The sergeant was with Lea on the
trip to the castle. He was one of the
few soldiers in the American expedi-
tionary force who got within a stones
throw of the Kaiser. He returned
from France recently with the 10th
ment Colonel Lea commanded in
France.
When the automobile in which the
trip was made was stopped by the
castle guards, the sergeant noticed
several fallen trees which had not
been shorn of their limbs. He twisted
a branch from one. Later he was ad-
Vlsed that the Kaisef himself cut
down that and other trees for pastime.

Swift & Company

Swift & Company has become one of
the large businesses of the world through

mites for usefulness which go with such

right to answer:
To promote the production of live stock and
perishables and increase the food supply
To reach more people with more and better
meat
To make a fair competitive profit, in order to
reimburse the $4,000 shareholders for the
use Of their capital and to provide for the
future development Of the business;
To reduce to minimum the costs of preparing
and distributing meat and to divide the
benefits of efficiency with producer and
consumer;
To live and let live, winning greater business
only through greater usefulness with injury
to nothing but incompetency nef1ciencv,
and waste to deal justly fairly and frankly
with all mankind.

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 thia
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 8 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 SUBJ
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
SO 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
hshing attest to its virtue.
