TUESDAY, JANUARY 21, 1919. 8Bsese89B8eses8i Mother's Pet Needs a Cascaret r' Swift & Company 1918 Earnings How They Affected You During the twelve months ended Nov. 2, 1918 (its fiscal year), Swift & Company transacted the largest volume of business on the smallest margin of profit in its history. Profits of the meat business under regulations of the United States Food Administration were limited to a maximum of 9 per cent on capital employed but not to exceed cents per dollar of sales. Swift & Company in the regulated departments earned 7.57 per cent on capital employed and 2.04 cents per dollar of sales, out of which had to be paid interest on borrowed money and taxes. Here is how these earnings affect you. Live-Stock Raiser Swift & Company killed 14,948,000 head of livestock, which weighed , alive, 4,971,500,000 pounds. Swift & Company made a profit of only a ' fraction of a cent per pound liveweight Consumer The sales of our meat departments were 4,012,579,000 pounds on which' our earn ings were less than yA cent per pound. , The per capita consumption of meat in the United States is given as 170 pounds. If a consumer purchased only Swift & Company's products, he would contribute only about 78 cents aryear, or lH cents a week as profit to the company. Swift & Company, U. S. A.

Judge ilunt cited no case tiliat sustained his decision. In the district court the wa ter company denied that the city char ter gave it authority to make the con tract with tho water company which it did. Macey moved that he be authoriz ed to petition for a re-hearing. It was moved that the city attorney be au thorized to tako the ease before tho court of appeala iby brief. The motion was opposed and the vote ehowed a no; which was broken by the mayor voting in the affirmative. North gflem Question Game TJp A good deal of interest and discus sion was provoked by a petition from a commit tee of iorth Salem residents, asking tho council to join with them in civil suits of injunction against the state fair board to restrain them from further diverting the natnral flow of wnter across the fair irrouuda into a ditch on tho south side, whereby the flood water at that section was turned westward and resulted in spreading out all over that part of town, flooding basements and cutting across roadways City Engineer Mtott stated that he nad investigated tho section and had made a relief map showing that the original and natural flow of the water was across the fair ground, and also testified that the storm sewers in that section were insufficient to take eare of the diverted water. In hia opinion: it would cost the city from $15,000 to $20,000 to lay a sower dram that would carry off the wator. A motion that the city join with the residents in enjoining the ifair board from further diverting the flow of wator was car ried. The ordinances drawn by Chief Var ney with regard to the violations of the liquor law, and with regard to tell ing cigarettes to minora, were read the J. W. Marooney for the two year term, and John J. Roberts for the one year term. City Library Board As the city library board for the coming year the mayor appointed A. A. Lee, II. II. Olinger and 1). W. Eyre. Much debate whirled about the min or question as to whother one man could efficiently care for both the eity hall and the comfort station. It was pointed out that the two men now em ployed cost the eity $90 a month that it, $50 for ths city hall and $40 for the comfort station. One member stat ed that ho had an application from a man who was willing to care for both buildings for $75 a month. The record er cited his own observations to prove that one man could not do justice to bom positions. A member rocalled that in former years one of tho firemen took care of tho city hall for ten or fifteen dollars month, and the fur ther fact that there was no real labor entailed in the ears of the comfort station. He held that one man could perform all the liubor connected with both buildings and gtill 'have plenty of time for meditation. Tho matter was finally referred back to tho buildings committee with power to act. The etoim of Mrs. Geo. D.

Seven of the crow wero blown to atoms and Hussey himself thiown out of the pit along with the gun. He was so fearfully ton by tho shell fragments that it seems a miracle that the surgeons were ever able to put him together. He sustained several fractures of the ribs, one of his hips was completely shattered and he was almost completely disembowelled. After being removed to the field hospi tal furgrons removed eeores of shell frngmonts from hia body. He hss spent six months or more in the hospital, and today, barring the scars oa hig anato my, he presents a robust appearance, althonght he hes only partial nse of tho limb lliat was shattered.

Full Congress May Convene At End Of Week In France By William Philip Sims. (United Press Staff Correspondent.) Paris, Jan. 21.

The question of selling th city road rolls was again brought up and the' committee in charge was authorized to ditrpose of them for not less than $1, 500. . Reports of the recorder, eity treas urer, street commineioner, and others were presented and accept ;d without comment JOURNAL WANT ADS PAY Judging from the counties, prepara tions and treatments whieh are contin ually being advertised for the purpose of making thin people fleshy, develop ing arms, neck and bust, aud replacing ugly noilowa and angles by the sott curved lines ef health and beauty, there are evidently thousands ri men and women who keenly feel tiieir excessive thinness. Thinness and weakness are usually due to. starved nerves. Our bodies need more phosphate than is contained in modern foods. Physicians .claim there is nothing that will supply this actieieney so well as the organic phos phate known among druggists as bitro phosphate, which is inexpensive and is sold by most all druggists under a guarantee ef satisfaction or money back. By feeding the nerves directly and by supply the body cells with the necessary phosphoric food elements, bitro-phosphate quickly produces a welcome transformation in the appear ance; the increase in weight frequent ly being astonishing. This increase in weight also carries with it a general improvement ia the health. Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack of energy, which nearly always accompany excessive thinness, soon dis appear, dull ryes become bright, and pale cheeks glow with the bloom of perfect health. OA UTION--Although tjitro-phosphate is unsurpassed for relieving nervous ness, sleeplessness and general weak ness, it should not, owing to its re markable flesh growing properties, be used fcy anyonf "vho does not desire to put oa fleet.
