Dr. Peters of the state farm, who has nen :n CI 1 ago sjs sting In the In vest Ig it on ' if the O'hUaao packing houses, said today the published accounts of the conditions of :he packing houses had been greatly exag (erated. The Investigation, he said, proved :onoluslvely the stories afloat were abso ute.ly falae. - "Tils talk about the managers selling ;attle that had died enroute to Chicago for people to eat," said Dr. Peters, "Is ab- I olutely false In every , particular. .We In-, vestuft lethal ItharOaghly. WJven ja. steer dies enroufV'to' the packing house It Is sent to the fertiliser department and made Into fertiliser.' "The stories of rats running over meat and gnawing '11' is absolutely false. In the first place the meat Is hung out of the way of rata and It would be Impossible for them to get at the .meat unless they hang by tlirlr talis."- Another thing, the packing house owners are In the business for the money they can make out of It. The man ager of every deportment Is trying to make his department pay. Should a choice piece of beef be gnawed by rats it would ruin It and no manuger would permit such a con dition of affairs to exist. He couldn't af ford to. We failed to find any canned chicken that had been spoiled. "In my opinion, within a few years the packing houses , in Chicago will be 'the finest, In the world.

I should change my food for breakfast at least. " 'Breakfast,' I said, 'why, I never have any appetite for breakfast, there's nothing I would relish' She said, 'Did you ever try Grape-Nuts? We ua Urn food every morning and find it Just what we relish and we know our health is better since we have eaten it.' "This was news to me, so that very day I got two packages and ate only Grape-Nuts, and cream or milk for two weeks at breakfast and became so fond of the food I soon found myself eating it for supper also. The result was my headaches lessened quickly and finally disappeared, and for the past two years 1 have only had a couple and I have gained about 30 pounds in weight. I can't get along without my Grape-Nuts and cream for breakfast at least. "My husband is Just as fond of the food as I am, and he makes his en tire breakfast on it, and today I. looked over our old grocery orders Just for fun and found we have nsed 611 packages of Grape-Nuts food since we began eating it three years ago. My husband's health has improved wonderfully, for he used to be a frail little man as white ss a ghost, but now he has fine appetite, good color, and has rounded out in flesh nicely."

Morrow of Mead was made chairman and J. C. Hamilton of Wahoo secretary. Delegates to state, congressional and senatorial conventions were chosen, a new central committee ap pointed and resolutions adopted. Hon. E. Rosewater and Attorney General Norrls Brown were present and made able ad dresses. The following resolutions were adopted : We, the republicans of Saunders county, In convention assembled, do hereby declare that we are proud of the political party that has shown Itself capable of faith fully conducting the affairs of this great nation. We heartily endorse the admin istration of President Roosevelt and we heartily commend the congress of the I'nited States and delegation In congress from this state on the success of their en deavors to frame and pass such laws that shall banish graft from our country and establish Just and fair railroad rates be tween all shippers and for the efforts put forth to compel the companies engaged in tne munufaciure of food products u use proper efforts to give the consumers cleanly and wholesome productions. We commend tjovernor Mickey and State Treasurer Mortensen for the decided stand they have taken as members of the. State Board of Equalization toward securing a more equitable assessment of the railroad property of Nebraska. We believe that the action of the Burlington and I'nlon Pa cific Railroad companies in refusing to pay their full and Just share of their taxes In Nebraska is wholly unwarranted and with out cause, and we most heartily commend Attorney General Norrls Brown for his untiring seal in prosecuting the cases In court In behalf of the state against the said railroad companies and various other trusts and combinations that have been fattening on the taxpayers of this state. We believe that a free pasa Is a bribe and we favor the enactment of state and na tional laws thut will prohibit any railroad or oilier corporation from transporting free the property or person of any public official or any other person except It be an employe of said corporation in their actual service. We favor the udoptlon of the proposed amendment to the state constitution pro viding for an elective state railroad com mission duly empowered to prohibit rebates, discriminations and special rates to privi leged corporations, persons or localities.
