Cudahys Plan
Cattle Killing
by Electricity
Employe at Omaha Plant Per
fects Hivnane and More Eco
nomical Method for
Slaughter.
Killing cattle by electricity is to be
started soon in Omaha by the Cud
ahy Packing company to replace the
present system of clubbing the ani
mals over the head.
Thomas J. Byrnes, of the Cudahy
company, lias worked for seven years
to perfect the Invention which is ex
pected to revolutionize an important
phase of the packing industry and to
save vast amounts of money annu
ally.
Byrnes' experiments have been
kept secret and his equipment has
been hidden. During recent experi
ments however, several hundred cat
tle were successfully killed by elec
tricity.
Chicago officials of ths Cudahy
company have been in Omaha to
v iew the?e experiments, and the
company has given all possible aid
to the inventor, he says.
Until his final patent papers ar
rive from ashlngton Byrnes re
luses to discuss his invention in de
tail.
Many Merits.
The electrical method has many
merits, among which are the follow
ing:
It is more humane, because the
cattle are killed Instantly; the pres
ent method of clubbing them some
times requires several blows.
It Is more rapid, And aa many as
200 cattle can be electrocuted in an
hour.
It leaves the hides of the cattle In
tact, whereas the present method
often damages them, and lessens their
value. The electric current used Is
practically negligible.
Those In close touch with the prog
ress of the invention are convinced
that it will be adopted by every large
packing plant In the world. Arrange
ments for putting it in use in the
14 Cudahy plants in the United
States and Canada are already under
way.
Humane Society to Approve.
The National Humane society,
which recently offered a large cash
prize for more humane method of
killing cattle. Is expected to approve
this Invention.
Byrnes, the inventor. Is assistant
general superintendent of motive
power and construction of all Cudahy
plants. His home and headquarters
are in Omaha and he has carried on
all hla experiments here. He is con
vinced that his appliance will even
tually be used for killing sheep ar.d
hogs, as well as cattle.

Bluffs Mayor Says “Organization”
Invited Him to Secret Meeting
Support of a 'TOO per cent Ameri
can ” organization, "sufficiently
strong in numbers to assure victory,"
would be pledged to Mayor Lou
Zurmuehlen, candidate for re-elec
tion at the city election, March 31,
if he would agree to attend Its meet
ing In order to satisfy himself as to
the character of the group and then
accept its support.
This proposition was extended to
the mayor in his office Monday by a
Council Bluffs business man, repre
senting himself as an envoy of the
"organization," name of which he did
not mention, Zurmuehlen stated’ yes
terday.
The representative stated further,
according to the mayor, that If the
pledge of support Is not accepted by
Zurmuehlen, the organization expects
to place an Independent candidate In
the field for the city election, op
posing both Zurmuehlen and Harding
in the mayorality race.
The mayor left yesterday afternoon
for Dee Moines with Alderman John
Langstrom upon municipal business
and will not return until Thursday
morning, so it would be Impossible for
him to attend the meeting if he de
Bired to do so.
A "fofmal invitation.” which the
business man said would be tendered
Zurmuehlen for the meeting tonight,
had not made Its appearance up to
the time the mayor took his train
yesterday afternoon.
Claims made by this same repre
sentative to the mayor, that this or
ganization was responsible for the
surprisingly large vote polled by De
Vere Watson, one of the five republic
an candidates for the mayoralty
nomination In the primary on March
S, were denied by Watson yesterday
afternoon.
“We would like to have you attend
our meeting Wednesday night," the
mayor says his visitor told him.
“If you are satisfied with us, we
will disclose to you a secret door in
the panel of the wall, through which
you may obtain access to a second
meeting, where we may come to some
understanding with respect to your
support in |he next election.
"On the other hand, if you choose
to decline our support, we intend to
place an independent candidate in
the race to oppose you."

Says We Must Keep Feet
Dry, Avoid Exposure,
Eat No Sweets.
Stay off the damp ground, avoid
exposure, keep feet dry, eat no
sweets of any kind for a while,
drink lots of water and above all
take a spoonful of Jad Salts occa
sionally to help keep down uric and
toxic acids.
Rheumatism is caused by poison
toxins, called acids, which are gen
erated in the bowels and absorbed
into the blood. It Is the function of
the kidneys to filter this acid from
the blood and cast It out In the urine
The pores of the skin are also a
means of fre ing the blood of this
impurity. In "lamp and chilly, cold
weather the akin pores are closed,
thus forcing the kidneys to do double
work; they become weak and sluggish
and fail to eliminate this poison,
which keeps accumulating and circu
lating through the system, eventually
settling in the joints and muscles,
causing stiffness, soreness and pain,
called rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts; put a tablespoon,
ful In a glass of water and drink be
fore breakfast each morning for a
week. This is helpful to neutralise
acidity, remove body waste, also to
stimulate the kidneys, thus helping
to rid the blood of these rheumatic
poisons.
Jad Salts Is Inexpensive, and Is
made from the acid of grapes and
lemon Juice, combined with Uthla, and
Is used with excellent results by
thousands of folks who are subject
to rheumatism.

noying kidney irregularities.

diuretic. Begin using Doan's Pills. Doan's
