of the Bsef Trust In a demand fol
vengeance
These thousands were killed by tn,
"embalmed heef' Of the Beef Trus
and by the poIs0ns used In the MAKEUP
Of their Beef Trust rati0ns.
Neither the bullets of the Spaniard
or the terrors of the Cuban climat'
did any havoc to the American soldier
poor boy, at all comparable with thu
damage done by the frightful embalm
ell food OF the Beef Trust.
The young fellows who offered thei
lives to the American government, dit
not for moment imagine that TIN

But 1t did.
The soldiers trusted their countr!

constitutions for thousands.
These are facts which the war rec
