Stiff neck is caused by rheumatism OF
the muscles of the neck. 1t Is usually
to one side, or to the back Of
the neck and one side. While it Is often
quite painful. quick relief may be had
by applying Chamberlain's Liniment.
Not one case of rheumatism in ten re-
quires internal treatment. When there
is no fever and no swelling as in muscu-

SHR|NERS' WILL
GET: HALF RATES
Meeting Of Imperial Council
at New Orleans Will be
Immense Affair

New Orleans, Jan. 3.-Representa-
tives of the Imperial Council, Mystic
Shrine, as we'll as all shriners over
the states, Canada and Mexico will
enjoy special round trip rate of one
fare plus Is nts,rwhich was recent
ly granted by the Southeastern
Passenger association. This valuable
concession was made for the benefit
of all shriners who desire to attend
the thirty-sixth annual session of the
Imperial Council in New Orleans be-
ginning April II.
sides granting the foregoing. made it
possible for the I0Eaes in different
sections to get the benefit of diver
sified routing" Those Who take ad-
vantage of this will Have an oppor-
tunity Of seeing two sections of the
country instead Of one. r
In accordance with the request of
the shriners for diverse routing, az
rangements may be made from Gin
cinnati, Cairo, st. Louis, Louisville,
Norfolk and Washington as we'll as
other northern points for the journey
to New Orleans over cne road and the
return trip over another. This may
be secured by the payment of about
$5 in excess of the regular rate.
There is not the slightest doubt but
that these valuable concessions will
have tendency to encourage a larg-
ef crowd to visit this city during the
convention period. 1t is also safe to
presume that similar concessions will
be granted by other lines not in the
Southwestern Passenger association.
The latter organization is composed
of all the lines east of the Mississippi
and south Of the Ohio and Potomac
rivers.
Having been informed of the action
of the Southeastern Passenger asso-
citation, the executive committee of
Jerusalem temple is directing it's at
tention to the program of entertain
ment and the reception of the repre-
sentatives who attend the Imperial
Council session as we'll as all shrin-
ers who may visit New Orleans this
coming April. Secretary Joseph
Sinai in a recent announcement said
the program will be peculiarly local,
unique in every respect and of the
very highest character. The decora-
tions and illumination will also be
unique and novel and at the same
time appropriate. On the whole the
visiting shriners will be royalty en-
tertained by Jersualem temple next
April.

MUCH MEAT IS
NOT INSPECTED
Only That Which Enters Into
Interstate Trade Reached
by Government

Washington, Jan. 3.-That half of
the meat eaten in the United States
can be called uninspected and that a
real and serious danger to the pub
lie exists as q result, is one of the
conclusions reached by DIR. A. D.
Melvin. chief Of the United States
bureau of animal industry, in his an
nual report to the secretary of agri-
culture.
Ineficiency of the government in
spection because of its lack of au-
thority to reach business done entire
ly within a state, is given as one of
the causes, and DR.. Melvin points out
the great need of supplementing the
government inspection Of meats with
state and municipal inspections.
One result of the federal inspection
is to cause the diversion Of diseased
and suspicious looking animals to the
uninspected establishments where
they are slaughtered for the local
market, says the report.
MANY cities have an inspection
service but very few have an adequate
sists Of merely examining the meat as
OAcIcU lOi Sul6 III Lllc IiStfhelS, wien
it is usually impossible to detect dis
ease the evidence Of which may have
been removed with the viscera or or
gans," says DR.. Melvin.
"As a rule, sanitary conditions are
very bad at uninspected slaughter
houses and in order. to provide real
protection against diseased or un-
wholesome meat competent veter-
mary and sanitary inspection at the
time of slaughter is essential"
Despite the shortcomings Of the in
spection, it has many advantages and
is producing results which are in
creasing from year to year. DR.. Mel
vim shows in his report. With the
new law, steady improvement in
the sanitation Of packing houses has
been brought about, and as result
there has been a considerable de-
crease in the amount OF meat con-
demned in the inspections.
Notwithstanding the efforts to give
competent inspection, the service
has been unjustly attacked, the re-
port asserts. The incident at East
81. Louis is recalled and DR.. Melvin
says the charges there had their

New York, Jan. 3.-Mrs. Chas. w.
