own fallen nature; raised and IN
tensified by the enticements OF our
evil environment, and overshadoweo
and fostered by satan, finally secures
the acquiescence the will, and then
the evil choice is made and the evil

on by his own desires, enters the
realm of actual sin through the doors

who wilfully sins, does so because he

Next Sunday evening Mr. Ellis will

marvellous contralto voice had won for
her the most enviable position In

was the idol of the peasants OF that
Inflated country. Her rendition of the
Russian gypsy songs endeared her to
all.

Bridging the Gap
From Steer to Steak

Live stock is raised on the
farms and ranches of the West.
Meat is eaten in the large cities
OF the East, and by our boys in
France - thousands of miles
away.
The day of transporting live
animals from ranch to seaboard
and overseas has passed. There
was too much waste. The mod
ern packer locates his large and
specialized plants in the produce
ing regions. He ships the dressed
beef in refrigerator cars, and
holds it in his own refrigerated
branch warehouses until deliv-
cred to the retailer. For ship
ment to foreign ports, he
transfersthe meat to refrigerated
ships.
By means of his nationwide organ
ization the modern packer maintains a
continuous flow of meats to all parts
OF the country, so that each retailer
gets just the quantity and quality of
meat his trade demands, and at the
time he wants 1t.
Swift & Company recently shipped
1000 carloads of meat products in one
week to our Armies and to the Allies.
Bridging the gap from ranch to con-
sumner can be done successfully
at low unit costs and profts-only by
large business organizations
Swift & Company's profit on meat,
always so small as to have practically
no effect on prices, is now limited by
the Government to about Q cents on
each dollar of sales.
