Merchandise and furniture is not
taken into consideration in the
salvage report on account of diff
Guilty in securing data of same, but
it amounts to great deal, as in
the Central block alone, the stock
and furniture salvage was over
$25,ooo.oO. This would have
been largely increased if the de-
partment had been properly equip
ed with a hook and ladder truck
that is now being built for the city.
The department has been very
successful in the past year, in the
handling of fires, and while the
property loss is high during the
year the salvage is equally as high.
Three of the fires reported were
outside the corporate limits, one of
which we we're able to handle with
the chemical apparatus, with loss
of only $e5.75.
would suggest that the fire
plugs be placed at the following
places: First Street on alley be-
ween Taylor and fillmore Street.
Ninth Street between Tyler and
Harrison on alley, and one on
Third Street and P. V. right of
way.
would also suggest that the
city pass an ordinance compelling
all persons moving houses. digging
bitches or obstructing the streets
in any way, or manner to rotify
the driver at the Central Station,
of the location of such obstruction
by 6 p. m. Several times the lex
has been delayed by these obstruc
tons.
would also recommend that the
property on Cd, Sd, 4th streets and
fronting the sight Of the A. T. g.
Santa Fe depot be placed in the
fire limit thus avoiding the fire
traps we have located adjacent TO
the Fl. W. g. D. G. depot.

Judge Beer By
Its True Worth
Progressive Men and Women Consider
TIA Means to National Temperance,

We have recently published a mum.
Der of articles on the FOOD Value OF
beer, and we believe that sooner OF
later beer will be recognized at It's true
worth, as q food beverage or splenulu
tonic effect and high nourishing value.
Noted men and women of this country
are already alive to the situation ana
besides Miss Phoebe Cousins ana Dr.
Joseph Feisler of Northwestern UNI
Versity, many others OF note give their
endorsement to beer as means 10 ha
tional temperance.
Miss Cousins, for quarter or cen
fury the most eminent woman SUI
frage advocate in the West, SAID IN q
recent interview: '"There never VIII pc
law that will compel prohibition, ana
the sensible thing for the women 3
Christian Temperance Union to DO IL
to aid in the substitution or mll1'
nourishing drinks like beer, which sell
dom produces drunkenness. A promi-
nent army officer who served In the
Southwest, operated canteens at three
different posts. He made the canteens
so acceptable to the soldiers, VINO
found beer satisfying their demands,
that he actually ran all the low owes ives
OF the surrounding neighborhood out
OF business"
Pabst Beer meets all the demands
for a mild, healthful, refreshing bever-
| age such as Miss Cousins suggests. III
| is made Of the exclusive Pabst eight
water. Eight-day malt. which is the
only perfect malt, gives Pabst Beer
its superior food value and richness.
Strong in nourishment the body re-
quires 1t is refreshing and satisfying
Perfect in age, purity and strength,
absolutely clean and containing only
three and one-half per cent OF alcohol
Pabst Beer is the ideal temperance
beverage. No other is so healthful.

Democratic National Committee Con.
yentiOn at New Orleans.

New Orleans, Scpt.-Governor
Blanchard, democratic national
committeeman from Louisiana, is
sanguine that the next convention
of the committee may be held in
New Orleans. At a meeting of the
committee in New York just prior
to the Bryan reception he read to
his associates a telegram from Pre-
ident Albert Godchaux of the New
Orleans Progressive Union inviting
the committee to meet here in 1908
to nominate the Democratic candi-
date for president. This was the
first city to make formal offer to
secure the convention though sever
al have since followed. Mr.. Bry-
ans daughter lives here, and as he
may be the nominee despite his
tentative proposal government own
ership of trunk railroads, unusual
efforts are being made to have New
Orleans named for the Convention.
1t is pointed out that the metropo-
lis of the South, the gateway to
Panama and eventually to the Ori-
ent, is entitled to special considera-
ton, particularly as it's many years
experience in handling immense
carnival crowds, naturally fits the
city for easily taking care of tens of
thousands of visitors.

Obituary..

Departed this life on the twenty
seventh day of August, 1906, in the
y-ffth year of her age, sister
Martha F. Jeter. She has been a
consistent member of Beulah
church since it's organization, being
one OF the nineteen members bear
ing letters from Fair View to or
ganize Beulah church. She was
always ready to contribute to mis-
sions, PASTORS salary and expenses
OF the church. In her last days,
while she was not able to attend
the services of the church, she
would never forget to send her
contribution.
Resolved therefore,
/. That while we yield submis-
sively to the will of our Heavenly
Father, Beulah church has lost one
of her best and most liberal mem
bers.
2. That we extend to the
bereaved family our heartfelt SYM
pathy.
3. That copy of these resolu-

Mr.. Will Sartor is launching out in
the business. And Saturday a fine
Il h. p. engine was set off here for
MIR. J. G. Mobley, from over Tiger
river.
Toss up you hats, boys: we are
to have some new bagging. ! saw
it unloaded last week. We have
not been able to get any the past
few years, only old dclapidatcd
stuff. The. people had to patch and
scrlmage, and then, often, it would
not cover the cotton, and the whole
bale would nearly fall through,
making bad appearance. That
old stuff, | guess, has rotted SO
badly that it has disintegrated. l
guess, though, that the sellers could
make good thing out of that bag
ging, even of the 3rd and 4th gen
Grafton. But why won't the South
ern farmers all be of one mind and
use cotton covering, letting jute go
for something else, thereby increas-
ing the demand for their staple.
That cool spell in August was so
delayed this year, or run out by the
heat, that it never reached here un-
til last week, September. The
weather was SO pleasant, barring
the two days of cloudy threatening
weather, that one felt like get
ting move on himself.n

that she was taking more notice Of

KNITTED


An old soldier, released from coffee
at ~, recovered his health and tells
about it as follows:
Il stuck to coffee for years, although
it knitted me again and again.
about eight years ago las a result
of coffee drinking which congested my
liver), l was taken with a very severe
attack of malarial fever.
Il would apparently recover and
start about my usual work only to suf-
fer a relapse. After this had been re-
peated several times during the year l
was again taken violently i'll.
1.-The doctor said he had carefully
studied my case and it was either quit
coffee or die advising me to take
Postum in its place. l had always
thought coffee one of my dearest
friends, and especially when sick, and
l was very much taken back by the
doctors decision for l hadn't suspected
the coffee l drank could possibly cause
my troubles.
81 thought it over for a few minutes
and finally told the doctor 1 would
make the change. Postum was pro-
cured for me the same day and made
according to directions; well, l liked it
and stuck to it and since then l have
been a new man. The change in health
began in a few days and surprised me,
and now, although l am seventy-two
years of age, 1 do lots of hard work
and for the past month have been
teaming, driving sixteen miles a day,
besides loading and unloading the
wagon. That's what Postum in the
place of coffee has done for me. l now
like the Postum as well as / did coffee.
Il have known people who did not
carr for Postum at first, but after hav-
ing learned to make it properly accord
ing to directions, they have come to like
1t as well as coffee. | never miss a

Salient Features of the Reynolds-Neill
Report on Chicago Stock Yards.

What They Found: No ventilation in
buildings. Atmosphere heavy with
odors Of rotten wood, decayed meats,
offal and entrails.
Toilet conveniences, entirely filthy,
placed in the rooms where the work
is done. No provision made for work
men to wash their hands.
Meat intended for food products
thrown upon filthy floors covered with
dirt, splinters and the eXpectoration
of tuberculous and other diseased
workers.
Aprons worn by the workers indie
scribably filthy, and meat, in cutting
process, held against these aprons.
No compulsory Government inspec-
ton after killing; meat used for sau-
sages and canned products goes
through many processes, from which
contamination might result. OF these
there is no inspection.
The use of labels Quality Guaran-
teed' on cans is wholly unwarranted,.
for the Government knows nothing Of
their contents.
In the treatment of employees even
the ordinary decencies of life are com
pletely ignored. Toilet rooms open di-
rectely into workroom. There are few
restrooms, and these few are often
inadequately p%artitioned off from the
toilet rooms.
An awful moral degradation on the
part of thousands of workers as a di-
rect result of these conditions.
What They Recommend: Govern
ment examination after slaughter
should be made compulsory instead of
permissive. 1t is of supreme import
ance.
The examination of all meat prod
ucts intended for interstate commerce
at any stage of their cart or treatment
should be consigned to the Bureau Of
Animal Industry, and no mark or sign
declaring that inspection has been
made by Government officials should
be allowed on any receptacle contain
ing food products unless the same has
been subject to Government inspection
at any and every stage of the process
preparation, and all such labels
should contain the date of issuance.
Meat products, and canned, preserved
or picked meats, when sent from any
packing or canning establishment. if
returned to the same, should be sub
ject to such further inspection, regula-
ton and isolation from other meat
products.
Special Government inspection should
be carried on continuously to prevent
violations of the law and general
abuses in the trade, and to secure evil
dence when necessary.
Consideration should be given to the
question of specific labelling of all car
casses sold as fresh meat, which upon
examination after slaughter, show
signs Of disease. but are still deemed
suitable for food.

Sebring's detection.
George Stone, of st. Louis, has been

Both Lajoie and Wagner have fallen
off in batting this season. Who will be
the new king of swat?
Walsh, of Chicago, is the only pitcher
who has ever held Cleveland down to
one hit in a nine-inning game.
The Cleveland boys are not as sure
of that bunting as they were during
the practice trip in the South.
Five Chicago Nationals are hitting

wonders and so add to the family in

vantage, one must know how to care
for his fowls-to guard against, de-
tect and cure disease; which fowls to

simplest and most satisfactory way of
securing this knowledge is to buy it
from some person who has made a
