cause it tells in six words the full
meaning Of the Wilson " shaped
label. Too much importance cannot
be attached to the value Of a disti1c-
tive label to the consumer. 1t Is a
simple, sure means of Identification.
1t guides the purchaser. 1t puts the
manufacturer on record, to stand or
fall on the quality Of his products. The
consumer will either accept or reject
by the label as he or she comes to
know labels and their value.
When you buy meats or other food
products bearing our Label you are
certainly entitled to know that you
are being treated fairly and squarely
and that the goods you buy are what
we have led you to expect them to be.
The Wilson label Is the symbol Of
our good name. 1t Is our guarantee

to you personally that Wilson pro-
ducts are clean, pure and wholesome

equal to that shown by your own
mother when she prepares the favor

AUSTRIANLOSS
OVER 100000
Two Thirds of Some Divisions
Are Wiped Out--Thous-
ands of Enemy Dead.

PARIS, June 25.-Austrian losses
total 100000 men, according to the
Secolo, of Milan. Certain enemy di-
visions lost two-thirds of their effect
ives.
A dispatch to the Matin from Turin
says that the rout of the Austrians is
complete and that the Piave has car
ried away many Austrian dead. Ital-
ian cavalry, it is added, has advanced
beyond the astern bank Of the river.
French newspapers continue to ac-
claim the Italian victory. Hope is ex-
pressed that Gen. Diaz, profting by
the Generalization of the enemy, will
not confne his fighting to local ac-
tions, but will strike out boldly into
an offensive and transform the Aus
trian retreat to the Piave into a de-
cisive victory.
Several newspapers wonder wheth-
er the Germans will rash help to the
Austrians by transferring forces
from the western front. L'Homme
Libre believes that such action IS
scarcely probable, as Emperor Will
liam and Won Hindenburg are con-
vinced they cannot obtain a decision
except on the front from Switzer-
land to the sea.

ROME, June 25.-In announcing
to his victorious army the repulse Of
the Austrians, Gen. Diaz, the Italian
commander-in-chief, says the fight
ing for the present is confined to To-
cal actions. He calls upon the army
to prepare for new trials. In an or
der Of the day to his officers and men
Gen Diaz says:
"The enemy, who with furious inn
petuosity used all means to penetrate
our territory, has been repulsed at all
points. His losses are very heavy.
His pride is broken. Glory to all COM
mands, all soldiers, all sailors"
"The country understood at once
that the barrier set up by our heroism
was unshakeable, and that our
strength is the purest Of immortal
vigor. Our people and our allies who
have so many glorious representatives
amongst us applaud our successes
against the ternal enemy.
"The great battle is for the time
being reduced to local actions.
"The army has deserved well Of the
country. We are sure Of our right
and Of the holiness of the cause we
are defending. New trials, which uns
doubtedly await us, will again show
the enemy that Italy has lost none
Of her faith, strength and abnegation.
"For Italy, for king, for civiliza-
ton, let us persevere in our sacred
duty.
