Details of Organization

Veeder gave the details of the organi- zation of the National Packing company which was formed March IS, 1903, and which the government contends was the instrument used by the indicted packers to fix the price of meat.
 The witness said this corporation, capi- talized at $15,OOO,000, was formed by the merging Of 13 companies and their sub salaries and that the promoters were paid in stock in the National Packing company. A list of the companies and the price paid for them by the National Packing company was given as follows:
 Stock Yards Warehouse company, $530- GOO.
 Anglo-American Provision and Refrig- orator Car company, $360,000
 Kansas City Refrigerator Car company, $13O, 900.
 Powders Canadian company, limit ed, $70,O00

 Hutchinson Packing company, $100.000.
 Anglo-American Provision company, B. O00,0O0.
 Fowler Packing company. $so0.0Oo
 United Dressed Beef company, $1, 900, ,O00
 Veeder said these companies were all purchased by Armour, Morris and Swift before Michael Cudahy was taken mio the combination. He said all the men who sold their plants agreed not to en- gage in the packing business for k5 years.
 "Haye you any more contracts or agreements used in the organization Of the National Packing company asked Spe- cial Government Counsel Pierce Miller.
 "About three blfshel, but nothing you would want" replied the witness.
 "Whom did you talk with in your ne- gotiations with Kuhn, Loeb X Co.,, of New York for loans for the National Packing company?'
 "Jacob II. Schiff. He was the manager of the firm and the whole thing" was MT. Veeder's reply. The witness was questioned regarding the Keenwood company, corporation or ganized by the agents or employees of the packers. That company was incorporated to deal in oeo oil and believe it did just what 1t was organized to do. It was incor-

His suggestion was that the packers stock be bought at 200 and paid for in the new company Mr. Swift was impressed with the idea of consolidation and a meet ing was called in May, 1902, at which the subject was considered.

his task with much credit to himself and the occasion. Among the distinguished guests were Dr. w. H. Sanders, state health officer, pr. NJ B. Cameron, mem ber of the state board of censors, w. R. Fitzgerald of Danvlle, Va, Commissioner James Weatherly, Richard F. Johnson of the Birmingham Ledger, pr. w. F, Evans rector of the Church of the Advent and others.
 Previous to the speaking, toasts were proposed to the three oldest members of the association, which was followed by one for Dr. Sanders, both of which were drunk standing and with much enthusiasm.
 Johnson Speaks
 The toastmaster called on Richard F Johnson to respond to the toast of the "Press" The speaker referred 10 the many reforms and movements that the Jefferson county association had brought about and that the press was giving them aid and assistance in their efforts to improve the heauh. and general welfare of the people. MT. Johnson also stated that the press stood ready a all times to help the medical profession, pointed to the pub licity and enlightenment given by the press on the establishment of tuber-
 
 taining to the public health.
 Dr. D. P. Riggs was the next speaker and was assigned to the toast of The Tendency of Modern Medicine" pr. Riggs made a very learned address and gave a brief history of the practice of medicine from the Greek and Roman practitioners to the physicians of the present day. He advocated the strict observance of the ethics of the pro fession and suggested that the people should be given the best possible in- 'truction in hygiene and all things re- rding health, all of which should be Int in the public schools.

Sun Yat Sen will be elected president tomor- row at the regulation convention or the Ranking conference, at which elghteen delegates appointed by the governors Of the provinces, or by the provincial as semblies, will act in behalf of China proper.
 The revolutionary leaders here laugh at the apparent struggle of Yuan Shl Kai, the imperial premier, to temporlze with the situation, which. they declare has completely passed out of hls con troi

 Dr. Sun Vat Sen has made preparations to organize his cabinet. It is believed that the first ministry will be strong and may include some of Yuan Shi Kai's dele gates who accompanied Tang Shaoi Vi, the premier's representative, to the peaae conference.

Dr. Sun President

Making, December 29.-Dr. Sun Vat Sen has been unanimously elected President of the republic of China
 Shanghai, December 29.-Sun Vat Sens election as President of the re- public of China by the Ranking con ference today means that the peace conference with Wu Ting Fang and Tang Shao Vi is closed. The President will assume charge of all negotiations.
 The continuance of these negotiations with Yuan Shi Kai as the representa- tive of the retiring Manchu royalty will depend entirely upon the imme- diate withdrawal of all the so called imperial troops from all points of con- tact with the revolutionaries. Under these conditions the armistice will be extended for 10 days in order to give President Sun Vat time to issue the terms under which the Manchus must lay down their arms and to decide upon pensions and other preliminary de- tails.
 The President now established with the capital at Ranking will treat the court as thing of the past because IS provinces have already voted in favor of a republic in properly con- stituted convention and the edict re- contly issued at Picking says that if a representative convention favors a republic the throne will abdicate.
 London, December 2S.-A dispatch to the Morning Post from Shanghai says that the revolutionary leaders have been informed by Gen. Ii Yuen Heng, the revolutionary commander at Wu Chang, that 30.000 imperialist troops at Hankow have offered to join the revolution for $20 apiece.

made the better. The object of this
treatment is to cause contraction of the
blood vessels and thus diminish the
mount of femcrrhage. Cold is very
efficient for the same purpose, but It

half an hour without removal for a few

polishing, and hope you can help me
out Thanking you in advance, 7 re-

Give the brass a preliminary rubbing
with kerosene. If it is very badly tar
nis1ed or blackened remove the stain
with oxalic acid or vinegar IND salt
Dip a wooden cloth in a strong solution
and rub at once with a dry cloth. When
clean rinse thoroughly, and, to prevent
retarnishing, rub with whiting, any
good silver polish, or sweet oil and
tripoli. The following Is q good brass
polish: Mix one gill of paraffin oil. one
half gill of ~naphtha and enough finely
powdered tripoli to make a soft paste.
Rub brass first with a niece of felt.
then dust with dry tripoli and polish
with a soft linen cloth. ~

BATHS.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

A woman bordering on hysteria n
night called up her physician by tele-
phone at a late hour. beseeching him
TO give her something to quiet her
nerves, so that she could sleep. He
directed her to run hot water into her
bathtub. to sit in it and particularly
to dip a Turkish bath-towel in it and
let 1t rest over her entire spine. She
was amazed over the result. soothing
and comforting to the highest degree.
A good pure-water bath is a tonic
all can afford. The home woman who
has worked hard all day till she has
reached a "lifeless" feeling of weari-
ness, takes a bath as a bracer just
before dinner. Business women whose
life is %fatiguing appreciate its stimu-
lation In the morning. Women with
uncertain circulation should never
jump into a tub of cold water, as the
shock has a tendency to weaken the
heart.
Sea Salt makes a strengthening home
bath. A handful of salt crystals should
be put In a covered vessel of hot water
and let remain to dissolve over night.
In the morning pour 1t into the freshly
drawn bath,
The camphorated bath is bracing.
This is made by mixing WI parts of
camphor TO one of tincture of benzoin
and four of cologne in a bottle by
shaking 1t well. Keep 1t tightly corked.
When a bath of warm water is ready

fourth hot water is more strengthen
