Retail Dealers Fail to Hear
of Cudahy's Reductions in
Price Of Meats
PORK ADVANCES HALF a CENT
Announcement of 10 Per Cent De-
crease at Sioux City Causes Retail
Dealers Much Grief Customers Ac-
c.pted cudahy's Statement in Good
Faith.
Special to TImes-Republican.

Sioux City. Nov. 2.--Was Cudahy
| bluffing when he declared that the
| wholesale price of meats would be re-
duced 10 per cent and that the retail
price would fall accordingly?
There's nothing to it, We haven't
heard anything about it," is the cry
of the bewildered seller of meats when
asked for the 10 per cent reduction.
The retailers of meat are kept busy
explaining. They have been obliged
to charge the same prices, tho the
public thinks 1t knows Mr.. Cudahy has
offered them relief.
In fact, it looks as if the retailer
of meats to the general public would
tie. Sioux City meat markets have been,
notified by wholesalers that pork will
cost them one-half cent more q.
pound since they read in the papers
that cut of 10 per cent was to be
made. Provisions, including bacon,
ham ana smoked meats, have been
marked up to the man who runs the
meat market and he is obliged to pay
III cents more pound for them.
No wonder the meat market man Is
up in the air. Customers produce cop
les of papers published in cities all
over the country saying they can get
meats cheaper. The meat market man
tells them they must pay more, and he
knows.
No notice Of the cut promised by Mr..
Cudahy has been received at the local
plant of the Cudahy Packing Company.
All the managers have heard of the
proposed cut has been the reports
which were published in all Of the
newspapers.
Local retailers are still looking for
reduction of the prices Of meats, but
they think the cut will come gradually
rather than by any such a drop AS
sudden as 10 per cent reduction.
1--WE have heard nothing of the pro-
posed cut in meats from the wholess.l-
ers or packers" said Hugh Balm yes
terday. ct seems little strange, but
we have had to pay more for meats
since this announcement was made.
Pork is higher, but there has been no
change in beef In the prices made to

BLOOD GETS SOUR.
Gives Advice and Tells Of Simple
Home Mixture.

At this time of year, says a we'll
known authority, the Kidneys become
weak, clogged and inactive, failing to
filter out the poisons and acids, which
sour the blood, causing not only facial
and bodily eruptions, but the worst
forms of rheumatism, Nervous and
Stomach troubles, Backache and pain
full, annoying Urinary Affections.
1t is worth anyones time now to get
from some good prescription pharmacy
the following ingredients: Fluid Ex-
tract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Com
pound Kargon, one ounce; Compound
Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Mix
by shaking well in a bottle and take
in teaspoonful doses after your meals
and at bedtime.
This simple homemade mixture will
force the Kidneys to normal, healthy
action, so they will filter and strain all
uric acid and poisonous waste matter
from the blood, and expel this in the
urine, at the same time restoring the
full blood count'-that is, 95 per cent
red blood corpuscles-which is abso-
lutely indispensable to perfect health

Ten years ago farmer put his ini-
tials on dollar bill. The next day he
went to the nearest town and spent it
with a merchant. Before the year was
out he got the dollar back. Four times
in six years the dollar came back to
him for produce and three times he
heard Of it in the pocket of his neigh
bors.
The last time he got it back four
years ago. He sent it to a mail order
house. He never has seen that dollar
since, and never will. That dollar bill
will never pay any more school or
road tax for him, will never build or
brighten any of the homes of the COM
