FIFTY u. GOODS
POISONED BY PORK

Iowa City, March 2s.-Ytomaine
poisoning has stricken down between
forty and fifty. girls at Iowa untver-
sfty.
All the coeds thus afflicted partook
of q certain quantity Of pork at Cur
rier hall, and It is believed that this
food caused the germ to spring into
being.
No proof that trichina existed IN the
pork has been adduced yet, but the
numerous physicians and surgeons
who were summoned to the hall found
many evidences that ptomaines were
in existence.
1t is believed that prompt treat

cruciatingly and became deathly Ill

many is engaged in war for world
domination was frankly admitted at
the annual meeting in Berlin on Feb
ruary 10 of the "Bund Der Land.

ing the large land holders Of Germany.
The junker speakers, according to Ger.

nouncing the reichstag majority reso-
luton against annexations and the
-Hollweg. Socialists and others
who are criticising Field Marshal Won
Hihdenburg and General Won Luden-
dorff, we're attacked bitterly
NO HALF MEASURES
It was admitted that the continue
ton of the war was attended with
great difficulties and that the unfavor-
able food supplies situation had con-
verified many moEarchists into social
lists.
A violent attack upon democracy
was made by DR.. Wlldgrube, mem
Der of the reichstag, who said there
was no Cancellation between democ-
racy and imperialism.
Germany will be either monarchial
or non-monarchial." he said. I'VE pas
sionately appeal to our emperor: Hold
what you have SO that nobody may
take your crown
Chamberlain Won Oldenburg made
this statement:
This war is fight for world DOM
nation and difficult as its continuation
may be, it must be fought out until
victory has been achieved. II we do
not want to sow the death germ for
our fatherland.

I'VE will be strong enough to maintain
peace To that end we need different
frontiers and large measure Of In.
Only fools believe in an
eternal peace of the nations. AS long
as the army is fighting everything is
all right, but what will happen there
after and how we will get out Of It,
only God knows"
The speaker predicted that Ger.
many's chancellor after the war would
have difficulty in keeping within

Argentina. which has been former

will be asked to supply this meat. |
believe that within year there will
be as a big a demand for beef as for
wheat and that prices may have to
be fixed to keep them from going be-
yond reason.
Last fall. when the farmers were
asked to feed hogs and steers, they
responded so readily that they were
really a little ahead of time. AS a re-
suit many Of them lost money. But
there will be demand for meat. and
believe that conditions will be ad-
justed in such a way that farmers will
make q fair margin Of profit"
DR.. L. H. D. Weld Formerly of the
University Of Minnesota and now
economist for Swift and Company OF
Chicago, delivered an address in which
he discussed livestock conditions OF
today in their relation to the packing
industry. He declared that in spite Of
meatless days, consumption OF meat
had been kept up and had actually
been on the, increase within the last
two months. This was due, he said. to
the working men buying more meat.
Along with this is decreased sale Of
prime beef and better cuts.
