| Bridging the Gap
From Steer to Steak
Live stock is raised on the
farms and ranches of the West.
Meat is eaten in the large cities
of the East, and by our boys in
France — thousands of miles
The day of transporting live
animals from ranch to seaboard
and overseas has passed. There
was too much waste. The mod-
ern packer locates his large and
specialized plants in the produc-
ing regions. He ships the dressed
beef in refrigerator cars,
holds it in his own refrigerated
branch warehouses until deliv-
ered to the retailer.
to foreign ports, he
transfersthe meat torefrigerated
By means of his nation-wide organ-
ization the modern packer maintains a
continuous flow of meats to all parts
of the country, sc that each retailer
gets just the quantity and quality of
meat his trade demands, and at the
Swift & Company recently shipped
1,000 carloads of meat products in one
week to our Armies and to the Allies.
Bridging the gap from ranch to con-
sumer can be done successfully—and
at low unit costs and profits—only by
large business organizations.
Swift & Company's profit on meat,
always so small as to have practically
no effect on prices, is now limited by
the Government to about. 2 cents on
each dollar of sales.
His Medal.
The newest private in No. 1 squad
stood at a rigid attention while the
captain started down the line on his
first weekly inspection.
The captain stopped.
“What,” he asked, pointing to an
expensive medal on the bulging
bosom of the newest private, is
that?” ‘
“That,” said the newest private
proudly, “is the medal our cow won
at the country fair last year.”—Stars

A medicinal preparation that has real

recommended by those who have been |
benefited, to those who are in need of it. |
A prominent druggist says, “Take for

No other kidney remedy that I know of

According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of Dr.
Kilmers’ Swamp-Root is due to the fact
that, so many people claim, it fulfils al-
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments, corrects ur-
inary troubles and neutralizes the urie
acid which causes rheumatism.
