What Determines Meat and
Live-Stock Prices?
Some stock men still think that Swift &
Company—and other bi^ packers—can pay
as little for live-stock as they wish.
Some consumers are still led to believe
that the packers can charge as much for
dressed meat as they wish.
This is 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 ail along the line to get
rid of it within a few days, while it is still
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.

Get In the habit of drinking a
glass of hot water before
breakfast.
We’re not here long, so let’s make
our stay agreeable. Let us live well,
eat well, digest well, work well, sleep
well, and look well, what a glorious
condition to attain, and yet, how very
easy it is if one will only adopt the
morning inside bath.
Folks who are accustomed to feel
dull and heavy when they arise, split
ting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul
tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach,
can, instead, feel as fresli as a daisy
by opening the sluices of the system
each morning and (lushing out the
whole of tire internal poisonous stag
nant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick, oi
well, should, each morning, before
breakfast, drink a glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the
stomach, liver and bowels the previous
day’s indigestible waste, sour bile
and poisonous toxins; thus cleansing
sweetening and purifying the entirt
alimentary canal before putting more
food into the stomach. The action ol
hot water and limestone phosphate or
an empty stomach is wonderfully in
vigorating. It cleans out all the sou
fermentations, gases, waste ant
acidity and gives one a splendit
j appetite for breakfast. While you art
I enjoying your breakfast the wate:
i and phosphate is quietly extractim
I a large volume of water from tin

! The millions of peoplo who art
bothered with constipation, blliou
spells, stomach trouble; others wn
have sallow skins, blood disorders an
sickly complexions are urged to get
quarter pound of limestone phospliat
from the drug store. This will cot
very little, hut is sufficient to mak
anyone a pronounced crank on th

There is only one wray to cure ca
tarrhal deafness, and that, is by a
constitutional remedy. Catarrhal
deafness is caused by an inflamed
condition of the mucous lining of the
: Eustachian Tube. When this tube is

or imperfect hearing, and when it is

‘ suit. Un’ess the inflammation car.
