Is thus touched upon by Health Com.
missioner Whalen, Of Chicago, In his
annual report:
"Cold storage IL one Of our present
necessities, but It II evident that It

stored In an undrawn condition and ID

small ana honest corporations whicl
are obliged to make affidavit once
year and send the same with one dol
lar to Springfield to prove that the.

A Trust has no more standing Il
