Profits Of the Packers.

There has been a great deal o. dis
appointment because the Garfield re-
port shows that the profits of the
packing industry only amount to
about two per cent of 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-
ton. 1t appears from The census that
the packing industry is conducted on
smaller margin Of gross profit than
any other industry in America. The
gross margin of profit of 81 -four and
grist mills in Illinois, in the census
year, was nearly seven per cent on
the volume of business. The gross
margin of fifty wholesale slaugh-
tering and meat packing establish
ments in Illinois was only about one
third as large, or a little more than
two per cent on the volume of bust
ness.
The millers have not been accused
of being in trust and combina-
tons would seem impossible in a bust
ness where there are several thousand
mills in the United States competing
actively for the -four trade, but it ap-
pears that the gross profits of the mill
ers are larger than the gre profits
of the packers. 1t may turn out that
the agitation regarding the packing
industry will show the same result as

Over one hundred Thousand cases OF
female diseases come before Mrs. Pink
ham every year, some personally,
Others by mail, and this has been 60
ing on for twenty years, day after day.
Surely women are wise in seeking
advice from a woman of such expert
ence, especially when it is absolutely
free.
Mrs. Pinkham never violates the con-
fidence of women. and every testimo-
NAL letter published is done so with
the written consent or request Of the
writer, in order that other sick women
may be benefited as they have been.
Mrs. Fred Seydel of 4l2 North saith

Dear Mrs. Pmkham:-
"Over a year ago wrote you letter asking
advice. as had female ills and could not
carry a child to maturity. | received your
kind letter of instructions and followed your
advice. am not only well woman in con-
sequence, but have beautiful baby girl.
wish every suffering woman in the land would
write you for advice, as you have done SO
much for me.
just as surely as Mrs. Seyael was
cured, will Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound cure every
woman suffering from any form Of
female ills.
No other medicine in ali the world
has such a record Of cures of female
troubles as has Lydia E. pinkham' S
Vegetable Compound. Therefore no
prudent woman will accept any sut,sti-
tute which druggist may offer.
If you are sick write Mrs. Pinkham.
