has been done on this side or what can be done looking to meeting this condition and thereby safeguarding the interests of this country? Steps should certainly be taken with the full knowledge of the government looking to safeguarding the interests of those on this side who must negotiate the best business to be had in Europe aft CT the war is over.
 The Europeans are ready for us; but no one can say we are ready for them in dealing with this proposition in a businesslike way. Until the Americans are organized and author ized by laws to meet the Europeans in fair and square competition for this great business of the future, and for which the Europeans have already made all of their arrangements in the way of organization, the Americans will be at a distinct disadvantage.

 "When congress might have passed such bill, the stocl1men did not want it, and when the stock men concluded they wanted it, congress could not see it that way. Well, after the funeral was over, up bobs the question, again why don't you raise the grazing fees?' and a perfectly good reason presented itself in the fact that the election was coming on and that it would not be fair to inject this thing into a political campaign. And so t went over for another session.
 "The only way raise in fees could affect the consumer would be in our getting the price so high the ranges would not be used and in that way cause the supply of meat animals to be reduced.
 "The item of grazing fees at either 50 cents or $1 a year on a s75 steer will not affect the price of beefsteak to the fellow that eats it, nor the grazing fee on sheep at either 6A or 1215 the price of an order of lamb chops"
 Dr, W. J. Butler, state veterinarian of Montana, discussing the present and future of the livestock industry, said the United States now is raising the best cattle in the world and has the best market facilities. I predict that the raising of pure bred cattle, now in it's infancy, will become an i'm portant factor in the industry"
 Formal announcement of success in an effort to bring about an agreement by the big packing concerns of the country to an investigation of the packing industry by the federal trade commission was contained in the re- port of the committee on markets at the annual convention by E. L. Burke of Omaha, vice chairman. The mar ket committee, appointed a year ago at Fl Paso, Texas, has been engaged in conducting campaign for a fed eral investigation of the livestock in- dustry, relating to production and distribution.
 "We have convinced the packing in- terests that at last the producers are a factor to be reckoned with" says the report, Hthat they can organize and stick together for the accomplish ment of an end in which they are vitally interested, namely, the estab- lishment of fair, open and competitive markets.
 "We have convinced them that we are not to be turned from our main purpose. As a result, we have met them both individually and as a com mittee and they have finally agreed, under certain conditions to withdraw their opposition to an investigation by the federal trade commission"
 After emphasizing the magnitude of the task which the committee un- dertook and detailing the methods by which an agreement was finally reached with the packers. The report refers to what is termed the more fundamental use of questions pertain ing to the marketing of livestock and meats. These are:
 Control at central markets by the packers, which it is declared is great as ever but temporarily obscured by the unprecedented demand caused by the war; difficulty in making the pub lie understand that by laying founda- tions for increased production and more economical distribution the com mittee would aid in lowering the cost of living; cooperation with packers, commission men, stOckyard companies, and federal bureaus.

The Habit of Taking Cold

With many people taking cold is a habit, but fortunately one that is easi- ly broken. Take a cold sponge bath every morning When you first get out of bed-nOt ice cold, but a tempera- ture of about 90 degrees F. Also sleep with your window up. Do this and you will seldom take cold. When you do take cold take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and get rid of it as quickly as possible. obtainable every where.

ABIDI. WITH HER.

The funeral services of Mrs.
Mary Elizabeth Franklin, were
beautiful-the quintcssencc Of Sim
pllclty-in keeping with the sweet
life she lived. The obsequcs were
held at the home of her daugh-
ter, Mrs. Coralie Franklin Cook,
5 Miner Hall, Howard University,
Washington, d. c., just as the
sun was hiding it's shadows in the
West, on Friday evening, May !.
DR.. M. w. Clair had charge, assist
ed by DR.. Newman, President Of
Howard University, DR.. Tunnel,
and Rev. DR.. Grimke. DR.. New
man read Browning's poem on
death; DR.. Tunnel offered prayer;
DR.. Clair had charge and paid a
beautiful tribute to life so we'll
spent, and Dr. Grimke went into
the bowels Of thought on the inAu-
ence of such life, and how hu-
manity is suffering for such moth
ers and women.
Her remains were taken to Har-
per's Ferry, where her husband
Albert Franklin, died December p,
1878, and laid by his side with both
graves completely covered with
howers-both were noble souls.
When he died some one suggested
that he ought to be buried in the
white cemetery, and Mr.. Cavalier
said: Such a man as Mr.. Frank
lin the gates of heaven opened wide
for him and SO shall the gates of
Our cemetery. - Sweeter music we
never expect to hear until Our soul
is filled with that Of heaven itself.
The body was committed to the
grave by President Henry r.
Mcdonald Of Storer College, where
many old friends and neighbors had
gathered to pay their last tribute
of respect.
