Health Commissioner Evans

Health Commissioner Evans Of
Chicago has had many complaints of
offensive odors which were believed to
emanate from the stockyards within
the city limits. At public meeting
called to protest against the odors
Evans said that they came from the
chimneys in the yards, and for some
time he has been obtaining samples of
the smells by means of bags Suspended
from kites. Before prosecutions could
be begun, he said, it was necessary to
procure exact evidence as to the source
of the odors, and consequently kites
with open mouthed bags had been di-
rected over particular chimneys.

This brotherhood now has 25
local unions and 500 members in
this county. The farmers sent
their first delegation to Congress

time in the history of our coun-
try that the farmers have ever
asked anything, but their de-
mands will be heard in the fu-

long enough. The morning star
IS rising on their long-wished-for
