Whose Say-so is Best?

With nearly all medicines put up for
sale through druggists, one has to take
the makers say-so alone as to their cura-
tive value. or course, such testimony is
not that Of disnterested party and
accordingly is not TO be given the same
credit as If written from disinterested
motives. DIR. Pierce's medicines, how
ever, form a single and therefore striking
exception to this rule. Their claims to
the confidence of invalids does not rest
solely upon their makers say SO or
praise. Their ingredients are matters Of
public knowledge, being printed on each
separate bottle wrapper. Thus Invalid
sufferers are taken into DIR. Pierce's full
confidence. Scores of leading medical
men have written enough to fill volumes

w. A. GARDNER AGAIN PROMOTED
General Manager of the Northwestern
is Made a Vice-President.

Announcement has been made to-
day of the promotion of General Man
ager William A. Gardner of the Chi
cago & Northwestern railroad to be
a vice-president of the road. This is
another chapter in the steady rise of
Mr.. Gardner since he first entered the
servicce of that road in 1878 as a
telegrapher.
Other changes have been made
among the vice-presidents of the
road, who are now four in number,
and each has charge of certain de-
partment of the administration of the
roads affairs. According to the slate
posted they are as follows: Hiram r..
Mccullough, in charge of freight pas
senger traffic; William A. Gardner.
in charge of the operation and main
tenance of the railway of the COM
pany and of its proprietary railways;
Marshall NJ. Kirkman, in charge of
receipts and disbursements, and John
M. Whitman, in charge of location and
construction of new lines.
William A. Gardner was born in
Gardner, ILL.,, March s, 1859. Since
1878 he has held many positions with
the road, until Dec. /. 1900, when he
was appointed general manager. He
is director of the Western Trust
and Savings bank, a republican in
politics and a member of the Union
League, the Chicago Athletic, Evans
ton Country, Evanston, Glen View,
and Hamilton clubs.

Margin of Profit.

The industry is operated on mar
gin of less than 2 cents to each dol
lar Of sales. Swift C Co. do not sell
at retail. Their entire output is sold
at wholesale to many thousands of
dealers in various parts of the world.
There are hundreds of local slaughter
ers throughout the United States,
who buy their live stock in competi-
tion with the packer doing an inter-
state and International business. Like
wise the packer must sell in compe-
tition with the local slaughterers.
There are no secret processes in the
industry, no complicated and expen-
sive factories, and as live stock can
be purchased in almost every hamlet
and city, and the preparation of
meats is simple in the extreme, local
slaughtering will long remain a fac
tor in the production of fresh meats
and provisions.

Sanitation and Hygiene.
The housewife makes no greater ef-
fort to keep her kitchen clean than
we do to keep in sanitary and hygienic
condition our abattoirs. They are
thoroughly scrubbed at the close of
each days operations, and automatic
appliances are used wherever posi-
BILE in order to eliminate the personal
handling of meats. Rigid rules gov
erning these points are strictly en-
forced; laxity means dismissal.
Visitors Always Welcome.
No other industry in the world
gives such a cordial welcome to visit
ors as Swift & Co. We keep open
house the year around, and maintain
corps of specially trained guides,
with special elevators and rest rooms.
In one year we have entertained over
quarter of million of men and
women; in one day-Grand Army
Day, 1901-we entertained $4,000.
Among our visitors have been ambas-
sadors from foreign governments,
princes, noblemen and distinguished
citizens from all lands and eminent
folks from every state in the Union.
We wish to familiarize the public
with our methods, and the best way
to do that is to let the public see for
Itself. We have no secret processes
or methods in any department.

chasing cattle, sheep and hogs prevail
at all cities. At Chicago, which is
the largest market, there are about
two hundred and fifty buyers. repre-

various cities and exporters. OF this
number, less than a score are employ

put in pens. Then the buyers inspect
them, make their offers to the COM

must be finished at o'clock each day,

shelves there are trolley rails. from
which are suspended hooks to hang

cost as much as a hundred thousand
dollars to build and equip. AS a rule
they are of pressed brick, the insides
being lined-fioor, walls and ceiling
with highly polished hardwood. The
floors are covered daily with fresh

IsRAEL's PILLAR OF FIRE. Biblical Critic Says Moses Used
 Naphtha.

London Mail.
 The sacred fire of Israel, according ttenth Century, was a composition Of naphtha or liquid bitumen known to the Persians and Greeks, the method or preparation of which Moses learned from the Egyptian priests.
 Thus MT. Ralkwill exptains the pii- lar of cloud which checked the Egyp- tian pursuit of the 1sraelites, and the fire from before the Lord" at the ter the exodus. which consumed upon the altar the burnt offering" Of the angel or pillar Of cloud going before Israel, he says: ''The description would be realized if we suppose large pe- troleum lamp to have been used, the flame being surrounded by a circular brass plate shield for safety, which would prevent the flame being seen- In still weather the dense suoke would ascend as a pillar to some height, and then, spreading out, form that cloud described later on as rest ing over the tent of the Tabernacle: while the reflection on the smoke from the flame below would make it appear at night a pillar of light.
 "As we might expect with such. a dangerous combustile." adds MT. Balk- will, some terrible events happened. two of which we should call accidents. Soon after the initiation of the burnt offerings by Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, the eldest sons Of Aaron.

 "The next outbreak is attributed to the peoples murmuring, but 1t reads as if some receptacle containing the sacred naphtha had been accidentally upset, and the fluid, running along the ground, had caught fire in some of the nearest outlying tents of the camp. | And the fire of the Lord burnt among them. and devourei in the uttermost part of the camp" (Num. xii. 1) MT. Balkwill gives similar explana- tons of the triumph of Elijah over the priests of Baal (wEen napntha was burned Heating on ths tor Of water). and of narratives ln the Mac eabees. and concludes: "The evidence is clrcumstantial, cumulative. positive and, one would think. sufficient to prove that the prophets and priests Of Israel used highly inftammahlc fliud, probably a preparation of re- ftneI petroleum, to bring duwn fire from heaven,

Never did man enter a contest with more patriotic motives. and with greater disadvantages confronting him than did Lieutenant Governor Gun ningham in this year of grace 1sos. Many of his friends were doubtful at the start. and offered no encourage ment beyond their support. Having put his hands to the blow. be the con sequences what they might. he re- solved to carry his message to every nook and corner of the State anu make a direct appeal to the hearts ana heads of the people of Alabama. He knew the tremendous odds that were against him. He knew of the vast sum of money that his opponent couia spend and not make an inroad on nis thousands of dollars. He knew the power and the wealth of great eorpo- rate interests that were lined up be- hind Mir. Conner and were willing to spend and be spent in his behalf. Above all he realized that the minds of many thousands of voters had been poisoned by prejudice against railroads and other corporations that were too deep and ineradicable to be removed by any kind of reason or appeals to common sense and fairness. While he was just as much an advocate ot reasonable and just regulation of rail- road rates as any man in Alabama the cry had been falsely raised that he was the candidate of railroads, and from beginning to end the falsehood was urged against him.
 With a brave heart and firm resolve to do his best to enllghten the voters as to all the issues of the day, and to warn them against trusting their in- terests to a man of one idea only, and that idea originally based upon per- sonal grievances. he took the field and made the most heroic and the most re- markabIe campaign ever known In Alabama There was no campaign committee of Farmers, Laborers and Merchants" so-ca1ied, to spend his and contributed mouey by flooding the State with all sorts of false sugges- ting fnuendoes and fallacious argu- ments Not dollar of campaign funds was at his command, Every cent of expense was paid out of his pocket, and he has demonstrated that wealth cannot entirely shut the door against an sspirant of small means, IT he has the will to do tho right thing and places confidence in the honor and integrity of the people.
 Not one who heard thu great closing speech of Dr. Cunningham at the meeting in Montgomery Saturday night will ever forget that remarkable display of physical aud mental alert ness. With a record of five months hard campaigning behind him, he faced that great audience with the same bonyancy of manner and spirit as he did In this city in the early days of April. There was not culver in his voice, and not note in discord with all his previous utteTances. It was grand presentation Of facts without malice, without passion, bat In a man. ner that impeIled admin alton and re- spect for the man.
 No matter what may be the result of this primary Dr. Cunningham has won great victory. He has won the hearts of all the people of Alabama.
