General Pobdielski In connection

cago meat packing sensation, during
the course of which he was quoted as
saying:
What was taking place at Chicago
was well known in the United States.
One can only be filled with horror by
the information. cannot express
publicly what know and can only
seek to protect our population.
DAILY in Chicago 10000 cattle are
slaughtered and numerous other ami
mails are brought to the slaughter
houses already dead.
"Only three veterinaries are as
signed to 10000 hogs daily. What can
they see? With us, one veterinarian
or inspector does not investigate
more than twenty animals.
mot long ago, large steamer ar
rived at Emden, loaded with meat, all
of which had to be thrown overheard.
Many of the animals were sick or dead
before they were slaughtered. a..
Efforts have also been made In
Denmark to send bad meat into Ger,
many and similar meat has been
brought here from Russia. It is estab-
lished that ship load of animals
brought from Russia to Stettin were
suffering from Siberian plague. A

Houses Should be Closely Watched.
Washington.-Pres Roosevelt
has added another chapter to the lit
erature of the meat inspection contro.
yersy. 1t was not through any desire
of his that the correspondence be-
tween himself and Representative
.Wadsworth, chairman of the commit
tee on agriculture, was published in
its entirety. Inasmuch, however, as
Chairman Wadsworth deemed it de-
sirable that the letters should be pub
lished and gave them to the public,
the president regards it as proper to
complete the correspondence thus far
exchanged by the publication of his
reply to Mr.. Wadsworth's letter.,
In his reply the president, while ad-
hitting his error in stating that the
house substitute contained no provi-
sion for the making Of inspections OF
packing houses at all hours of the
day or night, says the substitute still
Is inadequate to meet the require
ments of the situation. The president
says that after conference with Rep.
resentative Adams Of Wisconsin,, a
member of the agricultural commit
tee, he Is convinced Mr.. Adams will
accept the suggestion made to him
regarding the bill. He says that Mr..
Adams in each case Stated that he
personally would accept the alterations
These changes include the
of the court review pro-
posed and dozen other alterations.
In the opinion of the president, the
suggested changes would make the
house committee substitute las good
as the Beveridge amendment" The
president adds that he Is not con-
cerned about the language of the
but with the accomplish.
ment of the object in view, a thor
ough and rigid and not sham in.

banks and shipping firms against the
Japanese administration in Manchuria.
The Japanese occupation under the
Portsmouth treaty continues until

eign commerce is almost blocked, the
Japanese merchants gaining advan-
tages which make it increasingly diff

 In some states laws compel employers to provide resting places for their fe- male employees.
 But no amount of law can regulate the hard tasks of these women. They must get the strength which this work demands or run the risk of serious diseases and the surgeons knife.
 Read the experience of Miss Margret Merkley, 275 Sd Street, Milwaukee, Wis:
 Dear Mrs Pinkhara:-
 Gradual loss of strength, nervousness, bearing-down pains and extreme irritation compelled me to seek medical advice. The doctor said had diseased organs and ulcer atiOn, and advised an operation if l wanted to get well l objected to this and decided to give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound trial soon found that all the good things said about this great medicine were true. The alteration soon healed, backache, headache and nervousness disappeared. and in 9 short time l was strong, vigorous and perfectly well. I wish every working girl who suffers would try Lydia E.

 Lydia B. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound is a vegetable tonic which invig- crates and strengthens the entire fe- male organism, and will produce the same beneficial results in the cases of ether sick women as with Miss Merkley.
