Since spring is opening up in good
shape, 1t would be wise to look well
to the quality Of the meat you are
using. 4 good diet guarantees good
health. and If your meat is lacking
in quality your health must suffer In
consequence. In the spring time the
blood needs the very best nourish
ment to aid It in casting off the ac.
cummulatlons and impurities that the
body has absorbed during the winter
season and meat is the great body
builder. New tissues replace the
old, new blood asserts itself and the
body is practically made anew In
the spring time. Therefore It be.
hooves the public to know beyond a
shadow of doubt that their meats
are only of the best.

THE BIG LAND SHOW
Chicaqo's Chief Of Police Assures Wis.
itors That Everything viii Be
Ready for Their Comfort.

Chief of Police Steward Of Chicago
is mindful of the comfort Of visitors
during the coming Land Exposition,
which will be held during the same
time as the International Live Stock
Show, Nov. 20 to Dec. 4.
1--WE shall not only police the expo
sition. but also all those parts Of the
city which the visitors WIFI frequent.
II there are any suspicious characters
in sight, we shall speedily warn them
to leave the CITY,. We are determined
that our guests during the exposition
season shall be as free from annoy
ance as thoroughly organized police
and detective force can make them.
Ordinarily the stranger in Chicago Is
as safe here as in any city-we pur-
pose to make him doubly 60 during the
two weeks of the exposition and Live
Stock Show. Wa have on the force
many men who are experienced in
looking after large crowds and they
will all be on duty at the right points
during the Land and Irrigation festivi-
ties.
II am taking a special interest in
this coming land show. for I realize its
great Importance to the country and
to the city of Chicago, and appreci-
ate the earnestness of the people who
are going to be Chicago's visitors.
Many people who are seeking new loca-
tions for their homes will come to Chi
cago aud many OF them will not be on
the alert for suspicious characters. To
such people we shall give especial care
and do all in the power Of our strong
organization to see that no one falls
into the hands Of the confidence men
lor other awindlers during his presence
within Our gates.
II appreciate the enterprise OF the
Chicago Tribune in promoting and A.
nancing this great exposition and it Is
my wish to have our police organiza-
ton assume a large measure of the re-
sponsibility for the comfort OF our
guests on this splendid occasion"
