I know of nothing that will give such prompt relief as Charaberlain's Cough Remedy, for when it is taken the pain in the chest disappears, the fever sub- sides and the whole body becomes more comfortable. Then again, the after effects of Influenza are often even more distressing than the disease itself, but they can be avoided if vou use Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy Though the greatest danger from chis disease is Pneumonia, 1 have never known a single case of Influenza to result in it when Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy was freely given. The persistent cough that frequently follows Influenza can be relieved by Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, and should not be allowed to run on until it becomes troublesome.” QYounss f Pealel —GramiZy o bortisis MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS Bemidji Lodge No. 119, 1 0.

Net earnings $13,870,181.34 s Our shipments were in excess of 5,500,000,000 1bs. This means that our earnings were less than 1Ys cents on each dollar of sales, or a quarter of a cent on each pound shipped. Consumer— The average consumer eats about 5 1b. of meat per day—180 lbs. per year. purchased only Swift & Company products he would have contributed only 45 cents (180 1bs. @ V4 cent a pound)—a year profit to Swift & Company for its investment and service, less than one cent per week. Our earnings were so small as to have prac- tically no effect on the family meat bill. Live Stock Raiser— Swift & Company handled in 1919 over 16,000,000 head of live stock. You can figure for yourself that our earnings of 1%/ cents on each dollar of sales are too small to affect the price you received for your stock. We paid all it was humanly possible to pay considering what the meat and by-products could be sold for. Swift & Company, U. S. A. &l If he idji Local Branch W. J. Miller, Manager
