Of food to pass into the hands Of one

without precedent. Even naked saw.
ages have uniformly been too wise
for that, and the only nation that has
ever submitted to such q monstrous
condition Ia our own.
From thousand illustrations Of the
injuries We all suffer from this 'idiotic
arrangement let % cite one.
There u no way Of communicating

CunR1,~ss should pass a law eoM.
Polling packers to print the date Of
the canning on the labels of all canned
goods sold by them.
The fact that the Beef Trust fought
a proposed law to this effect, last year.
only goes to emphasize the necessity
that exists for one.
According to all accounts the canned
goods of the Beef Trust are bad enough
when comparatively new, without un.
loading on the public canned goods that
have been years In Il warehouse.
More than that. the government
should compel the packers to pay nil
the expenses of meat inspection.
The government should also inspect
all meat In transit.
Lately the Beef Trust has been
branching out and gobbling up other
lines OF business.
1t controls the meat business.
1t controls the poultry trade.
It controls the egg market
1t controls the hide market.
1t controls the boot and shoe trade.
And lately It has stepped into the
control Of a large part Of the vegetable
market.
1t Is tho Beef Trust and the Beef
Trust alone that has made the cost
of living as high as 1t is.
The Be0 Trust buys cattle, swine
and sheep on the hoof for almost moth.
Ing.
II you will take the trouble to look
at the market reports Of the daily
papers you will see that the trust pays
from $l.25 to 81 per 100 pounds for
canning cows. This Is cent and n
quarter to two cents pound. For
very high grade meat they pay as
high as five or six cents a pound.
The trust utilizes every portion of the
cattle, hoofs, horns, lntestlnes, hide,
hair and bones.
1t could afford to sell the people
meat ut reasonable prices and make Il
big profit itself.
But 1t Is too hoggish to do this. 1t
has the American public by the throat
and makes the American public pay
outrageous prices.
The following from the Chicago
Daily Journal market report for July
~. 1907, Is Il fair sample of what the
Beef Trust pays for cattle, per 100
pounds:
Prime fat steers ........ SO. 15M 1.35
Good to choice steers ...... G.4OMG.7O
Medium to good steers $50. 5.15M6.4O

A MONUMENT TO BILL NYE.

or course Laramie will heartily en-.
Bill Nye. The fact that the inception
of the movement comes from abroad
Is extremely complimentary to Mr.. Nye
as n humorist of national repute and
also to the city of Laramie. His keen
wit planted the name of this city in
the minds of almost every American.
No train passes through the Gem City
without the remark being heard, why,
this was the home of Bill Nye. the
great humorist." 1t is fitting and prop
err, as the humorists have well said,
that the monument should be erected
In this city. This is where the entire
nation would expect 1t to be erected.
Here it was hat he first began his
work as a humorist, contributing
sketches to the old Denver Tribune,
upon which Eugene Field was then
employed, and to the Detroit Free
Press. Later he took up the Texas
Siftings, Peck's sun and Puck.
AS a newspaper reporter, Nye's first
work was for the Laramie Sentinel, in
1876. The paper was then located in
the building just north Of the First
National bank. His salary was ten
dollars per week. 1t was not Ions,
however, before Mr.. Nye was appointed
United States commissioner and elect
ed justice of the peace, These two po'
sitions, with his correspondence,
broughthim a considerable revenue. He
established the Boomerang in 1881, the
first location being in the building
where Prof. OFT now publishes his wy
oming Industrial Journal. From that
location he moved to the corner o!
Third and Garfield streets, the Office
being in the econd story of the Halnes
livery stable, a brick structure OF large
proportions. The room was ample and
SO was the smell. During Mr.. Nye's
connection with the paper the location
was not again changed.
The response of the people of Lara
mic to the humorists of America should
be liberal and enthusiastic.

A Heavy Load to Garry.

Along with dyspepsia comes nervous
ness and general ill-health. Why? Be-
cause 4 ~disordered stomach does not per-
nit the food to be properly digested, and
its products assimflated by the system.
The blood is charged with poisons which
come from this diSordered digestion, and
In turn the nerves are not fed on good,
red blood, and we see symptoms OF merry
business, sleeplessness n general break
down. 1t is not head work, nor over ply
steal exertion that does it, but poor stom-
ach work. With poor, thin blood the
body is not protected against the attack
of germs of grip, bronchitis and consump-
ton. Fortify the body at once with DR..

A little book OF extracts, from promi-
nent medical authorities extolling every
ingredient contained in DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery will be mailed
card or letter: Address DR.. r. V. Pierce,
Buffalo, N. Y.
Many years of active practice convinced
DIR. Pierce of the value of many native
roots as medicinal agents and he went to
great expense, both in time and in money,
to perfect his own peculiar processes for
tonic, Alternative and rebuilding agents. y
The enormous popularity of uGolden
Medical Discovery" is due both to its
scientific compromising and to the actual
medicinal value of its ingredients. The
publication Of the ame of the tngredi-
ents on the wrapper of every bottle sold,
gives full assurance Of its non-alcoholic
character and removes all objection to
the use Of an unknown or secret remedy.
1t is not a patent medicine nor q secret
one either, This fact puts it In a class
all By itself, bearing as 1t does upon every

fections no matter what parts or organs
may be affected with it. DR.. Pierce's

Mr.. VIM. Henry Of Chattanooga.
Tenn, had rheumatism in his left arm.
"The strength seemed to have gone out
of the muscles so that it was useless
for work." he says. II applied Cham
berlain's Pain Balm and wrapped the
arm in flannel at night, and to my re-
lief l found that the pain gradually left
me and the strength returned. In
three weeks the rheumatism had dis
appeared and has not since returned

1t affords. For sale by the Eggleston
