Tons of Meat Made Into Extract.
The history of the extract of beef
serves to illustrate the progress of
the packing industry during its rapid
evolution from the old-fashioned
slaughter house to the wonderful
plants of today, where every depart
! ment is conducted under the most adj
vanced scientific methods. Realizing
that South American and Australian
| extracts, which are made from wild
cattle usually killed for their hides
and bones, cannot possibly possess the
| delicious flavor of those made from
the carefully fattened domestic cattle
| of the United States, the Chicago
packers have endeavored to preserve
! the true flavor in a concentrated form.
/ Tons of fresh meat are used daily for
this purpose After the extract has
been taken from the meat the fiber is
dried, ground or powdered and sold
largely in foreign markets, where it is
used in various forms of food, prin
cipally for animals. The liquor cooked
from the meat is concentrated in
vacuum pans to either solid or fluid
consistency, as may lie desired. 1t is

Fighting Bob's" Name.

Most persons have an idea that Rear
Admiral Robley d. Evans acquired his
nickname of Fighting Bob" from
some gallant service in the navy. A
naval officer who was a cadet at An
napolis when Evans became cadet
tells this story of how he came to be
thus chrstened: Along in 1859 and
1860 there was saloonkeeper named
Robert d. Evans, who continually got
drunk. Every time this happened, and
it was several times a week, five or
six policemen had to be called to carry
the drunken chap to Jail, and he was
dubbed Fighting Bob. So the minute
a cadet appeared bearing the name Of
r. d. Evans, the nickname was applied
to him. Brother officers of the rear ad-
miral say that he got the iuckiest nick
name on record"
