gone thought of a bottle of Chamberlain S
Collie aed Diarrhoea Remedy in the cup

gan to improve at once. By the time the
doctor arrived he was out Of danger"

Can Sleep In Latest
Paris Waists Because
They Are Tattooed On

Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Chicago, April 3.--One can sleep
in the latest Paris waist. if the
hectic and excited dispatches are to
be believed. In fact one has to
sleep in it, for it is tattooed on.
The latest Paris modes provide a
sort of girdle, a strap or two, leav-
ing large expanse of cleaning
back, shoulders and arms. Upon
this fine. pink and white surface
various lacy designs are tattooed.
The idea is to have the gown, or
what passes for gown, made with
out sleeves or front-that is not
much of front-or back. Then the
tattooing expert is called in and
fixes up snappy and original de-
sign. =.
Chicago women, those who would
discuss the craze at all, were quite
positive it would gain no foothold
here. "Tattooing would make us
look like pack of savages,' one OF
them said. why, the theaters
would have to ban evening gowns.
The men would all be so busy try
ing to decipher the tattooing that
they would not see the show.
American women are too self-con-
scious to ever adopt that fad"

LARGE PER CENT OF
FOOD AFFECTED BY
PACKERS DIVORCE
Decree Dissolving Firms Will
Have Bearing on One-F Fourth
OF Refrigerator Tonnage.

Chicago, April 3.-The federal
court decree dissolving the packers
will affect about one-fourth OF the
total tonnage OF unrelated food
articles carried in the packers re-
friperator cars, Richard O'Hara,
transportation expert of Swift < Co.,
testified on cross-examinatlon by
Clifford Thorne Of the National
Wholesale Grocers' association in
the hearing before. the Interstate
Commerce Commission here.
Mr.. Thorne brought out that ap-
proximately 26 per cent of the total
tonnage in refrigerator cars was not
fresh meat or packing house prod
ucts, and that only E per cent OF this
tonnage would be affected by the de-
cree obtained by Attorney General
Palmer. The figures were based on
the grocers' contention that lard
substitutes are not packing house
products, as maintained by the pack
ers. About per cent of the total
tonnage is lard substitutes.
Asked if Swift & Co. would object
to the entering of an order barring
canned goods and fish from the
company's cars, counsel for the
company said they would not ap-
prove such an order, but would
not oppose it. George P. Boyle,
counsel for Wilson & Co., de-
clared that his firm and the 1nde-
pendent Packing company would
seriously object to any order that
would prevent them shipping any
grocery items or other food prod
ucts in their cars"
The hearing, which has been in
progress for week, was adjourned
and will be continued a week later
in Washington. ....

Secretary Meredith
Conducts Hearing on
Grading Of Wheat

Chicago, April 3.-More than 200
farmers, commission men and mill
ers attended hearing conducted by
Secretary Meredith, of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, on alleged un-
fairness of specifications for wheat
grades. Farmers asserted that
specifications for number one wheat,
in which most of the trading is done
at present, called for a grade so per-
feet that it was difficult to fill orders.
Harry N. Owen, who represented
spring wheat growers, in Minnesota
and North and South Dakota, read
a list of notifications requested by
the states he represented. Mr.. Owen
said farmers were becoming discour-
aged because of high grain stand
ards.
A. L. Goetzmann of La Crosse,
Wis, president Of the National
Millers' Federation, charged that
the present grading of spring wheat
was low.
