Flesh as Food.

Talking about meat and the packers
it would be no very great sacrifice il the
people would taboo meat, or eat great
deal less of it anyway. One OF the best
authorities on food talks this way about
meat as food.
THE flesh OF another animal is not
food, but the result Of food.
THE best meat that can be procured
contains only about 80 per cent Of food
value approximately 20 per cent OF
protein and 10 per cent fat. The re-
naming 70 per cent is water. The pro-
tein can be procured from milk, eggs,
nuts and legumes in larger proportions
than from flesh and cleaner and in bet
ter form and at comparatively much
more reasonable cost. The fat can be
procured from butter, nuts and vegeta-
Bile oils in much better quality, while a
better and purer water can be procured
from common hydrant; in fact 1t
would be difficult to procure water con-
tanning more toxic matter than water IN
the animal flesh.
The 20 per cent water in flesh costs
the consumer about 80 cents per pound
and il is laden with the uric acid and
other poisons Of the animal body, which
were in process OF elimination when ar
rested by death. When these are added
to the poisons and toxic substances that
are constantly being produced in the
human body, it greatly reduces the en-
DURANGO and vitality and materially
shortens the period of longevity.

Creamery in Union City.

A creamery is the latest enterprise
under foot, now in the hands OF the
Business Men 5 Club for organization in
Union City. Secretary Quinn is di-
recting some correspondence relative to
this industry. This is one Of the most
Observation-Disclosures 10 Northern Illinois,
especially in Elgin. Elgin butter is
known everywhere for its quality and
purity. Some years ago a number OF
creameries we're organized in the South,
Int for lack OF business management
and supply Of milk cows they were
failures. A new impetus IN the busl-
ness is now gaining Roadway in the
South. A few years ago, not so many,
a creamery was organizedlat Hickory,
N. c.. something like the size Of Union
City. The capital stock was only
81 200. Now the concern has ply
steal value Of tens OF thousands and the
profits are about twentysper cent. The
cooperative plan is the system used.
The stock is sold at ten dollars a share,
and it is preferable to get this IN the
hands OF the farmers, in order that they
NAV be interested more particularly in
keeping cows and furnishing the milk.
The farmer who takes stock and fur
nishes milk gets, OF course, the market
pfIce fsr his or her milk, but at the
end of the year participates in the net
earnings or profits Of the dairy, II the
concern is success, which it will be II
properly managed.
The first year the dairy at Hickory
furnished sixty or seventy customers.
At the end Of the third or fourth year
it was furnishing about five hundred
patrons. The output was ten times as
large and the capital stock had advanced
in price from par to a premium OF three
or four hundrend per cent This is
record OF the dairy business in Hickory,
and il can be made just as great a sue
cess here.
Union City needs dairy. Butter is
very scarce. and often none on the
market. There is no better quality
than pure creamery butter, and trade
established would be permanent and
profitable. The creamery makes also
cheese and other products OF good
market value.

The Hapless Packer.


Said P. L. Hughes, representing the
Cudahy Packing Company, in District
Attorney whitman's John Doe inquiry
into the higher cost OF meat since the
beginning OF war:
s'As the situation stands to-day pack
ers are losing money"
That is the case in peace as well as in
war. The packers have lost heavily for
many years. Every year is bad year
for them. They have let thepublic into
the secret OF their financial distress SO
frequently that it is high time for an
attitude of sympathy toward, and per-
haps campaign for charity in behalf
Of, the hard-up packers.
There is no money in the packing
business. The millionaire packers are
merely men who play successfully at
Monte Carlo when they are abroad inn
proving their minds, or men who have
been financially fortunate in marriage,
or whose fathers were wise enough to
keep out Of the packing business and
share the opportunity for saving that is
provided by the schedule OF retail prices
for meat.
The spectacle of the paekers-men
Of wealth accustomed to living we'll
continuously striving to net a profit and
constantly netting a.loss is one which
should bring tears to the eyes of Mr..
Whitman. 1t is enough to bring tears
to the eyes OF an Irish potato.
How the packers must have to strive
in order to keep up the appearance Of
prosperity Very probably they have
to paint their own steam yachts to keep
expenses down. One reason why some
of them frequently seen turning corners
more rapidly than is consistent with the
safety first" sentiment is that they
have to travel on two wheels at time
to save automobile tires. A man can
not afford to be reckless in his con-
sumption Of rubber when he is engaged
in the phiIanthropic business OF selling
trainloads OF beef below cost to car
niverous, avaricious, mendaclous, un-
grateful public which ISLANDERS him while
| full OF sirloin.
When a committee upon public
curiosity wants to talk to Mr.. William
Rockefeller he has bone in his throat,
or something of the kind, and gets an
affidavit from his physician that IT he
should attempt to talk he might kill
himself. Note the difference in the
attitude Of the packers. They are al
ways ready to tell the truth, the whole
truth and nothing but the truth. And
the truth always is that AS the situa-
ton stands the packers are losing
money. louisville Courier-Journal.

Suit Over Building

Whether or not the Winton Fin.
nish Socialist association is law
fully enjoying possession of its
meeting place known as the Fin
nish Temperance hall at Winton,
will be question which will be
left to the courts.
Suit was begun in district court
Wednesday by the Finnish Tenn
perance society of Winton and
Fall Lake to secure possession of
the premises now occupied by the
Socialist organization and to re-
cover damages because it has been
deprived of the use of the hall.
The temperance society, consist
ing of Gust Johnson, Charles Berg
quist, Charles Erickson, Nick
Kuutunen and Gust Indy as active
members and plaintiffs in the eject
ment suit, allege that the Socialists
took possession about Oct. 1, 1910,

society. The plaintiffs ask $500
damages for the loss of the use of
the hall and 500 for damaged
furniture and fixtures.

friends on the ranges and in this
district who think very highly of
him but could not get by the excel
lent record of Congressman Miller
far enough to turn him down. Mr.
Boyle can feel fattered over the ex-

no cause to feel otherwise. While
many of the voters considered him
fit material for Congress, they

his untiring work for the district.
Andrew Nelson of Duluth will be
