Washington, Jan. 25.-How the
packers work against federal in
vestigation of their industry, as pro.
posed in congress during 1915, and
how they kept in touch with poll
tical affairs in Washington in an ef-
fort to forestall passage of inYesti-

legal staff, and which was sent to
G. F. Swift, Jr., H. II. Swift and 9TH

1--WE believe the situation to be
serious and recommend that every
thing be done in every direction to
head off the present movement. We
believe that as it stands today moth
ing could stop criminal prosecu-
tions."
The following points were declared
by the report to be in favor Of the
packers:
This administration has not dis
turbed business by prosecution and
does not wish to be known as ap-
peaIing to the mob spirit. 1t does
not wish to spend money, as its rev.
enues are in bad shape. 1t must come
before the corporations for political
subscriptions shortly as the con-

Will REPLY TO
CHAMBERLAIN
Secretary Baker Asks OPP
portunity to Answer
Oregon Senator
CBy Associated Press.)

Washington, Jan. 25.-Secretary
Baker today asked Senator Cham
berlain to arrange an occasion at
which all members of congress dis
posed to attend may do so and hear
a statement in reply to the SEN
ator's charges Of inefdciency in the
army.
Secretary Baker sent the follow
ing letter to the senator:
MY Dear Senator Chamberlain:
"The questions which have arisen
with regard to the conduct Of the
war require an explicit statement
from me for the information of your
committee and generally for the in
formation Of congress and the coun-
try.
II feel that in justice owe such
a statement to the splendid officers
and men of the army, who have
forgotten themselves and Iabored
with self-sacrifice and, as I think,
success in the building of a great
army. .n..s
TT is due also to the great num-
ber of men of business and of af-
fairs who have accepted the invita-
tion of the war department to come
to Washington and brought their
business experience, their talents
and their judgment to the work in
hand. And, / think the people of the
country are entitled to have at least
summary Of what has been done
by America in the war.
IT, therefore, respectfully request
that your committee arrange an op-
portunity for me to make such a
statement and that the time and place
be fixed so as to enable all members
of the senate and the house of rep
resentatives who are so disposed to
attend.
IF this request can be complied
with, I shall be happy to be advised
at your earliest convenience Of the
time and place"

THE MAKING OF
A FAMOUS
MEDICINE
How Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound
Is Prepared For
Woman's Use.

A visit to the laboratory where this
successful remedy is made impresses
even the casual looker-on with the reli-
ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness
which attends the making of this great
medicine for woman's ills.
Over $50, 600 pounds of various herbs
are used annually and all have to be
gathered at the season of the year when
their natural juices and medicinal sub
stances are at their best.
The most successful solvents are used
to extract the medicinal properties from
these herbs.
Every utensil and tank that comes in
contact with the medicine is sterilized
and as final precaution in cleanliness
the medicine is pasteurized and sealed
In sterile bottles.
1t is the wonderful combination Of
roots and herbs, together with the
skill and care used in its preparation
which has made this famous medicine
50 successful in the treatment OF
female ills.
The letters from women who have
been restored to health by the use OF
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound which we are continually pub
liahing attest to its virtue.

-EAD POISONING CAUSES
DEATH OF FARM HORSES
State Veterinarian Diagnoses Trouble
Which Has Killed 300 Horses
Near Great Falls.

Great Falls.-There Is no longer a
mystery connected with the loss Of
horses in the territory Immediately
north and east of Great Falls Some
300 head have been lost by farmers in
that territory, but their death has not
been due to disease The deaths have
been due to poison. This was Nthe
statement of Or. w. 7. Butler, state
veterinarian, who met in the court
house with the county commissioners
and delegation of farmers from the
affected territory.
DIR. Butler first stated that he de-
sired to correct an erroneous impress
sion that seemed to be generally cur
rent. Those people, he said, who were
responsible for the statement that his
office had not given attention to the
local situation were misinformed. Nine
different times, he explained, either
he, personally, or some of his repre-
sentatives have been on the ground
with an idea to giving relief to farm
ers whose horses were sick.
DR.. Butler stated that it was not
disease, but a poison that was kill
ing the horses in question; not fun
gus poison, but chronic, metallic
poison that could be more accurately
described, he believed, as lead poison.
Horses ailing from the prevalent trOu-
Bile, he said, indicated having consum-
ed lead poison, but there were certain
symptoms lacking. TheSe were no
swollen joints in the horses now all
ing and no line of demarcation has
been found in horses that have died,
but still, he believed, it was lead poi
sOning.
The poison had been consumed, in |
the opinion of DR.. Butler, with the |
grass on which the affected horses |
have been ranging. How it came on |
he grass he could not say. When ask |
ed if it might have come from smelter |
fumes he stated that it was possible,
but that his opinion in this regard was
as he was veterinarian I
md not q chemist.
Questioned as to whether they con-
'idered the poison described by DIR.
Butler had been scattered through
agents of the enemy of the nation, the
armers at the meeting emphatically
tated that they entertained no such
dea.

CRADLE SONGS ARE ANCIENT
Words Often Seem Meaningless Jum-
bic; Melody Always Within Com
pass of Home Voices.

Almost all popular cradle songs are
very old, some of them so old that,
were they not familiar, they might be
considered the veriest curiosities Of
literature. Through all the changes
of language they have held their own
upon the lips and in the hearts of the
people. From mouth to mouth they
have come down through the years
with an irresistible swing of rhythm
and patter and jingle OF words till
they seem to have been rather a nat
ural growth than human invention.
In all the melodies, observe wri-
ter, there is a certain likeness OF
rhythm with a national, l might say
temperamental difference of movement
and meter from the slow assured
major of the German to the wild plain
tive minor of the Scotch, characterized
by the short ascented notes or the
weirdness of the Hungarian with its
sudden changes.
That these old songs should have
embodied and retained the character
istics of the people among whom they
originated gives them an Importance
which their crude words and the ele-
mentary character of their melodies
scarcely seem to warrant. The words
often seem a mere meaningless jun-
BILE, the melody is always within the
easy compass of home voices. No
doubt both express, in some supernally
wise way. the one unalterable senti
ment of maternal love.
