The Beef Trust will be investigated
by the next Legislature.
And what u showing up there will
be!
The investigation OF the insurance
companies by the New York Iegisla-

Chicago's muiti-millionaires grown
rich selling disease and poison TO the
people will get their Just dues then.
The Chicago Newspaper Trust can.
not save them.

sale OF animals afflicted with cancer
and tuberculosis is stopped entirely.
