The total refrigeration capacity OF
all Armour plants is over $4,000 tons
daily. There are AIS branch houses.
The Armour general Office building In
the stockyards. at Chicago, is one Of
the largest Office buildings in the
world, housing one individual firm.
over 1850 people are employed
therein.
About the Local Plant.
While the parent plant at Chicago
is fifty years old. the Wilmington
branch can lay claim TO but half this
number Of birthdays. During the
quarter of a century it has been here,
dealers, as we'll as the public. have
learned to rely on the name Armour
as meaning the best than can be had.
As at the home plant, the strictest
sanitary precautions are employed at
the local branch in the handling Of
meats and other products Of the COM
pany. Meats are received from the
west in refrigerated cars and are re-
moved from the cars at the door OF
the plant and Immediately conveyed
TO the cooling and storage rooms.
The temperature of these refrigerated
cars while in transit is between As
and so degrees. Such cars hold about
two tons of ice and will carry from
80 to 45 cattle, or a minimum of
10000 pounds Of provisions. These
cars are iced four times in transit
from the west to the eastern mar

as that town is located in the centre
OF one of the richest fruit belts in
the country.
The Ridgely plant has capicity
of 100000 quarts daily. It is oper-
ated only during berry season, a
period extending from five to six
weeks. This season is looked for
ward TO yearly by the employees Of
the company engaged in this plant to
the number of 1900. Comfortable
houses are furnished for the em-
ployes. There are Fairgrounds for
children whose parents are employed
in the factory. and all look forward,
not to a period of hard labor, but
rather a vacation each year as berry
season rolls around
The enormity of this companys
business may be imagined when one
is told that it does a business Of
practically $1,OOO,OOO a day. or $4,000
ever yhour. or $500 every minute Of
the year, day and night About
$34O, 100000 was paid to farmers and
other producers of the industry and
for wages in 1913. The share Of
profit to Armour and Company is re-
markably low, much lower than many
would believe. The operating profit
for 1913 was s11,S56,O94. From this
amount must be deduced interest,
taxes, etc, which leave as net earn
ings, $6,O2S.197, or about IT per
cent on the turnover. This means
that out of every dollar the con-
sumer paid to Armour and Company.
9S3 cents was paid out by Armour
and Company-leaving a net profit Of
one and seven-tenths Of a cent on a
dollar to Armour and Company.

sible It might be Of interest to note
here that these meat trains are known
as fresh meat express trains and al
ways take precedence over passenger
trains.
The cooler at the local plant is one
of the most interesting parts Of the
buildings, especially at this time OF
the year. There the temperature
ranges from "a to sS degrees. It has

In the sweet pickle cellar is kept all
sweet picked meats. These are held

meats are given time to drain and then
smoked. The smoking is done in set

Government wants to do something to
reduce the high cost of living let it
set an example before those who ex-
perence the cost of high living, by
cutting out usless expenditures of
money here, there and every where.
IhlS useless expenditure goes on from
Gay to day, from week to week and
from month to month in every State
the Union and the pace is set by
the Federal Government itself.

not more than half dozen sorts of

LEAH KLESCHNA"
Synopsis

Leah, daughter of Kleschna, the
master thief Of France, is taught and
forced to assist him in his evil prac-
tees Rescued at the Bazaar Fire in
Paris, she awakens to love and a rea-
lization of her degraded position. She
comes within contact of the refining
and regenerating influence of Paul,
whom she learns to worship in secret.
General Berton urges Paul to use
his influence to stop Raoul, his son,
and the brother of Paul's fiancee,
Claire, from visiting Leah, with whom
he is infatuated. Kleschna, who is in
Paris under an assumed name, is rec
ognized by Paul and ordered to leave
France, at once. Kleschna determines
before leaving France, to steal the ia
nous Sylvan necklace from Paul in
tended for Claire. He compels Leah
to assist him in this evil enterprise.
Kleschna forces window, by which
Leah enters Pauls house, where she is
suddenly confronted by Paul, in whom
she recognizes her hero. He sympa-
thetically questions her, and learns
the story of her past life and criminal
training. At this moment, Raoul en-
tiers, and Paul hides Leah. Raoul ac-
cidentally finds her in the house, and
in an outburst of jealousy, accuses
both Leah and Paul. To protect Paul
Leah dramatically confesses that she
I is a thief, and had broken into the
house to steal Paul takes advan-
tage of her sacrifice and ushers her
out. Later, after Raoul's departure,
Paul finds the jewel-case empty.

NO MORE TYPHOID IN THE ARMY

Typhoid fever has been banished
from the United States Army. In
the entire enrolment of over 10000
men IN barracks or camps in the
United States, Philippines, China
Porto Rico, Cuba and Hawaii, there
were during 1913 only three cases of
typhoid fever. Two of these were
new recruits who developed the dis
ease four and five days after they en-
listed. Only single case of typhoid
fever in an inoculated soldier occurr-
ed during the entire year out of the
entire body of 10000 men. This case
occurred in soldier in the battalion
on duty in China. All three of these
cases recovered so that not a single
death IN the Army during the year re-
suited from this disease. When it
Is remembered that typhoid has been
for centuries the most dangerous dis
ease to the soldiers and that every
army, whether on garrison duty or on
the field, has expected to pay a heavy
toll of sickness and death to this dis
ease, the record of our troops is all
the more remarkable The disap-
pearance of typhoid is due directly to
typhoid vaccination, which has been
practiced in, the Army since 1909.
Previous to the introduction of vacci-
nation the best record which had been
obtained by sanitary precautions was
IN 1908, in which out of 1852 men,
there were 239 cases of typhoid with
"a deaths. Vaccination, begun in the
Army in 1909, was at first voluntary.
but later was made universal In
1910, with 81 ,434 officers and men in
the Army there were 1913 cases of ty-
phod with IA deaths. In 1911, with
82,SO2 men in the Army, there were
70 cases and 8 deaths. In 1912, with
S8,478 men enrolled, there were only
27 cases and A deaths, while in 1913,
with 90,646 officers and men in the
Army, there were three cases and no
deaths, and as has been shown above
two of the three cases were in re-
cruits who had just joined the army.
AS the sanitary conditions, food, wat
er and all the surroundings were
practically the same in 1913 as in
1908, the only cause for such a re-
markable record is the general en-
forcement of typhoid vaccination.
These startling and gratifying facts
are from an article by Major F. F.
Russell in recent issue of The Jour
nal of the American Medical Associa-
ton.

That Mr.. Roosevelt is an astute DO

made break in his criticism of the
Administration and its Mexican policy
is of equal certainty. The meagre in
formation that came to him in the

base such criticism as he made in
his Para interview. 1t was shot
taken, as he often takes them, at ran

shh LUIS GROWERS ~ BEeT5
WILL GET SAME PRICE AGAIN

The San Luis Valley Beet Sugar
company, after three seasons there
are convinced that beet raising can be
made profitable, both to the farmer
and the company. They realize up
to the present time such has not been
the case, but feel that with proper
methods applied, and by handling
smaller tracts and giving same the
proper attention, the farmer can not
fail to make success OF beet raising.
The company is now taking con-
tracts for the season OF 1914 at the
same price they paid last year. not
withstanding the fact that other Colo
RADIO factories have cut the price.
The farmers of the valley are be-
ginning to realize the advantages OF
beet raising. as the company now has
contracts signed for over 5000 acres,
and the indications are that the total
acreage will exceed 5000 acres.
For the farmer who has had no ex-
perience In beet culture 1t is better
to begin on a small scale. planting
five to ten acres for the first year,
instead of large acreage, for the
reason that II he tries It on a large
scale and has a partial failure. 1t will
discourage him so that he would be
reluctant to try the crop another year
and he would blame the failure on
the land o" the climate, when really
the failure was caused by inexperi-
epce or having larger raage than

ting the hen can be proceeded with AZ
already described. These boxes may
be piled one above the other.
When the hens are let on the nests
to feed. the doors of the nest boxes
should be closed. which compels the
hens to remain on the floor until they
have had a chance to feed. The hens
will not return to the same nests. but
this 10 rather likely to be Of benefit
than otherwise. All hens do not set
at exactly the Same temperature. and
an occasional change averages up the
temperature for all the settings OF
eggs
No hen should be allowed to set un.
less she Is free from lice. The mac
ton OF the bird is conducive to rapid
multiplication of any lice there may be
on her. These will make her irri.
table and a poor setter. In addition.
should she bring on hatch In such a
condition. the chicks will be open to
infection. Dust the hen we'll with
flowers Of sulphur or some other in
sect powder before setting. and again
a day or two before the hatch fin
fishes.
About the seventh day the eggs
should be tested. the infertile ones re-
moved. and the balance put back In
the nests. After testing 1t is usually
found that the eggs from four hens
can be put under three. This leaves
one hen with no eggs. and a new set
ting can be put under her.
When the chicks arrive two or three
patches can be put with one hen.
which leaves more hens at liberty to
sit, or II there Is no more Matching
to be done they can be put back In the
laying pens.
