1.-The Simple Life"
Proper Food is Really the
First Stepin Right Living

One of the evils of Our complex
modern way OF living, is our un-
natural and unhealthy foods.
To have really good health and
a good stomach it is necessary to
eat simple nourishing food. Egg
O=See is the ideal food, and reach
es the proper requirements in this
direction more nearly than any other
cereal now on the market.
To make Egg O=See the ker.-
nels OF the choicest California white
wheat are first cleansed by brushes,
then thoroughly steam cooked, then
faxed and crisped to maple tint
and delicately favored with natural
fruit juice and pure grain sugar.
In these delicious fakes, lies the
mighty strengthening power of the
whole wheat grain that evenly nour-
ishes every part OF the body, and
gives physical and mental energy
that means splendid health and sue

Profits of the Packers.

There has been great deal of dis

about two per cent on the volume of
business transacted. There is no
doubt, however, that the report is cor
rect
The census reports compiled by the
government in 1900, before the agita-
ton regarding the beef trust began,
throw considerable light on this ques-
dOn 1t appears from the census that
the packing industry is conducted on
Il smaller margin of gross profit than
any other industry in America. The
gross margin of profit of 81 flour and
grist mills in Illinois, in the census
year, was nearly seven per cent on the
volume of business. The gross margin
of fifty-one wholesale slaughtering and
meat packing establishments in 1lli-
nOis was only about one-third as large,
or little more than two per cent on
ihe volume of business.

of being III trust" and combina-
tions would seem impossible in bust

mills in the United States competing
actively for the flour trade, but it ap-

That Rheumatism can be cured has

That Mrs. Clawson had Rheumatism

cured. Dodd's Kidney Pills did it.
Mrs. Clawson tells the story Of her cure
as follows:
Il was an invalid for most five years
caused by Inflammatory rheumatism,
helpless twO-thirds of the time. The
first year l could not do as much as a
baby could do: then rallied little bit
and then relapse. Then year ago
tie gout set in my hands and feet. l
