PRIME STEERS SELL AT HIGHEST

Market-Current Prices.

Chicago, Sept. 15.-Prime steers con-
tinued their march toward the coveted
50 goal this morning, both heavy and
native steers went over the scales at
$3.50, the highest price of the year,
and highest September price since 1902.
Demand, however, was centered in
prime sorts and good steers, and those
of less quality We're lower, the declines
being 10 cents on average. Range
steers also were slow and generally
lower.
Killers are finding a better market
for good range beef than lower priced
native beef. This explains their free
dom in buying heavy runs of westel MS
and Indifference toward the palmer
grade native steers which come in ii
rect competition with the northwest
ern grassers. Shippers too. are taking
considerable number of the better
grade western range steers, and pass
ing UP many of the plain and fair

grassy natives.
However, discrimination against the
palmer classes of natives in nowise

CANNED MEAT GERM FOUND.

Like SaIamander 1t Can Survive Heat
or Ordinary Sterilization.
In the course of an investigation of
army rations conducted by British
war office committee a curious fact
has come to light-a fact which may
absolve the tinned-meat makers from
one of the worst charges ever brought
against them that of knowingly pack
ing putrid material in their cans.
1t was found that cans of meat pack
ed in the ordinary way (subiected to
the usual precanning sterilization by

for months or even years in a cool
place, but when taken into a hot eli
mate would suddenly become blown"

be due to a rusting through of the can

the air in would allow the gases of de-

cay to escape, and no blowing would
result.
The archaeological studies suggest
ed by this discovery resulted in the
finding of a bacillus-to which ap-
given-which may not be destroyed by
the usual sterilization, may remain
dormant for long periods if the can
is kept in a cool place, and then sud
denly develops and putrifies the meat
when the tropics are reached. 1t is
not a specific disease germ, it's sole
ability being the power to cause decay
in meat.

Meanwhile, the clerk was still wait

leaving.
Mr.. Clerk" asked the chaperon,
now, really, what do you think is the
best flavor you have?"
The clerk glanced over his flavors
and replied that he liked nectar better
than any other.
"Oh, just can't bear nectar! What
else do you think is good?
The clerk didn't reply this time, but
started to wait on the other customers
The three young women became an
cry. There was some talk of leaving
the place and going to another drug
store, where they could be waited up
on by a more accommodating clerk.
But they finally took up the menu
again, and the youngest girl ordered

After the three young people had

one of the customers, who had waited

clerk replied. Those girls are no
