chase price has steadily risen during.
the years. The defendants do not.

meats in the markets. Those meats
are sold under competitive condi-

petition with dozens and hundreds.
Of competitors, which make such a
thing imossible, and it is not in fact

by the packers, to the meat dealers,
inflated or excessive. Neither do the
packers reap enormous or inflated
profits H.. - !. r.. =zzz #
''On the contrary, fresh meats DUR
ing the period covered by the indict-
ment, have been sold by the defend.
ants, on such close margin, be-,
tween actual cost to them, and ac--
tual sale price; that $3.50 will much
exceed the average profit per head
on cattle, and IA of one cent per
pound, will exceed the average profit
on dressed beef sold. And this prof

beef, the whole profit arising on each
beef animal, including the by-prod-

Consumers will wait with hopeful
hearts the presentation Of evidence
gathered by the government during.
the past five years by which the
prosecution alleges it will be able to-
show that consumers have been and
are at the mercy of the men who con-
troll the meat supply of the country.
Puny profit figures advanced by
men who have made millions in the
meat industry doesn't make much
more of hit with the public than
has the packers attitude of grasping.
as a drowning man at straw, at
every technicality uncovered by
highest paid legal talent. If the
packers have carried on a fair and
proper business in furnishing food
for the nation, it would seem that
they would be anxious enough to go

publicity to illumine their spotless

The Druids,

The Druids were evidently Of very
great antiquity. for there cannot be
much doubt that it was one Of their
customs that Virgil had in mind when
he wrote in the "Aeneid." vi, 142. that
the "only means Of access for a living
mortal to the world Of spirits was the
carrying of a golden twig which grew
in a dark and thick grove" The re.
semblance Of the story to the Druidical
rite is perfect The Druids practiced
their rites in dark groves. If mis-
tletoe was discovered growing upon
an oak priest severed it with knife,
and festival was held under the tree
at which two milk white bulls were
offered as sacrifice. This was sac
rifice to the sun god, and the mistletoe,
from it's pale greenish yellow tint, was
regarded as a kind of vegetable gold
and was accordingly looked upon as
being fit offering to the sunr-New

Suffered Twenty-Five Years:

Having suffered for twenty-one
years with a pain in my side. l fin

called it Mothers Pain,' and in
jections of morphine were my only
relief for short periods of time. be-
came so sick that l had to undergo
surgical operation in New Orleans,
which benefited me for two years.
When the same pain came back one
day@l was so sick that I gave up
hopes of living. A friend advised
me to try your Swamp-Root and l at
once commenced using it. The first
bottle did me SO much good that
purchased: two more bottles. am
now on my second bottle and am
feeling like a new woman. I passed
gravel stone as large as big red

RESTORE GRAY HAIR
! TO NATURAL COLOR
By Common Garden Sage, a Simple
Remedy for Dandruf, Falling, Fad
ed, Gray Hair.

The old idea of using sage for
darkening the hair is again coming in
vogue. Our grsndmothers used to
have dark, glossy hair at the age of
seventy-five, while our mothers have
white hair before they are fifty. Our
grandmothers used to make a ''sage
tea and apply it to their hair. The
tea. made their hair soft and glossy,
and gradually restored the natural
color. - j.. s' - ...:~
One objection to using such prep
aration was the trouble of making
it, especially as it had to be made
every two or three days, on account
of souring quickly. This objection
has been overcome, and by asking
almost any first-class druggist for
Wyetil's Sage and Sulphur Hair Rem
edy the public can get superior
preparation Of sage, with the admix-
ture of sulphur, another valuable
remedy for hair and scalp troubles
Daily -sso. Of. this preparation will l not
only quickly restore the color of the
hair, but will also stop the hair from
falling out and make it grow.
Get a bottle from your druggist to-
day. Use it and see for yourself how
quickly dandruff goes and gray hairs
vanish. S
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents a bottle, and is
recommended and sold by all drug
gists. sS=. .5Ss..s 5s.5

WHAT IT MEANS TO you.

If you eat meat you have a per-
sonal interest in the court proceed
ings now on in federal court at Chi
cago against the big meat packers of
the country.
Here for once is the high cost of
living driven to the wall.
The Indictment contains SO pages
but it is summarized by the attor-
neys for the packers themselves in
this way:
First. That the defendants, by
daily agreements among themselves,
have fixed and controlled the prices,
which are paid by all of them, for
the livestock, at the stockyards; and
that this fixed price is much lower
than they would otherwise have
been.
Second. That the defendants have
fixed and controlled by their weekly
agreements, the price Of fresh meats,
sold by all of them in the various
markets of the country, and that
these prices have been the same in
each market as to all the corpora
tions of the defendants, and that
these fixed prices have been inflated,
excessive, and higher than would
otherwise have been the case.
Defending their clients, the at
torneys for the meat men say:
THE necessary inference is, that
in between the low fixed purchase
price of cattle, and the high and in
fated fixed sale price of meat, the de-
PENDANTS have reaped the enormous
difference, as their profit, and that
the public has accordingly suffered
THAT the stock grower has been
the victim of the price fixing at one
end, and the meat consumer has been
the victim of inflated prices at the
other, and that in between, the pack
ers- f1a7e exacteu- al, enormous prof
it. These in essence, are the ultimate
allegations. These allegations are
specifically denied. VI
THE defendants do not fix the
purchase price Of cattle by agree
ment. The purchase price is fixed by
the market conditions which neither
these defendants nor any one con-
trolls, or can control, and that pur-
