Should be abolished. The result OF

the power OF the packers trust. They
would have TO sell out at cost the
slaughter houses fit for the killing of
food animals. and destroy those that
are unfit That Is the only solution OF
the problem, which is now recognized

OF this country, and the only way that

depot OF reception and distribution In
Chicago.
THE packers know that their very
life depends upon the approval OF
foreign nations. and they know that
the stamp OF governmental approval
abroad is regarded as the hall mark
OF excellence. They know that the
millions in Europe understand official
Endorsement to be an absolute and

interview with Author of the Now
Famous "JunGle Gle'-ExpOSe OF Meat
Packinp Methods.

Upton Sinclair, the author of the
Jungle" which has in reality started
the entire packing house scandal, is an
advocate of municipal slaughter
houses. He believes that this is the
only effective solution of the problem,
although he says tina: the Beveridge
amendment is good SO far as it goes.
Interviewed recently, he said, 'There
is no doubt that this amendment will
become law; but few months
after its enactment it will be forgotten
and former conditions will be resumed.
! say former conditions, because the
Chicago packers have cleaned up
house and are now able to make u
show of virtue which they never pos
scssed but it is impossible for them
to conceal the fact thai .ey have sent
out millions of cans Of 'potted chicken
made of bob, or day-old veal. millions
OF cans of roast beef made of COW
udders and gristle, and that all this
vast output has been treated with
chemicals to conceal putrefactiOn
and to preserve the stuff sold under Q

Channels Skin of Commerce.

Charles c. Druedling, of Philadel-
phia, has written an article for the
American Journal of Pharmacy on the
subject of channels skins. What is
known in the market as chamois skins,
he says, is really an obtained sheep
or lamb skin lining. The supply OF
skins from the chamois animal is very
limited-enough could not be obtained
in a year to supply the United States
for more than a single day. He made
special inquiry on a recent visit to
Switzerland about the annual crop of
the chamois skin and ascertained that
from 5000 to 5000 skins would be a
fair average yearly crop. This skin is
heavier than the skin Of the sheep or
lamb, also much coarser. For strength
and durability the channels skin is pre-
ferable, but for ordinary S and ap-
pearance the obtained sheep skin
lining would, in most instances, be
preferred.

was marked by the thoroughness and
attention to detail characteristic of the

The ~dedicatory program included
open house from IL a. m. to 8 D. m.
with concert by the Mace Gay orches-
ira and the presence Of a Boston
caterer to attend to the wishes of all.
The building itself afforded a feast
for the eye, especially the offices,
which are marvels in many ways.
Fifteen thousand invitations we're sent
out, including over II, 900 to the re-
tail dealers in the United States who
handle the w. l.. Douglas Co. shoes,
the others going to shoe manufacture
ers and all allied Industries in Brock
ton and vicinity. Mr.. Douglas will be
glad to have anybody who is interest
ed call and inspect the new plant, and
says the latch string is always out"
All departments Of the plant were
open for inspection, the three factories
as well as the new building, and WIS.,

The new building is 26O feet long
and 60 feet wide and two stories in

occupy the entire lower floor, while the
offices will occupy the second floor.
The jobbing department will carry a
complete stock of mems, boys, youths,
misses and children's shoes, slippers,
rubbers and findings equal to any job
bling house in the country. Buyers are
especially invited to come here to
trade, and every effort possible will be
made to suit their convenience. There
will be a finely appointed sample room
on the second floor, with an office in
which both telephone and telegraph

Western Union and Postal Telegraph
wires to be used. There will also be
arrangements for the receipt and des.

rHiEvIEe SQUIRREL DRIVEN OFF
Robins Successfully Defend Nest
Against Marauder.

A pair of robins proved too much
for a marauding squirrel in Independ-
ence square yesterday. While on a
midair cruise he suddenly stopped as
though something special had attract
ed his attention, and then he came
down the tree in a slow, unconcerned
manner. The secret was out when
he shyly began the ascent of another
oak, in the branches of which a pair
OF the redbreasts had built their nest.
His little eyes g~listening and his
whole ann that of a thief, he
moved up the tree trunk, and had al
most reached the little blue e g in
the nest when the mother bird and
her mate saw him and flew down from
their upper perch. They were on Mr..
Squirrel in an instant, and the fur
flew when their beaks got into action.
The retreat of the squirrel was quick
ly effected. The watchers were
amused. Then a second time the rob-
Der advanced, and was SO successful
as to get one of the eggs in his paws
before the birds came to the rescue.
The squirrel was n~onplussed, as he
couldn't back down with the egg with
the birds pecking him, and he was
loath to %relinquish his hard-won prize.
His hesitation "a fatal, though, as
the birds, with a concerted rush, fair
ly showed him out of the nest, and the
robins followed him 81 quickly and
furiously that the egg was dropped
and smashed on the ground. The
squirrel then gave up his purloining

For a long time I suffered with

and long graceful hands. She had
been taught to do embroidery and
other fine needle work. She excelled
In the piano playing of her day, which
was a less evere accomplishment
than now, and she was refined and re-

little depressing in her charm. A

mothers, epitomizes that girl as she
used to be.
Sister, thou vast mild and lovely,

early in life they were taught not to
run or jump, or do anything unfit for
a little lady, and as they grew older
they wore tight stays, abridging their
breathing power: they slept in un-
ventilated rooms, being afraid of the
night air, and if by any fatal chance
they came near a case of tuberculosis,
they fell victims to it along the line
Of least resistance.

style of feminine languor reached it's
height. Then, the athletic girl was
greatly in evidence. So far from car

wind-tanned complexion, of red hands
and arms, and of a sort of rude robust

daintiness to which every girl should
aspire. We have reached a saner day,

may live an outdoor life, have perfect
health and lose no jot of attractive.
