PACKERS MAKE REPLY.
Deny Charges Made in the Report
Sent TO Congress-.

Chicago's leading packers were quick
to make reply to the charges ~ Presi-
dent Roosevelt's message to Congress,
and 70 the report of his commissioners
on the conditions they have found at
the stockyards. The message and re-
lort had no sooner become public than
a conference wss called in the Offices
IF the National Packing Company, at
which representatives uf eight leading
packing concerns assembled to prepare
an answering statement for the public
Accompanying the statement sent out
at the conclusion Of the conference was
a report by two experts in reply to the
detailed allegations of the Neill-Rey-
nolds report. This report has been
made to the packers by Professor T. ].
Burrill, vice president of the University
Of Illinois and professor of bacteriolo-
gy there, and Professor 81. S. Grindley,
professor of chemistry in the same uni
versity. Their investigation Of condi-
tons at the stockyards lasted two days,
and, according to the packers, was
made at the initiative of the university
men shortly after the government ex-
perts had finished their work.
In their statement the packers ac-
cuse President Roosevelt of absolutely
ignoring in his message the question
whether diseased meats are sold from
the packing houses. The same question,
the packers declare, is all but omitted
from the Neill-Reynolds report. With
this complaint the packers express
themselves in favor of a more efficient
inspection at the slaughtering houses,
and of an extension of the laws to
cover the sanitary conditions. While
insisting that their methods are good,
the packers profess their readiness to
adopt any practical suggestions in the
line of improvements.
A general denial is made of the
charges of uncleanliness and insanitary
conditions. 1t is declared that the
packing houses are kept clean, that the
methods of manufacture are sanitary,
that the products are wholesome and
that there never has been any secret
about the methods of manufacture. Fol-
towing is from the packers statement:
Every pound of meat in our packing
houses comes from animals which are
inspected and passed by trained veteri-
nary agents of the Department of Agri-
culture. This is the absolute fact. We
are not interested in animals condemned
before slaughter. We do not buy them.
Every animal bought by us is inspected
both before and after slaughter, in ac-
cordance with the strictest inspection reg
ulations ever devised in any country, not
even excepting Germany Every animal
or carcass that does not pass this rigid
inspection is condemned and disposed of
under the personal supervision of the
agents of the United States Department
of Agriculture.

On, Hush-a-bye Land is beautiful place
For sleepy small people to go,
And the Rock-a-bye Route is the favorite
one
With a certain wee Iaddie 1 know.
The track lies on sleepers of feathers
and down,
No accidents ever take place;
Though there's only one track, and
there's only one train,
Eut it runs at a wonderful pace.
There are beautiful things to be seen on
this route,
If you're good you may take just a
peep;
But strange as it seems, they are seen
best in dreams;
Be sure that you soon go to sleep.
Say goodnight to the Sun, for he's off
to bed, too
He can't hear you, so just wave your
hand;
The Moon and the Stars they will light
up the cars
AS you travel to Hush-a-bye Land.
So, quick, jump aboard, it is time to be

You have nothing to pay, you young

Just think of the luxury, laddie, you'll
have

A REMARKABLE CURE.
Philadelphia Woman, with Broken
Spinal Cord, Recovering.


The question whether the spinal cord,
once severed, can be regenerated, seems
to have been solved by young physician
of Philadelphia. Five years ago Mrs.
Clara Nichols was shot in the back. A
diagnosis at the time resulted in the an
nouncement that the spinal cord had been
severed by the bullet.
A young physician, then just out of
college, decided to test his theory that the
severing of the spinal cord is not neces-
sarily fatal. He sutured the broken cord.
and with three stitches united the severed
parts. For three or four months the pa
tient lay on her back in the hospital and
death was daily awaited. Her body below
where the SHOT had entered had become
completely paralyzed She did not expe-
rience any sensation when taking food or
water. The doctor, however, insisted that
in time his patient would regain sensa-
ton, and that in the course of years she
would recover full motor power.
For two years she was kept in the hos
pital, where daily massage was given her,
and where little by little her powers of
sensation began to return. At first she
could not tell when she was touched. But
this year for the first time she was able
to distinguish, when blindfolded, the To-
cality of the sensation. Within the last
month she has walked with the aiG of her
crutches about the little parlor of her
home. The doctor assures her that she will
eventually be able to discard The crutches
and walk as she did years ago,
