of those who are seeking to become
standard bearers for "each of . the
contesting element, we fully realize
the importance of selecting our can
didates very carefully. We need men
of brain and brawn, both in state and
nation, and in Our county of flees we
surely need men who will not make
meaningless promises to secure an of

Both Ends
( Producer and Consumer.)
Against
The; Middle
; '.The Pucker)
The consumer wants to pay a low price for meat.
The farmer wants to get a high price for cattle.
The packer stands between these conflicting'
demands, and finds : it impossible to completely
satisfy both. ,
. The packer has no control over the prices of live
stock or meat, and the most that can be expected
of him is that he keep the difference between the
two as low as possible. He does this successfully
by converting animals into meat and distributing
the meat at a minimum of expense, and at a profit
too small to be noticeable in the farmer's returns
for live stock or in the meat bill of the cons'umer.

and consumer be better satisfied? ,

Red blooded men of couraco are on
the firing line and there ore many
anemic, weaK, uiscourageu nieu uuu
women left at home.
At this time of the year most people
Buffer from a condition often called
Spring Fever. They feel tired, worn
out, before the day is half thru. They
may have frequent hendnches and
sometimes "pimply" or pale ekui.
Bloodless people, thin, anemic people,
those with pale cheeks and lips, who
have a poor appetite and feel that
tired, worn or feverish condition in
the springtime of the year, should try
fltnmfrpRfiiiiff tonic powers of a cood
alterative and blood purifier. Such a
one ia extracted from Blood root, Golden
Seal and Stone root, Queen's root
and Oregon Urnpe root, made up wan
chemically pure glycerine nnd without
the use of alcohol. This can be
obtained in ready-to-use tablet form in
sixty cent vials, as druggists have sold
it lor Ulty years 03- uucror iriuiuu u

tandard remedy that can bo obtained
in tablet or liquid form.
A good purge should be taken once
a week even by persons who have a
movement daily, in order to eliminate
matter which may remain nnd ennso a
condition of auto-intoxiciition, poison
