The meat trust, after having foisted on the government the cost of inspect ing meat products, is back to its old trick of reducing the price of live stock and increasing the price of meat. The pro- ducer is getting less for cattle and hogs and the consumer is required to pay more. The difference represents the profits of the meat trust which regulates the price paid to the live stock men as well as the price which the consumers must pay for meat products. This shows that the regulation of the meat trust, about which so much has been said of late, fails to regulate. The action of this particular trust in displaying its power in two important directions may result in more drastic legislation later on.

Pepsikola Tablets of Priceless Value
 in Relieving Indigestion.

Health is everything. Many mil honaire would willingly part with half his fortune for perfect digestion. Riches, fame, and the realization of every desire cannot create contentment if indigestion is making ones existence miserable. When w. H. Camp tells you that in all his experience he never knew anything so sure to relieve sour stomach, coated tongue, dizzy spells, poor appetite, lassi- tude and fatigue due to imperfect diges- tion, there must be some good reason for his confidence, and there is. Dozens of chronic old dyspeptics right here in Canaan who despaired of ever getting relief have tried Pepsikola Tablets on MT. Camps recommend and to-day are completely cured. Moreover, a druggist could not afford to keep on recommend ing an indigestion remedy unless it really will cure, for you would mighty soon lose confidence and trade at some other store. Pepsikola Tablets are a grand nerve tonic; they will give you new energy and new ambition, improve your appetite, strengthen your digestive or- gans, and unless they give you perfect digestion MT. Camp will gladly pay your quarter back.
