Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local app lcations, as they cannot reach the dis
eased portion of the ear. There Is only *»ne way to
cure deafness. and that Is by constitutional remedies
Deafness Is caused by an Inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube Is Inflamed you have a rumbling sound or im
perfect hearing.and when It is entirely closed. Deaf
ness Is the remit, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out anil this tube restored to Its normal condi
tion, bearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused by i atarrb. which Is nothing
but an Inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

Tumors Conquered
Without Operations
Unqualified Success of Lydia E. PinKham’s
Vegetable Compound In Cases of Mrs. Fox
and Miss Adams.
One of the greatest triumphs of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is
the conquering of woman’s dread
enemy. Tumor.
So-called “ wandering pains” may
come from its early stages, or the pres
ence of danger may be made manifest
by excessive monthly periods accom
panied by unusual pain extending from
the abdomen through the groin and
thighs.
If you have mysterious pains, if there
are indicationsof in (lamination, ulcera
tion or displacement, don’t wait for
time to confirm your fears and go
through the horrors of a hospital opera
tion; secure Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege
table Compound at once and begin
its use and write Mrs. Pinkham of
Lynn, Mass., for advice.
Bead these strong letters from grate
ful women who have been cured:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— (First Letter.)
“In looking over your book I see that your
medicine cures Tumors. I have been to a
doctor and he tells me I have a tumor. I
will be more than grateful if you can helo
me. as I do so dread an operation.”—Fannie
I). Fox, Bradford, Pa.
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— (Second Letter.)
“ I take the liberty to congratufcte you on
the success I have had with your wonderful
medicine.
“ Eighteen months ago my periods
Etopped. Shortly after I felt so badly I sub
mitted to a thorough examination by a phy
sician, and was told that I had a tumor
and would have to undergo an operation.
“ I soon after read one of your advertise
ments and decided to give Evdia E. Pink
ham’ s Vegetable Compound a trial. After
taking five bottles as directed, the tumor is
entirely gone. I have again been examined
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compoum
r 1l—
by the physician and he says I have no signs
of a tumor now. It has also brought my
periods around once more; and I am
entirely well. I shall newer be without a bot
tle of Lydia Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
in the house.”—Fannie D. Fox, Bradford, Pa.
Another Case of Tumor Cnred
by Lydia E Piukham’s Vegeta
ble Compound.
Dear Mrs. linkham:—
“ About three years ago I had intense pain
in my stomach, with cramps and raging
headaches. The doctor prescribed for me,
but hading that I did not get any better he
examined me and, to my surprise, declared
1 had a tumor.
“I felt sur. ■ that it meant mv death warrant,
and w as very disheartened. I spent hundreds
of dollars in doctoring, but the tumor kept
growing, till the doctor said that nothing but
an operation would save me. Fortunately I
corresponded with my aunt in one of the »w
England States, who advised me to try Lydia
E. PinkLam'sVegetableCoinpound before sub
mitting to an operation, and I at once started
taking a regular treatment, finding to my
great relief that my general health began to
improve, and after three months I noticed
that the tumor had reduced in size. I kept
on taking the Compound, and in ten months
it had entirely disappeared without an oper
ation, and using no medicine but Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and words
fail to express how grateful 1 am for the good
it ha« done me.”—Miss Luella Adams, Colon
nade Hotel, Seattle, "Wash.
Such unquestionable testimony
proves the value of Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, and should give
confidence and hope to every sick
woman.
Mrs. Pinkham invites aU ailing
women to write to her at Lynn, Mass.,

SPOILED THE FOND FAREWELL.
Cruel Interruption That Saddened
Love’s Young Dream.
Prof. G. A. Hill of the National ob
servatory vrs describing the duties
of an astionomical corps during an
eclipse.
‘The eclipse,” he said, “may only
last five minutes. Each man in the
party has a certain line of work map
ped out for him during these precious
minutes. One man makes hurried
pencil sketches. Another man pho
tographs. A third man takes observa
tions, while a fourth jot* down his
remarks.
“And so it goes. Ar, astronomical
corps during an eclipse is a very busy
body. An interruption would be at
unwelcome to it as—as—”
Prof. Hill smiled.
“An interruption would be as unwel
come to it as it once was to a young
friend of mine in Elizabeth.
“My friend, according to the story,
was calling on his sweetheart, who
lived on Elizabeth's outskirts.
“As the young man was taking
leave for the night, his voice, as he
stood on the piazza, rose passionately
in the still air.
“ ‘Just one,’ he said. ‘Just one.’
"Then the young girl's mother in
terrupted, calling from her bedroom
window:
“ ‘Just one? No, it ain't quite that
yet. But it’s close on to 12, so I
think ve'd better be goin’ just the
same.”
V HY HE WANTED THE RECIPE.
Ingredients of Mince Pie Made Sub
ject of Bet.
“Once, when I was a reporter.” said
David Belaseo at a holiday dinner, “I
spent iwc days with a gang of tramps
in order to go* material for an article
on tramp life
“These tramps were a merry lot.
They had as many stories to tell as
the end man of a minstrel show. The
excellent mince pie that we have just
been eating reminds me of a mince
pie episode +old by one of the wan
derers.
“He said that a friend of his. one
cold day in January, knocked at the
kitchen doer of a farmhouse.
“ ‘Well,’ said the farmer’s wife.
‘You here again?’
“ ‘Yes, ma’am,’ said the tramp re
spectfully. ‘I want to know, ma'am,
it you’ll be kind enough to give me
the recipe for that mince pie that 1
had here yesterday?’
“ ‘Well, the idea 1 ’ cried the farm
er’s wife. ‘Land sakes. man. what do
you want that recipe for?’
“ ‘To settle a bet,’ replied the
tramp. ‘Mv pardner says you use
three cups of Portland cement to one
of molasses, but I claim it's only two
and a half.’”
Almost Sublime.
“Yes,” said Pa Nuritch, as he reread
his son's letter. "I believe Jonathan
is goin’ to be a real poet, blame me
if I don’t. I’m—wants ano.her him
dred, too. Broke, he says, because
he has had to help some of the other
boys who are tryin’ to work their
way through. It seems to me more'e
hail the fellers at that college must
be workin’ their way through, accord
in’ to the amount of help Jonathan has
to give ’em. Oh, well. I'm glad he’s
doin’ it. I was a poor boy myseil
once.”
“But what makes you think he’s go
in’ to be a poet, pa?” asked Joanthan’s
eager mother.
“Why, he says here, right at the be
ginnin’ of his letter: ‘Yestere'en 1
did possess a “buck,” but, ah, ’t has
went, and ere I send you this I e'en
must scare up one more cent.’ By
George, ma. that's cornin’ pretty close
to bein’ sublime.”
Recognized His Step.
Gen. Horace Porter was talking
about a French artist.
“The man is talented, and a good
conversationalist,” he said, “but he is
too gushing. He is oversvmpathetic.
In his desire to be agreeable he goes
too far.
“Perhaps I can best explain what !
mean by a little story—the story of a
young girl.
“This young girl’s sweetheart said
to her one evening:
“ ‘Were you aware that I passed
your house last night?’
“ ‘Of course, I was,’ she said. ‘Do
you think I would not know your
step?’
“But he, at this, grew grave and
distrait, for he had passed in a cab.”
Via Crucis.
“The vision of dawn is leisure,
But the truth of day is toil.”
The sun comes up like a great, red rose.
The perfume over the wide world blows.
And O. to work in the pathways fair
With the rose trimmed beds and scented
air,
And far at the garden s end a nook
With You and a poet’s dream set book!
The sun goes down like a great red fire.
And dies in ashes of vain desire.
For my pathway lay outside the wall
That girdled You and the roses tall.
And my footprints show a deeper red
And a crown of thorn is on my head!
Yet the vision stays with me all dav
Sweet solace along the rough highway.
Till the nails of Toil and spear of Want.
Grief’s bitter cup and the jeer and taunt
Are touched by Sleep, and You softl
glide
Where I, with the dream, am crucified!
—Clarence Urmy, in Smart Set.
Lava Increases Mountain.
Mt. Matutu, on the island of Savaii,
Samoan group, has covered thirty
square miles of land around it with
lava, and a stream twelve miles wide
is flowing into the sea. The lava is
thrown up 1,200 feet and, at latest ac
counts, had increased the hight of the
mountain, since August 21, 1905, by
3,000 feet
Has Few Visitors.
Fanny Y. Cory, one of the foremost
American illustrators of child life,
lives near Helena, Montana, and she
describes her home as "just a little
yellow and white dot on the shore of
a big open lake, where a few water
fowl and the potman twice a week
are about the only visitors.”

of the Philippine government. The

Cats That Eat Olives.
A woman in Philadelphia has re
cently discovered that her six cats
are passionately fond of olives. She
says they will leave milk or fish or
any of the foods that cats are sup
posed to love if any one offers them
olives. Although they are an acquir
ed taste with human beings, cats
seem to take to them naturally, and
she found that the cats in the houses
of her friends seemed to be quite as
fond of them as were her own-pets.
In a Berry Bog.
The cranberry season is eagerly
awaited by the poorer classes of Cape
Cod, whole families journeying to the
bog with provisions and cooking uten
sils for an extended picnic. The work
is easily learned, and a child of five
can easily pick four measures a day,
which means an earning of forty
cents. An adult picker can gather
from thirty to forty measures a day,
which is good wages.
“Old Man” Queerest of Cacti.
Stranger looking objects perhaps
never grew on earth than the cactus
which is called the "Old Man.” This
plant, instead of being covered with
the ordinary pickles, is adorned with
a mass of fine white hair, which re
sembles nothing so much as the sil
vered locks of an elderly man. A fine
specimen of the Old Man in the plant
kingdom, as among the human race,
is a thing to evoke much admiration.
Imitations Close to Nature.
Imitation soap, looking exactly like
the real article, but made of clay,
grease, scent and a little pink dye,
is of Chinese origin, and the native
clerks in China and Indian carry their
pencils behind their ears in imitation
of their Caucasion bosses, yet the
pencils contain no lead, since they
are carried only for ornament, the
brush being used for all actual work.
What Man Hates; What He Loves.
He hates a woman who keeps him
waiting. He expects his wife to wait
at home for him all day, but he
chafes if he has to wait for her five
minutes while she is dressing.
But he loves the woman who is
coldest to him. the man wtio can whip
him in a fight, the dog that he has to
keep muzzled and the lobster that
disagrees with him.—Exchange.

Swift & Company
Year 1905 Sales.
TTie total distributive sales for 1905
exceeded
$200,000,000.
This total is realized from the sale
of fresh meats (beef, mutton and
pork), provisions, produce (poultry,
butter and eggs), soaps, glues, oils,
bones, fertilizers, feathers, casings,
hides, wools, pelts and other by-prod
ucts derived from cattle, sheep, hogs
and poultry.
Margin of Profit.
The industry is operated on a mar
gin of less than 2 cents to each dol
lar of sales. Swift & Co. do not sell
at retail. Their entire output is sold
at wholesale to many thousands of
dealers in various parts of the world.
There are hundreds of local slaughter
ers throughout the United States,
who buy their live stock in competi
tion with the packer doing an inter
state and international business. Like
wise the packer must sell in compe
tition with the local slaughterers.
There are no secret processes in the
industry, no complicated and expen
sive factories, and as live stock can
be purchased in almost every hamlet
and city, and the preparation of
meats is simple in the extreme, local
slaughtering will long remain a fac
tor in the production of fresh meats
and provisions.
Economic Advantages.
The large packing houses win, how
ever, always have these advantages:
Locations at the chief live stock cen
ters, with the opportunity to buy the
best live stock; manufacturing in
large quantities, at the minimum of
expense; utilization of all waste mate
rial; refrigeration; mechanical appli
ances; highly efficient business man
agement These advantages are re
flected in the quality of the packer’s
output, a quality that has reached its
highest development in the products
bearing the name and brand of
“Swift”
Purchasing Live Stock.
The principal live stock centers are
Chicago, Kansas City, Omaha, St i
Louis, St. Joseph, St. Paul anc. Fort !
Worth. The same methods of pur
chasing cattle, sheep and hogs prevail
at all cities. At Chicago, which is
the largest market, there are about
two hundred and fifty buyers, repre
senting packers, local slaughterers in
various cities and exporters. Cf this
number, less than a score are employ
ed by Swift £ Company.
The farmer ships his live stock to
Chicago, consigns them to a commis
sion firm at the Union Stock Yards,
who sees that they are unloaded and
put in pens. Then the buyers inspect
them, make their offers to the com
mission dealer, who accepts or rejects
as his judgment dictates. All buying
must be finished at 3 o'clock each day,
and the buyer must pay spot cash.
If the commission man has no satis
factory offers, he can hold his stock
over to the next day. He gets his
commission from the farmer, and nat
urally strives to get the highest pos
sible price for his client.
Wholesale Distributing Houses.
A wholesale distributing house is a
giant refrigerator, but instead of
shelves there are trolley rails, from
which are suspended hooks to hang
the carcasses. Some of the houses
cost as much as a hundred thousand
dollars to build and equip. As a. rule
they are of pressed brick, the insides
being lined—floor, walls and ceiling—
with highly polished hardwood. The
floors are covered daily with fresh
sawdust, and all are kept rpotlessly
clean. There are over three hundred
of these wholesale houses in various
cities of the United States, and the
public is always welcome to visit
them.
Packing Plants.
All the Swift & Company plants are
ocated at the great live stock mar
kets, in the heart of the great agri
cultural sections, where can be pur
chased the finest grades of cattle,
sheep and hogs. We have seven iiack
ng plants, employing at each from
wo to eight thousand persons.
The following gives the locations
ind sizes of the different plants:

Employes.
The total cumber of persons em
ployed in all the Swift packing plants
and branch houses aggregate over
26,000 persons. Conditions for em
ployes in the various manufacturing
and operating departments is contin
ually improving with the construction
of new buildings and the installation
of new and up-to-date equipmenL
sanitation ana Hygiene.
The housewife makes no greater ef
fort to keep her kitchen clean than
we do to keep in sanitary and hygienic
condition our abattoirs. They are
thoroughly scrubbed at the close of
each day’s operations, and automatic
appliances are used wherever possi
ble in order to eliminate the personal
handling of meats. Rigid rules gov
erning these points are strictly en
forced; laxity means dismissal.
Visitors Always Welcome.
No other industry In the world
gives such a cordial welcome to visit
ors as Swift & Co. We keep open
house the year around, and maintain
a corps of specially trained guides,
with special elevators and rest rooms.
In one year we have entertained over
a quarter of a million of men and
women; in one day—Grand Army
Day, 1901—we entertained 23,000.
Among our visitors have been ambas
sadors from foreign governments,
prince®, noblemen and distinguished
citizens from all lands and eminent
folks from every state in the Union.
We wish to familiarize the public
with our methods, and the best way
to do that is to let the public see for
itself. We have no secret processes
or methods in any department.
Swift’s Premium Hams and Bacon.
Swift’s Premium Hams and Bacon
are more widely and favorably known
than any other brand. Their popular*
ity is due to the uniform quality and
flavor of the meat, and to their fln»

rind, “Swift’s Premium U. S. Inspect
ed," and wrapped in cheesecloth anti
white parchment paper.
