A MEAT FAMINE
DECIDED UPON
President Donnelly of the Butcher
Workmen Plays the Joker.
MUST ALL QUIT EATING MEAT
He Has Dccreed That No Meat Must
BE ndled by Union Workers
After Saturday Evening,
September 3.

Chicago, Sept. ga meat famine
will be forced at all costs" 1t Is the
best weapon with which to fight the
trust packers, although it may not be
welcomed by the Independents"
In these words President D~onnelly,
of the Butchers national organization,
declared a boycott against al meat,
and announced hat union men will
quit in all packing establishments, re-
CARELESS of where live stock is Sc
cured. Donnelly's announcement was
made at the conclusion of a meeting
of the allied trades conference board.
The executive board of the retail
meat dealers association Of Chicago
had just been in conference with Mr..
Donnelly and his associates, having
come to ask certain concessions for
the independent packers and to seek
authority to attempt to bring about a
meeting between the packers and rep
resentativeS of the strikers.
By ignoring these latest attempts at
peace and by adopting such an aggres-
siye step the strike leaders demon
strated their intention to make it a
fight to a finish.
The following statement was given
out by President Donnelly:
The conference board, representing
all organizations involved in the pres
ent packing-house strike, has taken
action to place all meats upon the
unfair list. This order goes into effect
on Saturday evening. September 3, at
$50 D. m. The order will be sent to
every packing house in the country,
ana no member of the Meat Cutters
and Butcher Workmen union will be
allowed 10 dress any animal until the
strike is settled. This action Is the
result OF the request that the public
refuse to eat meat, and no person, no
mater in what capacity employed in
handling meat. must handle the same
after $50 D.. n. on Saturday. The
packers have resOrted to eXtortion as
the result of the strike, buying live
stock on the hoof for almost nothing
and charging almost any price for the
dressed product. The public will now
be given an opportunity to retaliate by
refusing to eat meat until such time as
they can procure the same at a fair
market price"

JUDGE PARKER NOT COMING
Changes His Mind About His Trip
to st. Louis.
Says That In All Probability He VIII
Not Leave ROsemOunt Dur
In the Campaign.

Esopus, N. Y, Sept. 3.--There was
considerable surprise at Rosemount,
Friday evening, when a correction was
made of a statement issued in the
morning to the effect that Alton B.
Parker and his wife had completed
their arrangements for a st. Louis trip.
It is now announced that Parker has
changed mis- mind in regard to the
trip, and in all probability will not
leave Rosemount again during the
compaign. 1t is understood that good
reasons were presented to Parker In
argument against the proposed trip,
and that the abandonment of the pro-
gramme is the result. So far as is now
intended, Parker will make no
speeches during the campaign.
William E. Ryan, of the Devery as
ISOLATION in New York, and Capt.
Charles Campbell, a retired sea captain
of New York, called at Rosemount,
Friday, ostensibly to ask Judge Parker
to make clear in his letter of accept
ance the plank in the democratic plat
form in relation to marine commerce.
Capt. Campbell said that ship-owners
are not in favor of a subsidy bill, but
that they do want protection against
unfair competition with foreign bot
toms. After talking shipping at
length, they brought up the subject of
the governorship nomination for New
York state, and suggested that Con-
gresham William Sulzer is best
equipped to save the party from the
inroads made by the popularity OF
Thomas E. Watson, the populist can
didate for president.

BUILDING FOOD
To Bring the Babies Around.

When a little human machine Tor "a
large one) goes wrong, nothing is SO
important as the selection of food
which will always bring it around
again.
my little baby boy fifteen months
old had pneumonia, then came brain
fever, and no sooner had he got over
these than he began to cut teeth and,
being so weak, he was frequently
thrown into commissions" says q
Colorado mother.
Il decided a change might help, SO
took him to Kansas City for a visit.
When we got there he was so very
weak when he would cry he would
sink away and seemed like he would
die.
When l reached my sisters home
she said Immediately that we must
feed him Grape-Nuts and, although /
had never used the food, We got some
and for a few days gave him just the
juice of Grape-Nuts and milk. He got
stronger SO quickly we were soon
feeding him the Grape-Nuts itself and
in a wonderfully short time he fat
tened right up and became strong and
well.
THAT showed me something worth
knowing and, when later on my girl
came, l raised her on Grape-Nuts and
she is a strong, healthy baby and has
been. You will see from the little
photograph / send you what a strong,
chubby youngster the boy is now. but
he didn't look anything like that be-
fore we found this nourishing food.
