel Kirk. All tbe damage bas

A. Ross, former head of the de-
partment of sociology at the Uni-
versity of Wisconsin, who is here 
to l~ture at 8 p. m. Tuesday in the 
Samtarium audftorium. 
Using as his thesis the tact that 
warfare has increased greatly in 
ferocit since the last war, and the 
fact tliat attack now has the upper 
hand o~er defense, he ill speak on 
the SUbJect, "A Sociologist Looks at 
War." 
Three main weapons of attack 
the tank, submarine torpedoes and 
bombing planes, have been develop-
ed and perfected during the last 24 
years and these three weapons make 
defense very different on any lavge 
scale, Dr. Ross said. 
He likened wars to feuds 
wel).t on for scores of Years between 
tribes and clans until the Original 
cause was forgotten and said that 
the only way to stop them was by 
a world court such as the Lea.gue 
of Nations of the last war. 
Ask what he believed made the 
Leag~e of Nations faH, he replied 
that It was the lack of cooperation 
of the United States. If all of the

more rooms are available. 
While 
most of the occupants of the hos-
pital are bed patients, a few others 
can be moved there. Such patients 
would sleep there and have their 
treatments and meals in Kellogg 
hall. 
X-Ray Department Moved 
The x-ray department will be 
moved next week into new quarters 
1n the corridor building connecting 
Kellogg hall and the office build-
ing (fo1merly the Battle Creek col-
lege administration building.) The 
change has been delayed by difficul-
ties in obtaining priorities for cop-
per wiring, but temporary measures 
have been taken so that the ma-
chines can operate. A 500-milliam-
pere x-ray machine has been order-
ed for some time but also is held up 
by priorities. 
Meanwhile, a 200-
milliampere 
machine 
has 
been 
brought from Dr. John Harvey Kel-
logg's Miami-Battle Creek sanitari-
um at Miami Springs, Fla. 
The new accommodations of the 
x-ray department have been care• 
fully plaimed and will be an im-
. provement on those in the Sani-
tarium's former location, officials 
Bay, 
It will include an office and re-
ception room, two fluoroscopic and 
two radiographic rooms, one room 
each for cystoscopy and deep ther-
apy, and a dark room. The metab-
olism laboratory and blood test 
rooms also will be removed from 
Kellogg hall to the office builcflng. 
Separate mechanotherapy de.Pfl.rt-
ments for men and women now are 
being set up in the basement of the 
former college library building. To 
make room for them the space used 
by the record department Is to be 
lessened by removal of all records 
more than 10 years old. These will 
be stpred In an inner room of the 
basement. 
All Recorda Kept 
Records of the Sanitarium date 
back to 1866, when the institution 
was founded. At first all the in-
formatio9 about each patient was 
kept In books, but later an envelope 
system was installed. Each envelope 
contains aij the medical reports, 
memoranda and other documents 
pertaining to the individual. 
The 
cases have been numbered cpnsecu-
tively and there have been more 
than 255,500 of them., Each pat~nt 
retains his number on subsequent 
Visits. 
As many persons have re-
turned time and again, some of the 
envelopes and their contents weigh 
aeveral pounds. 
It Is anticipated tha.t patronage 
may rise to such a point this sum-
mer that some patients may have to 
be housed in Sanitarium buildings 
on Manchester street, now used for 
house employes. 
The number of patients receiving 
medical treatment at the Sanitar-
ium now Is rreater than when the 
institution was located in Its 
building. This is because a 
of those coming here came for rest 
or merely roomed at the Sanitarium. 
This practice is not beini followed 
in the smaller quarters. 
Autogyros Came in a

Autogyros were a flash in· the pan 
, so tar as the nation was concerned, 
although they may yet find an im-
portant place in the war. Battle

sition be approved by the a!firma-
tive vote of at least two-thirds of 
this membership, and they must be

Twice before meetings of the

The merger proposition already

All that has stood in the way oi 
final action Is approval of the mem-

84 members and the association's 
bylaws provide that such a propo-
sition be approved by the affirma-

this membership, and they must be

is taken. 
After Tuesday's meeting was can-

The division engineer's' office of 
the army in Chicago bas directed 
Colonel Kirk to furnish the ut!lltles 
to the Sanitarium on a month-to-
month basis and with the under-
standing that the hospital wm '.'ot 
continue to provide the serviCe m-
deflnltely. 
The release of heat, hot water and 
electt·lcity to the new quarters of 
the Sanltar!unt solves a major prob-
lem of the institution. John Harvey 
Kellogg hall, the old Sanitarium 
hospita'l building and the Battle 
C~:eek college library ·building, the 
three principal buildings to be oc-
cupied by the Sanitarium starting 
• Saturday, do .not have facUlties to 
provide the utilities. 
Can ()bange Later 
Later, Sanitarium officials said 
today, the three buildings can be 
connected to the city water system 
and electric lines, and a heating 
plant can be installed for the build-
ings, but for the time being, the 
Sanitarium is forced to depend upon 
the army hospital for such services. 
The moving of Sanitarium equip-
ment and furnishings from the 
main Sanitarium buildings sold to 
the army 10 weeks a.go was nearing 
its conclusion today, and Sani-
tal'iwn o!flciais predicted that the 
task mould be completed by l!'te 
Frtdar night, Scores o! workers and 
many moving vans are being Ulled In 
. <tmr.l'mle m<Wifts-jcb,---=oo 
Most of the patients and guests 
of the Sanitarium wm be moved to 
the old hospital building late this 
afternoon 
and 
Friday 
morning, 
Some of the guests already have 
beett transferred to the new San-
itarlwn quarters. 
The army Is ready to take over 
the 
main 
Sanitarium 
buildings 
Saturday morning and soon will 
start $250,000 worth of constructJOn 
work necessary to adapt the build-
l.ngs to army general hospital needs, 
polonel Kirk said this morning. 
Post Guards Saturday 
Guards w!ll be posted about the 
tnaln buildings starting Saturday 
morning, and only civ!l1ans who 
lla ve business to transact In the 
army hospital building will be per-
mitted to enter. 
Later, a fence 
will be constructed around all of the 
btlildings purchased from the Sani-
tariwn by the war department. 
Extensive repair<~ to East hall, In· 
eluding construction of a new roof, 
have been sta.rted un<l,er a1·my super-
vision preparatory to use of the 
lluilding as quarters for 175 enlisted 
men who will be assigned to the hos-
pital. 
Sixty-five enlisted men who al-
ready have arrived at the hospital 
are 'being quartered in cottages lo-
cated near tJ1e Sanitarium. 
About 
.August 15, 150 additional enlisted 
men willlbe assigned to the hospital. 
The hospital plans call for con-
struction of four 64-man barracks at 
the site of the brick warehouse on 
Hill street, one of the buildings pur-
chased by the war department. 
Not Ready for Patients 
Colonel Kirk said today that the 
hospital would not be ready to re-
ceive patients before the first of Oc-
tober. He predicted that the hospi-
'tal would be Increased In size from 
1,000 beds to 1,500 beds In the future, 
and said that "eventually we may 
Jbe called upaq to treat war casual-
ties." 
Several other buildings located 
near the Sanitarium will be furnish-
ed with heat, hot water and electricity 
by the army on a temporary basts 
>starting Saturday. 
They include 
the former Sanitarium creamery 
·building which now Is owned by the 
Asbley-Ferrell Dairy Co., the former 
SanitariUm 
Union 
building. now 
owned by the Recreation Center, and 
about six houses and cottages. 
For many years, the buildings have 
depended on the Sanitarium heating 
plant, its artesian wells, and its elec-
tric plant for heat, hot water and 
electricity.

In which the sanitarium was doing 
business.

serving of dinner to San!tarl m 
guests this evening. 
Moved 1n Wheel Chairs 
The thh·d place 1n which the Sanl-
tar!um was doing business was the 
Old Sanitarium hospital on Aldrich 
street. 
The building is being used 
to house bed-ridrlen patients, and 
a proximately 15 were moved there 
f~om the main sanitarium building~ 
Thursday afternoon. 
They v;ere 
tr!lnsported on stretchers an'\ in

A prediction inade two weekS ago 
by Dr John Harvey Kellogg, super-
intendent of the Sanitarium, that 
"We'll be moved into our new quar-
ters by August 1 and everyone will 
be happy" seemed to be coming true 
tod~;;.y guests were lounging this 
morning In the rear section of the 
Kellogg hall lobby which has been 
redecorated and has been equipped 
with attractive 
and 
comfortable 
furniture. The frottt section of the 
on the lower floor 
liill11011i..,. ... ...,~~~~ -.rt	 1urni-
ture as was the large porch o! the 
hall, but Sanitarium workers said the 
excess soon would be cl~ared a way. 
For about 12 long hours starting 
late Thursday afternoon things did 
not look so bright at the hall, how-
ever. The only elevator refused to 
work during the 12 hours when work· 
men neediKI. it to carry furniture 
the upper !loors. 
A cable on the elevator needed 
repairing, and It was not until early 
this morning that the job could 
be completed. Although stronger 
workmen carried some of the he,vy 
tuthiture up the hall stairs, much 
of it was piled on the first !loor 
of the building, with only small 
openings being "'eft for persons to 
walk down the ball or go to the 
ball desk. 
Another setback In the moving 
task came Thursday after workmen 
had equipped rooms on the second 
floor of the hall for use by guests. 
It was then decided that the rooms 
on the second floor should be ust;li 
for offices of physicians, and wori-
men had to remove the guest room 
furniture and equipment from the 
rooms and install office furniture. 
The Sanitarium had Intended to 
serve breakfast to guests this morn-
ing In the Kellogg ha.ll dinlngroom, 
but because of some confusion which 
developed after the break down of 
the elevator, it was decided to post-
pone the serving of the first meal 
in the hall until tonight. Breakfast 
1~~~:~~.serv.e4.J;c>da¥ in the 
of the main Sani-
tarium 
Many moving vans and small 
trucks have been used by the Sani-
tarium in its moving job during the 
last several days, some of them 
being brought here from other cities. 
Workmen who have been employed 
to help with the task have included 
several city firemen working on 
their days off. 
But the brunt of the moving tas)j: 
seemingly has been carried by thl! 
Sanitarium employes, working un-
der the leadership of Dr. Kellogg. 
Many Sanitarium wheelchairs have 
been used to transport various ar-
ticles from the main· buildings. 
This morning there was a con-
tinuous procession of Sanitarium 
employes walking to Kellogg hall, 
their arms loaded with blankets, 
lamps, and many other things. 
Excellent Spirits 
• 
The outstanding feature . of the 
entire picture seemed to be the ex-
cellent spirits of the workers, many 
Of whom have been working nearly 
24 hours a day for many days at the 
job which until today had not ap-
peared to have an end. 
Everyone 
was In the best of humor this morn-
ing. 
EquipMent and furniture which 
not be used In the new 
by the Institution, the principal one 
being the old Battle Creek college 
building. 
The auditorium of the Battle 
Creek college library building has 
been piled high with beds, mat-
tresses, chairs and tables. Other 
rooms on the first floor of the li-
brary building will house the Sani-
tarium business office, and the sec-
ond floor of the building will be the 
headquarters of the Sanitarium 'l"" 
tension department. 
Workmen today were building a 
foundation for a 
large corridor 
building whicb, will be erected. be-
tween the library building and Kel-
logg hall, and which will house of-
flees of physicians. 
Announcement was made today 
that the Sanitarium had purchased 
one of two elevators In the former 
Nichols hospital building,-part of 
which now Is being razed. It Is et-
pected ;hat the elevator will be In-
stalled either In Kellogg hall or In 
the corridor building. 
Fill'ht Seems Won 
Many days are certain to pass be-
fore the corridor building, Is con-
structed and various changes are 
made at Kellogg hall, the hospital 
building and the library building, 
but every indication today seemed 
to be that the Sanitarium had won 
its fight to reestablish Itself in other 
quarters; that it would continue to 
be an important factor in Battle 
Creek's life.

who have their offices on the sec-
ond floor of the hall. About 20 bed-
ridden patients of the Sanitarium · 
are being housed in the old hoe-
pita! building. 
While moving of the furniture and 
equipment was at its height Fri-
day, six new guests arrived at the 
Sanitarium, and were 'given rooms 
in Kellogg hall. A large number of 
persons from various points In the 
country WhQ had planned to arrive 
at the Sanitarium this week-end 
have been requested to defer their 
visits for about one week, to permit 
the Sanitarium to complete its work 
of organizing Itself In new quarters. 
Colonel Kirk said this morning 
that extensive construction work 
necessary to adapt the former San-
Itarium buildings to army needs 
would be started In the immediate 
future a.t a cost of approximately 
$250,000. 
A general order to the hospital 
personnel was issued by Colonel 
Kirk as follows: 
"The buildings, utilities and other 
facilities purchased by the war de-
partment from tho Battle Creek 
Sanitarium, Battle Creek, Mich., arEi 
this date taken over as government 
property. 
"The general hospital to be es-
tablished here will be known as the 
Percy Jones general hospital, per 
letter, war department, dated June 
24, 1942, in honor of the late COl-
onel Percy L, Jones, medical corpa,

to the treatment of the sick and 
wounded so}diers of this nation." 
Plans for the hospital call for a 
staff of at least 700 persons, in 
i 
eluding 72 commissioned office 
120 nurses and 500 non-commls· 
s!oned officers, soldiers and civilian 
employes. Patients will be assigned 
here by various army stationa in 
the country . 
MajoritY of Others Employed 
By Institution Will Work 
For Government. 
HAS MANY RESERVATIONS 
Approldmately half of the aome 
<1&0 persons who were working for 
.the Sanitarium 10 weeks ago when 
it sold its main buildings are ex-
pected to be employed by the in-
stitution in its new quarters. Most 
of the others will enter the employ 
of the Percy L. Jones general hos-
pital which 1s being established in 
the former Sanitarium buildings. 
Although the Sanitarium at pres-
ent has only about 70 guests and 
patients -
not enough to warrant 
the employing of 200 or more work-
ers -
Sanitarium officials predict 
that the number of guests and pa-
tients will increase grea.tly in the 
weeka to come. Many reservations 
have been received from persons 
living in various parts of the coun-
try. 
For the time being, the Sanita-
rium needs many employes to help 
it m organizing itself in its new 
quarters. Many improvements will 
be made to the quarters in the 
near future. Construction of a cor-
ridor 'building extending between 
John Harvey Kellogg hall and the 
Battle Creek college library build-
ing already is under way. 
San Medical Staff 
The Sanitarium medical staff now 
includes Dr. Wilfrid Haughey, who 
1s a part-time staff member; Dr. 
E. G. Norman and Dr. J. R. Jeffrey,

of construction work necessary to 
adapt the former Sanitarium build-
ings to army needs. The hospital 
will not be ready to receive patients 
before C>ctober 1. 
Many Cha~ Planned 
Many changes wlll be made by the 
army to the old Sanitarium building. 
The lecture room on the sixth floor 
of the building wlll become a surg-
ery suite, with six operating rooms, 
two of them double operating rooms, 
being provided. Also on the sixth 
:floor will be a post-operative room 
with beds for 21 patients, a urology 
laboratory, a large central supply 
room, and a dental clinic with 12 1 ______ _ 
dental chairs. 
Rooms 
on 
the second,

fourth and fifth floors of the old 
building will be turned into wards 
for use by soldiers. There will be 
140 beds, two diet kitchens, a utility 
room and lavatories on each of the 
:four floors. 
Rooms on the second and third 
floors of the new building will be

aeventh, eighth and possibly the 
ninth floors o! the new building will 
be tu!'lled over to the hospital nurses 
as living quarters, and the 12th 
and 13th floors will be turned over 
· to officers who are members of the 
hospital staff as living quarters.

Dr. John Harvey Kellogg returned 
thls morning from Washington and 
said that "all of tl1e major obstacles 
which confronted the Sanitarium in 
plans to reestablisl1 itself in other 
quarters have been removed." 
"We will be moved into other 
quarters by August 1 and everyone 
will be happy," he said "The gov-
ernment ha& promised that it wUl 
cooper:tte in many ways with the 
institution to help it in carrying on 
its important work." 
Dr. Kellogg said his trip to Wash-
Ington llad been in a large measure 
responsible for the recent action of 
the Wm: Produntion Boud in 
ing an A-1-J priority rating to the 
Sanitarium. 
"I found that the board had de-
cided against giving t11e Sanitarium 
the priorities on building materials 
needccl. to repair and remodel build-
ings to be occupied by the Sanitari-
um in the future, but after I ad-
vised the board members of the im-
)Ortant work done by the institu-
tion, the priorities 
were 
granted 
quickly." 
Dr. Kellogg said he was aided in 
obtaining the priorities by Rep. Paul 
W. Shafer of Battle Creek; W. A. 
Julian, treasurer of 
the 
United 
States, who has been a frequent 
visitor to .the Sanitarium, and J. 
M. Tucker, chief priority specialist

Plans of the Sanitarimn are to 
move into Kellogg hall, the Battle 
Creek college library building and 
the old Sanitarium hospital building, 
aU of whlcll now are being repair-
ed, and which will be given more

eturn with him Frj,day morning. 
Dr. Kellogg, 1n telephone conver-
sations with associates here today, 
did not state whether he thought 
the priority request of the Sani-
tarium would be granted. 
The building materials are needed 
to repair and alter Kellogg hall, 
Three 
Carloads 
of 
Among Goods Reaching 
Here Wednesday. 
Three carloads of hospital equip-
ment, including 600 surgical and 
1m.edical beds, have arrived in Batt~e 
creek for U.se by the Percy L. Jones 
general hospital which will be es-
l
tablished here soon ·bY the army. 
Other shipments of supplies and 
equipment for the hospital are ex-
pected to ardve· soon. 
Starting 
August 1, the. army will convert the 
main Sanitarium buildings into the 
army hospital. 
Maj. Ingolf B. Hauge, who will be 
chief of dental services at the hos-
pital, was notified Thursday that he 
nad been promoted to the r~n,k of 
lieutenant-colonel. He came to Bat-
tle Creek ftom. the Walter Reed gen-
eral hospital in Washington -.vhere 
he served as assistant to the hos-
pital's chief of dental services. 
Colonel Hauge was born in 1903 in 
Minnesota, anp. was graduated from 
the University of Minnesota dental 
school in 1928. He was commissioned 
a first lieutenant in the dental corps 
of the army June 11, 1928. 
Capt. Crowell w. Scarbrough, who 
will be quartermaster officer for 
the new hospital. arrived in Battle 
Creek Wednesday to establish resi-
·dence. 
Three Battle Creek hotels, the 
Post Tavern, Hart hotel and The 
Inn, will be made available to the 
army for hospital purposes "in event 
. of an emergency," Lieut.-Col. Clyde 
D. Oatman, Fo~t. Custer post sur-
geon, announced today following a 
survey of the hotel facilities here. 
Colonel Oatman said that repre-
sentatives of the surgeon's office 
have inspected the hotels and con-
ferred with their management to 
determine their availability in the 
event the army requires then· facil-
ities. The hotels, if need be, would 
be leased by the army and used in 
conjunction wtth the Custer post 
hospital, or possibly with the Percy 
L. Jones general hospital, which is 
being established in the Sanitarium 
buildings. 
The survey of hotel facilities here 
was made at the request · of 6th 
Corps Area headquarters in Chi-
cago, Colonel Oatman said. He said 
that the possibility of the army 
taking over . the local hotels is re-
mote,, however. 
The Custer post 
hospital has approximately 1,000 
beds, more than adequate to care -
for the normal post complement of . 
rom 20,000 to 25,000 men, Colonel 1 
Oatman said. 
In addition, Battle 
Creek's army hospital facilities will 
be greatly . increased. by the Percy 
Jon~s ho·spital. 
Normally 
many 
patients from Fort Custer are sent 1 
to army hospitals in other sections 
:of the country for special treat-
ment, thus lessening the load upon 
post facilities.

Mr. Metheny and a fellow paint-

A rope on the scaffold 
broke and both men grabbed ropes 
to keep from falling. 
Mr. Viala 
caught himself, but Mr. Metheny 
was not so fortunate. 
He fell to 
within 10 or 15 feet of the ground 
before he reached the· end of the 
[rope, The force of the fall caused 
him to lose his hold on the rope 
and he fell the rest of the way to 
the ground, landing on his back. 
He was taken in a. wheelchair 
from Kellogg hall to the main 
building of the Sanitarium, and 
later was taken in an ambulance 
to Leila hospital. 
His physician 
this morning said his condition was 
"satisfactory."

A goldfish 
pool with 
a. 
small 
fountain and a pillar of rocks was 
constructed among the plants. The 
pool is surrounded by rocks of vari-
ed colors. Most of the plants were 
pur£hased by the Sanitarium from 
greenhouses in various parts of the 
United States. 
Among the first to be planted by 
Mr. Vandervoort wa.s the rubber 
tree, a ficus elastica, which was 
only 18 inches tall. It grew rapid-
ly, and in two or three years, Sani-
tarium employes cut off many of 
its top limbs to prevent them from 
breaking through the glass roof of 
the room. The same procedure has 
been necessary each year since. 
Needs Enclosure 
The tree, nearly a foot in diame-
ter, appears to be unusually sturdy, 
but Mr. Vandervoort says that it 
soon woUld die if not transpla.nt()d 
to another enclosed place similar 
to the room whlch houses the palm 
garden. 
No such place is availa.ble, and It 
appears that it will be necessary to 
uproot the tree and pe1mit it to 
die.

poses

For many years, 
banana 
trees 
were included in the palm garden 
and a. considerable yield of the fruit 
wa.s obtained from them but about 
20 years ago they were moved from 
the garden. 
Plants which have been in the 
garden since it was started are four

matters having to do with news-

of coPY for his own "talks" which 
10 many newspapers use. 
In the 
modest way which continues a part 
of him in spite of his contacU> with 
fame and fortune, George was a. lit-
flustered over the experiences of 
the week,

which ha.s marked his conduct ever 
after.

They recently gave George a.n 
honorary degree of Doctor, back at 
Siwash college where the Observer 
used also, by Spells, to expose him-
self to educational influences, and 
o! cow·se part of the ceremony was 
for George to make an address to 
tlbe crowd gathered from all over the 
prairie state to pack to capacity 
the JllUnicipal auditorium which the 
cltilens built as a tribute to the 
soldiers of another war. And George, 
as he explained the matter in his 
visit to the Review shop, said it 
was hard to keep his mind on the 
proceedings of which the speech and 
the doctor's degree were a part, and 
get his mind off the scene wherein 
young George Adam~. not yet au-
thor, publisher or syndicator, went 
rushing town-wide at evening to 
distribute the Kansas City news-
paper to his clients and so earn the 
price of next week's ticket at the

ASSOQIATION 
Among various problems which 
confront the Sanitarium as it pre-
pares to vacate its present build-
ings 1s one of finding a way to pro-
vide heat and hot water for the new 
quarters it will occupy. 
John Harvey Kellogg hall, the 
Battle Creek college library building 
and the old Sanitarium hospital-
the three principal buildings to be 
occupied by the Sanitarium after 
August 1-are connected with the 
main heating plant which was one 
of the properties sold by the Sani-
tarium to the war departme11t. 
For many 
years, 
the heating 
plant has been the sole sow·ce of 
heat and hot water for the three 
buildings. and for several other 
buildings not purcha,sed bY the gov-
ernment, including the former San-
itarium creamery building which 
now is owned by the Ashley-Fen·elJ 
Dairy Co., the former Sanitarium 
Union building now owned by the 
Recreation Center, the old Battle 
Creek college building, and about 
six houses and cottages located 
near the buildings sold to the war 
A large number of civilian em-
ployes, including persons now em-
ployed by the Sanitarium, will go 
on the payroll of the Percy L. 
Jones general hospital as of August 
1, and many others will be hired

Hundreds of applications for civ-
1lian jobs in the hospital have been 
received by the army officers who 
are making plans for converting the 
main Sanitarium buildings into the 
hospital. A large share of the ap-
plicants are Sanitarium employes. 
Competition between the Sani-
tarium and the army for the serv-
ices of the present Sanitarium em-
ployes is lacking, however.

Then he entered the University of 
Michigan, in the fall of 1895-and 
~pent part of his first summer vaca-
tion thereafter as the guest of Gov-
ernor Atgeld, to whom he gave a 
number of treatments. 
In his senloi· year Mortensen was 
cne of four students selected as staff 
assistants by Dr. George Dock, pro-
fessor of medicine, who was one of 
the outstanding teachers of lntet·nal 
medicine in the United States. Not 
only was this a great honor, but lt 
proved of much value to learn at 
first hand from this distinguished 
man at the bedside of patients. 
In those days it was not generally 
the cu,torn for graduates in medi· 
cine to 'erve as internes in hospitals 
a"' it Is today, and when he received 
his sheepskin (June 22, 1899) Dr. 
Mortensen went to Decatur, Til., to 
enter the office of Dr. Brown, a 
physician with a large practice. Be-
sides carrying on laboratory work, 
he made contacts with patients both 
ln the office and In the.lr home,, 
His work there was interrupted by 
an invitation to take a position In a 
pnitarium In D<>nmark. 
This invitation came from Dr. 
which was so ne;w~el;!"~o~r~r-~~~~:~~

enormous importance in the study 
of heart conditions. 
Gradually the original field of 
Dr. Mortensen, internal medicine, 
was shelved in favor of specializing 
111 heart ailments. During the First 
World war w11en 
Dr. Mortensen 
served In the medical corps at Cam~ 
Custer, his knowledge of the hu-
man heart proved of real value to 
his country. 
After the war, In the winter of 
1923-24, Dr. Mortensen and hts col-
league, Dr. Walter F. Martin, spent 
seveval months abroad. After some 
time ln London, they vtsited Vienna 
and OJ:. Mortensen made further 
study of diseases of the heart. He 
attended the clinic of the celebrated 
Professor Wenckebach and was in-
strumental in Inducing him to spend 
a week at the Battle Creek Sani-

A special medical meeting was held 
in his hoHor, attended by a hun-

Captain Krukowski said that the

"We expect about 200 enlisted men

cent house-to-house survey conduct-
ed here by local volunteers at the 
suggestion of A. B. Flagg of Cleve-
land, 0., field avisor for the defense 
coordinator's office. 
In the new survey approximately 
1,300 dwelling units, one in each 
of as ma.ny blocks in the city, are to 
be checked again. John A. Murton 
will supervise the work again. 
Mr. Murton said that without 
doubt the war department's purchase 
of the Sanitarium's main buildings 
and the impending transfer here of 
a large number of civilian employes 
of the army hospital, together with 
their famil1es, makes it necessary 
for the Office of Emergency Man-

institution and tt is understood that 
the board's immediate concern is the 
removal of the large amount of 
equipment from the main butldlng 
to make way for the army's oc-
cupancy.' 
The board of trustees iR reportl'd 
to have had various discussions as to 
v·hether the Annex building, n1ore 
r<'centlv called John Harvey 
.

building, should be u.sed as

whiie the old hospital building is 
owned bv the Sanitarium, 
Two plans have been consu;tered 
by the board in connection w1th a 
suggestion that Kellogg hall be used 
as the new home for the Sanitarium. 
t-He that the buldlng !Je l'Cmodeled 
and unproved at a COI!t or about 
$200,000, and the other tha~ a. more 
extensive remodE'ling and Improve-
ment project, including U1.e construc-
tion of an aUdition. be carried on at 
a cost or about $350,000. 
Priorities Sought 
For such improvements as may be 
required for the building, the Sani-
tarhnn must obtain priorities on 
vnnou~ buildllJg materials, includ-
ing pipe, electric wiring, and toilet 
fixtures. 
Applications for such 
priorities WP.t'e taken to the War 
Priorities Board in Washington last 
week by Frank A. Harrington. a To-
ledo, 0., attorney employed by the 
uoard. He reported 
t the Monday 
meeting that prioritie-s board offi-
cials had lieemed to view the ap-
plication-; willt favor, and said that 
he expected action on the appl!ca-
tlons wouid be taken w!Lhin a few 
days.

Out of School for 12 Years, 
He Graduates Here Thursday 
Among the 457 Central high 
school seniors who will be graduated 
in commencement exercises Thurs-
day night will be a 32-year-old na-
tive of Switzerland, who until he 
enrolled here last fall, had not at-
tended school for 12 years. 
He Is Ernest Steiner of 27 North 
Cass, an employe of the Sanitarii.Uil 
since 1929 when he came to the 
United States from France. 
His 
father, the late Elder Johann Stei-
ner, a Seventh-day Adventist mis-
sionary, died three years ago, and 
his mother, three •brothers and a • 
sister now live in Switzerland. 
After attending school for nine 
years in Switzerland and one year 
in France, it was not easy fOl.' M1·. 
Stetner to attend an Amel'ican 
school with classmates who were 
much younger. But his record at 
Central has been outstandin~. He 
adju,sted himself with apparent ease 
to the school routine. Although he 
says that at first he felt like a 
"sore thumb," he soon became the 
friend of many other students and 
felt entirely at home in the class-
rooms. 
School Is Different 
"Central is an entirely different 
school than I attended for a total 
of 10 years iil Bern and Interlaken, 
Switzel'land, and a school I attend-
ed for one year in France," he said. 
"Those schools were much more 
strict with their students than Cen-
tral, although I think that the disci-
pline at Central is excellent. 
"But the European schools had a 
set program, one which required 
each student to study certain sub-
jects without giving any choice of 
study. At Centra.l, the student stu-
dies the subjects which will prepare 
him !or a. vocation for which he is 
sUited." 
Mr. Steiner came to Battle Creek 
at the invitation of Mrs. Charles E. 
Stewart, wife of Dr. Charles E. 
Stewart, president of the Sanitarium 
board of trustees. He met Mrs. 
Stewart while she was tn France 
with her 
son, Dr. 
Charles 
E. 
Stewart, Jr., who was studying there. 
Mr. Steiner long had wished to 
.come to the United States but did 
not have a promise of employment 
1n this country-Qne of the require-
ments for obtaining a visa. Mrs. 
ERNEST STEINER 
stewart made arrangements for him 
to get a job at the Sanitarium. 
Before coming to the United 
States, Mr. · Steiner had lived in 
Africa and Germany in addition to 
France and his native Switzerland. 
He speaks German, French and 
English, and can read Italian. 
Will Enter College 
His principal reason for attending 
Central was to obtain enough credits 
for a 
high school diploma and 
thereby qualify himself to attend a 
college. He plans to enroll in some 
college this fall and to study lan-
guages with a. view to becoming 
either a teacher of languages or an 
interpreter. 
Mr. Steiner first was employed by 
the Sanitarium on Its farm; then 
the Sanitarium engineering depart-
ment as a fireman, and now is sta-
tionary engineeto. 
In comparing the Battle Creek 
public schools with the public 
schools of Switzerland, he said that 
the boys and girls of Switzerland 
complete their primary and secon-
dary education in nine years. Tile 
school year is longer in Switzerland, 
however, having a total of 47 weeks, 
instead of the customary 38 or 40 
weeks In Battle Creek, and . thel 
Switzerland students attend classes 
for five and one-half days each 
week instead of five, be said. 
Mr. Steiner's wife, the former 
Miss Edith Payberg, was graduated 
from Central in 1934.

San Board Meeting 
Scheduled Tuesday 
Postponed from Today to Al-
low More Time to Inspect 
Proposed Buildings. 
A special meeting of the Sanitari-
um board of trustees, scheduled for 
2 p. m. today, was postponed this 
morning tmtll 8 p. m. Tuesday to 
allow additional time for the in-
spection of buildings proposed for 
use by the Sanitl
ium after tt va-
cates its present quarters August 1. 
Sanitarium officials said tha.t a 
committee appointed by the board 
to inspect the buildings would not 
complete its work until Tuesday. 
Tile buildings being inspected in-
clude John Harvey Kellogg hall, the 
Battle Creek college library bu!ld-
1 ing, and the old Sanitarium hos-
pital building on Aldrich street. 
Tile work of adapting the Sani-
tarium main buildings for use by 
the army as a 1,000-bed general hos-
pital will be started next week un-
der the direction of Col. Norman T. 
Kirk, who will be commander of 
the hospital. 
Colonel Kirk and a large num-
ber of other army medical officers 
will arrive at the Sanitarium Tues-
day to establish permanent resi-
dence. The entire 13th or top fioor 
of the Sanitarium will be turned 
over to them upon their ·arrival. 
Two or Three Ta.bles-Tile Red 
Oross work rooms in their new loca-
tion at 119 West Michigan avenue 
could use two or three long tables. 
Mrs. Harold Beach, chairman of 
these actiVities, reports that the Red 
Cross has been very fortunate since 
changing to the new location from 
the Sanitarium basement. In re-
sponse to the newspaper appeal four 
desks were loaned by Ralph Sulli-
van anq one by Mrs. Fred Griswold 
and the Kellogg Co. loaned 
two 
dozen chairs. 
There is, however, 
atlll the need for work ta;bles. Will 
somebody send in the good word? 
A telephone to the Red Cross chap-
ter offices, number 2-3622, or a 
delivery to the war work rooms, 
1111 West .Michiga.n, will greatly help.

of land adjoining in Calhoun 
and Kalamazoo counties for

. ARTILLERY · RANGE HINTED 
Acquisition of 1,970 acres 
of land adjoining in Calhoun 
and Kalamazoo counties for 
further expansion of Fort 
Custer and consideration of 
still further land purchases 
for possible use as an artil-
lery range were revealed 
Saturday in connection with 
the visit here of the sub-com-
mittee of the house of repre-
sentatives military affairs 
committee. 
The committee announced that 
acquisition was started during the 
last few days of 1,970 acres of land 
t._nd Rep. Paul W. Shafer of Battle 
-Creek, a member of the committee 
headed by Rep. R. Ewing Thomason 
of Texas, announced further land 
purchases were being considered. He 
Baid, ''It !s my information that the 
land will be used for an artillery 
range." 
Such facilities have been 
a dire need at Michigan's largest 
military training establishment. 
Rep. Shafer said one of the pur-
poses of the committee's visit here 
was to examine property surround-
ing J'ort Custer. 
Rano:e Is Needed 
The lack of an artillery range at 
the fort has been an obstacle in the 
training of a division here. Artillery 
units have been forced to do their 
range firing at Camp McCoy, Wis., 
a two-day trip from Custer for an 
artillery unit and its weapons. Re-
cently it wa~ announced that the 
artilleiy range at Camp Grayling 
in northern Michigan might be used 
this summer for firing by Custer 
units.

Early Decision Must Be Made, 
On Fufure Course of the 
Sanitarium. 
With e. need for last action 1n the 1 
development of plans !or continu· 
ance of the Sanitarium after August I 
1 becoming more evident, a call was 1 
issued today for a special meeting 
of the Sanitarium board of trustees 
at 2 p. m. Monday. 
Although the army is scheduled to 
take over the present main buildings 
of the Sanitarium about August 1 
for the establishment of a 1,000·bed 
general hospital, the Sanitarium 
board has not yet mapped the fu-
ture of the Sanitarium. 
1 
Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, chair-
man of the board, has stated on sev-
eral occasions that the Sanitarium 
would be moved to other quarters. 
Persons close to him have said that 
they believe Kellogg hall and the 
Battle Creek college library building J 
will be used. 
Applications 
for 
priorities 
on 
building materials needed for re· 
modeling and improving of the two 
buildings and other bull~ings which 
are available for use by the Sani-
tarium have been sent to the War 
Priorities Board in Washington. 
With a view to speeding action on 
the applications, Frank A. Harring-
ton, a member of the Toledo, O .• law 
firm of Welles, Kelsey, Cobourn and 
Harrin~ton, appeared before tne 
priorities board Thursday as a rep-
resentative of the Sanitarium board. 
Mr. Harrington will attend the 
board meeting Monday to report on 
his dealings with the priorities 
board. 
During negotiations which 
led to the sale of the Sanitarium 
buildings to the war department for 
$2,251,100, Dr. Kellogg was assurred 
that the war department would as-
sist in efforts of the Sanitarium to 
obtain priorities. 
. 
A huge task which confronts the 
Sanitarium is that of moving large 
quanities of furnishings and equip-
ment before August 1 from the 
buildings purchased by the govern-
ment. Many workers and a large 
amount of m<;>ving equipment will be 
needed for the job. 
Sanitarium officials said today 
that the old Sanitarium hospital 
building on Aldrich street might be 
selected for use by the Sanitarium 
after August 1. The building, now 
used as an apartment house, is fire-
proof and would accommodate ap-
proximately 75 patients.

Assessment Appeals Group to 
Find City's :Valuations Ma-
terially Unchanged. 
The city board of review, which 
meets for three days starting to-
morrow to receive appeals 
from 
1942 assessments, will lind the total 
assessed valuation of the city mate-
rially untbanged, although about 
$800,000 in valuation of certain Sani-
1 tarium properties being taken over 
by the federal government will not 
1 be on the roll~. 
Low assessments on various ~ani-
1 tarium properties not involved m 
the sale to he federal government 
have been revised upwards so that 
the net loss in taxable property is 
not expected to be great. 
Increased assessments on a num-
ber of iltlproved properties will help 
offset the city's potential loss of 
revenue, City Assessor William R. 
Kennedy said Satur ay, 
'lt.ed1ieN ..... ... 
The 1941 assessed valuation of city 
properties, after $400,000 had been 
cut from the assessments of 20 
major property owners, was $68,-
041,550. In 194() 
the total was 
$66,378,600. 
Appeals from 1942 assessments 
may be made to the board tomorrow, 
starting at 9 a. m. in the city as~ 
sessor's office, second floor of city 
hall. 
The board of review Will start 
scanning the assessment rolls then 
and continue on regular hours, 9 
a.m. to noon and 1 to 4 p.m. daily, 
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. 
If appeals from assessments are nu-
merous, hearings may be extended 
to Thursday. 
On the board with Mr. Kennedy 
are Mrs. C. Edward Spencer, George

Holds High Hopes for Sani-
tarium in New Quarters 
After Army Takes Over. 
BOARD CHANGES lN JULY 
The high hopes which Dr. Jobn 
Harvey Kellogg holds for the future 
of the Sanitarium in the carrying 
out of his plans to continue in ·rull 
operation in new quarters after the 
government takes over the Sani-
tarium's present main butldings this 
summer for use as an army hospital 
were set forth in a statement issued 
by the doctor Saturday afternoon. 
Dr. Kellogg called attention to the 
fact that the Sanitarium's resources 
and facilities will be considerable 
after the change and sketched his 
plans concerning certam new health 
methods. 
Change Comes August 1 
The doctor's statement, awaited 
aince the transaction with the gov-
ernment was closed Friday, follows: 
May Frolic 
Planned for 
U.S.O. Club 
A MAY frolic, with dancing as 
entertainment and vari-col-
ored popcorn balls for refreshment 
will be given for the soldiers at th~ 
U. S. 0. club at 170 West Michigan 
avenue Wednesday night by the 
JUmor hostess group of the Sani-· 
tarlum. 
The auditorium will be decorated 
with spring flowers twined about 
garden trellises, and tall candles of 
pastel colo1·s will light the small 
tables about the floor. The band of 
the 94th Engineers will play for 
dancing, and LeRoy Sparks wlll be 
master of ceremonies. . 
' 
· 
Senior hostesses in charge of the 
gr?up which Is sponsoring the af-
fair are Mrs. Arnold Brown and 
Miss Ruth Kelsey. Miss Jane Berles 
is general chairman, and serving on 
the 
committee 
are 
Miss 
Ruth 
Mescher, Miss Ida. Ganson, Miss 
Jean Brmmer, Miss Betty Sprister, 
Miss Eleanm· Culver, Miss Verne

the sanitarium has retained prac-
tically a.ll of its elaborate equipment 1-======~--------­

ment, as well as its furniture, and 
rooming accommodations for several 
hundred guests, which, with redeco-
rating and furnishing will make 
guests as comtortable as in the old

Corps members, and 150 vet-
erans of the First W<>rld war. 
building. 
"The transfer of patients will not 
occur until the first of August, and 
will be made In such a. way as not 
to Impede or interfere In any way 
with the comfort or convenience of 
patients or the efficiency of treat-
ment. 
"An important feature of the 
change will be the introduction of 
the newly perfected regimen therapy 
which has been proven to be highly 
successful in dealing with chronic 
diseases and especially In combating 
bigh blood pressure, premature sen-
escence, and other affections which 
often do not yield to methods 1n 
common use in private practice and 
hospitals. 
The yearly total of 7,500 patleJOts 
is distributed about 45 percent for 
medical care and 55 percent for 
surgical care. 
Walter Reed ho~pital is utilized 
for general cases as contrasted to 
the army's Fitzsimmons hospital in 
Denver, specializing in lung cases~ 
St. Elizabeth hospital in Washing-
ton, D. C., specializing in mental 
care, and the ArmY and Navy hos-
pital in Bot Springs, Ark., specializ-
ing in venereal diseases. 
To Seek Quick Results 
"Special attention will be given to 
intensive methods of treatment and 
training which yield quick results. 
"In general, the scope of activitY s 
of the institution as a health and 
medical center and the world head-
quarters of the race betterment 
movement wtll be extended'. 
The 
education worl!:: will be revived and 
activity in promoting the principles 
of biologic living increased. 
"A sponsorng committee composed t 
or eminent and well known scientists 
will aid the management in its ef-
forts to make the institution a great 
university of health, where earnest 
health seekers may find not onlY 
every known means of relief which 
science and experience have vali-
dated but information and training 
to insure against future suffering. 
"With enlarged scope and ample 
tacil!ties, the management, will con7 
tinue their eleemosynary, or· not-
for-profit, work with the confident 
expectation of greater usefulness in 
the future than in the past." 
To pay Off Bonds .July 1 
While 
the 
government 
takes 
possession on August 1· of the prop-
erty it acquired through a friendly 
condemnation action taken in fed-
eral. court a.t Detroit, July 1 also will 
be an epochal date in the Sani-
tarium's historY. On that date, with 
the $2,251,100 it receives from the 
government, the Sanitarium wlll 
pay off all of its bonded indebted-
nest!, amounting to $1,279,895. 
This will mark the end of the 
financial difficulties which beset the 
1n6titutlon with the depression and 
put it into receivership and reor-
ganization under section 77B of the 
bankruptcy 1aws. It also will mark 
the end of bondholder representa-
tion on the Sanitarium's board of 
trustees. 
Dr. Kellogg long ha.s 
looked forward to this as affording 
an opportunity to return to control. 
He has remained chairman of the 
board of trustees throughout, but 
there have been marked differences 
of opinion on policy within the 
board. 
· 
The bondholders' trustees who will 
leave the board when the mortgage 
is lifted are B. J. Kenney, Dr. J. 
Roscoe Miller, Dr. c. B. Irwin and 
Paul Binzel. Their four vacancies 
will be filled by the six remaining 
trustees, Dr. Charles E. Stewart, 
president of the board; George E. 
Judd, secretary; Alfred H. Steinel, 
treasurer, Dr. EmU Leffler and Fred 
E. FUller. 
The next meeting of the member-
ahtp of the Battle Creek Sanitarium 
& Benevolent association, which op-
erates the sanitarium, will be held 
in March, 1943, and a board of trus-
tees will be elected then.

for the first time since the late

that the $150,000 assessed valuation

be increased. 
Subject To Assessment 
1\.ny recently vacant Sanftarium 
quarters not taken over by the fed-

Mayor 
Floyd H. Barry said. He pointed out 
that many 
so-called

properties had not been assessed 
since the city, schools and county 
signed an out-of-court agreement 
wi~h the Sanitarium, ending a law-

BOARD CHANGES IN JULY 
The high hopes which 'Dr. John 
Harvey Kellogg holds tor the future 
of the Sanitarium in the carrying 
out of his plans to continue in full 
operation in new quarters after .the 
government takes over the sani-
tarium's present main buildings this · 
summer for use as an army hospital 
were set forth in a statement issued 
by the doctor Saturday afternoon. 
Dr. Kellogg called attention to the 
fact that the Sanitarium's resources 
and facilities will be considerable 
•fter the change and sketched his 
plans concerning certain new health 
methods.

"In releasing to the government 
two of t 
six large buildings in , 
which its work b;l.s been conducted, 
the Sanitarium has retained prac-
ticallY all of its elaborate equipment 
of apparatus and facilities for treat-
ment, as well as its furniture, and 
rooming accommodations for several 
hundred guests, which, with redeco-
rating and furnishing will make 
guests as comfortable as in the old 
building. 
"The transfer of patients will not 
occur until the first of August, and 
will be made in such & way as ·not 
to impede or interfere in any way 
with the comfort or convenrence of 
patients or the efficiency of treat-
ment. 
"An important feature of the 
change will be the introduction of 
the newly perfected regimen therapy 
which has been proven to be highly 
.successful in dealing with chronic 
diseases and especially in combating 
high blood pressure, premature sen-
escence, and other affections which 
often do not yield to methocl.5 in 
common use in private practice and 
hospitals.

'rhe general hospital to be 
established in buildings pur-
chased last week from the 
Sanitarium by the govern-
ment will be a permanent 
institution having at first 
1,000 beds and perhaps later 
1,500 or more beds for sick 
or injured army personnel. 
This was revealed today by Col. 
Norman T. Kirk, chief o! surgical 
services at Walter Reed hospital in 
Washington, D. C., who has been 
appointed commander of the local 
hospital and 
who 
arrived 
here 
Tuesday for his first !nspect!o:\ of 
the bulldings. 
He will a.ssist in 
making plans for various necessary 
alterations. 
The allocation board noted that 
total requests for millage from the 
three units were 2.94 mills in excess 1----------------...,.,, 
"The number of wor~ers to be 
needed .for the. care of 1,000 patients 
probahly 'lllill exceed 700, including 
approxlmately 60 commissioned of-
fleers, 120 nurses, and some 500 
non-commissioned officers, soldiers 
and 
civilian 
employes," 
Colonel 
Kirk said. 
"Present employes of 
the Sanitarium will be given first 
preference In the hlr1ng of civilian 
employes.", 
of the 15-mill maximum, and then 
adjourned to meet June 2 to allocate 
tentative tax rates for the three 
units. Clinton F. Whetstone, chair-
man of the allocation board, said 
that about three-fourths of the 140 
school district budgets have been 
filed and about half of the township 
budgets are in order for examination 
a~ the June meetings. 
The proposed city of Battle Creek 
rate would raise $557,940.71 on an 
anticipated valuation of $68,041,550, 
as against 
$490.044.51 
raised on 
that valuation under a rate of $6.50 
]Jer Sl.OOO last year and $439,134.95 
raised In 1940-41 on a valuation or 
$!16.851,450 at an allocated rate of 
$6.60. 
SeN Lower Valuation 
-;City ASS1lSSOr William R. Kennedy 
,..id he i!oubted lf the new assessed 
valuation will equal that established 
last June, pointing out that the city 
is losing. $800,000 o~ real estate val-
uation on which the Battle Creek 
Sanitarium was assessed and bas 
no 
speclflc 
assurances 
on 
the 
assessable value of the proposed new 
sanitarium. 
The loss was caused 
by the war department's purchase 
of the S&nl.tarlum bulldlngs for a 
l,000, as 
a rate of 
T~e $5.40 
agpeal to 
a ra. te of $5.20 set 
allocation board. 
H. Earl Kanaga, treasurer of the 
cschool board, said that the school 
budget for ·1942-43 calls for ex-
penditures of $1.029.000, which is 
eight and one-half percent greater 
than the 1941-42 outlay. 
Mr. Kanaga said increased ex-
penses are necessary because of in-
creased costs of operation and eight 
pncent wage boost for teachers and 
maintenance employes. 
The city budget submitted show-
ed that expenses for 1942-43 are 
likely to be $767,000, as compared to 
$830.658.38 for the year ending this 
June 31, and $748,197.31 for the year 
ended June 31, 1941. 
City Deficit Near 
The budget as set up shows that 
in the year now ending, the city 
will have spent $42,779.92 more than 
income. 
The anticipated expenses. 
on the basi< of $674,058.80 spent up 
to May 1. will be $830.658.38 this 
years. as compared to $767,000 an-
ticipated expenses fo rthe coming 
yca1· and $748,197.31 expenses in the 
;year that ended June 31, 1941. 
The prospective deficit for this 
year is accounted for by extensive 
city obligations dUring the year. 
One item of expense anticipated is 
$35,000 for fire equipment. One al-
l'eady accounted for Is $19.976.46 for 
airport land purchases. In the year 
ending June 31. 1941, airport land 
purchases tot'l.led $72,602.31. 
Have Loans Due 
The city schools, with $114,000 
in short term loans to be repaid, 
estimate they will have expenses 
totaling $1,029,801 in 1942-43, and 
will have to raise $442.801 of that 
amount from property taxes, esti-
mating their prospective income 
from other sources at $473,000. In 
the year now ending their Income 
:from all sources is estimated to be 
$946,236, as against $927,520 in the 
year ended June 31, 1941. 
Tax ·income In that year was 
$323,543; this year It was $357,534, 
on a $5.40 rate. 
Next year the 
schools are asking $442,801. 
Estimated expenses of $1,029,801 
for the coming year are $81,000 
greater than this year, of wlltch 
$62,000 
represents 
increased sal-
aries of teachers and maintenance 
employes. 
The county, which operates on a 
calendar year basis, can show a. 
surplus of $90,000 In tl1e genet·al 
fund at the start of tile current 
year, but In other operating fwtds, 
such as welfare, hospital and de-
partmental funds, surpluses bring-
ing the total cash reserves to close 
to $200,000 are to be found. 
They 
are in the form of money allocated 
la&t year, but not reverted to the 
general fund as unexpended bal-
ances. 
Whatever allocations are made, 
the county must be gtven a statu-
tory minimum of three mllls, leav-
Ing 12 mills to be split between the 
city and the city schools. 
Asked if the hospital would serve 
soldiers and army officers !rom 
forts and camps in any particular 
section of the country or It patients 
would be brought here from all parts 
or the nation and world, Colonel 
Kirk said he believed that a de!-
:1nite area. would be selected, •t first 
at least, for the llosp!tal to draw 
patients from. 
Explains System 
"Certain camp.s and station hos-
pitals wlll be gtven a; l!l'et!i!''Ot l!l!ffil 
in the general hospital," he said, 
"In other words, each will be per-
mitted to send a certain nUJnber of 
patients here, These patients, as a 
rule, will be th06e 
smaller hospitals patients suffer-
ing from epidemic diseases." -
Colonel Kirk said that if the time 
arrives when army hospitals on the 
Atlantic and Pacific coasts are un-
able. to accommodate all army cas-
ualttes from the war zones, the local 
hospital would be called upon to 
care for them. 
"At first, however, I expect that 
our hospital wlll have no war cas-
ualties as patients," he said. 
The army will take possession of 
the Sanitarium buildings on or about 
August 1, but Colonel Kirk predict-
ed that the hospital would not be 
opened until about a month later. 
To Expand Facilities 
"We wJll have to make many 
changes in the Sanitarium build-
ings," he said. uPrivate rooms now 
being used by the Sanitarium will 
be done away with, and wards, with 
beds for from 30 to 35 persons will 
replace them. 
A ·new and l~rger 
operating suite and a new and lar-
gde~. dental clinic wlll be construct-
e . 
# 
Colonel Kirk said that operatrug 
suite and dental clinic probably 
would be located on the sixth floor 
of the old Sanltariwn building 
H 
said that at least six dental officer: 
would be assigned to the hospital. 
One of the greater problems con-
~rontmg the hospital will be find-
mg housing facilities for Its work-
ers. 
Colonel Kirk expressed the 
hope that Battle Creek residents 
would make every effort to provide 
residences for the employes. 
Plan of Colonel Kirk Is to house 
the 120 nurses in the main Sanita-
rium building, and to have East 
hall~ th~ former nurses home of the 
Samtanum, repaired extensively for 
use by a portion of the soldiers 
will work in the hospital. 
May Build More 
Saying that sufficient space would 
not be available 1n the bulldings 
purchased by the. govenlment to ac-
commodate all of the soldier work-
ers, . Colonel Kirk 
indicated that 
constderable construction might be 
needec;t to provide needed housing 
faclllttes. 
"No attempt will be made to pro-
vide housing acconun.odations for 
ofUj;ers aru~ the.U;..f&milles .in 
the buildings uurchased " he-
"If the hosp!tSJ increa~es lis ca-
pacity beyond 1,000 beds, say to 1 _ 
500 beds, the 120 nurses in the 
Sanitariwn and the soldiers in East 
hall would be required to vacate 
and an extensive construction proj-
tect would be necessary to provide 
hem with accommodations " 
The new hospital as yet does not 
have a name, but Colonel Kirk in-
dicated that tt would be given one 
soon. 
In discussing plans for the con-
struction of wards in the bulldin s 
the colonel said that wards ha~~ 
ten found by army hospitals to 
much superior to private rooms 
,. 
Companionship Needed 
· 
d 
~tor lone thing," he said, "soldiers 
on 
ike private rooms 
The 
J"ould rather be with other' soldier~ 
n 
wards 
w.here 
companionship 
to speed their 1·ecovery. Then, 
are more economical."

no

The city budget submitted show-
ed that expenses for 1942-43 are 
likely to be $767,000, as compared to 
$830,6.58.38 for the year ending this 
June 31, and $748,197.31 for the year 
ended June 31, 1941. 
City Deficit Near 
The budget as set up shows that 
in the year now ending, the city 
will have spent $42,779.92 more than 
income. 
The anticipated expenses. 
on the basi< of $674,058.80 spent up 
to May 1. will be $830.658.38 this 
,years. as compared to $767.000 an-
ticipated expenses fo rthe coming 
year and $748,197.31 expenses in the 
year that ended June 31, 1941. 
The prospective deficit for this 
year Is accounted for by extensive 
city obligations during the year. 
One item of expense anticipated is 
$35.000 for fire equipment. One al-
ready accounted for is $19,976.46 for 
airport land purchases. In the year

purchases tot".led $72,602.31. 
Have Loans Due 
The city schools. with $114,000 
in short term loans to be repaid, 
estimate they will have expenses 
totaling $1,029,801 in 1942-43, and 
will have to raise $442,801 of that 
amount from property taxes, esti-
mating their prospective income 
from other sources at $473,000. In 
the year now ending their Income 
from all sources is estimated to be 
$946,236, as against $927,520 in the 
year ended June 31, 1941. 
Tax -income in that year was 
$323,543; thls year It was $357,534, 
on a $5.40 rate. 
Next year the 
schools are asking $442,801. 
Estimated expenses of $1,029,801 
for the coming year are $81,000 
greater than this year. of winch 
$62,000 
represents 
increased sal-
aries of teachers and maintenance 
employes. 
The county, which operates on a 
calendar year basis. can show a 
surplus of $90,000 in t.he gene1·al 
fund at the start of the current 
year. but in other operating funds, 
such as welfare. hospital and de-
partmental funds, surpluses bring-
ing the total cash reserves to close 
to $200,000 are to be found. 
They 
are in the form of money allocated 
last year, but not reverted to the 
general fund as unexpended bal-
ances. 
Asked it the hospital would serve 
I!Old.iers and army officers from 
:forw and camps in any particular 
section of the country or if patienw 
would be brought here from all parts 
of the nation and world Colonel 
Kirk said he believed th~t a def-

at least, for the hl>8pital to draw

them with accommodations." 
city and the city :scho_o_ls:..:. __ _ 
The new hospital as yet does not 
have a name, but Colonel Kirk in-
dicated that it would be given one 
soon. 
In discussing plans for the con-
struction of wards in the buildings 
the colonel said that. wards hav~ 
been found by army hospitals to 
lbe much superior to private rooms. 
Companionship Needed 
"For one thing," he said, "soldiers 
don't like private 1·ooms. 
They 
would rather be with other soldiers 
in wards 
where 
companionship 
help.s to speed their recovery. Then, 
too, wards are more economical." 
Assisting Colonel Kirk in in-
specting .the buildings are Maj. J. 
G. Jones of the supplies division of 
the army surgeon-general's office 
and Maj. Lee C. Gammil of th~ 
hospital construction division of the 
office. 
The three expected to re-
main at the Sanitarium until ltQ.-
nlght. 
Later, all three will return 
to Battle Creek to direct the adapt-
ing of the buildings to army re-
quirements. 
Colonel Kirk said some ot the 
construction work might be started 
before the Sanitarium moves to 
other quarters about August 
1. 
"Any work which will not interfere 
with Sanitarium activities will be 
started as soon as possible " he 
15aid. 
' 
Some Will Train 
Soldiers assigned to the hospital 
would be drafted and enlisted men 
!n the army medical corps, many of 
whom will have had training In 
performing various hospital serv-
ices. Those who have not had· such 
training will be given it at the 
hospital. 
Sanitarium employes who enter 
the employ of the hospital will be 
required to first qualify under civil 
service, but it is expected that ar-
l'angements will be made for them 
to quickly become civil service em-
ployes. 
"We expect to hire a large num-
ber of the Sanitarium employe;;,'' 
Colonel Kirk said. 
:In the 
erans of the First World war and 
CCC enrollees as well as for soldiers, 
Colonel Kirk said that he did not 
"ielieve veterans or CCC enrollees 
·I! ould be treated here. 
"The need for general hospital 
facilities for soldiers Is too great,'' 
he said. 
"We need one general 
hospital bed for every 100 soldiers 
in training." 
Stress Permanency 
The colonel emphasized that the 
hospital would be a permanent in-
stitution, saying that the need for 
such a hospital seems certain to be 
great after the end of the war. 
He said that other general hos-
pitals being constructed in various 
parts of the country for the army 
a.re to be of a semi-permanent na-
ture. Hospitals which he predicted 
would continue their operations long 
after the war are the Battle Creek 
hospital, the Walter Reed hospital, 
the Army-Navy hospital at Hot 
Springs, Ark., the Baumont hospital 
at El Paso. Tex., and the Fitzsim-
mons hospital at Denver, Colo. 
Colonal Kirk entered the army in 
1912 as a medical officer. He was 
chief of surgical services 
man general hospital in San Fran-
cisco, Cal., for four and one-half 
years before joining the staff of 
Walter Reed hospital a year ago.

result of the recent news about the 
government's purchase of Sanitar-

going on uninterruptedly and 
out confusion or incovenience 
patrons. Dr. Kellogg said: 
"Plenty of equipment, both as to 
furniture and treatment mecl;lanism 
is, by arrangements made with the 
government, availa'ble to be moved 
across the street where comfortable 
and convenient quarters will be in 
readiness. Under plans now in pro-
cess this will be done systematically 
so that out-guests will be at home 
in the new location and with all 
services proceeding uninterruptedly, 
and the1·e is ample room available 
to make everybody comfortable and 
to facilitate our operations. 
'Some of the details of the plans 
will develop as we go along," Dr. 
Kellogg said, "but the major assur-
ance may be taken now that the 
Sanitarium, as 
an 
institute 
of 
health, and as a place to acquire the 
habit of health, will proceed with-
out interruption. I am determined 
that, with the facilities at hand, we 
shall even 
go forward 
to better 
service 
and 
greater 
accomplish-
ment. than we have known in the 
past." 
He and Maj, J. G. Jones of the 
supplies division of the arm 
sur·· 
geon-general's office, and Maj. Lee 
C. Gammil of the hospital construc-
tion division of the office, today 
were completing an inspection of 
the buildings preparatory to the 
making or plans for alterations. They 
. will retum to Washington tonight. 
Early in June, Colonel Kirk will es-
tablish residence here to dh·ect the 
tran:"forming of the Sanitarium

The construction work will be in 
charge of the Chioago office of the 
corps of engineers. 
Changes to be made in the build-
ings will include the turning of pri-
vate rooms into wards, construction

The Ambassadors walloped Battle 
Creek Rurals. 19-0 and Battle Creek 
Sanitarium defeated N!llbisco, 7-3 in 
Class B-1 baseball contests last 
night. 
The games were the only ones 
played in the recreation schedule.

league, and Bell Telephone forfeited 
to W'llcox-Rich and the Y. M. C. A. 
:forfeited to the First Methodist 
church in two scheduled Class A-3 
league softball games. 
The B. c. Rurals made only one 
hit off Bill Hepler as the Ambassa-
dors pounded out 19 fo1· as many 
runs. Beam led the attack with a 
triple, double and three singles in 
five times at bat. 
The Ambassadors took a one-run 
lead in the first inning, but the 
game didn't turn into the slaughter 
until the fifth when the Ambassa-
dors added· five markers. Eight more 
runs came across the plate in the 
final inning. 
Until the Sanitarium scored tour 
times in the last inning, its game 
with Nabisco was anybody's battle. 
Both teams scored a run in the first, 
the San picked up two more in the 
second and Nabisco knotted the 
count at 3-all in the third. 
Mickey McDonald held the losers 
to five hits and fanned eight while 
his teammates were collecting nine 
oft two Nabisco hurlers.

The Sanitarium 
The relation of the Battle Creek 
sanitarium to Battle Creek's history 
and development, and the in~rest 
which the community has in the In-
stitution because of that relation, 
have often been discussed. 
The topic ha.S come prominently 
into attention again through the de-
velopments leading up to the cur-
rent armouncement that the federal 
government has bOught the main 
Sanita'rlum building and consider-
able of the real estate. Proceedmgs 
looldng toward this end have been 
known to be In progress for some 
time. The announcement of the com-
pletion of the proceedings carries 
two assurances, the development o! 
which, the community will follow 
with the utmost interest. · 
. One is that the government pro-
poses to develop and main taln here 
a large medical center comparable 
to the celebrated Walter Reed hos-
~tal in washington and the other 
is that the Sanitarium itself, freed 
of the debt complications which 
came as one o! the consequences of 
the nation-wide depression, and with 
working capital to give to future 
operations a facility which recelltlY 
past operations have not had, ~ill 
carry on in the commodious build· 
ings which remain available to tpe 
sanitarium on that extensive front• 
age on the west side of Washington 
avenue, and aiso in contiguous ter-
ritory. 
Battle creek will watch the de-
velopment of these plans with keen 
interest and with, It is believed, a 
proper appreclatlbn of the privilege 
which she enjoys, and apparent!~ is 
now due to enlarge, as a medical 
e.nd health center and with a cor-
responding willingness to cooperate 
to the extent o! her abiilty.

AID BY GOVERNMENT 
Sanitarium Will Reestablish Itself in John 
Harvey Kellogg Hall and Library Build-
ing; Change Expected August 1. 
A transaction by which the United States gov-
ernm6nt takes over the main buildings of the Battle 
Creek Sanitarium was completed this afternoon-
Condemnation proceedings, begun by the United 
States district attorney for eastern Michigan in he-
half of the war department, were instituted in fed-
eral court at Detroit, consummating what amounted 
to a sale of the properties by the Sanitarium to the 
government at a price mutually agreeable. 
The government, which will take possession 
Au.gust 1 or thereabouts, is expected to use the prop-
erties for a general hospital similar to the Walter 
Reed hospital in Washington, D. C. 
The govern-
ment's intentions remain to he disclosed, however. 
. 
The. world-famous Sanitarium will continue opera• 
hons Uninterruptedly, for the time being in its present 
r quarters and afterward in new quarters. 
This was em-
' phasized most emphatically by Dr. John Harvey Kellogg 
the chairman of the board of trustees, Dr-Charles E: 
Stewart, the president, and all others concerned. 
The price paid, $2,251,100, enables the 
to pay off all bonded indebtedness, amounting to $1,2 
895, and other debts, and to start anew on the other 
of North Washington avenue, reestablishing itself in 
John Harvey Kellogg hall, the Battle Creek college

ing; Change Expected August 1. 
I 
A transaction by which the United States gov-
ernment takes over the main buildings of the Battle 
Creek Sanitarium was completed this afternoon. 
Condemnation proceedings, begun by the United 
States district attorney for eastern Michigan in be-
half of the war department, were instituted in fed-
eral court at Detroit, consummating what amounted 
to a sale of the properties by the Sanitarium to the 
government at a price mutually agreeable.

lions uninterruptedly, for the time being in its present 
quarters and afterward in new quarters. This was em-
phasized most emphatically by Dr. John Harvey Kellogg 
the chairman of the board of trustees, Dr. Charles E 
Stewart, the president, and all others concerned. 
The price paid, $2,251,100, enables the 
to p&y off all bonded indebtedness1 amounting to $1,2 
895, and other debts, and to start anew on the other 
of North Washington avenue, reestablishing itself in

other buildings and cotta

ington, Champion, Brook, 
Gra t and Hill streets. 
SEEN SUBSTANTIAL GAIN 
. 
Dr. KellQgg is 111oking forward enthusiastical~y to a. new Sanitarii_Jm 
which, with assets of around a million dollars In cash and ext.ens~ve 
real estate holdings, will be able to continue its operations without In-
terruption and build even greater prestige. Its new quarters necessarily 
will be somewhat smaller than those at present. vet will be ample to 
afford satisfactory accommodations for the anticipated patronage of 
the near future. 
f 
Among the trustees, the transa~~ion was -viewed as a. substanti_al 
gain for the Sanitarium as an insti~ution .and .for Battle Cre~k 1n 
general. It was said that the "SanitariUm will .ga1n an opportunity to 
rehabilitate itself on a sound finanuial .basis free of deht ~d the tre-
overhead of the bu.ildings 
just disposed of. and that the com-
munity, while retaining the Sani-
tarium as a going in.'ltitution, will 
gain a government hospital of large 
proportions. 
Dr. Kello~rg is preparing a state-
ment detailing his and the board's 
plans for the future. He has indi-
cated that these will be on an am-
bitious scale. 
Wants Old Employes 
It was said that the approximate-
ly 400 employes of the Sanitarium 
will be given the choice of remain-
ing with the Sanitarium in its new 
quarters or of entering the govern-
ment's hospital employ. 
The gov-
ernment, it was said, is anxious to 
obtain as many of these experienced 
persons as do not remain with the 
Sanitarium, and stands ready to ac-
cept them into federal service witl\-
out civil service examination. 
j 
The sale of the Sanitarium build-' 
• ings has been a much discussed 
matter in the community in recent I 
weeks. 
It 
necessarily 
involved 
lengthy negotiations. 
As the deal 
developed, the Sanitarium manage-
ment bad to begin making plans to 
move, although until the last papers 
were signed with the government to-
day no official announcement could 
be made. 
, 
Final steps took place in Battle 
Creek yesterday and in Detl"Oit to-
dax, 
The trustees of the Battle 
rcreek Sanitarium & Benevolent as-
' sClCiatlon, which operates the Sani-
tarium, met in Dr. Kellogg's office 
yesterday and went through the 
legal formalities from their end. All 
but one of the 10 trustees were 
present. 
They were Dr. Kellogg, 
Dr. Stewart, George E. Judd, secre-
Jtary, Dr. Emil Leffler, Dr. J. Roscoe 
Miller, Fred E. Fuller; B. J. Kenne~ 
'
Dr. c. B. YrWtn and Paul 1	. Binzel, 
the last four representing bondhold-
1 ers. 
Alfred H. Steinel, treasurer, 
was absent. 
Concluding the matter not later 
than today was of importance be-
cause thiS was the last day prior 
to the next interest date, July 1, 
on which the required 45-day notice 
of calling In the bonds could be 
/
given. 
Had the notice not been 
given today, another six months' 
inte·est, amounting to about $30,00&, 
would have become due. 
Bonds Are Listed 
. 
Sanitarium bonds now outstanding 
include series A, approximately $1,-
130,000 worth, bearing 4% percent 
Interest and due Jan. 1, 1952; series 
B, approXimately $100,000 
worth 
bearing 4% percent and due serial: 
ly from Jan. 1, 1943, to Jan. 1, 1947, 
and income debentures, approxi-
mately $42,000 worth, bearing 5 per-
cent and due Jan. 1, 1959. 
The A bonds w111 be paid off at par 
and the B bonds at 102, a premium 
required by the indenture. 
More particularly described the 
real 
the 
' 
John Harvey Kellogg and W. K. 
Kellogg. Featuring a "water cure," 
the institution was unsuccessful fi-
nancially until 1876, when Dr. Kel-
logg became it., medical director and 
named it the Battle Creek Sani-
tarium. 
A disastrous fire in 1902 failed to 
stop the progress of the Sanitarium. 
Construction of a new building, now 
known as the-o1d main building, 
was started under the leadership 
of Dr. Kellogg to replace another 
main building and hospital destroy-
ed in the fire. 
The Sanitarium became famous 
tor its promotion of health through 
scienti!ic diet; for its pioneering 
wotk In the field of physical ther-
apy, and for many outstanding dis-
coveries in the field of medicine 
made by Dr. Kellogg 
and 
other 
members of the Sanitarium staff. 
Expanded In 19%7 
In 1927, the Sanitarium bonded 
itself for $3,000,000 adding to an 
existing $1,000,000 debt, to build the 
15-story Sanitarium tower and a 
four-story 
wing. 
The 
depression 
forced the institution into receiver-
ship in 1933, and in 1938, the Sani-
tarium wa.s reorganized under Sec-
7'lB of the federal bankruptcy 
~t. 
A need for skilled helpel'l! 1n field 
pioneered by Dr. Kellogg ted to the 
eatabllshment by the Sanitarium of 
several educational Institutions, in-
cluding the 
School of Nursing, 
founded in 1883; the American Med-
.lcal Missionary college, founded in 
:1195 and merged in 1910 with the 
of DUnots medical de-
tbe Scbool 
of 
Home 
BC<:>n<>milcs, started in 1906, and 
Xellogg School of Phy.stcal Educa-
tion, started in 1909. 
· 
In 1923, the schools of nursing, 
home economics and physical edu-
cation were afftllated in the form-
ing ot Battle Creek college, which 
ceased operation in 1938. 
Funds for the construction of ·the 
college library building were raised 
mostly by publtc subscription. Dr. 
Kellogg provided the balance of the 
money needed, for the project.

yesterday in

Sanitarium mezzanine parlor. 
It ' 
was her eighth and final lecture 
here this year ln the University of ' 
M.~ higan extension series on "The 
New Books and Plays." 
"Books and Total Victory'' was 
her theme. 
"All intelligefit persons realize 
that total victory can never

Miss Harmel said, "essential as these

the New York College of Music, 
shB 8allg in one church as a soloist 
and played the harp in another. 
~r three seasons she sang on the 
boats of the Hudson River Day Line, 
finding .it an enjoyable, as well as 
lucrative, experience. 'Ibe Y. M. 
C. A. enlisted her to play at noon 
hour shop meetings and she played 
at over 400 of them, missing but two 
appointments and those because of 
wrong directions. '!ben che began 
appearing in recital in New York 
City homes, for the entertainment 
of guests at social gatherings. An 
offer of a scholarship that would 
enable her to study for Grand Opera 
came to her, but was regretfully 
declined. 
When she returned to the west 
coa:;t, it was to Los Angeles, in-
stead of Seattle, and there she sang 
and played the harp for radio <sta-
tion KHJ), also making appearances 
tn some o! the finest homes of Los 
Angeles and Hollywood. It was at 
this time that she met Dr. Thomp-
son, who was just finishing his 
colll·se at the Lorna Linda medical 
school. '!bey were married at he 
home in Ferndale, Wash., 
and for 12 years lived in 
Cal. Her doctor-husbapd 
in post-graduate 
.,~~~~~~~went 
if 
him. A short trip 
to Norway preceded Lhe work m 
Vienna. In June, 1938, Dr. Thomp-
son joi.necf' the staff of the Battle 
Creek Sanitarium, but for the last 
two years be has been in private 
practice. 
Ruth Linrud bad beard of Battle 
Creek long before she came here to 
live. The pastor of a church where 
she was soloist used to tell his con-
gregation about the health lessons 
he learned in his annual visits to 
the Sanitarium, and later she came 
here several months before her baby 
girl was born, as she wanted to be 
under the care of Dr. A. R. Dickspn, 
an old friend. 
The daughter,. Thora, was later 
joined by a son, Earl. They are get-
ting along in years now, both tieing 
students at the Battle Creek aca-
demy. They play the harp, too, and 
have macie several appearances with 
their talented mother. Neither was 
forced nc,r "induced" to take up 
music; they began their studies of 
their own accord, and they play ali 
I 
Loan drive. 
.Ruth Linrud 1S greatly interested 
in the harp, having made a pro-
longed study of its history. 
Often 
she slips a discourse on the subject 
into her programs-and finds that 
people like to hear about it. 
She 
possesses lour harps-two of them 
exact reproductions of the Irish 
harp that was in use in the ninth 
century. 
This 1s only about three 
feet high and seems qUite primitive 
in comparison with the modern 
type. 
Sometimes she plays this 
harp at her concerts, wearing 'an au-
thentic Irish costume and singing 
Irish songs. 
Similarly, when giv-
ing ao Scandinavian program she 
wears a Swedish or Norwegian or 
Danish garb. 
Her most treasUI·ed harp is of the 
largest commercial type made. It 
weighs about 90 pounds and bas 
some 2,000 parts. 
There are 47 
strings, colored green, red and 15lue 
for easi~r identification, and it has 
seven pedals, but no loud nor soft 
one. 
The i11strument requires fre-
quent tuning. 
~r centuries the 
harp had only one key, but in 1811 
the Erard family in France brought 
out a harp with a double action, 
the fruit of three generations of ef-
fort. 
The supreme harp of today is 
made by Lyon & Healy in Chicago 
and a good one cannot be bought 
for less than $1,000. Prices for those 
especially decorated run as high as 
$10,000-
Even the European harp-
ists concede that the American in-
strun~nt surpasses any made else· 
where in the world toda-y.

Lectures 
Wartime 
on 
Books 
The place of books-and the vast 
influence they wield-in the war-
time scheme of things was the sub-
ject of a lecture given by Olive 
Deane Hormel 
yesterday in 
the • 
Sanitarium mezzanine parlor. 
It 
was her eighth and final lecture 
here this year in the University of 
lv"~Ghigan extension series on "The 
New Books and Plays." 
"Books and Total Victory" was 
her theme. 
"All 
Intelligent persons 
reallze 
that total victory can never 
achieved by· tanks and guns alone, 
Miss Hormel said, "essential as these 
weapons are to uur success. Total 
victory will be the result of lntelli· ' 
gent 
tow.l
d the end in view by as many 
)l.s possible of our individUal citi-
zenry. 
Books are the unrivalled 
means to this end. 
"Xt has been said that thinking 
is bafd, but prejudice is pleasure,' " 
she continued,· "which, of course, is 
why dictators flourish today. The 
enemy is utilizing every means that 
modem psychology can offer to sup-
prells and pervert the individual 
capacity to think and to discrim-
inate, and the result is fanatical 
devotion to false ends on the part 
of great masses of people. 
'Ibis 
mass hypnotiSin can only be com-
batted effectively by enlightened 
devotion to true ends. Thus it be-
comes our duty now as never bef'ore 
to inform ourselves accurately and 
to think deeply on facts set befo1·e 
us. Intelligent and informed think-
ing tran~lated into action will win 
the war and the peace, for not)ling 
can stand against it, and nothing 
short ot this is total victory." 
M!SB Harmel presented a com-
prehensive list of impo:t"tant books-
of a. 
never before avail· 
war problem 
from the home front to the world 
front. 
As particularly helpful, she 
"America Organizes to Win 
the war," a. handbook by 20 ex-
perts on the Alnerican war effort 
in which everything from issues to 
insignia is competently and com-
pactly covered; 
"Women for De· 
!ense," 
by Margaret Culkin Ban-
ning, a "must" for the intelligent 
woman who would do her part to· 
day; and "Education for Death" by 
Gregor Ziemer, as essential to ade-
quate understanding of the basic 
character of the enemy and of the 
consequent 
basic 
measures with 
wh)Ch we must meet him. 
"America in the New Pacific," by 
George E. Taylor, she cited as an 
in!onna.tive a.nd challenging pre-
sentation of our opportunities in 
the Pacific; "Dawn of Victory," bY 
Louise Fischer, is the most cogent 
and stimulating discussion of the 
European front; and "The Crisis of 
our Age," oby Pit!rim Sorokin, is the 
most profound and heartening an-
alysis of causes and remedies for 
world conditions today. 
"The Moon Is Down," by John 
Steinbeck, and "Flight to Arras," 
by Antoine de Sa.tnt Exupery, Miss 
Hormel characterized as "luminous 
reading" 
because they are great 
works of art, 
and 
"Only One 
Storm," by Granv!lle Hicks, 
she 
recommended as an unusually pro-
vocative novel of ideas.

The services have their headquarters in a large room 
in the Sanitalium, but the work seems to have many ten-
tacles which reach out to take within their grasp the

Hundreds of Women 
In Special Services 
the women of the volunteer special 
services of the Red Cross intend to 
prove that we can do cheerfully, ef-
ficiently and whole-heartedly what 
is exPected of us. 
"We should, at the outset, be sure 
we know just what we mean by the 
word volunteer. In this great crisis 
it is now the duty of every American 
man and woman to serve the coun-
try in the way in which he or she 
can most usefully serve it. No one 
Is free to choose not to serve his 
country. The Volunteer Is a person 
who hBl! been allowed to chOOBe how, 
not whether, he or she wlll serve 
t.he country. 
"But once a Volunteer haa chosen, 
she has a duty to do the work she 
has volunteered to do. 
As long as 
she is able to work, she can no long-
er feel free to quit unless she is 
called to some other duty. Quite cer-
tainly she can no longer feel that 
she is free to decide from day to 
day whether it suits her to work 
r. little or work hard. 
"We who are volunteers in the 
:fl,ed Cross ha.ve freely ch011en to 
help to do certain very neceBSary 
tasks which the nation expects the 
American Red Cross to do. Each of 
u.s who has volunteered has made 
}\er choice. Now all of us are in duty 
bound to carry on the work and to 
886 It through. 
We are volunteers 
who have enlisted for the duration 
of the emergency."

the institution about four years ago,

none until four-fifths of the San's 
debt is paid. Since the directing 
board of the association must remain

GOVERNOR CANDIDA=~ I 
Sen. James J. Davis of Pennsyl-
vania who is well-known in Battle 
Creek because of his frequent visits 
to the Sanitarium, has announced 
his candidacy for the governorship 
of Pennsylvania. 
Senator Davis, a Republican who 
served as secretary of labor under 
Presidents Harding, Coolidge and 
Hoover before being elected to the 
senate in 1930, declared his candi-
dacy despite indications the "Old 
Guard" G. 0. P. organization of 
Pennsylvania w!ll oppose him. 
He is accustomed to battles, hav-
ing had many in congress and in 
politics, but his greatest 'fight was 
one which he made 
successfully 
against death in 1935 at the Sani-

man Music Is Still Love , 
Noted Singing Star Says Here 
Lotte 
Lehmann, 
the 
operatic 
soprano, who is making a brief visit 
at the Sanitarium, said Tuesday 
afternoon that she was happy be-
cause "Americans are keeping alive 
their love tor the music of German 
composers despite the war." 
Mme. Lehmann, Who is a native of 
Perleberg, Germany, a small town 
on the North Sea, is becoming a 
United States citizen, but must wait 
another year for her final papers. 
"When war first was declared, I 
was afraid that Americans no longer 
would wish to hear German-com-
posed music,, so I planned my con-
cert programs to include only Ameri-
can music. 
I was delighted to re-
ceive many requests for the works of 
the German composers;• she said. 
"Americans know that music, cul-
ture and art have no connection 
with Hitler and his Nazi gangsters. 
What does Hitler have to do with 
fine music? 
The great German 
music will live for centuries, but 
Hitler soon will be destroyed." 
Mme. Lehmann came to the Sani-
tarium for a rest be~ween two con-
certs she gave last week in Boston, 
Mass., and a concert she will give 
April

Her 
brother, Fritz Lehmaim, a teacher 
of music interpretation. has been 
at the Sanitarium for about three 
weeks. 
She said her brother heard the 
presentation of Brahms' "Requiem" 
Sunday afternoon in the First Con-
gregational church and was greatly 
impressed by the singing o! Mrs. 
Ellen Buckley and Lawrence Mayer. 
Mme. Lehmann as a girl went 
to Vienna, Austria, where she re-
ceived her musical education and 
lived for many years. 
She holds 
an honorary membership in the 
State Opera of Vienna. 
Asked if she wishes to return to

Noted Singing Star Says .Here 
Lotte 
Lehmann, 
the 
operatic 
soprano, who is making a brief visit 
at the Sanitarium, said TUesday 
afternoon that she was happy be-
cause "Americans are keeping alive 
their love for the music of German 
composers despite the war." 
Mme. Lehmann, who is a native of 
Perleperg, Germany, a small town 
on the North Sea, is becoming a 
United States citizen, but must wait 
another year for her final papers. 
"When war first was declared, I 
was afraid that Americans no longer 
would wish to hear German-com-
posed music,. so I planned my co~­
cert programs to include only Amen-
can music. I was delighted to re-
ceive many requests for the works of 
the German composers," she saJ.d. 
"Americans know that music, cul-
ture and art have no cmmection 
with Hitler and his Nazi gangsters. 
What does Hitler have to do with 
fine music? 
The great German 
music will live for centuries, but 
Hitler -soon will be destroyed." 
Mme. Lehmann came to the Sani-
tarium for a rest between two con-
certs she gave last week in Boston, 
Mass., and a. concert she will give

Her 
brother, Fritz Lehmann, a. teacher 
of music interpretation. has been 
at the Sanitarium for about three 
weeks.

She said her brother heard the 
presentation of Brahms' "Requiem" 
Sunday afternoon i~ the First Con-
gregational church and was greatly 
impressed by the singing of Mrs. 
Ellen Buckley and Lawrence Mayer. 
Mme. Lehmann as a girl went 
to Vienna. Austria, where she re-
ceived her musical education and 
lived for many years. 
She holds 
an honorary membership in the 
State Opera of Vienna.

Asked if she wishes to retm·n to

Kiwanians· Hear 
Of An American 
'Bill Smith,' an Imaginary and 
Yet Real Person, Described 
By Alonzo Baker. 
Battle Creek Kiwanians 
were 
Thursday of "Bill Smith, the 
average American, an imaginary 
yet real person who is a combina-
tion of all liberty-loving Americans 
and who still will be doing business 
when the world has forgotten where 
HLtler and Hirohita were buried." 
Alonzo L. Baker, field secretary 
o111 the Race Betterment Foundation 
and a member of the Kiwanis club, 
described the idealism, psychology, 
and realism of the average American 
citizen, saying, "Do;n't count him 
out yet." 
"This Bill Smith has a rem'<!.rk-
able memory," Mr. Baker said .. "He 
remembers a saga of 300 and more 1 
years in which the human spirit 
has surged forward to a goal of 
freedom. His plood represents every 
race in the world. He's a great lover 
of peace and he's slow to get mad. 
This war had to be shoved at him. 
His qualities give promise of great 
things to come and of a liberated 
world in the future. 
Likes to Pass :Uuck 
"Sometimes he likes to pass the 
buck. He has passed the •buck to the 1 
officials he has sent to Lansing 
and Washington, forgetting for the 
time being that aggressive citizen-
ship on the part of everyone is nec-
essary for the successful operation 
of a democracy. 
"But now, after Pearl Harbor, 
he's making himself hearC: more and 
more. He's getting" himself het up. 
He's got a new vision. He has the 
realization that he will have to sup-
ply) the bullets and guns for nearly 
a:l of the Allied forces, and an army 
of 10,000,000 men, and that in addi-
tion to winning the war, he will 
have to win the peace, too. 
. 
"He knows that he will have to 
have a seat at the peace table 
for all time to come, that there will 
to be an international army, 
navy and air force to nip future 
Hitlers in the bud. 
Libeled Through Years

Charles T. Batten, who resigned at 
the first of the year. 
Battle Creek and Michigan' aqua-
tic followers have come to expect 
championship things from 
local 
swimmers and divers each year and 
1940 proved no exception to such 
annual anticipation. 
The city's aquatic stars experienc-

tha 
Blair 
achieving 
principal 
laurelS. She was not called upon to 
defend her Michigan A. A. U. titles 
but attained 
several 
outstanding 
successes to add to her ever-grow-
ing list of achievements. 
Chief among these victories was 
Miss Blair's winning of the Nation-
al junior A. A. U. high bOard div-
ipg championship in Cincinnati, 0. 
on July 27, when she scored 123.8 
the second highest score on 
record for the event. Another great

nationally 
Barbara Cook in her home 
. Martha score~ 111.2 points, 
highest score up to that occas-
ion. The Purdue event was staged 
May 3. 
Miss Cook five weeks pre-
viously had taken second place in 
.both low and high board diving in 
the National senior A. A. U. meet at 
Miami, Fa. 
The sixth of the famous line of 
j Haughey brothers incidenta,lly is a 
1 two-time All-American by virtue

Another of Mowerson's charges, 
Chuck Day, made a splendid show-
ing last year by winning Five-A and 
state cliampionships and earning 
All-Ameri<:an selection in both the 
breaststroke and individual medley 
swims. 
There are a trio of Battle Creek 
aquatic aces at Unievrsity of Mich-

Haughey, 
Dolbson 
Burton, senior, and

sophomore, are counted on by Coach 
M,ann to assist the Wo~verines in re-
. taining t.heir national title, in spite 
of the fact Yale, which Michigan 
edged out of the crown last year, 
appears to be stronger than in 1940. 
Mann predicts a 2:12 time for Bur~ 
ton in the furlong swim, which 
should come close to winning the 
championship. Morse specializes in 
the 2i20-yard freestyle but ma.y also 
be used on Michigan's 100-yard

Dr. Gorrell said that he believes 
1941, 1942 and 1943 will be as good 
from a financial viewpoint for the 
SaJ?itarium as was 1937, a year in 
wh1ch the institution enjoyed ex-
cellent business. 
He based his prediction on the 
prospect that national income and 
government expenditures are now 
curving upward with generally im-
proved business conditions, factors 
which are always reflected in the 
Sanitarium's patronage.

General Cummins Concerned 
Over Inadequacy of Present 
Hospital Facilities. 
A careful two-day inspection of 
Fort Custer. covering every phase 
of new construction and existing 
facilities, was continued today by 
Maj-Gen. Joseph M. Cummins, com-
manding the 5th Division. 
General Cummins expects to com-
plete his Inspection this afternoon 
and return to Fort Benjamin Har-
rison, Ind., which will continue to 
serve as 5th Division headquarters 
until sometime in November when 
the division troops are transferred 
to Fort Custer.

"We probably will be able 
troops into many of the ba:rrs.cksl 
before the hospital Is completed," 
General Cummins said. "If this Is 
done it will be necessary to use some 
hospital facilities in Battle Creek, 
at least temporarily." 'nle general 
did not specify which Battle Creek 
hospitals would be used, although

General cummins said he doubted

artillery. "Even with the proposed 
expansion, there won't 
be 
room 
enough 
to 
fire 
the 
155

howitzers," the general said. "'nle 
howitzer regiments probably will -be 
sent periodically to Camp Grayling 
in Crawford county for practice." 
The general reviewed troops of 
the 2nd Infantry Monday afternoon 
and then inspected the tent city 
where the soldiers are staying tem-
porarily until barracks are 
com-
pleted. 
He was accompanied here 
by Capt. c. D. Eddleman. his aide.

Dr.

"Regardless of the outcome of

He emphasized. however, that the 
Sanitarium board of trustees had 
entered the negotiations with a de-
:lirf' to perpetuate the work of the 
Sanitarium and that no agreement 
would be reached which did not 
make the continuance of the insti-

do so without the bonded indebted-
nE'ss 
which 
has 
hampered 
our 
progress in recent years, and the 
~overnment also will benefit by ob-
taining excellent hospital facilitles."

The number of guests and patients 
at the Sanitarium since August' 1 
has been higher than during the

that an upward business trend is

the Sanitarium for three years.

are going forward about the same 
as u~al, although the purchasing 
of I!U~lies has been curtailed some-
what, only enough being purchased 
to meet needs of the immediate 
future. 
Interest of the government in the 
Sanlt_arium buildings is presumed to 
be based on their proximity to Fort 
Custer, and also o 
the fact that 
Ore army has no first-rate hospital 
in the middlewest. 
A military hospital would bring 
many new physicians. nurses and

Reason N 
Stated 
The reason for the government's 
decision was not given in the letter. 
Dr. Kellogg said the war depart-
ment had been gree.tly pleased 
with the Sanitarium buildings and 
equipment and expressed the opin-
ipn that the war department was 
unwilling to pay the price asked. 
Dr. Charles E. Stewart, director 
of the Sanitarium, remarked last 
week that one of the obstacles tb 
the transaction was the fact that 
conslder.able expense would be in-
volved in converting the Sanltar~ 
tum buildings into a military hos-
pital. 
Chief problem of the gov-
ernment would have been that of 
changing many of the private rooms 
of the buildings into large wards, he 
sal d. 
facilities twice this 
month, the 1ast inspection being 
made by Maj.-Gen. J1Uiles C. Ma-
gee, surgeon-general of the army. 
Dr Kellogg told the Enquirer and 
New~ two weeks ago tll.at if the 
buildings were sold to the govern-
ment sufficient funds would have 
to b~ made available for the con-
struction of a new building for use 
by the Sanitarium in connection 
With the-old Battle Creek'College 
buildings. 
Statement by Dr. Kellogg 
Dr. E:ellogg issued a statement to 
the Enquirer and News today n~­
emphasizing the fact that the Sani-
tarium as an institution, had not 
been offered for sale. His statement 
follows: 
"I am happy to say .that the Bat-
tle·Creek Sanitarium has never been 
offered for sale. During World war 
1 the United States government de-
sired to commandeer the main bt!~ld­
ing for military purposes. The lm-
possl:tlility of making proper pro-
vision for the care of 700 patie~ts 
led the government to change 1ts 
plans. The great' military prepara-
tions at near-by Fort Custer, and a 
visit from officials of the war de-
to make a survey of the 
color 
be sometime wanted for use by 
government. It was evidently a wise 
precaution to get definite informa-
tion.. 
"A proposal was accordingly made 
to the government to transfer the in-
stitution equity in the main hulld-
lng as an act of patriotism, the in-
stitution to 
receive 
a. 
sufficient 
amount to enable it to ·make ample 
prevision for its maximum number 
of patients, and to carry on the 
various lines of work named in Its 
charter ami also to provide a retir-
ing tun'd for Its older employes, and 
the transfer to be made in such a 
way as not to . Interfere with its 
work. 
"I have this morning received the 
following reply from tll.e ·surgeon-
general's office: 
" 'Pursuant to your .proposal, rep-
resentatives of the war department 
he.ve made a careful survey of the 
institution. As a. result of this sur-
vey 
however, the conclusion has 
bee~ reached that it is not a.ctvisahle 
for the department to aocept you.r 
offet. 
"'Yow· interest in national defense 
Is appreciated and it is regretted that 
a more favorable reply cannot be 
made in the pre·mises.' "

In soilless gardening crops from 
20 to 50 times as large as those made 
out-of-doors are reported. 
Toma-
toes reach a height of 25 feet and 
yield for a whole year to the extent 
of 217 tons per acre. A harves at 
the rate of 2,465 bushels of potatoes . 
: per acre has been achieved; the 
average yield 
on farms is 
116 
bushels. 
Cereals cannot be grown com-
mercially under this method as the 
expense for chemicals is too large. 
There are advantages in raising 
flowers by this method. In the home, 
vegetables and flowers can be pro-
duced but great care and skill are 
required: in fact, the industry is not 
yet standardized and some busi-
ness men who ventured into it 
failed. 
On the other hand, various estab-
lishments are making money gr~­
ing vegetables without soil and the 
number will be increased as more is 
learned about methods. Then the 
public health will benefit by the 
supply of vitaminized foods.

'Aerial Cowboy' Onee Amazed 
Horses; Now It's San Doctors 
Floyd Hanson, the 35-year-old 
"aerial cowboy" who was near death 
in the Sanitarium last August, is 
giving physicians nearly as much 
of a surprise as he gave some 2,000 
wild horses several years ago on the 
western deserts. 
Mr. Hanson, victim of a rare spi-
nal malady which paralyzed the 
lower part of his 'body, has recov-
ered to the point where he. is able 
to roam about the Sanitarium each 
day in a wheel chair. 
Physicians, who at first held out 
virtually no hope for his recovery, 
now believe he may recover entirely. 
They confess they are surprised. He 
gradual~y has gained weight and 
strength and most of his suffering 
has been eliminated. 
Mr. Hanson became a patient at 
the Sanitarium Aug . .3, 1939, coming 
here from San Francisco on the 
advice of a nerve specialist after 
two operations had f,ailed to check 
I 
the progress of the paralysis or af-
ford relief from intense pain. 
"If they can't help you at the 
i Sanitarium," 
the San Francisco 
blast. The horses were frightened 
into the corral where his helpers 
were waiting to complete the cap-
tun:>. 
He is. known as "America's 
first and only aerial cowboy." 
The cause of Mr. Hanson's malady 
has not been determined, ·but rela-
tives believe he may have injured j 
his spine while making power djves 
without a safety belt. 
An experienced commercial pilot, 
Mr. Hanson served for several years 
as an instructor at Dycer au·port, 
Los Angeles, where he trained more 
than 1,000 pilots. 
First symptoms of his illness ap-
peared in the fall of 1938 when he 
and his bride. the former Miss Mar-
jorie Kitselman, were honeymoon-
ing at Dr. John Harve 
K!:'llogg's 
health resort, Miami-Battle Creek, 
in Miami Springs, Fla.

t r-fc 
physican told Mr. Hanson, "prob-
ably no one can." 
At first he was placed under the 
care of Dr. Walter F. Martin, who 
said the rare malady had caused 
peraslegia, a paralysis of the lower 
limbs. Later, when Dr. Martin him-
self became ill, Dr. James W. Hubly 
became Mr. Hanson's physician. 
He complained of severe back-
aches, and later paralysis of his left 
leg developed. · When an operation . 
in Miami failed to bring relief or 
check the paralysis, he went to his 
"dude" ranch in ~evada. There his 
condition became worse and he was 
placed under the care o! the 
an 
Francisco specialist who performed 
a second operation. 
While en route to the Sanitarium 
by train, he and his wife observed 
their first 
wedding 
anniversary. 
Their trip from Chicago to Battle 
Creek was made by ambulance. I 
Pays Inheritance Taxes"-'-An in-
heritance tax of $6•4.32, in· the 
estat~ of Ethel :r. Kauffman, who 
died m th~ Sanitarium more than 
a year ago leaving a large amount 
of money and 
bonds 
concealed 
about her room, was pald today in 
the county treasurer's office. 
An 
inheritance tax of $10,951.22 in the 
estate of Effie Mulrine of Battle 
Creek, also was paid today. 
Mr. Hanson conceived Lhe idea of 
herding wild horses by airplane sev-
eral years ago while flying over des-
1 erts in the west. Efforts to corral 
' wild horses had proven both haz-
ardous and expensive, and ranchers 
were only too glad to pay him $5 a 
head for his work. 
He woUld maneuver the horses 
between the airplane and ,a, corral, 
and then m~ke a power dive with 
a siren on llis airplane sliieking full

Hepburn, 
stormy petrel of Ontario provincial 
politics and a steadily rising power 
in liberal party politics in all can-
ada, is still able to stick out his 
chin, although right now the chin 
is pillowed at the Sanitarium. The 
premier of ontario was taken there 
on his arrival yesterday afternoon by 
plane from his home town, St. 
Thomas. 
Premier Hepburn stuck out his 
chin twice in rapid succession yes-
terday. 
Once was on the point of having 
his picture takem. The other was on 
what's wrong with the war. 
As relayed through his personal 
physician, Dr. W. H. Avery of To-
ronto, the premier would stay in 
the cabin of J. P. Bickell's am-
phibian plane "all afternoon" rather 
than come out and risk having his 
picture taken "on his back." 
"He doesn't want his enemies to 
be overjoyed," said Jimmy Towne, 
Canadian transport pilot who was 
at the controls in the 105-mlnute 
trip from St. Thomas, by way of 
Detroit.

A grand ma.rch and sev•

in the park auditorium. 
In a. girls' softball game, a team 
coached by Forrest Cripps was the 
victor by a 9 to 8 score, and the 
Sanitarium civic recreation team 
defeated a team composed of other 
Sanitarium emp1oyes, 7 to. 5, in a. 
softball game for men. 
Howard Bayley was the winner in i 
a horseshoe pitching contest. Other • 
contests included tugs-of-war for 
both men and women and a treas• 
ure hunt. Various prizes, including 
candy 
and 
toUet 
articles, 
were 
awarded. 
Mr. Hepburn "called the turn" on 
the war last year, and said that 
Canada. was not prepared. 
Time 
has won for Mr. Hepburn many fol-
lowers who had believed this would 
be a four-year war. 
Followers of Mr. Hepburn say that 
since 
Chamberlain's 
government 
was discredited in England, that of 
the 
conservative Prime 
Minister 
MacKenzie King should be dis-
credited in Canada. Mr. Hepburn 
will not say that he is King's most 
potent rival. He points out that his 
mail is "as large or larger than the 
government's, and it all calls for 
leadership, !rankness and prepara-
tion for war on the basts of the les-,, 
sons learned in France." 
As for what's wrong with the war 
(which he says his opponents have 
not the faintest idea of how to 
fight) Premier Hepburn can point 
to his statements published last. 
fall: "The Allies are not ready. 
MacKenzie King is not ready." 
Made a Dynamic Start 
Mr. Hepburn's career as premier 
has been marked by 1·adical changes , 
in "the conventions" as they are ob-
served in Ontario politics. He swept 
the province off its teet in 1934 with 
a whirlwind campaign, covering 7,-
000 miles in a month, making a 
many as five speeches a day.

which made him, at 38, the younges

I 
Elder Leroy T. Nicola, 83, of 123 1 
Manchester, retired pastor of the 
Seventh-"day Adventist faith and an 
authol·ity on the 
history 
of 
the 
church, died in a local ho~pital at 
8:30 p. m. TUesday following a long 
illness. 
Retiring from the active work of 
the church in 1920, he had since in-~ 
terested himself deeply in the his-
~ 
torical backgrounds of the faith and 
its influence on the breakfAst food 
and health institutions of 
Battle 
Creek. 
Mr. ·Nicola was the son of Elder 
Henry Nicola, who died m Battle 
Creek in 1929 at the age <Jf 94, after 
a career associated with the early 
days of the church. The father was 
interested In the founding and de-
'velopment. of the Health Institute 
which later became the Samtarium, 
and served for more than 25 years 1 
on the Iowa conference committee., 
First White Child 
The son, Leroy T. 
Nicola 
was j 
born in Iowa. on Feb. 21, 1856, being 
the first white child born in Pilots-
burg, Ia. He came to Battle Creek 
18'l' 
ftd 
:rttle Creek 
college, graduating on June 15, 1880. 
His early days at the col!ege were 
vividly recalled In February, 1938, 
when his 32nd birthday anniversary 
was celebrated at Hauck's cafe by 
a group of friends and relatives. 
At that gathering one of hi,s old 
friends, Charles Giles, gavP. a toast 
in which he recalled their first meet-
ing. Mr. Giles had stoppecl in front 
pf the Nicola home in the west end 
to listen to the singing of two young 
men. One of the singers, Mr. Nicola. 
noticed the eavesdropper and invited 
hiin in to sing. 
From that im-
promptu meeting developed a quar-
tet of hymn singers which attained 
considerable fame around the town. 
Will WalliS, Ogden Lewis. 
Julius 
Hall and Ira Hankins were among 
those who sang at various times in 
'the quartet. 
Went to California 
At that time Mr. Nicola was in 
the best of health. Last May he 
made a two-week motor trip to Cali-
fornia with his daughter, Mrs. Mary 
iEsther Hauck of 15 summer; her 
Eon, Hillis Hauck, and Mrs. W. B. 
Cia wson of San Diego, Ca. 
His health, in fact, remained good, 
and he was seen frequent;Jy down-
town and calling on his old friends 
and pursuing his historical studies, 
until last summer when he suffered 
a stroke while alone at his home. 
He was able to walk out of the house 
and seek assistance, but 1-J.ad bfen 
confined to bed since; his strength 
gradually failing. He recovered from 
the stroke, but complications set in. 
A 
kindly 
personality, 
with 
a 
twinkle of humor forever in his eyes, 
Elder Nicola has a host of friends 
in the community and the !act that 
he had insistea on remaining active 
after his retirement had tended to 
enlarge rather than decrease the cir-
cle of acquaintanceship. 
Long Life a Characterilltic

pow llllder 
-+iicola personally were almost ~er­
tain to have-

hi!< 
father 
through the many baptism 
cere-
monies Elder Henry Nicola conduct-
ed. Long life has characterized the 
famlly, one of Elder Leroy Nicola's 
brothers having been 93 years old. 
Elder Nicola's interest in the his-
torical side of his church rirst cam,e 
to public attention in 1932 when the 
Enquirer and News, with his aid, 
published a series of articles on the 
Beginnings of AdYentism, prepared 
with his help and with pictures, he 
provided. 
These were lat~r set up 
in booklet form and provoked wide 
interest. 
Elder Nicola took his own pictures 
of old buildings having significance 
to the church, such as the residence 
of Elder James White and Mrs. Ellen 
White, the first meeting hou .. •c here, 
and graves of pioneers. 
He made 
photographic copies of old pictures 
of Adventist pioneers, doing his own 
developing and printing. From these, 
and from his writings, he was pre-
paring three large albums. one of 
himself, one for the local church 
and the other for the General Con-
ference. 
Married In 1~81 
Elder Nicola married Miss Sylvia 
Hillis, of Independence, Kan., 
1881, afterward 
locating 
in 
Des 
Moines, Ia., where he did pastoral 
work for 12 years. In 189?. he was 
made secretary of the Gen.-,ral Con-
ference with headquarters in Battle 
Creek. In 1898 when the headquar-
ters were moved to New York City, 
he went there as leader of the In-
ternational Tract society, a denomi-
national publishing organization. 
In 1901 he ::ccepted ,.Jastorates at 
Bighamton 
and 
Union, 
N. 
Y., 
then at Springfield, Mass., tn 1 
Boston in 1910 and Detroit ln 
-H~e-~emttm~·o.there t 
9 
then went to Grand Rapids In 1918. 
After two years there he retired be-
cause of frail health of his parents, 
returning to Battle Creek. His wife 
h<td died in the meantime. 
He was baptized at 18, ordained 
May 18, 1881, and started his pas-
toral work in 1879. 
Leaves Two Sons 
He leaves two sons, Forrest of 
Chicago, and Howard of 16 1-!l East 
Michigan, Battle Creek; two daugh-
ters, Mrs. Nellie Oldham of Los An-
geles, and Mrs. Hauck of 15 Sum-
mer; a sister, Mrs. Joshua Pearce 
of Denver, and 10 grandchildren and 
two great-grandchildren. 
The son, Forrest, was in Florida 
at the time of his father's death, 
being on the road for a Chicago 
music company. 
He 
visited 
his 
father here at Christmas and found 
him

A man came home yesterday to 
the city which his genius and en-
terprise helped to make. 
A?d he 
:tound waiting for him a throng so 
large and enthusiastic that a con-
quering hero could have asked no 
more. 
Happy to be back in Battle Creek, 
Dr. John Harvey Kellogg was greet-
ing old friends today at the . Sani-
tarium as he prepared for a big day 
in his life-his 90th birthday. 
The birthctay will be observed 
Thur&day with a community-wide 
celebration which will be highlighted 
by a testil~onial dinner to be given 
for Dr. Kellogg Thursday night in 
' the Sanitarium main (iiningroom. 
All tickets for the dinner have been 
sold. 
Appearing at least 20 years youn-
ger than he is, Dr. Kellogg arrived 
in Battle Creek Monday afternoon 
by train to be welcomed by between 
2,500 and 3,000 persons, mostly school 
children, gathered a:t the Michigan 
Central station. 
After being taken by automobile 
to the Sanitarium, he told friends 
"that there is a great need for 
Americans to eat more fruits and 
vegetables and less meat." 
"If we strengthen our bodies by 
eating more vegetables and fruits it 
will be much easier for us to defeat 
the Japs,'' he said. 
_ 
Dr. Kellogg suggested to several 
local men that a "Victory Health 
club" be formed in Battle Creek, 
with members putting into practice 
his biologic living principles. 
Dr. Kellogg 'IV'&s accompanied 
Battle Creek from 
his 
Florida 
medical institution, Miami-Battle 
Creek in Miami Springs, by Miss 
Gert~de Estill, his financial secre-
tary and secretary of Miami-Battle 
Creek· A. F. Bloese, his secretary, 
and Mrs. C. K. Butler, his ~ister. 
Three members o! a. general com-
mittee in charge of arrangemepts 
:tor the birthday celebration, Eldon 
C. Geyer, Leroy F. Sparks and Mrs. 
v. Marie Allwardt, boarded Dr. Kel-
logg's train in Kalamazoo and ac· 
companied him into Battle Creek. 
Pleased by Beception 
'nle reception group found Dr. 
ltellogg taking a. nap a.t the back o! 
the train and learned that he had 
been busy on the train dictating to 
Mr. Bloese. 
The doctor sprang to 
his feet and showed the liveliest in-
terest aud enthusiasm in the recep-
tion planned for him. 
At the group's request he went to 
the front of the train, "walking the 
length of the swaying coaches as 
briskly and capably as BllY of us," 
Mr. Geyer said. 
· 
When the train arrived in the s a.-
tton Dr. Kellogg's pleasure was evi-
dent The man whQ-loved ii,ldren 
.so.w~ll that he adopt~ a. huge'kmily 
of them fo~nd the pla.tform thronged

hundreds of them their first oppor-
tunity to see Battle Creek's famous 
physician. The news that Dr. Kel-
logg was coming at 1 p. m. had 
·been spread in the schools, but no-
body knew what the response would 
be-whether hundreds would turn 
out or only a. handful!. 
The doctor appeared briefiy on the 
platform, then was lost to sight of 
those in' the rear ranks as he wen~ 
to his car. 
· 
On the train toming in from Kal-
amazoo the doctor confided to the 
visitors that he was tremendously 
excited over the party planned for 
him. He was manifestly at a. l~ss 
to understand why the commun1ty 
was making such an occasion out of 
it. His visitors told hiln how the idea 
of celebrating his 90th birthday had 
captured the community's imagina-
tion and was being regarded as a 
perfect kind of a. tribute to a. career 
which in large part made Battle 
Creek what it is today.

Born in Tyrone, Mich., on Feo. 26, 1852, he might today pass 
for a man 20 years younger because of 1 
his erect carriage and plump unwrinkled 
cheeks. He exercises vigorously, spend-
ing his winters at the Battle Creek-
Miami Sanitarium which he operates at 
Miami Springs, Fla. 
Although he performed 20,000 major 
operations in 67 years as chief surgeon 
and medical superintendent of the sani-
tarium, Dr. Kellogg considers himself as 
primarily a teacher rather tlian physi-
cian. A disciple of natural methods of 
healing and simple diets, he ·also has 
devised instruments of physio-therapy, 
and has written some 40 books to dis-
Dr., John H. Kellogg seminate medical information to the 
laity. He has contributed articles to every monthly issue of Good 
Health Magazine since 1873. 
. 
He and the late Mrs. Kellogg adopted more than 40 ooys and , 
girls because they had no children of their own. The philanthropic 
bent of Dr. Kellogg also found expression in founding Battle Creek 
College, which he supported for 13 years, and endowment of the 1 
Race Betterment Foundation. He was for 18 years a member of 
the State Board of Health. Speakers at Thursday's banquet in-·

W ~y To Health 
Nijot ne, alcohol and too much 
protein are the principal factors un-
dermining the health of the nation 
when manpower is so much needed 
to fight the war, Dr. John Harvey 
Kellogg declared at a belated birth-
day celebration at the Miami Battle 
Creek sanitarium Sunday after-
noon. 
Dr. Kellogg's 90th birthday was 
in February, but at that time he 
was in Battle Creek where he was 
feted at a civic banquet. He found-
ed the sanitarium here and the fa-
mous Battle Creek institution. 
The doctor, who is in prime physi-
cal condition and who leads a rig-
orous life, told the crowd of almost 
400 guests that a man at 60 should 
be in his prime. more capable of 
functioning than when he was at 30. 
With younger men going off to 
war, he said, it was of prime im-
portance that the men 60 and over 
be capable of carrying on the du-
ties at home. He pointed out the 
long life span of the apes who are 
not meat eaters, alcohol or tobacco 
users, to drive home his theory for 
a long and vigorous life. 
A musical program preceded the 
doctor's talk and refreshments were 
served. 
Dr. Kellogg will speak again 
Tuesday evening when the institu-
tion holds open house in celebration 
of National Hospital Day. The day 
was set to coincide with the birth-
date of Florence Nightingale. TA.e

llberally. 
A Sturdy lnherita.nce 
Inherited 
traits 
probably 
had 
much to do with the life success of 
Dr. Kellogg. 
While he was born 
ln Tyronne, Livingston county. he 
traced through his fa.ther, John 
Preston Kellogg, his ancestry back 
to William the Conqueror, by way 
of the Massachusett.• settlement-s. 
His mother, a · woman o! native 
•billty, skilled in all the arts or 
pioneer home malting, and love o! 
children, was Ann Jeanette Stan-
ley Kellogg, whose line went back 
to English nobility. And one at his 
ancestors was among the Pilgr1ms 
who la.nded a.t Plymouth Rock. 
Dr. Kellogg: was one of a family 
of 16 children. His father married 
twice, his first wife, Mary Ann Call, 
being the mother of five children. 
She died while the home was still 
in Livingston county, and Dr. Kel-
logg's own mother. Ann J. Kellogg, 
came to mother the five children. 
With the death of Dr. Kellogg the 
only surviving children of Ann J. 
Kellogg's 11 children are W. K. 
Kellogg and Mrs. dlara Kellogg 
Butler. All the chidren by John 
Kellogg's first marriage are dead. 
Dr. Kellogg came to Battle Creek 
when four years old in 1856, when 
his father establishEd the first 
broom factory west of Detroit. An-
other branch of the famllY has con-
tinued this business, and ,Kellogg 
brooms are still made in Battle 
Creek. 
The f&mily home was at West 
M.lchigan and Cass. It finally was 
torn down to make room for a 
garage and salesroom. In this home 
his f&ther had a grocery store, and 
the broom factory was across the 
street on Cass b~tween West Mich· 
lgan and 
VanBuren. Later the 
family moved to North Washington 
across from the Sanitarium.

A Name Is Coined 
About this time, Dr. Kellogg coin-
ed the nante Sanitarium., from the 
English word sanitorium, a. health 
resort for invalid soldiers. New ad-
ditions to the first unit were erected 
in 1884, in 1890, in 1894 and again 
In 1897. These buildings were all of 
the same type of construction-
frame buildings, with brick veneer, 
&ll with wide porches, where the 
pa.tlents could have plenty of fresh 
aJr. And because fresh air was rec-
ognized as of prime importance, 
wooden ducts were built through the 
building for ventilation. 
When fire started in the building 
on a cold winter morning-Febru-
ary 18, 1902,-fla.mes swept through 
the building at terrific speed. The 
main building, the hospital and an-
nex, which were connMted by tun-
nels, were all destroyed. All of the 
patients were moved out to safety-
there were thrilling rescues, and 
terrible risks by the city firemen,

William :r.;. Ledlngham, 9~, of 295 
West Michigan avenue, one of the 
founders of the old SeYenth..Qay 
Adventist tabernacle and for years 
well-known 
in 
Adventist circles 
here, died at 9:30 p. m. Wednesday 
after an illness of two months. 
Mr. Ledingham was a clolie friend 
of Dr. John Harvey Kellogg' and 
also of W. K. Kellogg. 
He came 
here in the ear y '70's to attend 
old Battle Creek college and had 
lived here ever since. 
, 
He was a member of the taber-
nacle and · of the 
Three~Quarter 
Century club. 
Shortly after com~ 
ing· to Battle Creek he helped in the 
building of the old Sanitarium. He 
then worked for the Review & Her-
' s.ld for 28 years and for the Bat-
tle Creek Food Co. for about 25 
.years. 
He had been retired 
for 
about four years. 
While working for the Battle 1 
Creek Food Co. he drove the of-
!ice man truck and was well-known 
throughout the business 
district 
where he often made deliveries. He 
also cal1ed daily at the nome of Dl·. 
Kellogg, thus keeping up a friend-
' ship ~·hich had begun when he was 
in college. 
He had only one son, but he rear-
ed and educated several 
children, 
although he never adopted 
them. 
H1s son said today that Mr. Leding-
ham was keenly interested in ath-
letics throughout his life. 
As .a 
young man he was active 1ri wres-
tlin~ and run~ing. 
Mr. Ledingham was bdm Oct. 13, 
1848, in' Clinton, Mass., the son of 
George and 
Isabella 
<La wsonJ 
Ledingham, and 
lived m Mas-
sachusetts until coming here about 
'10 years ago. He was married twice 
his fu·st W!fe, Maria, dying op Sept. 
25 1918, and· his second wife, ;Betty, 
d) ing April 2v 1936. 
Dr. Charles E. Stewart, 71, direc-
tor of the Sanitarium, announced 
today that he would retire at the 
end of this year after more than 50 
years of service with the institution. 
Although the Sanitarium board 
of trustees has urged Dr. Stewart 
to continue as director and has not 
yet accepted his resigl!ation, it has 
given full management and con-
trol o! the Sanitarium to Dr. John 
E. Gorrell, administrator. Dr, Stew-
art will act in an @.dvisory .capacity 
to Dr. Gorrell until the end of the 
year. 
In a letter to all Sanitarium em-
ployes, Dr. Stewart said: "It is 
now more than halt a. centry since 
I became associated with the Battle 
Creek Sanitarium. For some years 
now I have, as you may know, de-
sired to retire at such a time as I 
felt I properly could. 
"Depends on Loyalty" 
"t' bespeak· for !'.lr. Gorrell the 
same :Qearty cooperation from you 
which you have extended to me, and 
you may rest assured that acting in 
an advisory capacity, I shall con-
tinue to give my best efforts to the 
promotion of the welfare of the in-
stitution. We all recognize that the 
future welfare of the Sanitarium de-
pends upon the whole-hearted loy-
alty and harmonious cooperation of 
all of its employes." 
· 
Dr. Stewart came to the Sani-
tarium Jan. 17, 1890, as a farm bo-y 
of 20 from Minnesota. He desired 
to study medicine and had read of 
the Sanitarium men's nursing course 
in an article in Good Health maga-
zine. 
There was no opening in the men's 
nursing course when he arrived, 
however, and he obtained employ-
ment as a night call boy in the 
Sanitarium. Because of his expert 
penmanship, he later was assigned 
to assist the Sanitarium bookkeeper. 
and thereby became well acquainted 
with Sanitarium affairs. 
Studied at U. of M. 
established by Dr. Kellogg in con-
nection with the Sanitarium. 
He joined the Sanitarium medical 
staff in 1900. In 1917 .he was made 
associate director, and, in the ab· 
sence of Dr. Kellogg, acting chief of 
staff. For many years he has con-

fered a stroke, the second within a 
month. She Uved ·in the downstairs 
apartment of a double house and 
the Kenyon$, upstairs. Mrs. Dunlap 
was taken upstairs after the first 
stroke so that her daughter could

Bombs One Way 
T Rout Hordes 
Of Mosquitoes 
The woman who ''bOmbed" swarms 
of mosquitoes off the practice field 
at East Lansing so the Michigan 
State college team could resume 
football training, offered a solution 
today for the home mosquito plague. 
Prof. Eugenia McDaniel of the 
college entomology department di-
rected. three attacks against the 
pests that had been interrupting 
Spartan football practice. 
The first two succeeded for a 
limited time. The third cleared the 
trainmg. grounds of the insects. 
Professor McDaniel used nicotine 
"bombs" and nicotine and pyrethrum 
sprays. Both will do the work, but 
she recommended pyrethrum for 
home use. 
"Nicotine is a deadly poison," she 
said. "You can spread pyrethrum on 
your bread and eat it and never tell 
the difference." 
A mosquito plague in southeastern 
Michigan, coming this year at_ a 
time when in normal years the m-
sects are gone, resulted from hot 
weather in July followed by several 
damp weeks. 
Only a weather change, Professor 
McDaniel said, can combat mos-
quitoes to relieve the condition over 
a wide area this year. 
But a $10 job of spraying py-
rethrum, she added, can solve the 
local' problem. Pyrethrum is an in-
secticide made by grinding the head 
of a daisy that grows in the Medi· 
terranean area.

The old folks smiled, ate and look-

When persons settle down to living 
life at 75 and upwards, there is so 
much to be relived, so much to be 
remembered. There are unsuspected 
vistas of memory down which' old 
folks travel, figuratively, hand in

Kinley, in presidential election years

Many there were who remembered ·

Alton, 
Ill., 
"giant" who was 8 feet 9111 inches 
r tall and was Pelieved the world's 
tallest man, died here early today 
from complications following a foot 
ilHection. 
Wadlow,'who was making a pro-
fessional appearance as the "world's 
tallest man'' at the national forest 
:estival here, suffered an infection 
in his left ankle less than a fort-
night ago. 
The youthful giant's 
condition 
grew steadily worse, and· physicians 
gave him a blood transfusion yes-
terday and performed a minor op-
eration on his foot last night. His 
temperature all of yesterday was re-
ported as "never lower than 106." 
He died at 1:40 a. m. (E. S. T.). 
U11der the management 
of 
his 
father, Harold F, Wadlow, the young 
man was sponsored 
his appear-
ance here by a shoe company. 
A child of normal size at biTtb, 
Wadlow weighed 491 pounds while 
making his last public appearance. 
Medical men said his great height 
resulted from over-activity of the 
pituitary gland. 
Wadlow suffered his injury July 4. 
A brace worn on his ankle chafed, 
and infection set in. He was con-
fined in his potel rather than a 
hospital. His condition had become 
":very grave" yesterday, and he was 
taking nourishment through a tube.

to Bryan,. . 0., seem to . prove the 
theory that you are only as old as 
you feel. . 
Although this is Mrs. Ryker's 
fourth marriag-e, she says she is just 
as excited as she was when she mar-
ried for. the first time at the age of 
16. '.'It's a true romance of old age, 
and 1t w~~ fun eloping," she says. 
While they "ran off" to Ohio to 
be . ma.rri~d, theirs was hardly a 
Whlflwmd courtship. They had a 
rather long engagement. They first 
decided to marry three years ago, 
but several spats prought delays. It 
seems Mr. Ryker was "too fond of 
dancing" and she didn't approve of 
his staying up until midnight. Mr. 
Ryker danced every dance at the 
meetings of the Townsend dub No 5 
liking the square dances especiaily: 
He also gave many special jigs for 
members of the Three-quarter Cen-
tury club. It was not until he prom-
ised not to gad-about so much that 
they were married, Mrs. Ryker says. 
They met eight years ago in Eaton 
Rapids and were introduced by Mr. 
Ryker's fourth wife. 
The fourth 
Mrs. Ryker and the present Mrs. 
Ryker, whose maiden name was Eva 
Cole, were girlhood friends in Eaton 
Rapids. 
Mr. Ryker was widowed 
four years ago, and three years ago 
he gave the present Mrs. Ryker a 
ring. Last Thanksgiving, Mrs. Ryker 
said, they parted, for she "didn't 
bold with his dancing." On Mother's 
day he returned with the ring, said 
he had settled down, and they 
patched things up. 
One of Mrs. Ryker's granddaugh-
ters, Mrs. Leonard Queer of Level 
park, drove them to Bryan. 
She 
sent a card to her daughter, Mrs. 
Jack Perrin, after her marriage, with 
the words, "The knot is tied." The 
bride wore a blue crepe dress,

anxious days for "the afgeschei-

Th.e 
thriving 
Dutch-American 
people on the shore of Lake Michi-
gan always have been linked closely 
with the mother country by ties of 
culture, blood and language. 
To-
day. with the Netherlands holding a. 
perilous ringside seat in the Euro-
pean conflict, 14,000 of them find 
their thoughts turning ever "home-
ward!' 
· 
Holland, Mich .. was established in 
1847 by a party of pioneers heade<l 
by Dr. Albertus c. Vanraalte. Be-
cause these sturdy folk came to the 
United States in search of freedom 
of worship, they were known as 
"afgescheidenen," or secessionists 
from the established Dutch church. 
Over the years the religious mo·· 
tive has receded. But the 
urch 
still holds a commanding place in 
their lives. 
· Ninety percent of the citizens are 
of Dutch descent. Dutch names, the 
Dutch langu~e and J?utch customs 
are almost as pure as they are in old 
Amsterdam. 
Some of that singleness of pur-
.pose which motivated Dr. Vanraalte 
when he led his little band into the 
w~tern Michigan 
wilderness 
93 
years ago this winter survives in tl;le 
modem community. The good doc-
tor's later explanation of why e se-
lected this particular site might 
have been a preview of a Chamber 
of Commerce pamphlet of the 2oth 
century. 
I 
Cites Natural Advantages 
"Although the Americans recom-
mended the localities near rivers 
and ill general deemed it too great 
a hazard to settle here," he said, 
••the combination of so many ad· 
vantages, although at first they 
could be but slowly developed, left 
me no doubt as to what my duty 
was. I knew that the rich forest soil 
is better fitted for the dairy, and for 
winter wheat; that, owing to the 
manufacturing interests and naviga-
tion, by far higher market prices 
could be obtained here than at any 
other place in· the west; and that 
the country near the shore of Lake 
Michigan was protected by the water 
from severe frosts, and preeminently 
a region adapted for fruit. ' 
And so, Dr. Vanraalte's party set-
tled here in February, 1847, aeciding, 
nostalgically, to call the new com-
munity "Holland." There were plen-
ty of hardships during thase first 
years. what with inadequate shelter. 
insufficient supplies and a communi-
cy whose people.had not yet adapt-
eij themselves to the rigors of the 
outdoors, but the well-known Dutch 
stubborness won out. 
"The singing of psalms in huts 'and 
under bushes was something inex-
plicable to the superficial beholder," 
Dr.-Vanraalte once remarked. "With 
many' there was a faith in God and 
a. consciousnesS of a nOble purpose." 
Migration Grows 
The migration of the Dutch to 
western Michigan, once there was a 
definite objective, grew swiftly. By 
1850 Holland and the surrounoing 
country had a. population of 1,829. 
l It was almost 100 percent Dutch. 
and it was to remain so for many 
I 
years to come, augmented right up 
to the present day by fresh arrivals 
from abroad. 
1 
The city was almost destroyed by 
'fire in October, 1871. The disaster 
struck simultaneously with 
that 
which laid Chicago in ·ashes. Even 
blow did not stop the progress 
Holland. Before the embers were 
for 
' superficial improvements of electric 
1 lights, paved streets, modern build-
! ings, automobiles and a very ze8lous 
Chamber of Commerce, 
remains 
: pretty much the community whicn 
was founded by Dr. Vanraatle. 
The old habits, the old customs 
and the old ti~ persist, and with 
them is a close connection with the 
mpther country which these days 
of crisis bring dramatically to the 
foreground. 
Such names as Kaauw, Pfanstiel, 
Vanswaaleuwnberg and Kneeihuizen 
defy Americanization and fully 14 
percent of Holland's telephone di-
rectory is devoted to names with 
such authentic Dutch prefixes as 
"vander," 
'':vanden"

This 
annual 
"tul.pen 
feest" 
presents Holland to the world in all 
its quaint color. Arranged against 
a backdrop of millions of brilliant 
tulip blossoms, patiently cultivated 
by public and private agencies, the 
festival offers an occasion for an 
outward teVival of old country cus-
toms and costumes. 
Thousands of Hollanders dress in 
the wooden shoes and quaint clothes 
of their forefathers and hundreds 
of thousands of visitors come here 
to view "klompen" dances and the 
annual street scrubbing. 
The keen interest of these Dutch-
Americans in the tense European 
situation is unaffected. Nearly every 
family still has some close ,personal 
t.ie with the Netherlands and the 
mails still are loaded with com-
munications passing between Michi-
gan's Hollanders and their friend.

EXPLANATION OF TODAY'S CARTOON 
GREATEST ORATOR IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE 
George Whitefield (1714-1770),,founaer of Calvinist Methodism, is considered the greatest orator to speak 
English tongue. For 36 years he spoke an average of 40 hours a week. He crossed the Atlantic 13 times 
l
and delivered 18,000 sermons, averaging four hours in length each. 
He often spoke to open air gatherings 
of 3 ,000 people in so loud a voice that 'he was perfectly heard by all. He fascinated Benjamin Franklin, who 
'1ad come to scoff. The great actor Ganick offered to pay 100 guineas if he could learn to say "Oh" like 
lMr, Whitefield. He could move audiences to tears by pronouncing the word "Mesopotamia.'' ·Wherever he 
t:)loke, audiences would leave theaters and circuses to hear him. 
He was buried beneath the pulpit of the 
Federal Street chW'ch in Newburyport, Mass.

Here is Paul E. Burkhead in his world-his room in Leila hospital, 
his bed, his radio. Paralyzed for nine months, he has been able only 
lately to operate his own radio receiver. He docs this by means of two 
gadgets, a crank-like volume control and a large wheel on the tuning 
shaft, which he can stroke with his left arm.

High T ribufes Paid 
To Late Dr. Martin 
BY CHARLES HORACE' GitES 
In 1916 I was chasi,ng life insur-
ance prospects up and down the 
Shenandoah valley in Virginia and 
doing some fill-in solo work with 
the orchestras which all thos~ com-
munities support. Troops were call-
ed to the Mexican border. The 2nd 
Regiment of the Virginia national 
guard was recruited from t:O.e valley, 
and I had for several months "sat 
in" at the monthly rehearsals of its 
band, and when the call to the bor-
der came, l was asked to go along. 
I could alternate playing clarinet, 
flute, or piccolo as required. 
I was 57, but I was enlisted as 42, 
silver hair and all. We mobilized 
at Richmond, Va., and from there 
' entrained for parts unknown. We 
finally found ourselves at Browns-
ville, Tex. The first time I served 
in camp as kitchen police, I had to 
peel somany potatoes that my fin-
gers were too stiff to play the "Star 
Spangled Banner" on the piccolo at 
retreat at sundown. 
The director 
told me I might whistle the part. 
· ~ine Months with Coyotes 
We spent nizie months in Browns-
ville. 
One of the entertainments 
we enjoyed was the howling of the 
coyotes in the mesquite bUSh at the 
end of our camp about 3 o'clock 
mornings. What the inhabitants 
there call "northers" were some-
thing to experience while living in 
tents With no stoves and no over-
coats and , with one thin blanket 
made to carry in our packs. · As 
alternatives to "northers" we had 
hurricanes from off the Gulf, which 
•blew down all our tents and even 
the frame kitchens. 
For our return ·from the bord,er 
we. were furnished with Pullmans 
With single berth:; to ee.ch sold· er, 
but we were again five days and .six 
nigl!ts on the road, during which 
tinie tqe men spent many an hour 
playing and singing, "Carry Me 
Back to Old Virginny," with more 
and expression than I ever 
heard it rendered be:tore or since. 
soon after we were mustered out 
from the border service, the World 
,war br6ke, and we found ourselves 
agairi on a troop train, this time 
headed for a training camp in Ala-
bama, where I served a 'year to a. 
day. 
Our camp was in a sort of 
a basin in the foot hills of the Alle-
gheny mountains and we were there 
in the cold winter of 1918 (the same 
year the northern cities were l:ieing 
rationed in theii: coal supply.) 
Wh1le we :were in training camp, 
the government instituted its sol-
diers' ' life insurance and when it 
was discovered at division head-
quarters from my personnel card 
that I was a life insurance agent, I 
was detailed to assist. By that time 
our division numbered about 30,000, 
and it was some job to get that 
f many "&.ppUcations for insurance 
Washil!lgtc>nd ' pr~erly :fllled o~t and ~...! in~ur~~ 
c~p, where my ~xperience in the 1 
army and my knowledge of the sol-J 
diers' insurance, would render my 
services of value. 
Saluted Everyone Then 
I followed this advice and was 
accepted into the Red Cross service, 
appointed assistant field director 
witn the rank of ca12tain and sta-
tioned at the debarkation camp at 
Newport News. 
I was assigned to 
handle the reception and distribu-
tion of the supplies contributed bY 
the local chapters throughout the 
nation. I ha served in the army 
as an enlisted man for two years. 
Now I wore tlie gold cord of an of-
ficer and had to answer the salutes 
of the enlisted men as well as of 
my fe~low officers, which pra,ctice I 
found to be more burdensome than 
that ot saluting the other way 
around. Besides oatfitting the em-
barking men from the Red cross 
supplies, which included sweaters, 
woolen helmets and gloves, razors, 
blades, shaving brushes and soap, 
tooth brushes and paste, hand mif-
rors, 'housewives" (sewing kits),-I 
was soon looking after the needs of 
the retm ng wounded men. Most 
of them h d not received th'eir pay 
for months, it having followed them I 
from hospital to hospi~l. The Red I 
Cross furnished them with money 
as well as supplies and notified 
their relatives b~ wire of their ar-1 
rival, their condition and their 1 
whereabouts. For the performance 
of these se:t:Vlces for the outgoing 
and returning soldiers, I was fur-
nished a car and chauffeur, a truek 
and driver, and each morning a de-
tail of Negroes. from the labor batta-
lion. I served with the Red Cross 
for two years, continuing on 
fo~ 
several monthS after the armistice 
because of the needs of the return-
ing wounded men. 
My last six' 
months were spent at Fort McHen-. 
ry, 'Baltimore, where I assisted in! 
the establishment of a new govern-
ment hospital. From the window of 
my room there I looked out on the 
old brick b\lJ.ldings o! \he fort, the 
old fishioned .cannon· ana pymllifds 
of shells, and the harbor waters 
wliere once rode the English war-
ship, on board which Francis Scott 
Key wrote the words of the "Star 
Spangled Banner," while a battle 
raged. -
On resigning from the Red Cross, 
I entered the government war risk 
insurnnce bureau, now renamed the 
veterans' bureau, serving a year in 
Wlisli.mgton, and six months eacll 
ill the states of Minnesota and 
Georgia, where I assisted in estab-
lishing branch offices of the bureau. 
My work in the bureau consisted 
mostly in adjustln 
the claims of 
the ·beneficiaries· of deceased service 
en and oi those who had been dis· 
abled in service. · 
Finally I resigned from that 
wor~ and returned to Battle Creek 
after .Q,aving served two years each· 
in the army, Red Cross, and govern-
ment insurance bur::!au, and enjoy-
ing ew~ry minute of the six years' 
experiences.

Hearing on the will of the late Dr. 
John Harvey Kellogg was again ad-
journed ·ror one week in probate 
court this morning. 
Following this most recent ad-' 
journment it was leamed that for-

of 30 days is required to permit the 
parties to obtain another attorney.

Two o; the 11 legally adopted a 
children of the lat Dr. John Har-
vey Kelelogg are contesting his will, 
by which he undertook to leave his 
entire personal estate in tmst to be c 
used to profnote biologic living. 
c 
The objectors, it was learned Sat-t. s 
urday, are a son, George John Kel-
logg of Detroit, a YMCA worker, 1 
and a daughter, Mrs. Bessie Ella ll 
MacPherson of Cheyenne, Wyo., the , 
wife of a newspaper editor. 
Both have filed objections In pro-
bate court at Marshall and peti-
tioned to have the will certified to 
circuit court for a jury trial of the 
i~ues raised. 
A hearing on the probate of the 
will has been adjourned several 
times and is now scheduled for 
Friday. 
The two objector's, who are repre-
sented by Attorneys Cyrus J. Good-
rich of Battle Creek ana Maurice 
Dreifuss and Fred Q. Dewey of De-
troit, challenge the will on several 
grounds, including-the authenticity I 
of the s1gnature. They allege that 
Dr. Kellogg, who was 91, "did not 
have the mental capacity to make a 
will at the time," Oct. 28, 1943; 
that he was under 
due influence; 
that the will "by reason of the in-
definite and uncertain provisions. 
purposes and aims therein set forU1 
is invalid in law," and that Dr. Kel-
1 logg dic:l not have ''a present recol-
lection of the natural objects of his 
bounty" with the result that the 
names of the petitioners were "omit-
ted through inadvertence .. accident 
and mLc;take." 
Dr. Kellogg's will made no be-
quests to individuals. The whole of 
his estate, which has not been esti-
mated publicly, was entrusted to 
five executors with broad boards to 
expend it to promote reforms in 
biologic liv!ng and reg'iment therapy 
and to teach the theory and prac-a 
tice·of biologic living as exemplified 
by the Sanitarium. The executors 
are Dr. James T. Case, Dr. Richard 
M. Kellogg, Miss Gertrude Estill, 
Jens T. Christiansen and John H. Ol 
Haas.

Probate Judge Indicates Ob-
jections Will Be T rieo. 
Following a hearing in probate 
eourt at Marshall this morning on 
the will of the late Dr. John Harvey 
Kellogg, Judge Francis A. Kulp in-
dicated that he would certify the 
petitions of those Pl'otesting pro-
bate of the will to the circuit court. 
It was expected that the papers 
would be signed and issued by the 
first of the week. 
Counsel for the petitioners has 
asked for a; jury trial of the case 
in circuit court, which would make 
a court hearing of the case impos-
. sible at the present term. 
Those who have filed ~bjection 
to the will, which directed that Dl'. 
Kellogg's personal estate be placed 
in the hands of five executors and 
used for promotion of biologic liv-
ing, have each claimed that the 
doctor's mental condition did not 
pe1·mit him to write a will, that the 
document was not properly executed 
and that each was omitted from a 
specific bequest through an inad-
vertance on the doctor's part. 
Those contesting the will are 
George John Kellogg, an adopted 
son, now living in Detroit; Mrs . 
Bessie MacPherson of Cheyenne, 
Wyo., an adopted daughter, and 
three childfen of an adopted son, 
the late Paul Morrison 
Kellogg. 
They are William Reagh Kellogg, 
Helen Kellogg Bowles and Evelyn 
Kellogg, all of Detroit. Evelyn Kel-
logg is a minor and her appearance 
in the case is made by her mother 
and guardian; Mrs. Bessie Kello~g. 
leaves Nothing to Individuals 
1n Creating Trust tol 
Teach Reforms. 
Dr. John Harvey Kellogg· dedi-
cated his life Qf 91 years to a broad 
concept of philanthropy and near 
its close wrote· a will leaving his 
entire personal estate for the wel-
fare of humanity . 
.His will, written ou Oct. 28, 1943, 
was filed in probate court at Mar-
shall today by Emil Storkan, a.s 
counsel· for Dr. Kellogg's estate. ' 
The doctor died at his home here 
last Tuesday night. 
Dr. Kellogg has named Dr. James 
T. Case, Dr. Richard' M. Kellogg, 
Gertrude Estill, John H. Haas and 
.:rens T. Christiansen as his execu-
tors. He has directed that all net 
income and profits 'from his estate 
shall be 
ed to ptomote reforms in 
biological living and regimen thel'-
apy and to teach the theory and 
practice of biologic living as e'ltem-
plified by the Battle Creek Sani-
tarium. 
The generosity of his gift to man-: 
kind is emphasized by the broad 
powers which have been given to 
his executors. They are not re-
stricted to 
activities which are 
closely di~·ected but have authority 
under the Will to use their judgment 
in a hieving the ends of his trust 
and in meeting conditions a.s the~ 
arise in the f\lture. 
Estate Not Estimated 
Those close to Dr, Kellogg see in 
his plan an opportunity for pro-
jection of his work through the 
trustees in the growth and success 
of the Sanitarium itself. 
No attempt bas been made .t 
appraise the estate. It consists of 
Dr. Kellogg's majority interest in 
the Battle Creek !'ood Co., his resi-
dence property embracing a city 
block in Manchester street ahd 
other scattered holdings. 
Through hi many Hf~-time phil-
anthropies Dr. Kellogg gave away 
1 rge sums for rna y purposes. His , 
giftS included a large block of stock 
in the Battle Creek Food Co., which 
he gave to the Race 
tterment 
Foundation. 
· 
Dr. Kellogg: was the founder Of 
the Race Betterment Foundation, 
which organization he has further

Is San Trustee 
Succeeds the tate Dr. John 
Harvey Kell~gg on Board. 
Dr. James R. Jeffrey, chief of 
staff at the sanitarium, was ap-
pointed today by Judge Blaine w. 
Hatch as a member of the board 
of trustees pendente lite of the 
Sanitarium, to succeed the late Dr. 
John Harvey Kellogg. 
' 
Resumption of the trial of the in· 
junction suit brought by the Sani-
tarium against 
the 
seventh-day 
Adventist church conference and 
, other defendants, is now scheduled 
for April 17 in 'circuit court here. 
Replacing Dr. Kellogg as joint 
plaintiff in the st,p.t which asks that 
the Adventists and other defendants 
be restrained permanently from in-
terfering in the business of 
the 
Sanitarium, will be one or more of 
thp executors yet to 'be named in 
the doctor's estate. 
At the scheduled hearing in pro-
1" bate of Dr. 
ellogg's will at Mar-
. e shall this morning, another adjourn-
~ ment was taken for 
two 
weeks. 
Meanwhile, John H. Haas, one of 
the executors named in the will, 
is acting as temporary 
adminis· 
trator of Dr. Kellogg's estate. 
Addition of Dr. Jeffrey to the 
temPQrary board has placed a suc· 
cessor trustee on this group who has 
long been associated with the Sani-
tarium and Dr. Kellogg and whose 
plans are to carry on the broad 
health program which was devel-
oped by the late medical director. 
Other members ·.of this board are 
Dr. James T. Case, 
Atty. 
John 
Dethmers, Dr. R. H. Harris and 
Elder T. G. Bunch. 
Dr. Jeffrey, 55, was born in Elm· 
dale, Kan. and came to the Sani· 
tarium in 1911 • to study nursilig. 
He was graduated at the nurses' 
school in 1913 and then entered the 
Uni ersity of nunois where he was 
gradUated in· medicine in 1917. The 
next five years were spent as a sur· 
geon in naval service. 
The local physician returned to 
the Sanitarium in 1922 and in 1935 
joined Dr. Kellogg as chief of staff 
at the Miami-Battle Creek Sani· 
tarium in Miami Spring~, Fla. He 
returned to Battle Creek in 1942. 
Dr. and Mrs. 
Jeffrey 
live 
1n 
Greenwood avenue. They have two 
sons, James, who is a graduate of 
the Miami university and William, 
a sophomore at Central high school.

History of Institution Reviewed 
As Dr. R. H. Harris Takes 
Stand Today. 
Old recora books were 
austed off and recent events 
in Sanitarium history re-
iewed today as Dr. Row-
1Iand H. Harris, a defendant, 
took the stand in circuit 
court as the first witness in

tlie Sanitarium and 'Dr. J. H. 
Kellogg against the Seventh-
day Adventist church and 
other <lefendants. 
The case is being heard by Judge

"This bill has been filed to estab-
lish fraud and conspiracy in an at-
/ 
tempt to gain control of $700,000 in 
cash and $300,000 in other assets of 
the Sanitarium," Attomey Kim Sig-
j ler of the Sanitarium counsel told 
the court in his opening sta:tement. 
Mr. Sigler then briefly recounted 
the corporate history of the Sani-
tarium, the events leading up to the 
annual meeting of its constituerfcy 
on March 31 and April 1 this year 
and the obtaining of injunctions by 
r. Kellogg to restrain the defend-
ants from interfering in business af-
:tairs of the institution. 
State Is Represented 
John R. Dethmers, assistant at-
~orney general, sat at the counsel 
table as representative of the state. 
"The attorney general is taking 
:no interest in this case with respect 
to right of either the plaintiffs or 
defendants except as they may af-
fect the public interest," 'Mr. Deth-
mers said., "At this time we hav.e

Tells of Leaving San 
Mr. Sigler continued his cross-
examination of Dr. Harris: 
Q.-How did you happen to leave 
the Sanitarium in 1919? 
A.-One day in the operating 
room, Dr. Kellogg had a patient un-
der ether ready to remove a gall 
bladder. 
Dr. James T. Case was 
present as a visitor. Dr. Kellogg 
walked up to the operating table 
picked ~P a knife and, holding it 
aloft, said, 'I herby resign in favor 
of Dr. Case.' From then on, things

Dr. Harris testified as io the de-
tails of a conference held at the 
local Tabernacle with church of-
ficials on March 28, just prior to the 
annual meeting of the Sanitarium 
membership in March 31 and April 
1. He testified also, that he had at-
tended a conference of church 
workers held at the Burdick hotel 
in Kalamazoo on March· 30. Byron 
L. Ballard, counsel for the ~dvent­
ists, anuounced that he had the 
transcript of this meeting taken 
by Roy V. Ashley, and that he 
·would furnish it to attorneys for 
the Sanitarium so that it might be 
studied during the noon hour to-
. day. 
Conferred with Judge 
Dr. Harris also testified concern-
ing some of the details of the an-
nual meeting of the Sanita1'ium. He 
said that when the meeting con-
vened that onlY ctual members of 
the constituency were in the audi-
toriwn of the college building but 
that approximately 200 of he pros-
pective members who had been 
signed up by church workers were 
in the lobby. on the steps or gTouna~ 
of the building. 
Attorney Ballard interposed with 
the information .that after a first 
injunction was obtained on April 
1, the deputy sheriff had announc-
ed that the d.ocument sus,pended all 
further activity. 
"I called on Judge Blaine W. 
Hat-ch, however, and learned that 
the injunction did not prevent 
holding a meeting, but simply re-
strained certain individuals," said 
Mr. Ballard. 
Mr. Sigler then resumed question-
ing Dr. Harris: 
Q. How 
any constituents were 
there in tJie room when the meet-
ing convened at the Sanitarium? 
A. About 58. 
Q. Where wa.s Elder Branson? 
A. He was in the lobby of the 
building. 
Q. Did you see him at all? 
A. Yes, he was standing near the 
south door of the entrance to the 
lobby. 
At this polllt the noon recess was 
taken today. 
Attorney Don Kenneth JonetJ of 
Chicago, who was not in court 
yesterday, joined with the Sanita-
rium counsel in court today. 
Reads Attack on Merger 
Mr. Sigler continued his cross-
examination of Dr. Harris through-
out the Wednesday afternoon ses-
sion, the questioning being inter-
rupted by occasional reading of let-
ters or minutes of Sanitarium board 
meetings by Mr. Sigler. 
Mr. Sigler read into the record

Dr. Harris testified that a meet-
ing with Elder W. H. Branson, 
Attorney M. C. Taft of the Ad-
ventist ronference and others had 
been held in his office on Febru-
ary i2 this year. to plan for the 
p&rt that \ht} lhw·ch would have 
at the annual meeting of the Sani-
tarium. 
:Mr. Sigler read a list of 13 names, 
reported to have been proposed at 
this February 12 meeting for tru.;-
tees of the Sanitarium: 
Q. Why did you pick these men? 
A. Because they are all experienc-
ed in operating sanitarium and 
sympathetic ,with this work. 
Q. Every one at the meeting in 
your office was an Adventist ex-
cept yourself. How did you happen, 
to be invited? 
A. I had written a letter about 
the merg-er plan. 
Q. How did they happen to drop 
ill at your office? 
A. I think they met somewtiere 
else and invited me over. Then I 
invited them to my offit:e. 
Kept His Own Counsel 
Q. Did you disclose to anyone 
that you were turning information 
about the Sanitarium over to the 
Adventist chut"ch and their attor-
ney? 
A. No, I did not. 
Q. 
h 
did you give a list o! con-
Stitiu 1cy members to tlie Adven-
tists, rather than the Episcopalians, 
!or example? 
A. Because a 
majority of the 
employes and those interested il1 
the Sanitarium have been Ad-
ventists. 
Q. At the meeting in your of-
fice. riidn •t you decide to ·have a 
book of the Sanitarium's "Declara-
. tion of Principles" printed? 
A. Yes-at my own expense. 
Q. You didn't mention this to 
anyone, you just went ahead and 
had it printed? 
A. Yes. 
Q. After this book was printed, 
what did you do with it? 
A. T gave it to Attorney' M. C.l 
Taft. 
Q. How long did Mr. Taft have 
the book? 
A. About 24 hours. 
Q. Then what happened? · 
A. After the names had been 
1 m·itten in, the book was presented 
r to the secretaty of the Sanitarium. 
Among other .communications 
read il~to the record by Mr. Sigler 
were two from Elder Branson, ex-
ecutive vice president of the churc:
 
1confe1·ence. 
One was the letter of 
February 10, addressed to consti-
tuents of the Sanitarium, annoWlc-
ing the annual meeting on March 
31 and April 1 and offering trans-
portation, per diem expenses and 
remuneration from time lost of 
jc.bs for those who woui.d attend 
the meeting "to vote against tl1e 
merger plan." The other letter was 
addressed to Dr. Harris and an-
nounced a meeting of Adventists 
n Battle Creek on March 28, which 
')r. Harris said he attended at tile 
rabernacle. 
Herbert J. Rushton, Michigan at-
torney general, served official notice 
Saturday that he will intervene in 
the injunction suit of the Sanitar-
ium and Dr. John Harvey Kellogg 
against the Seventh-day Adventist 
conference and other defendants, 
trial of which is scheduled to start 
in circuit court here Tuesday. 
The trial, in which Dr. Kellogg 
will seek to have the Adventists and 
their associates restrained perma-
nently from interfering in the affairs 
of the Sanitarium, will bring leading 
church dignitaries to the city and is 
expected to fill the courtroom with 
partisan spectators. 
In filing notice of his appearance, 
the attorney general said: "It being 
necessary to protect the interests 
and rights of the people of Michi-
gan I hereby intervene." 
I~terventlon of the state .is rcport-
d to be based on the contention 
of Dr. Kellogg· that it was the pur-
pose of the Seventh-day Adventist 
Conference and its associates to 
ISe:tie the assetS of the Sanitarium 
and to .,make it sectarian in deroga-
tion of the express provisions of the 
public trust and the charter under 
which the Sanitarium is operated. 
M. c. Tart, general counsel for the 
Adventist col'poration in Takoma 
Park, Washington, D. C .. is ill ~nd 
it s expected that the church and 
other. defendants would be repre-
,~o;ented bv Attorney Byron Ballard of

Reply also is made to claims by 
Dr. Kellogg that for 40 years he has 
devoted much of his efforts to the 
Sanitarium without salary and that 
to permit the defendants to get con-

disastrously injurious."

wbicb led to receivership and re-
organization under 
~;ectlon 77B of 
the national bankruptcy act and 
stm later to the sale of its main 
buildings to the government for use 
as an army hospital, to poor busi-
ness judgment on the part of Dr. 
Kellogg and "the ambitious build-
ing program which he forced upon 
the association." 
The answer for the defendants 
was filed by Byron L. Ballard of the 
Lansing law firm of Shields, Bal-
Conference of Seventh-day Adven-
tists and the General Conference 
Corporation of Seventh-day Ad· 
ventists. 
Since commencement of court 
proceedings, counsel for Dr. Kel-
logg has visited Washington and 
obtained 
depositions 
from 
Elder 
Branson and H. H. Cobban, as-
sistant secretary of the conference. 
Besides statements of these men, 
the attorneys obtained 118 exhibits 
in the form of correspondence, bear-
ing on the terms 1,1nder which mem-
bers of the church were brought to

Deny Bad Motives 
The defendants claim that in the 
period from 1914 to 1932 Dr. Kellogg 
received from the Sanitarium $111,-
082.40 and that in the period from 
1920 to September, 1936, he received 
from the Battle Creek Food Co. an 
additional $562,777 in salary, divi-
dends and money paid on personal 
account. The defendants say "they 
are informed and believe" that the 
food company is the property of the 
Sanitarium although Dr. Kellogg 
claims to own a majority of its 
stock. 
Dr. Kellogg "with the aid of cer-
tain trustees dominated by him 
. . . has dissipated . . . upwards 
of $400,000 in cash upon buildings 
and properties in which the (Sani-
tarium) has no interest ... , to-Wit, 
the Race Betterment Foundation 
. . . without any lease or contract 
for the occupation of said premises 
having been agreed upon or execut-
ed" between the foundation and 
the Sanitarium. 
The claim also is 
made that Dr. Kellogg is the dom-
inant factor, president and trustee, 
of the foundation; that the other 
trustees are persons closely related 
or a oclated with him, and that 
one of the objects of the founda-
tion is "to support and care for cer-
tain relatives" of the doctor.

the corporation agreed to pay the

fendants did or that there was any-
thing immoral or illegal in this pro-

that a large nwnber of new mem-

tion and that the membership fees, 
amounting to $15,900, were paid for 
them by the General Conference

The court case had its inception 
when Dr. Kellogg and the Sanita-
rium obtained an injunction against 
the Adventist church and other de-
fendants, restraining them from in-
terfering in the affairs of the Sani-
tarium. The injunction was issued 
on April 1.

On April 12, attorneys for Dr. Kel-

Washington, D. C., and returned 
with photostatic copies o! 118 ex-
hibits, including letters, telegrams,

material contained numerous ref-
erences to other documents, and the

T11e court action grows out of

stituency. Dr. Kellogg brought this

At the opening of the hearing 
this morning, 
Attorney 
Dor.i 
K. 
Jones of Chicago, appearing for the 
plaintiffs, began an outline of the • 
f~~ ::;te~r. :t~!g l~te:e~~ f. 
by Judge Hatch, who stated that he R-
had read all of the information 51 
that had been filed. 
s1 
"The only additional information v. 
that we have," said Mr. Jones, "ls b 
that Burritt Hamilton and myself 
visited Washington to take a num-
ber of depositions and these indi-
cate that it is important that we 
be permitted to obtain a depositlon 
from Dr. R. H. Harris. 
"These depositions and -the eli:-
1 
hibits which are included contain , 
some 
astounding 
developments, 
which show that Elder W. H. Bran-
son, used the expression 'If we can • 
get control of this money."' 
It is one of Dr. Kellogg's claims 
1 
that the church officials were in-
terefted in the assets .that t e S"ani-
tariu 
has and that this claim is ' 
e.sta.blislled by a letter sent by Elder • 
(Continued from Paige One.) · 
Branson to church members in va-
rious sections of the country, offer-
ing to pay their expenses to the 
Batt.Ie Creek meeting. 
Attomey Byron Ballard, repre-
l5enting six of the defendants, de-
clared· that he was. willing to go to 
trial at an early date, if the com·t 
holds that it has jurisdiction in the 
matter. This question was later set-
tled by the stipulation that the 
trial is to be 1·egarded in part as a 
quo warranto proceeditlg. 
"This injunction should not be 
dissolved until both sides have a 
chance to be heard," said Judge 
Hatch. 
"Why not eliminate this 
motion and set a. date for the trial 
right now?" 
Dr. Harris and Dr. Obarlea B. 
Stewart, two of the defendants, were 
in the courtroom. 
Both sides in the litigation brought 
by Dr. John Harvey Kellogg and 
the Sanitarium against the seventh-
day Adventist conference and other 
defendants have begun the task of 
marshaling their witnesses and evi-
dence for tlial of the case stRl·ting 
Monday, June 28. 
It was forecast by both plaintif! 
and defendant counsel tbat the 
trial wm last at least two weeks. 
The trial date was set by Judge 
Blaine W. Hatch Saturday when a 
hearing was held in circuit court 
at Marshall on a motion of the de-
fendants to dismiss the temporary 
injunction obtained April 1 by Dr. 
Kellogg and the Sanitarium. The 
action was taken on the plaintiff's 
claim that the church and its 
friends sought to seize control of 
the Sanitarium. 
At the hearing Saturday. Judge 
Hatch withheld action on the de-
fense motions, arranging an early 
trial date instead of going into the 
subject of dismissing fue tempor-
ary injunction. He held also, that 
in view of the prospect of an early 
trial that a request of the plaintiff 
to obtain a sworn statement from 
Dr. R. H. Harris could await his 
questioning at the trial. 
· 
It was expected that both sides 
'would call long lists of witnesses 
to the stand. Attorney Byron Bal-
l lard, of Lansing, appearing for the 
I defendants, said Saturday that he 
planned to take depositions from 
many 
witnesses in such remote 
points as California and Florida, 
rather than go to the expense of 
bringing them to Battle Creek. 
Although 16 defendants were list-
ed by name in the action brought 
by Dr. Kellogg, appearance has 
I been made in the case for only six. 
These are Elder W. H. Branson. Dr. 
Charles E. Stewart, Dr. R. H. Harris, 
Elder T. G. Bunch, Elder J. J. Neth-
ery, and Dr. H. M. Walton. There 
has been no h1dication that the re-
maining defendants will appear in 
the suit. 
The injunction obtained by ti11' 
Sanitatium 
brought 
the 
annual 
meeting of that institution to a llalt 
on April 2, after a new board of 
trustees had been elected by the 
constituency. The plalnt!Ho claims 
that this election was held at a 
"rump" convention, while the de-
fendants allege that the trustees 
were legally elected and should now 
be empowered to take office.

~ 
• 
executives, employes and guests were

keenly appreciative of his loss. 
Or r. e ogg 
Throughout the institution, however, 
confidence was expressed that the

it. It was expected that an adequate 
i reorganization would be effected im-
1
. mediately which will assure a per-
petuation of the effort of 67 years 
that Dr. Kellogg had given to the 
Sanitarium. 
The Rev. Carleton Brooks Miller, • 
pastor of the First Congregational 
church, will conduct the services, 
assisted by Elder E. L. Pingenot, 
The procedure by which the fu-
ture will be molded, however was 
not clear. 
For example, it could 
not be learned today whether Dr. 
Kellogg had ever executed a will. 
In recent weeks he had discussed 
a trust arrangement and had drawn ! 
up a tentative plan. 
Much of Dr. Kellogg's interest had 
centered in the Race Betterment 
Foundation, which he originally en-
dowed and which he had carried 
on .in association with Dr. Case, Miss 
Gertrude Estill, James Haas, Dr. 
s pastor of the Seventh-day Advent-
hi ist tabernacle and the Rev. Henry 
I N. Jordan, pastor of the Seventh-
a day Baptist church and chaplain at

While preparations for funeral 
t and burial services of Battle Creek's 
i: distinguished medical men were be-
\ ing completed, messages of regret 
1 and of tribute to Dr. Kellogg and 
l his work were arriving from friends, 
acquaintances and former associates 
in all parts of the nation. 
Dr. Kellogg died at 11:30 p. m. 
on Tuesday at his residence, 202 
Manchester, after an illness of three 
days with pneumonia. 
Dr. James T. Case of Evanston, 
Ill., former chief surgeon at the

BY CHARLES l\IARENTETTE 
(As80clated Pr~~s Sta.ft Writer) 
Dr. John Harvey Kellogg tugged 
t hi~ scanty white shorts, expand-
d hts bare chest, and vowed he'd 
one pretty well for a "grass eateJ;." 
He chuckled wnen he said it. 
"They called me a •grass eater' 
ack when 
first got started teach-
ing people about biologic livipg," 
he explained. "All of us, even those 
who believed as I did, were laugheli 
at. But I guess we showed ' em." 
He was showing 'em right then, 
at 91 years of age, as he trotted 
t b.ack and forth across a backyard 
I 
cmder footpath for the benefit of 
news photographers 'this past sum-
mer. The death that overtook him 
Tuesday night seemed a; iong ways 
away then. 
Clad only in the white shorts and 
running shoes, the silver-haired, 
goateed doctor broke out in a. light 
sweat from his running, said it was 
a. sign of good health, and wanted 
to know if "the boys" had their 
shots. 
"Do it again?" he asked. "Why 
I can run like this just a.s long as 
you have any film." 
And he did. 
"That's something I -;to every day 
in the year," he said. "It's the best 
exercise in the world. People don't 
exercise enough." 
Holding out a muscled forearm, 
Dr. Kellogg insisted that the news-
men feel it, "give it a good pincll." 
It was as firm as rock. 
'Tm like that all over," he de· 
clared proudly, his goatee pro-
truding firmly. 
''Feel that chest." 
It, too, was as solid as a. prizefig·ht-
er's. 
"You·ve got to live right," he went 
on. 
"You boys smoke?" 
Gettino-an 
affirmative nod, the doctor to~k a. 
step forward and announced, ''It's 
bad for you." 
Pulling on a white dressing gown, 
the doctor assumed a John L. Sulli-
van stance and told· the boys why 
they were OIJ. the wrong track. 
"You can't smoke and drink alco-
hol and expect to live a long life," 
he said. 
''I'v·e been teaching that 
for years, and I know. Had a cat 
once and gave it just the smallest 
drop of nicotine and do you know 
what happened? 
It died. 
Works 
the same on a man, eventually. 
· 
"I believe that man was intended 
to eat the ·plants and fruits and not 
the animals. Meat is bad for a 1m-
man heing. It clogs your colon, and 
eventually you'll be sick. There are 
enough wonderful plants and fruits 
and nuts and vegetables to keep 
everyone well and healthy. Look at 
me. 
I haven't touched meat for 
more than 75 years. I don ·t smoke 
and I don't drink. Never have. I 
don't take patients at my Sanita-
rium unless they agree to absta ' 
from eating flesh foods and from 
smoking and drinking, at least as 
long as they want me to help them." 
The sun's shados had moved 
quite a distance now and still he 
stood there, expounding his theories 
of biologic living. 
The newsmen, 
smokers all, were beginning to wilt. 
"Need any more shots of me run-
ning?'' he asked. No, the boys said; 
they'd done pretty well. 
"Ho~ ~bout a few of me riding

"In connection with his conduct , 
of tM Sanitarium, he devoted much 
attention to the use of physio-ther-
apy; he made many interesting in-
novations in the devices used for 
this purpose, including particularly 
the so-called electric light bath and 
the sinusoidal current. 
"His numerous writings and lee-
1 
tures on both health and hygiene " 
attracte wide attention. He was a f 
member of the Michigan state board 
of health from 1878 to 1890 and from 
1912 to 1916. He was a Fellow of 
j the American Association for the ,

"He was a warded an honorary 
LL.D. by Olivet college and Lin-

In the course of his career, Dr. 
Kellogg held rigidly to a mm1ber of 
concepts, some of which did not 
meet with general medical approval. 
These include, among others, veget-
arianism, 
the 
extensive 
use 
of 
grains, fruits and vegetables in the 
diet. 
Dr. Kellogg's principles included 
rigid opposition to tobacco and alco-
hol, outdoor sleeping, drinking of 
buttermilk, specialized types of seat-
. ing devices and systems of exercise. 
He placed special stress on multiple I 
daily action of the bowels. Not-

Sanitarium he utilized advances of 1 
modern medical science and empha-1 
sized the importance of continuous 1

The action was taken on motion 
of defense counsel and representa-
tives of the Sanitarium expressed 
approval of the court's action. 
John R. Dethmers, assistant at-
torney general, named to the board 
to represent the public trust that is 
involved because of the fact that the 
Sanitarium is incorporated under 
the charitable and benevolent laws 
of Michigan. 'Mr. Dethmers was 
born in Iowa, Oct. 15, 1903, attend-
ed Hope college and was graduated 
in law at the University of Michi-
gan. He was prosecutor of Ottawa 
county for eight years, with his 
offices at Holland. He is now state 
chairman of the Republican party 
in addition to serving as assistant 
to Atto1·ney General Herbert Rush-
ton. 
and the large building as worth 
$136,000. 
• 
The defense counsel introduced 
further evidence in support of its 
claim that $250,000 was spent on re-
modeling and improving the present 
building of the Sanitarium. Dr. Kel-
logg had informed the trustees that 
the Race Betterment Foundation 
would permit the use of the build-
ing by the Sanitarhnn rent-free and 
and a resolution was read wh1ch 
cc1vered an "occupancy ag-reen1ent" 
providing that if occupancy should 
cease that a fail· adJUstment would 
be made. 
Court action by the Sanitarium 
was instituted on Apnl .1 when an 
injunction was obtained to. pl·event 
the Adventist hmrch and 1ts asso-
ciates !rom interfering in the af-
fairs of the Sanitarium.

mony was taken on regular court 
days until August 4, when Judg_e

Three other adjourn-
ments were taken subsequently as 
negotiations continued, but testi-
mony was resumed yesterday after 
it was announced th_at settlement 
was impossible at thls time. 
The

vbjected to the proposed merger

of the Sanitarium and the Race 
Betterment Foundation because the 
proposed articles would have per-
mitted removal of the Sanitarium, 
perhaps out of the state; because it 
reduced the board !rom 10 to seven 
members with a self-perpetuating 
board and would eliminate the con-
stituency. 
"I have always been opposed to 
the idea of the Adventist confer-
.ence operating the Sanitarium or 
having itS members on the board of 
trustees," Dr. Colver said. 
Under cross-examination by At-
torney Sigler of the Sanitarium 
counsel, Dr. Colver said that he had 
been a member of the Adventist 
church for about 50 years, "remain-
ing in the church until the cleavage

dered a s1milar service in Australia. 
He then spent 32 years at the de-

koma Park, D. C. He said he had 
been a member of the constituency 
at the Sanitarium since 1897. 
Under 
cross-examination 
Dr. 
Kress said that his expenses and 
those of his wife had been paid to

of 
the 
injunction 
suit 
brought by tl1e Sanitarium against 
the 
Seventh-day 
Adventist 
con-
ference and other defendants is to 
be resumed here in circuit court at 
9 o'clock Tuesday morning unless 
an 
out-of~court settlement should 
be agreed upon ove~· the week-end .. 
Tho e clo e to the case said a 
settlement seemed to be a rather 
remote possibility. 
Judge Blaine W. Hatch int 
·upt-
ed the court proceedings last Wed-
nesday morning with the suggestion 
that a recess be taken to see if the 
parties could not get together on 
a settlement. 
When court recon-
vened Thursday morning, another 
recess was taken until Tuesday. 
After the Wednesday adjourn-
ment, counsel for the Adventists 
went into conference with church 
officials and others in the defend-
ant group. 
As a result of these 
meetings a proposal was sub.q1itted 
Thursday morning which was re-
. jected by the Sanitarium counsel. 
' The details .of the proposal were not 
disclosed. 
Since the Thursday adjournment, 
council for 
the Sanitarium has 
drawn up a document in the form 
of a suggested court decree, which 
embodies 
the findings 
that the 
plaintiff feels the judge should or-
der in tl1e case. The attorney-s men-
tioned specifically that this decree 
contains no element of compromise, 
substantially sets forth the relief 
that 
the 
Sanitarium 
sought 
in 
bringing the suit. 
A copy of this 
document has been given to coun-
sel for the Adventist.'> for their con-
sideration. 
Thus after fow· days of negotia-
tions, nothing has developed that 
approaches any compromise action 
and as a result it was expected that 
witnesses would be 1·ecalled to the 
stand on Tuesday morning and the 
1 
trial resumed. 
Judge 
Hatch 
am1ow1ced 
last 
week, however. that only this week 
will be devoted to trial of the case, • 
which probably cannot be conclud-
ed within less than two weeks of~ 
the court's time. 
The judge and 
other court officials plan to resume 
their swnmer vacations a week fron.1 
Monday, so that if the trial goes 
on it will probably be adjourned

A fourth recess in the trial of the 
injunction suit o! the Sanitart~ 1 
against the Seventh-day Adventist 
conference was taken in circuit 
court here at 1:30 o'clock this after-
noon, until 9 a. m. Friday. 
Attorneys representing both sides 
were to continue their conferences 
with a view to a settlement out of 
court. 
The first inter:ruption in trial of 
the ca.se took place a week ago to-
day, when Judge Blaine W. Hatch 
announced that time would be taken 
out to permit the counsel to talk 
things over. On the following day 
another adjournment was taken. 
All parties were back in c~urt Mon-
day afternoon, when a thrrd recess 
was taken until this afternoon. 
Since the Monday adjournment 
only informal confe1·ences have been 
held by the attorneys, as both sides 
were awaiting the return to f3attle
