Big Shoe Company Increases Its
Jobhing Facilities.
The dedication of the new admins
tration and jobbing house building
erected by the W. l.. Douglas Shoe Co.
as a part Of its mammoth manufacture
ing plant at MOntcIlo, Mass, was
marked by the t~horoughness and atten-
ton to detail characteristic of the firm
in all its undertakings. AS the new
building is said to be the most complete
and convenient of any ever built for q
commercial house in the United States,
so were the expressions of appreciation
by the many persons who visited it for
inspection sincere and Of a highly con-
gratulatory nature.
The completion Of this structure
marks the establishment of q modern
~up-tO-date wholesale jobbing house and
office building. Mr.. Douglas has long
considered the ACCESSIBILITY Of Il job
bling house, not only for the purpose
of supplying his own retail stores more
readily. but that the 1000 dealers
throughout the United States handling
the w. L. Douglas shoes might be able
to obtain shoes for Immediate use with
lIClNl liNIJlll. Cllht' ~ DItStIJl ~ .
tenn all shoes are manufactured to or
der, and customers sometimes lose sales
waiting for shoes to arrive. With the
new jobhing house they will be enabled
to have their hurry orders shipped the
same day they are received, which vii!
be far more satisfactory to the GUS
toner and will result in 4 largely in
creased business to the W. /. Douglas
Shoe Co.
The new building is 2G0 feet long and
60 feet wide and two stories in height.
The jobbing department will 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, women's,
misses and children's shoes. slippers,
rubbers and findings eQlal to any job
bling house in the country.

POTTED MEAT NOT PRESERVED.

Manufacturers Association and sam
ftary Inspector So Report.
h following extracts from reports
Of the National Manufacturers Asso-
citation and Inspector Hedrick, Sanitary
Inspector Of the City Of Chicago, refute
the sensational charges made against
the canned meat packers:
Our investigation of the Canned and
Potted Meat part of the packing industry
showed that the methods used make the
use of preservatives unnecessary, and in
dlcated that no preservatives or artificial
coloring is now used by the Canned Meat
packer.
The meat is first partially cooked in
large kettles, then the fat and zone is
trimmed off and the meat packed into
tins. The air is then withdraw with
vacuum pumps and the cans sealed in
cut Next they are put into large
cookers, where the cooking process is fin
lshed. In the packing Of some products
it is necessary that the cans be reopened
and the steam allowed to escape, the vent
hole being Immediately resealed while the
goods are hot, SO as to retain the acuum
The entire process is quite similar to
that used by the family cook when putting
up fruits and vegetables, except that
meats are sealed in tin cans instead of
being put in glass jars. We found that
the solder in making the cans and in
sealing them is all placed on the outside
of the can and does not come in contact
with, the contents.
We were informed that much Of the
cause for complaint in canned meats was
because of the mistaken idea that the
goods would keep in perfect condition af-
ter they had been opened. This would
be the fact If they were preserved with
chemicals, but as they are only kept in
condition because of being sealed in vac
uum tins they spoil just as readily as
fresh meats do after they have been
opened and exposed to the air, but will
keep indefinitely if the can is not pune
tured. 1t is also a ~well-known scien-
tlhc fact that decaying meat generates
q gas which will explode any package
which is Theoretically sealed.
Sanitary Inspector Hedrick submitted
to Commissioner Whalen his analysis of
conditions in the Libby, Mcneil & Libby
plant. He found with reference to gem
eTal conditions, that the floors, halls,
stairs, tables, etc, are kept Clean and
that the entire department-viewed from
our standpoint-was in a satisfactory con-
dition. All workrooms are light, and have
good ventilation"

Mr.. Chas. L. Sauer, Grand Scribe,
Grand Encampment l. 0. 0. Z. of Texas,
and Assistant City Auditor, writes from
the City Hall, San Antonio, Texas:
Nearly two years ago | accepted a
position as secretary and treasurer with
one of the leading dry goods establish

The sudden change from a high and
dry altitude to sea level proved too much
for me and I became afflicted with ca.

debility to such an extent as to almost
incapacitate me for attending to my du.
ties.

Cakes Are All Right.
Tro~ C,,-ooe- NJ ro yi-a

do you know why griddle cakes
hurt you?" demanded the high apostle
of Fetching. Because the syrup IS
allowed to pass into the stomach with
out being properly mixed with the sa-
Iva, which makes it digestible.
las soon as it enters the stomach it
becomes acid and interferes with ev-
erything it meets. Had the cakes been
properly m~asticated and mixed with
the saliva, the cane sugar would have
become grape sugar, and in this form
1t is easily digested.
why is it that stout people are adj
vised to avoid starchy foods? Pota-
toes, eaten too hastily, when not craved
by the appetite, supply the system with
q superabundance of fat inducing
starch.
Potatoes are supposed to produce
fat; but if your appetite raves po-
tato, and you properly masticate it,
eating only as much of it as satisfies
your appetite, the system absorbs it
all, leaving nothing to produce fat"

FATTENING HOGS QUICKLY.


One may not be able to raise swine in the
numbers that they are handled in certain
sections of the county, but there is no rea-
son why they cannot,be fed after the same
general plan whether one has few or
many. In the first place the hog, to fatten
readily and profitably, should have been
well brought up; that is, it should have
had plenty to eat and that in such variety
as to have given the animal a proper dis
tribution Of fat and muscle SO that it will
be in a position to take on fat without US
ing any Of the food for its growth. In the
sections where swine are raised in large
numbers corn with the cob is ground into
a coarse meal which is placed in barrels
until the barrel is half full; milk, clean
slop and water is heated until boiling then
poured into the barrel until three-quarters
full. After three or four days this mass
will fern1ent until the barrel is full to the
brim. 1t is then fed to the hogs a little at
a time until they get used to it then they
are given all they will eat three times
daily. For .roughage clover hay is fed and
the hogs kept on the range as long as pos
sible. This combinat ton puts flesh on a
hog rapidly and without cloying its appe-
tite which Is the case when corn is fed in
any other way. Try the plan on a small
scale il necessary to ascertain now it will

STOMACH WORMS IN SHEEP.


An experienced raiser of sheep remarked
that in nine cases out of ten when the
sheep or lambs, particularly the latter,
were troubled with any ailment which
could not be readily diagnosed it was safe
to say stomach worms and act accord
ingly. The particular stomach worm be-
ing considered is the small one about an
inch long and as thin as . fine wire; these
worms occupy the fourth stomach of the
animal gradually boring into vital parts
OF the body. The animal becomes weak,
loses its appetite and after a time dies.
The best known remedy is gasoline which
is given by using one-half ounce of gaso-
line mixed with four times the quantity
of milk or sweet oil and given to the ami
NAL when the stomach is comparatively
empty; the dose specified is for a full
grow sheep. 1t is given through the
mouth Of a pint bottle while the sheep is
standing. Care must be used that the dose
does not get into the %windpipe of the ami
mai. There is no danger in this trea
but it must be carefully given for some
times the animals are overcome by the
mixture.
