Don't sit on goods boxes and declare
that the world is going to the demni-

something or somebody is preventing

sorriest speciman of humanity is he
who puts up hard luck stories-what
he might have been had not some som

and Pathfinder are out of the race
these days. No one wants their SER
vices, simply because they can't make

a plan OF constructing raft OF the

HOW TO GET CHEAPER MEAT.
rCadar Ra,,;ds Ranublican

[Cedar Rapids Republican,
The men who really want cheaper
beef should get together when cold
YEA Their comes again. They can buy
a fatted COW for forty odd dollars and
have her butchered for few dollars.
The hide will be worth something and
even the tail may be worth something.
When they get thru they will have
about 600 pounds of good meat. Four
of them can take $50 pounds of meat
each at cost of about ten dollars, or
twelve dollars, or about s cents a
pound That is the way farmers used
to do in Iowa and they got along very
we'll by doing tina, way After they
have done that people can quit kicking
about the beef trust and about store
prices. The meat is grown right here
and they can get 1t for the cost of the
animal on the hoof, If they want it that
way.
But if they want only few choice
cuts out of an animal, a porter house
steak it may be. and want it put on ice
and kept on ice until it is put on the
fire for broiling, they will be compelled
to continue to pay the prices that such
exquisite services call for in this coun-
try.
But if all they want is the meat and
they want to get ahead OF the meat
trust and Of the distributing butchers
who are really not growing rich very
fast. there is the way open for them.
They can buy the steer or the fatted
calf just as cheaply as the trusts. and
little cheaper. and they can take I'M
to themselves all the profits that come
Of killing beef.

they will give you the fullest satisfaction

EmOrTnOuS
Success of OUR
Popular PLAN

A few weeks ago when we startled the
town with a giant announcement OF our
b~road-gauge plan to make it easy tor hun
dreds to possess themselves with good
pianos, or to give them as Christmas gifts,
there were some misgivings as to whether
the people could be awakened to a full
realization Of the generosity and fairness
of our plan to sell an unusual number OF
pianos at a very low price.
The ready response Of the people
quickly convinced us that we had struck a
popular ehord-that we were presenting to
] our friends just such a piano as they
coveted, and that our terms were SO mani
testify fair as to command consideration.
The Christmas Piano Club was
a demonstrated success from its inception
so much of a success that our chief worry
has been the keeping up of a supply OF
pianos sufficient to meet the demand for
immediate deliveries, and it begins TO look
as tho there would not be pianos enough
10 supply all the late eoners-fair warning
to those Whosa re hesitatingl
If you are going to give a
Piano as a Christmas gift and want
to take advantage OF the most advanta-
geous piano proposition ever made, we
would urge you to join the Christmas
Piano Club at once, thus making sure
of getting your piano, and have US deliver
itsat anytime you say between now and
Christmas morning.
We don't want TO disappoint
anyone. We want to make sure of
having enough pianos to supply everyone
desiring to join this club up to the limit.
You can join the club today
and have the piano delivered at once, or on

Ottumwa Courier: Prerident Taft
In his speech at Augusta endorsed the
movement for national board of
health and declared that he would
touch upon this question in his mes
sage to congress- The President
pointed out that there are now var
lous bureaus in Washington which
devote their time to a study of the
prevention and suppression of dis
eases, but they are scattered and
their work is bound to be of a hap
hazard nature as at present conduct
ed. The President feels that they
need to be united in one bureau,
which shall direct its attention to
the study of questions of health under
all conditions prevailing in this coun-
try By the circulation of knowledge
such a board could obtain the people
would be enabled to live hygienic
lives. The Presidents plan is to
recommend that there be union of
all the experimental departments of
the government for the discovery of
lines of health and the study of dis
eases.
