Cannot Freshen Canned Meat.


As to the charge that canned meats
were boiled in water "to freshen them
up" Mr.. Wilson said there was abso-
lutely nothing in this. Canned meat,
he said, was as good FIVE years after
it had been put up as it was five min
utes afterwards, providing no air had
got to it. If air had reached the meat
il would be spoiled beyond being fresh.

hot water for was to soak of the old

the appearance of the goods on sale.
He denied absolutely that there were
any diseased cattle or hogs butehered
for food. For in every carload of eat
tie or sogs, he said. some were likely
to be dead and some diseased. The dead
or diseased hogs and cattle were sent
to the Standard Slaughtering Com
pany although the two were likely to
be confused in the mind. The render.
ing company turned the dead and dis
eased meat into grease. which was a
oo-pHoduet of the manufacture Of
soap.

THERE WITH The GOODS.

The performance at Red Mems hall
last evening by the Lady .Minstrels
was fully up to expectations, and ex-
pectations in this connection always
run high The simple announcement
that this aggregation will entertain
means a rush for seats and last even
ing Red Mems hall catered to the
largest audience in its history, fully
five hundred people being present.
Starting promptly at $3.50 was com
mendabe, the audience being ripe for
the fun ahead.
When the curtain rose there was
craning of necks and world of
whispering to ascertain "who was
who,' and the make-ups were so good
that the performance was well ad
vanced before many had figured out
the real participants. Mrs. Egan, as
Mrs. Dockstader, inteIlocutor, was
stately and carried her Part with ease
and grace, while the lend men," Mrs
w. C. Chapman and Mrs. j. NJ. Char
trand, kept the audience in a roar by
handing out some "hot stuff" in way

And then the audience had to have
something to laugh at.
The program as published last
evening was carried out in full, the
different members of the company en-
tertaining with cute negro songs, each
one adding new laurels. There was
one new star. however. deserving of
special mention, Miss Marian Har-

well cultivated voice, During the

CIRCUS CAR AND HORSE
GIVE WAY TO THE AUTO

NEW YORK Nov. 14.-Barnum &
Bailey's "Geratest Show on Earth
has sounded the doom OF the pictur-
esque six, eight and ten horse circus
driver and of the gorgeously capari-
soned and plumed steed of the pa
rade. The organization will tour the
country in mammoth automobiles, be-
ginning next year, 1t was announced
by "Tody" Hamilton this afternoon
With the news of this radical depart
ure from all custom and tradition
came information of the dissolution
of the so-called circus trust and the
resumption of the old-time hostility.
For many years the expense of rail
road transportation has been a source
of growing alarm to the circus pro-
prietor. Railroads do not want the
job of hauling the big three-section
organization. The work delays pas
senger traffic and the danger of acci-
dent involving tremendous damages is
great.
Mr.. Bailey appreciated the urgency
of overcoming this condition long be-
fore his death last spring, and had
settled upon the automobile as the
solution. Before the electric and gas
oline mode OF transportation had
reached its present high state of ef-
ficiency he had once nearly decided
to return to the wagon show" days,
when horses furnished the motive
power, but the modern necessity of
long Jumps forced him to abandon
the plan. His show took to the road
from Madison Square Garden last
April with several experimental auto
mobiles. These have demonstrated
their practicability SO conclusively
that next year will see the canvas
enterprise moved from town to town
by chauffeur and battery.

WHAT FREIGHT CARS ARE DOING

The freight car, or rather the short
age in freight cars, has been the sub
ject of unlimited complaint by grain
shippers, livestock men ard Wholesale
merchants in recent weeks. Shee p
men in Montana have sometimes had
to hold their sheep for four weeks or
more at railroad stations. unable to
bring them east for feeding or sale.
Lumber men through the Northwest
have made similar complaints. And
there has been hardly freight center
in the country at which the cry for
cars has not been heard. And the
worst of 1t is that most of these de-
lays mean serious losses to the ship
pers who cannot move their wares
Meantime there Is another side 20
the situation. Under the great pres
sure of the traffic the freight car is
doing mere work, it is believed, than
II ever did before. One railroad has
made an investigation which shoy. S
that its cars are moving faster By
several miles day than ever before.
The average number Of cars to a trPIn
and the average trainload have be n
increased Cars q, not rtay in yards
80 long as usually. Ooe road reports
that whereas 1t usually has about p
600 cars In its yards. the average re-
Gently has been between $50 and 500.
In such facts as these there is pro5f
not only OF the sreat prosperity of the
country. which apparently is continr-
ing steadily to increase, but slso of
the justification for the railroad ex-
tensions and improvements which are
planred on so great scale. 1t is no
easy problem for the rsirlod manager
to decide Just to what extent to in
crease his car equipment Probably

for all the needs time might come
