BEST IN THE WORLD.
Statement Relative to American Live
Stock Made by Sec. Wilson.

Washington, July BY direction OF
the President. Secretary Wilson today
issued the following statement:
American livestock are the health;est
N the world. The great ranges of the
West produce herds of cattle in which
the percentage of disease is remark
ably small. and The federal gov rnment
is steadily reducing. by approved sci
cntific methods this small percentage.
The inspection Of the animals before
and at the time of slaughter has been
thorough. 1t is true that the depart
ment Of agriculture has heretofore lack
"a the power and the money To provide
Tor an efficient supervision of SANTA
non and the methods of preparation of
GAINED meat food products.
The legislation which has just be
come effective provides the department
nf agriculture with an adequate law
and with ample money to carry it into
effect. Supervision and inspection will
be extended from the pasture To pack
age The federal stamp upon the can
will be i guarantee not only of the
heaithfulneSS of the animals but also
that the product was prepared in Sani-
tary surroundings ana with the aidi-
ton of no deleterious chemical or pre-
servative-any meat food product being
the government stamp will be fit for
food.
with this law in operation it may he
accepted as a fact that for healthful-
ness ard purity the canned product
will compare favorably with the fresh
meat of the United States. which is and
a lways has hpen the finest in the world
The new law is comprehensive. the
means of its enforcement are ample
and its execution thorough. People at
home ana abroad may use our meats

ship, Sunday night at 8:45 P. NJ, Mr.
w. A. Clark passed from life unto
death, while surrounded by his family
and neighbors.
In the passing away of this good
man, to the life beyond, we are again
reminded of the effects of army life
on the young soldier.
Entering the army at a tender age,
and being full of ambition, Mr.. Clark
was soon led to deeds of daring for his
country's good. Driven by hunger
at many times, himself and comrades
were oft times taken to a distant
neighborhood for food supplies, and
other necessities conducive to life.
The sufferings, mentally and ply
sically, of these boys in blue, while
exposed to the elements, and semi
tropical sun, sometimes nearly burned
alive by day, and when night over
took them, being obliged to lie on
torrent of rain, to arise at the break of
day and march many hours with not
a dry stitch of clothing on their bod
les, there, perhaps, to meet their foe
and give battle, was certainly enough

These scenes were the lot of our
friend, Mr.. W. A. Clark, and, although
he has raised very respectable fam
lily, his ambitions of youth had de-
serted him, his strength for manual
labor had departed, and instead of
joy that his youth brought him, he
inherited, from the service to his
country, weak and sickly body, I'm.
able to stand the hardships of life.
| Yes, William A. Clark has answered
the last summons, and let it be said OF
him, that he was a brave soldier, q
noble man and a Christian gentleman
a man well fitted to be pointed out
to our children as one worthy of emu
lation.
His faithful companion has labored
to make him comfortable, and has
nursed him through his decline, evel
striving to prolong his life. To her
belongs the praise of this generation.
His children have lost kind par.
