IT IIY TAKIXO
According to - lata reports Issued
by State and Federal health au
thorities the Spanish Influenza
epidemic I rapidly spreading-, to
all parts, of the country, and- It
new seems that practically every
state' In- tho Union will be ser
iously affected before it rung 1U
course.' '
It has not only become a great
and toirifylng menace to the public
health, : but, unless clieokod, it ' Is
apt to seriously affect the progress
of war wort; In all Its- various de
partments. Already the Shipping
Board has announced that ten per'
cent of, IU workers had been af
fected. ; ' f . " .', .. : .
The disease, has made IU great
est progress in the Bast, where:, It
has claimed. IU victims by the
thousands. Heports from other
ctious, howevor, are equally al
arming; and both civil -and military
authorities- have warned, the public
to take every precaution to -prevent
its. further spread. In many cities
schools, churches and theatres have
been closed and public gatherings
of nil kinds. forbidden.
Medical authorities . agroe that
peoplO' who-are weak; and rundown
are tho earliest victims of the" In
fluenza epidemic. If you find your
self tlced, weak and' losing flesh, or
If you are in a genorally run-down
condition, or it you catch cold eas
ily this warning, should be heeded
rromptly.; Vj)u are, really In' great
oarigev because . tho . germ of the
dlseuse Is vory catching and you
aro apt to . fall an easy victim It
you como In contact! with tho
germs. People who1 are well and
slong are not likely to contract
tho disouHo -hocnuse they are ablo
to- throw it off. Tho commonsense
way- to - keep ; r.rom- taking It Is
to fortify the system against at
tack by building up-the constitution.-
In other words -to use- tho old
ad.lgo "An ounce ot prevention
Is worth a pound of cure." And if
you are In a sub-normal condi
tion tho proper thlnj; to- do la to
L'ogln, Ininiediittuly to build up yoor
pi.wers 'of . re,?lslanco. To accom
plish this, nothing on earth will
Htrengtben you and build you up
like Tanlac, tho powerful recon

Do lou Think There is
No Competition?
If anyone thinka there is no competition amongst
- the big packers he ought to go through a day's
work with Swift & Company.
Let him begin at the pens when the livestock
comes in; let him try to buy a nice bunch of fat
steers quietly and at his own price without some
1 body's bidding against him.
Let him realize the scrupulous care taken at the
plant that not one thing is lost or wasted in order
that costs may be held to a minimum. '
Let him go up into the office where market
- reports are coming in, and reports of what other
'concerns are doing.
Let him watch the director of the Swift Refrig
erator! fleet, maneuvering it over the face of the
country like a fleet of battleships at sea.
Let him take a trip with a Swift & Company
salesman and try to sell a few orders of meat.
Let him stay at a branch house for an hour
or two and see the retail meat dealers drive their
bargains to the last penny as they shop around
among the packers': branch houses, the wholesale
dealers, and the local packing plants.
And then, when the day is over, let him have
half an hour in the accounting department, where
he can s-se for hims-lf on what small pr06ts the
business is dono. (Less than 4 cents on each dollar
of sales.)
If he still thinks there is no competition in the
meat businsss it will be because he wants to think so.
