Subscribe and pay for the Iowa State Bystander. The IOWA STATE BYSTANDER made its first appearance June 8, 1894, and since that date it has made regular weekly visits to its thousands of subscribers. Its object has been to carry the news to its subscribers, to print a clean newsy paper, that each member of the home that it goes into can read, to publish such news as will encourage each man, woman and child who desire to do something for humanity. That life is worth all the effort that one can put in it to try and convince each boy and girl that they owe it to the race to secure the best education they can, to show each parent that to be loyal to the race they should make every needed sacrifice to educate those about them, to hold up for the encouragement of the young, from time to time those who have and those who are doing so much for the race, to do as little harm and as much good as possible. When this company was organized it was composed of ten members and the most of them have the same interest in it. Through these twelve years there has been but few changes in the management of the paper, and therefore the same policy has been carried out. We have tried to keep step with the onward march of the great age with its many inventions. We started in a small room with one desk and a few chairs. Today the company has an office with a phone, twewriter and other necessary equipments that go to fit up a good office. Adjoining the office is a large composing room with all that is required to run a first class newspaper and job office. We will leave it to our readers to form their own conclusion as to the progress the paper has made, as to its honesty and fair dealings, as to whether it can rely on them for their continued support in the future. We desire to thank you for being our friend and to also say that you can help the paper by getting your friends to subscribe. Remember that the Bystander is the friend of all who are friends to themselves. What is There for the Young Man or Young Woman Who Leaves School Today? As the great army of young men and women who step out of schools and colleges this month, the question will be what has the twentieth century in store for them? The young man or woman who goes forth to meet the world today are extremely blessed. They are born in the best age of the world's history. They come to a prepared world. If their ability, knowledge and fitness will only measure up to the opportunities, a splendid heritage is theirs. Thinkers have thought for them, workers have worked for them, inventors have invented for them, heroes have sacrificed for them, martyrs have died for them, and parents have labored for them. Is it not a great thing to be young today? All the intervening of ages have brought their best brain, heart and soul and laid them at the feet of the young men and women of today. All thing are theirs; they have therefore a splendid chance; all the centuries say to them, we have poured into your-lap our treasurers of wisdom and achievements, our science and philosophy, our art literature and religion—saying, take them, they are yours, use this heritage for the building of a worthy manhood and womanhood. With all this at your command you must work if you expect to get the praise and leave something for the coming generation.

Martin visited at the parental parental home a few days last week. moral water supply. When great sums of money are being expended by city governments that the inhabitants of towns may have a military water supply it seems strange that the supply in rural towns should receive little or no attention. This later population may seem relatively significant, but according to the last tenus it comprises about 40,000,000 souls. This means that the 40,000,000 people are drinking the water most available without a thought of its sanitary condition. These various sources of supply, whether wells, springs, or small streams, are similarly unreliable for furnishing drinking water. The statistics of mortality in the country are very indefinite, but even these show that the rural population is not as free from illness as it should be. And though everywhere the rural death rate is lower than the urban death rate, yet the lowering in the country has not been as great as in the city. An examination of typhoid statistics shows that the death rate of other diseases is generally lower in the country than in the city, but the prevalence of typhoid is almost equal to if not greater in the rural districts than in the cities. Several instances have been reported which show the rural typhoid rate to be ten times greater than the urban rate for the same district. To particularize a certain district in central Pennsylvania proves this fact. It is made up of a rural population with one hundred inhabitants to the square mile. It is a region of many typhoid fever as in the city of Philadelphia. Sad as this condition is there to be no remedy for it. The sources of a city water supply are few and the city government easily controls the conditions affecting it. But what can be done when the sources of supply are numered by the thousands? A mint of money and an army of chemists would not be sufficient to give the same care to the country supply that is given to that of the city. Continuous Business The fact that the first "night and day bank" in the world opened in New York a few days ago, and was an assured success from the start, is probably of more significance than the average reader of the news images. According to some preternaturally farsighted observers, the bank that never closes is the first step toward the time when the machinery of metropolitan commercial life, instead of stopping at sunset, will roll on ceaselessly day and night, when three relays of clerks and artisans and laborers and employers will succeed each other, and the metropolis will become, in every sense of the world, an all-day and all-night city. Such a state of affairs, say the observers, is being forced forward by the fact that New York's population grows more and more congested and more than any other thing, room is demanded. If we have our population demanded. In we have our population can work in the space now occupied by one, and the growing congestion will be relieved. If such a day ever arrives, says a local correspondent, the city will really have three separate populations, one of which will be wholly nocturnal. The three will have their separate newspapers, different amusements, different interests, different outlooks upon life. While one shift is breakfasting another will be dining; while one is sleeping, another will be at the height of its daily activity. But the imagination falls at the state of mind of the housewife whose husband and sons would be scattered through the three relays and whose whole life would be a jumble of conflicting breaks fasts and dinners and sleeping hours. The World's Athletes "Olympic games" in which the winners are youths from Australia, Australia and Canada look like a very new thing, but there is really nothing new about the success of the outlying districts in these classic contests. It was quite a common thing in the ancient day for athletes from the outlying Hellenic states and the colonies to take the prizes, and the conditions that made victories for greater Greece in those days are precisely the same as those which win the laurels for Sheridan, Sherring and Asty to-day. That is to say, it is the pioneer who has in him the spirit of the champion and the tradition of overcoming. It is the "new country" that gives the hope, the eagerness, the elasticity that makes great athletes. Officials of the New York city administration have at their disposal two dozen automobiles, which cost the city originally over $55,000, nearly half as much being required annually for their maintenance. It is believed that by the end of this year the number of city owned autos will be increased to 50 and inquisitive aldermen are hating that this is an altogether unnecessary expense, especially as some of the officials use the machines in going to the races and in attending to other private affairs. In describing a wedding an Indian Territory exchange announced that one of the bridesmaids wrote "a velvet outfit a mile long, and 16 rows of buttons on her gloves. Her hair was dead yellow, tied up like a bun and had a lot of vegetables in it." An Indiana young woman died the other day in consequence of having devoured a combination of spinach and strawberry shortcake. "Promaine poisoning," said the doctor. No won- Awful Tragedy in Exchange Hotel at Eldon. Ottumwa—D. E. Grindell and his wife, known as Alice Davis, both members of the Angel's Co.联媒s show company, were found dead in a room in the Exchange hotel in Eldon shortly after 8 o'clock on Tuesday morning. Filled with the couple to appear at breakfast caused comment and when the clerk went to call them he met with no response. When an entrance was finally forced to the room both Grindell and his wife were dead. The woman lay on the bed, fully dressed, with a bullet hole in her head. On the floor near by a bullet hole in his head and a revolver sun casped in his hand. From all indications Grindell killed his wife and then committed suicide. The tragedy must evidently have occurred shortly after the couple arrived at the hotel the previous night; enough no one has been found who had any shots fired during the night. As usual Grindell and his wife appeared at the company's performance in a tent on Monday night and they gave no indication as to their intentions to die. Whether Grindell deliberately murdered his wife or whether she chose to die with him is a matter to be decided. The company to which the couple belonged arrived in Eldon Sunday and gave their first performance there Monday night. Members of the company say that Grindell had been a sufferer from consumption and that a few days ago he consulted a physician, who told him that he had but a few weeks to live. Dependency health is believed to have lead him to commit the murder and suicide. The couple left no word in explanation of their action. They have been with the Angel's company for the past five years and were very much devoted to each other. Grindell was 47 years old and formerly lived in Plattsmouth, West. His home is in Hamilton. O.R. Relatives of both people have been notified of the affair. COFFIN'S PROTEGE ASTRAY. Philanthropist Is Disappointed by Edward Klein. Fort Dodge—Sheriff Oleson landed another forger in Edward Klein, whom he found at Waukesha, Wis., where he is now in jail. Klein was recently an inmate of Hope Hall, which is located on Hon. L. S. Coffin's farm. During the past week two checks amounting to $24 turned up at local banks despite the statute in H. I. Battledome who is a son-in-law of Coffin, and who resides on the farm. Rutledge denies the authorship of the checks and the officers went to work on the case, locating Klein. This is one of the first of Father Coffin's proteges to go wrong. "Hon. Coffin was a good boy ago by Mr. Coffin as means of helping ex-cvicts to get on their feet. He said that the average convict found it almost impossible to secure work when released from prison and in consequence was forced to commit crime to live. He thought that if a place was prisoned was possible and a home until another community was presented, more of them would reform. CYCLONE IN WINNESHIEK Several Persons Injured and the Property Loss Is Large.

The injured man's bowels were perforated five times in his bowels in the table and was not strong enough to withstand the operation. The dying man made a statement to Dr. Schafer to the effect that his brother meant to kill him. Dan had taken a jug of wine from him and Nell relied on him to kill his gun and shot his brother three times. Dan feels bad over the death of his brother and stubbornly ayes that the shooting was accidental and that he did not mean to kill his brother or even injure him. He did not mean to injure Dan. Dan will no doubt be held for murder in the first degree without ball. Charles City—The department store of the Rustie Co. was raided by burglaries and a small amount of booty secured. Entrance was gained through a basement window. A reward of $100 is offered for their arrest. Shoots His Older Brother.

Dres Moines,—"Joe" Trigge, the "Farm Philosopher" of Iowa, one of the best known agricultural writers and experts in the United States, died at his old home in Rockford at 3:35 o'clock yesterday morning, after an illness extending over several months. The cause of Mr. Trigge's illness and death was an affection of his wife, whom, which brought on slow paralysis and ultimately nervous prostration. At the time of his death Mr. Trigg was editor of the Weekly Register of this city, and resided at $225,000, however, when he was first taken sick, he had spent most of his time with his son, Paul Trigg, editor of the Grinnell Register, at Grinnell, and his son, Frank Trigg, editor of the Rockford Journal, at Rockford. Joseph S. Trigg was born in England over sixty years ago. When a young man he came to America and ever after made his way in the world and educated himself. He became an educational instruction in his boyhood or young manhood. Mr. Trigg enlisted in the Union army from Minnesota and served during the civil war. Afterwards he settled in the Republic and he purchased the register, which he operated until his son took charge. Mr. Trigg's "Erm Philosophy" attracted attention all over the country and his services were sought by the American Press Association, which operated weekly better in country newspapers throughout the west. In this way Mr. Trigg's reputation as an agricultural writer and expert received its greatest impetus. Above one year ago Mr. Trigg came to the University as editor of the Weekly Register. G. A. R.

Kennedy of Monrose, Lee county, was nominated by the First district congressional convention on the 103d ballot, after Hon. C. A. Carpenter of Louis county had withdrawn from the race. The final vote stood Kenney at 12.2 McCold 41.2. On Wednesday 100 ballots were taken without success. The first two ballots on Thursday morning were practically the same as those during the deadlock. Then the withdrawal of Carpenter was an indication that Louis county divided her vote, seven to Kennedy and five to McCold. Des Moines gave each remaining candidate 11 1-2 votes. Henry transferred one of her Carpenter votes to McCold and two to Kennedy; and Washington gave two to Kennedy; and Washington and seven to Kennedy. The nomination was made unanimous on motion of Washington county. Henburn Is Renominated Creston—Congressman W. P.

Iowa Falls.—While hunting pigeons that nest in the crevices of the rocks of the blufa along Rock Run, Robert Williams, the fifteen-year-old son of C. William, the fifteen-year-old escaped death. He missed his footing and fell feet to the bottom of the chasm, landing on the solid rock bottom of the run. One leg was broken and he was badly cut and bruised. He was taken to the Elsworth hospital and after an hour he thought he was not injured internally. Mt.

Springtime—after the weather has become well settled—is painting time. There is no dust flying, no insects in the air at that time ready to commit suicide by suffocation in the coat of fresh paint. The atmospheric conditions are also favorable at that season for proper drying and increased life of the paint. It should be a habit with every property owner every spring to look over his buildings, etc., and see if they need repainting; not merely to see if they "will go another year," but whether the time has not come for putting in the proverbal "sitch" in the building that usually save line. For one coat of paint applied just a little before it is actually needed will often save most of the paint on the building by preventing it from letting go and causing endless trouble and excuse. Paint lets go because linedseed oil, which is the " cement," that holds all good paint together, gradually decays or oxidizes, just as iron exposed to air and dampness will slowly decay or oxidize. The water and oxygen in the air are the cause of the trouble in both cases, and the only reason, outside of its beautifying effect, that we apply paint to wood or iron is be cause we want to keep water and air away from them. Live paint, that is paint in which the linedseed oil is still oily, does this very effectually but dead paint, that is paint in which the paint is still oily, does this very effectually but more impervious to air and water than a single thickness of cheesecloth would be. If then we apply a fresh coat or oily paint before the old paint is dead, the oil from the new coat will penetrate the old coat, and the whole coating will once more become alive; and this method of renovation may go on indefinitely. This explains why it is better economy to repaint a little before it becomes absolutely necessary than a little after. When the paint is once dead the fresh coat will pull the whole coating off. In the days when repainting meant a general turning of things upside down twofold, cluttered of the place with kegs, cans and pails, a lot of inflammable and ill-smelling materials standing on, etc, the dread of painting time was natural. So was the dread of soapmaking time, of shirt-making time, of candle-moulding time and the like. But we live in an age when soap comes from the store better and cheaper than we can make it, when shirts are sold ready made for less than we can buy the materials, when we can burn coal oil or gas cheaper than we can make tallow candies, when we can buy plastic want to repaint is to pick out our colors from the card at the store and pay the painter for putting on the paint. When it comes to picking out the paint it is not necessary that one should be a paint chemist, any more than one should be an oil chemist when buying kerosene, or a department store buyer when selecting shirts, or a soap chemist when buying soap. All that is necessary to paint is to have an edge of the character of our paint dealer and the reputation and standing of the maker of the paint offered. Nor must one expect to buy a pure linedeal oil paint for the price of linedeal oil alone. It can be taken for granted when anyone offers to sell dollar bills at a discount, he is baiting a hook for "suckers." So it can be taken for granted when anyone—whether mall order house, paint dealer, or a store that is too cheap, he is bidding for the trade of "suckers." no matter what his promises. But paints sold in responsible stores under the brands of reputable manufacturers are all good products, differing from one another in the less important matter of the solid pigments contained, but practically alike in having their liquid portions composed essentially of pure linalool oil, a competition of the better class of oil derived from interior walls practically out of the market, and no manufacturer of standing now puts out a poor paint, under his own name at least. As to guarantees on paint, they can be taken for what they are worth. Any reputable manufacturer will make good any defect actually traceable to the paint itself and not to improper use or treatment of it. The really important guarantee which the paint buyer should exact from his dealer is that the paint is made by a manufacturer that knows his busk quality and his other record. If he secures this guarantee he can afford to chance the rest of it—the paint will undoubtedly give good service if properly applied according to directions. Willing to Oblige.

UPTON SINCLAIR STRIKES BACK Author of "The Jungle" Faces Prince of Packers With Awful Array of Facts Calculated to D.stroy the Infamous Industry. In a recent issue of the Saturday Evening Post Mr. J. Ogden Armour makes the assertion that the government inspection of the beef trust slaughter-houses is an impregnable wall protecting the public from impure meat, and that not an atom of diseased meat finds its way into the products of the Armours. Mr. Upton Sinclair, author of "The Jungle" (a terrife statement of packing house conditions), studied the meat industry for two years, including much time spent in the Chicago stockyards as a workman; he is the best equipped outside authority on stockyard conditions. In Everybody's Magazine for May Mr. Sinclair makes sharply and convincing answer to Mr. Armour's assertion, commencing with the statement that J. Ogden Armour is the absolute and not the nominal head of the great packing house industry which bears his name Mr. Sinclair says: "I know that in the statements quoted, Mr. Armour willfully and deliberately state what he absolutely and positively knows to be falsehoods." That he might be properly equipped to describe conditions in "Packingtown" Mr. Sinclair worked for a period as a laborer in the plant of Armour & Co., and he tells of sights of flath and horror such as he hopes never to see again, but the strongest coincidence of the truth of the claim that meat unfit for human food is put on the market comes from a man for years superintendent at Armour & Co.'s Chicago plant, Thomas F. Dolan, of Boston. Mr. Sinclair in his article says: "At the time of the embalmed-beef scandal at the conclusion of the Spanish war, when the whole country was convulsed with fury over the revelations made by soldiers and officers (including Gen. Miles and President Roosevelt) concerning the quality of meat which Armour & Co. had furnished to the troops, and concerning the death-rate, and concerning the death-rate of 'condemned-meat industry' became suddenly clear to one man who had formerly supervised it. Mr. Thomas F. Dolan, then residing in Boston, had up to a short time previous, been a superintendent at Armour & Co.'s, and one of Mr. Philip D. Armour's most capable and trusted men. When he read of the death-rate in the army, he made an affidavit concerning the things which were done in the course of his affidavit he took to the New York Journal, which published it on March 4, 1899. Here are some extracts from it: "There were many ways of getting around the inspectors—so many, in fact, that not more than two or three cattle out of 1,000 were condemned. I know exactly what I am writing of in this connection, as my particular instructions from Mr. W. E. Plerce, superintendent of the beef houses for Armour & Co., were very explicit and definite. "Whenever a beef got past the yard inspectors with a case of lumpy jaw and came into the slaughterhouse or the 'killing-bed', I was authorized by Mr. Pierce to take his head off, thus removing the stinger and causing the smitten portion to the tank where refuse goes, to send the rest of the carcass on its way to market. "I have seen as much as 40 pounds of flesh afflicted with gangrene cut from the carcass of a beef, in order that the rest of the animal might be utilized in trade. "One of the most important regulations of the bureau of animal industry is that no cows in calf are to be placed on the market. Out of a slaughter of 2,000 cows, or a day's killing, perhaps one-half are with calves. My instructions from Mr. Pierce were to dispose of the calves by hiding them until night, or until the inspectors left off duty. The little carcasses were then brought from all over the packing-house and skinned by boys, who received two cents for removing each peit. The pelts were sold for 60 cents for each manufacturer. This occurs every night. Armour's concern at Chicago or after each killing of cows. "I now propose to state here exactly what I myself have witnessed in Philip D. Armour's packing-house with cattle that have been condemned by the government inspectors. "A workman, one Nicholas Newson during my time, informs the inspector that the tanks are prepared for the reception of the condemned cattle and that his presence is required to see the beef cast into the steam-tank. The cattle are placed, indicated, and the condemned cattle, having been brought up to the tank A Stone Barometer In northern Finland, so a native paper informs us, is a large stone which serves the inhabitants as an inaffilable barometer.

"But the condemned steer does not stay in the tank any longer than the time required for his remains to drop through the boiler down to the floor below, where he is caught on a truck and hauled back again to the cutting-room. The bottom of the tank was open, and the steer passed through the aperture. "I have witnessed the fards many times. I have seen the beef dropped into the vat in which a steam-pipe was exhausting with a great noise so that the thud of the beef striking the steam-pipe not be heard and in a short time I have witnessed Nicholas bringing it back to be prepared for the market. "I have even marked beef with my knife so as to distinguish it, and watched it return to the point where it started. "Of all the evils of the stockyards, the canning department is perhaps the worst. It is there that the cattle from all parts of the United States are prepared for canning. No matter how scrawny or debilitated canners are, they must go the route of their brothers and arrive ultimately at the great boiling vats, where they are steamed until they are reasonably tender. Bundles of gristle and bone melt into pulpy masses and are stirred up for the canning department. "I have seen cattle come into Armour's stockyards so weak and exhausted that they expired in the corals, where they lay for an ornament or afterward hauled in, skinned, and put on the market for beef or into the canning department for cans. "In other words, the Armour establishment was selling carrion." "There are hundreds of other men in the employ of Mr. Armour who could verify every line I have written. They have known of these things ever since packing has been an industry. But I do not ask them to come to the front in this matter. I stand on my oath, word for word, sentence for sentence, and statement for statement. "I write this story of my own free will and volition, and no one is responsible for it but myself. It is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help mr. God." "THOMAS E. DOLAN. "Sworn to and subscribed before me this first day of March, 1899. "ORVILLE F. PURDY, "Notary Public, Kings County, N. Y. "Certificate filed in New York county." The significance of this statement, as Mr. Sinclair notes, is heightened by the fact that, published as it was in a newspaper of prominence, whose proprietor is a man of immense importance, by the courts, Mr. Armour made no move to institute suit for libel, practically admitting that the statement was true. Mr. Sinclair makes the assertion, and gives abundant proof, that the worry incidental to the "embalmed beef" scandal during the war with Spain caused the death of Philip D. Armour, and that millions of dollars were were lost. The effort to keep concealed the truth about the matter. The awful mortality from disease among the soldiers during that few weeks' campaign was distinctly attributable to the meat rations supplied to the army. There seems small reason to doubt that meat as little fit for human food is still being placed on the market. How much disease has been the consequence be imagined. Summing up the entire facts of the situation, Mr. Sinclair concludes: "Writing in a magazine of large circulation and influence, and having the floor all to himself, Mr. Armour spoke serenely and boastfully of the quality of his meat products, and challenged the world to impeach his integrity, but when he was brought into court charged with crime by the commonwealth and different tone, and to a different purpose; he said 'guildy'. He pleaded this to a criminal indemnity for selling 'preserved' minced ham in Greenbaum, and paid the fine of $50 and costs. He pleaded guilty again in Shenandoah, Pa., on June 16, 1905, to the criminal charge of selling adulterated 'blockwetst'; and again he paid the fine of $50 and costs. Why should Mr. Armour be let off with fines which, if less common, would reduce the price of a large stamp to you or me, instead of going to jail like other convicted criminals who do not happen to be millionaires?"

Musical Youth Made a Hit with the Great Pianist by Playing His "Minstet." Rosamond Johnson, of Cole & Johnson, composers of that once popular song, "Under the Bamboo Tree," held a position as bellboy in Young hotel in Boston. This place, says Success Magazine, he once nearly lost, through taking the liberty of playing the piano, to play the pianist. Paderewski, who was staying at that hotel, had rung for a belboy, and young Johnson answered the call. Being so fond of music, he made bold to ask the great composer and pianist to play the "Minstet" for him. Paderewski could not understand English then, and the boy thought from his gesticulations that he wished him to play it. So he sat down at the piano and commenced playing, enter the room just then, the manager happened, enter the room just then, the manager happened, throw him in the room and went directly to the management and had him discharged. As soon as he learned what had been done, Paderswere, who had been pleased with the had's playing, sent for the manager of the hotel and had Johnson reinstated in his position. Time to Get Busy.

The pin was a curiosity, and its amber of a unique carving. They hesitated, but handed the pin back. Desperately he neglected the search anew. Two ladies unattended seemed likely owners.

PRESIDENT DECLARES CONDITIONS IN CHICAGO STOCK YARDS ARE REVOLTING Sends Strong Message to Congress with Reynolds-Neill Report—Drastic Inspection of Meat Urged—Serious Charges Again Packers Are Substantiated in Document. Washington, June 4.—The Senate and House of Representatives: I transmit herewith the report of Mr. James Bronson Reynolds and Commissioner Charles P. Nelll, the special committee whom I appointed to investigate into the conditions in the yards of Chicago and report thereon the conditions in the report of a preliminary nature. I permit you now because it shows the urgent need of immediate action by the congress in the direction of providing a drastic and thoroughgoing inspection by the federal government of all stock yards and packing houses and of their products, so far as the latter enter into interstate or foreign commerce. The conditions shown by even the short inspection to exist in the Chicago yards are revolting. It is imperative that the interest of health and of decency that they should be radically changed. Under the existing law it is wholly impossible to secure satisfactory results. Orders Further Investigation. When my attention was first directed to this matter an investigation was made under the bureau of animal industry of the department of agriculture. When the preliminary statements of this investigation were brought to my attention they showed such defects in the law and such wholly unexpected conditions that I deemed it best to have a further immediate investigation by men not connected with the bureau, and accordingly appointed Messrs. Reynolds and I was impossible under the existing law to satisfactory work should be done by the animal industry. I am now, however, examining the way in which the work actually was done. Before I had received the report of Messrs. Reynolds and Neill I had directed that labels placed upon any package of meat food products should state only that the carcass of the animal from which the meat was taken had been inspected at the time of slaughter. If inspection of meat food products at all stages of preparation is not secured by the passage of the legislation recommended I shall feel compelled to order that inspection labels and certificates on canned products shall not be used hereafter. Packing Houses Unreasonably Dirty. The report shows that the stock yards and packing houses are not kept even reasonably clean, and that the method of handling and preparing food products is unclearly and dangerous to health. Under existing law the national government has no power to enforce inspection of the many forms of prepared meat food products that are daily going from the packing houses into interstate commerce. Owing to an inadequate appropriation the department of agriculture is not even able to place inspectors in all establishments destring them. The department has uninspected meat to foreign countries, but there is no provision forbidding the shipment of uninspected meats in interstate commerce, and thus the avenues of interstate commerce are left open to traffic in diseased or spotted meats. If, as has been alleged on seemingly good authority further evils exist, such as the improper use of chemicals and dyes, the government lacks power to remedy them. A law is needed which will enable the inspectors of the general government to inspect and supervise from the hoof to the cane the preparation of the meat food products. This will enable the meat food in the sale of dressed carcasses than in the sale of canned and other prepared products; and very much less as regards products sent abroad as regards these used at home. In my judgment the expense of the inspection should be paid by a fee levied on each animal, slaughtered. If this is not done, the whole purpose of the law can at any time be defeated through an insufficient appropriation; and whenever there was no particular public interest in the subject it would be not only easy but natural thus to make the appropriation insufficient. The government I should favor the government paying for the inspection. The alarm expressed in certain quarters concerning this feature should be allayed by a realization of the fact that in no case, under such a law, will the cost of inspection exceed eight cents per head.

I call special attention to the fact that this report is preliminary, and that the investigation is still unfinished. It is not yet possible to report on the alleged abuses in the use of deleterious chemical compounds in connection with canning and preserving meat products, nor on the alleged doctoring in this fashion of tainted meat and of products returned to the packers as having grown unsable or unusable from age or from other reasons. Grave allegations are made in reference to abuses of this nature. Let me repeat that under the present law there is practically no method of stopping these abuses if they should be discovered to exist. Legislation is needed in order to prevent the possibility of abuses in the future. If no legislation is passed, then the excellent results accomplished by the work of this special committee will endure only so long as the memory or the committee's work is fresh, and a recrudescence of the abuses is absolutely certain. Passage of Law Urged I urge the immediate enactment into law of provisions which will enable the department of agriculture adequately to inspect the meat and meatfood products entering into interstate commerce and to supervise the methods of preparing the same, and to prescribe the sanitary conditions under which the work shall be performed. I therefore commend to your favorable consideration and urge the enactment of substantially the provisions known as senate amendment No. 29 to the act making appropriations for the department of agriculture for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1907, the same. This amendment being commonly known as the Beveridge amendment. THEODORE ROOSEVELT. The White House, June 4, 1906. THE REPORT. A Synopsis of the Reynolds-Neil Document. Washington, June 4. — The following is a synopsis of the report of J. B. Reynolds and Commissioner Nell to the president on conditions in the Chicago stock yards. The two officials recently investigated the charges of the horrible conditions there on the instance of the president, and the report has been anxiously awitted. Rooms Dark and Unsanitary The report says that two one-half weeks were spent in the investigation in Chicago, during which "we went through the principal packing houses in the stock yards district together with a few of the smaller ones. A day was spent by Mr. Reynolds in New York city in the investigation of its leading slaughter houses." The report says that in many of the rooms where meat is used freely the floors are soaked and lined and the dingy rooms are naturally not kept suitably clean. An absence of cleanliness was found everywhere in the handling of meat being prepared for the various meat food products. The parts that are sent from the cooling room to these departments where various forms of meat products are prepared, are handled with no regard to cleanliness. The workers climb over beds and linen, piece they piece, they lie and frequently throw them down upon the dirty floor beside their bench. "In a word," the report adds, "we saw meat shoved from filthy wooden floors, piled on tables rarely washed, pushed from room to room in rotten box carts, in all of which process it was in the way of gathering dirt, splinters, floor flth; it was always the reply that this meat would afterwards be used to eat that the mineralization would prevent any damage from it. A very considerable portion of the meat so handled is sent out as smoked products and in the form of sausages, which are prepared to be eaten without being cooked. "A particularly glaring instance of uncleanness was found in a room where the best grade of sausage was being prepared for export." Inspection System Defective. The report says that the radical defect in the inspection system is that it was confined at present by law to pass through the animals of an animal at the time of killing, but the meat that is used in sausage and the various forms of canned products and other prepared meat foods goes Where Man Is Vile "If the poet were alive to-day I think he'd write it a little differently."

Good Gift. Mrs. Clarence H. Mackey has presented the Nassau county (N. Y.) jail an organ and a library for the use of the women prisoners. through many processes, in all of which there is possibility of contamination through unsanitary handling and further dander through the use of chemicals. During all these processes there is no government inspection, although these products when sent out bear a label stating that they have been passed upon by government inspectors. The report arranges the sanitary provisions in the buildings as abominable, and says the men and women plunge their naked hands into the meat to be converted into food products. The report says the burden of protecting the cleanliness and wholesomeness of the products and the health of the workers and improving the conditions must fall upon the national government. Account Book Supreme. Department superintendents "seem to ignore all considerations except the account book," and proper care of the products and of health and comfort of the employees is impossible, and the consumer consequently suffers. Tuberculosis victims expectorate on the spongy wooden doors of the dark work rooms, from which falling scraps of meat are later shoved up to be later converted into food products. "Even the ordinary decencies of life are completely ignored," says the report in disucsing the arrangements for women and women employees. The report says. Situation Unparable. The whole situation, as we saw it in these huge establishments, tends necessarily and inevitably to the moral degradation of thousands of workers, who are forced to spend their working hours under conditions that are entirely unnecessary and unpardonable, and which are a constant menace not only to their own health, but to the health of those who use the food products prepared by them. The report urges compulsory examination after slaughter, inclusion of goats, now exempt from inspection intended for foreign or interstate commerce, in the list subject to the inspection of the bureau of animal industry, which they should be equally controlled by the secretary of agriculture. Increase of inspectors for night inspection and special work; legislation prohibiting declarations of government inspection of food products unless subject to government inspection at every stage of preparation; prohibiting interstate transportation of any meat or meat food products not inspected and labelled urges considering the question of whether food is fresh meat which upon examination after slaughter show signs of disease but are still deemed suitable for food; and recommends study of inspection standards of other countries. WOMEN'S CLUB IN COREA. Suffragists in That Country Demand Many Radical Changes in Several Important Lines. Though the woman movement is making vast strides and gathering converts in many unlikely places, even the most hardened suffragette will be interested in the news that Corea is the latest scene of war in the ladies' battle. The movement takes a similar form to that which has shown elsewhere, and is interesting if only from this point of view, as auguring the possibilities of a big united movement in the distant future on the part of all progressive women. Equality of the sexes is what the Corea political change in woman's dress, better education and an improved business footing between Corea and other countries (a novel idea this), with the intention of thereby benefiting the women indirectly in the increased prosperity of the country. The women who have allied themselves to this movement are drawn from the upper middle class, and have opened a women's club, and have embodied the ideas already noted in a manifesto, which is a truly amazing document. The members of the new club are doffing their native costumes, and going in for a terrible European compromise, which the inovable women are always willing to learn, play a conspicuous part. The club has grown up members and also young schoolgirls, who, to show their independence, are allowed to go to school and in the streets minus the sheltering "apron" (a head covering) which is always worn by the Corean feminine when before the public gaze. In the manifesto the Corean women bewal their hard lot; debarred a voice in the affairs of either household or state, they feel they are in an evil case indeed, and believe themselves to be the most decent members of the globe.

"Since the year 1894 I have been troubled with a very bad case of eczema which I have spent hundreds of dollars trying to cure, and I went to the hospital, but they failed to cure me, and it was getting worse all the time. Five weeks ago my wife bought a box of Cuticura Ointment and one cake of Cuticura Soap, and I am pleased to say that I am now completely cured and well. It was impossible for me to get employment, as my face, head and body were covered with it. The eczema first appeared on the top of my head, and I had worked all my days around the back of my neck and around to my hips.

Pink. ham's Vegetable Compound. How many women realise that a period in a woman's existence is the change of life, and that the anxiety felt by women as this time dwindles without reason? men realize that the most critical period in a woman's existence is the time she lives, and that the anxiety felt by women as this time draws near is not without it. If her system is in a deranged condition, or she is predisposed to apoplexy or congestion of any organ, it is at this time likely to become active and, with a host of nervous irritations, make life almost impossible. At this time, also, cancer and tumors are more liable to begin their destructive work. Such warning symptoms as a sense of suffocation, hot finish, loss of appetite, weakness and inquilence, evil sounds in the ears, timidy, palpitation of the heart, sparks before the eyes, irregularities, constipation, variable appetite, weakness and inquilence, women who are approaching the period of life when woman's great change may be expected. We believe Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the world's greatest remedy for women at this trying period. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound invigorates and strengthens the female organism, and builds up the weakened nervous system as no other medicine can. Mrs. A. E. G. Hyland, of Chestertown, Md., in a letter to Mrs. Pinkham, says: Dear Mrs. Pinkham— “I had been suffering with a displacement for years and was passing through the change of life. I had a good deal of soreness, dizzy spells, headaches, and was very nervous. I wrote you for advice and commenced treatment with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound as you directed, and I am happy to say that all those distressing symptoms let me, and I have passed safely through the change of life a well woman.” For special advice regarding this important period women are invited to write to Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Miss She is daughter-in-law of Lydia E.
