malicious SANDERS afoat about the management Of
, the soup house. One is that the superintendent
skins all the grease that rises OF the soup, and sells
il Tor his own benefit. Another that most Of the
soup is sold people for their hogs. Another that
the very poor the only people who can't get the
soup. We convinced that these all vile Stag
ders. People will talk, and it can't be heped.4-
That the soup is not skinned know from pet
