AVOIDED AN

Canton, Ohio.—‘‘1 suffered from a

pound, advised me
to try it before sub-
mitting to an opera-
tion. Itrelievedma
from my troubles
go I can do my house work without any
difficu'ty. 1 advise any woman who is
afflicted with female troubles to give
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com-
pound a trial and it will do as much for
them.’’— Mrs. Marie Boyp, 1421 Bth
8t., N. E., Canton, Ohio.
Sometimes there are serious condi
tions where a hospital operation is the
only alternative, but on the other hand
so many women have been cured by this
famous root and herb remedy, Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, after
doctors have said that an operation was
necessary — every woman who wants
to avoid an operation should give it a
fair trial before submitting to such a
trying ordeal.
If complications exist, write to Lydia
E. Pinkham Medicine Co., Lynn, Mass,,
for advice. The result of many years
experience is at your service.

What Determines Meat and
Live-Stock Prices?
Some stock men still think that Swift &
Company —and other big pockers—can pay
as little for live-stock as they wish.
Some consumers are still le
that the packers can charge
dressed meat as they
This 1s not true. These prices are fixed by
a law of human nature as old as human
nature itself —the law of supply and demand.
When more people want meat than there
is meat to be had, the scramble along the line
to get it for them sends prices up. When
there is more meat than there are people who
want it, the scramble all along the
rid of it within a few days, while
fresh, sends prices down.
When prices of meat go up, Swift &
Company not only can pay the producer
more, but has to pay him more, or some
other packer will.
Similarly, when prices recede all down the
line Swift & Company cannot continue to pay
the producer the same prices as before, and
still remain in the packing business.
All the packer can do is to keep the expense
of turning stock into meat at a minimum,
so that the consumer can get as much as
possible for his money, and the producer as
much as possible for his live-stock.
Thanks to its splendid plants, modern
methods, branch houses, car routes, fleet of
refrigerator cars, experience and organization,
Swift & Company is able to pay for live
cattle 90 per cent of what it receives for beef
and by-products, and to cover expense of
production and distribution, as well as its
profit (a small fraction of a cent per pound),
out of the other 10 per cent.
