Profits of the Packers

Hamilton Hargraves, in Leslie's. One of the large packers has pub licly declared.
 That it's profit for 1918 amounted to 2.o4 cents on each dollar of sales of ] beef, pork, mutton and their products. That its profits fo r1s1S amounted to less than 2 cents on each dollar of sales of meat and all other products That its earnings for 1918 on sales of beef, pork, mutton and their products ! amounted to 7.6 per cent of the capital employed.
 That these profits and earnings were | far below the limitations enforced by the United States food administration, | which allowed 21a per cent on sales and | per cent on capital employed. That out of every dollar received by l if in 1918 from sales of beef, pork. mutton and their products S5 cents was paid out to the live stock producer for | the live animal, 1926 cents paid out to | employees, railroads and others for la | bor, transportation and other expenses l of manufacture and distribution, and | t,at only 204 cents remained as profit. That during 1918 the average amount 1 thN it paid per head for cattle was 1 $92.s0 and the average amount that | it iNeived for meat per head of cattle | was lS1.45.
 That the average amount that it re- I ceived for by-products per head of cat 1 tie was $2206, that it's average ex- penses per head of cattle was $9.70. and | that it's average profit per head of cat | tie (not deducting interest," was $1.02. s That the amount it received for meat ! was therefore less than the amount it paid for the live animal.
 That it's by-products alone made up the difference and brought up the total receipts to cover expenses and yield 9 profit.
 That it's profit amounted to about A cent per pound of dressed meat, or, since only little over half of the
 live animal comes out as meat after the | dressing operation. to about X cent per pound of the live animal (not deduct ! Ing interest).
 These figures. which the federal trade commission has had every op- portunity to check from the packers
 own books. have never been contra

How to Shed a Rough,
 Chapped or Blotchy Skin

This is what you should do to shed a bad complexion: Spread evenly over the face. covering every inch of skim, thin layer or ordinary mercoIized wax. Let this stay on overnight, washing it off next morning. Ke- neat daily until your complexion is clear, soft and beautiful as a young girls This re- suit is inevitable, matter how soned or withered the complexion. The wax literally ahsorbs the thin film of surface skin, ex- posing the lovely young skin beneath. The process is entirely harmless, the old skin coming off so gently and gradually
 Mercolized is veritable wonder pled freckled or sallow skin. It IS obtarn- able of course at any drug store and one ounce usually suffices.

from California whose engagement to

the denial was merely to keep the
gossips quiet at a time when matri-

Now that the war is over and won and
the General is coming home. they say
that the announcement will not be

for his son Joe, and in a few months
they were married in accordance with
some weird gypsy ceremony. Two
years ago, the girl related, she bore
the son a child, whom the gypsies still

band roved all over the South in a
