No Reorganization of The Big
Packing Concerns Believed
Necessary
Washington, Dec. 22. As result ef
the agreement between the Department
ft Jnstire and the representatives t
the tire big packers of Chicago, unjcr
vrhteh Attorney-General Palmer vrill go
into eourt and secure aa injunction,
without either the admission or charge
that the parkers have been guilty of
violating any law, preventing them from
extending their business in lines other
than thoe intimately related to the
ment-parkiiig business, some salient
loiiits stand put: v
The packers have agreed to discon
tinue all business of manufacturing and
distributing not closely related with the
meat-parking business, as well as the
, use of mute cars for the distribution
of other than meat products. They
huve also agreed to dispose of their
lmliing in all stock yards within a
period of two year?, the sale to be ap
proved by the court, and live slock pro
ducers to be given the first opportunity
to buy hi!i the stock yard; Moreover,
they will dispose of all interest thi-y

the further possibility that some new

There is no provision in the agree

luminous Attorney-General Palmer an
nounced that the business of the pack
ers in poultry, eggs and dairy products
may be further considered. All ad
juncts of the meat products business
lire left iii the hands of the packers
and the poultry, eggs and dairy prod
rugs business is not touched at present
for the reason that the pi: '-hers h:ive the
only agency in existence to handle that
business as it should be handled in the
.interest of the public.
5 It can be stated that no reorganiza
tion of the big packing corporations
will bo nercssnry to effect the re
adjustments asked by I'm Government,
as the' industries it is now proposed
to segregute.Xwhile large in them
selves, actually constitute only a
r;nnll proportion of the total business
done by these concerns; secondly, no
refinancing will be noeersnry to handle
these readjustments, and there will be

the licensing of all industry of size

Congress appears opposed to it as a
policy. Nevertheless IScaators Kcnvon
and Kendrick, authors of bills pro
posing to deal with tho packing in

as it can be readjusted in the light
of the new agreement.

A Town Of Concrete Blocks.

A town of hollow concrete Jtrlork
houses, with Hat roofs, steel staircases
and window frames is being built near
Braintrce, a suburb of Lcndon. The
construction company that has the
scheme in charge claims for its idea re
duced cost of building, safety from lire
and freedom from dampness. Using
flat roofs instead of the usual gable
style is expected to save not less than
$140 on each house and, having little
wood to be renewed from time to time,
will, it is figured, reduce the cost of
upkeep to almost nothing. Hollow walls

MEXICAN WOMEN WILL
TAKE HAND IN POLITICS
Mexico City, lHv. ( -Mexican wolo
are preparing to take a hand in the
affairs of the Mevican republic. They
iuti ii'l tirst to eliminate social mid in
dustrial evils and later to mule a light
for political equality. This is tho pro
gram of the Mexican Feminist Council,
a national orgiwiijition with headquar
ters in Jlexieo City.
The Council ilwi! not believe that
the mass of Mexics n women are at
present prepared for complete suffrage
but the Council hopes eventually to
make them a vital political force. The
present Mexican government looks with
favor upon their efforts, according to
Senorita Klena Torres, general secretary
of tho Council. Heads of the govern
ment, she saul, advocate "complete
emancipation of Mexican women."..
The Feminist 'Council has organised
groups to teach American women how
their conditions may oc improved in
dustrially and socially. The next step,
said SSenorita Torres, will be organiza
tion of" women workers in industry .o
demand fair and equal treatment j:t
the hands of their employers. They
will not countenance any bitter set war
which has chftraeterired the femiuine
movement in some Kuroean countries,
but expect co-operation from the men.
The Council intends to bring the Mexi
can women's movement in contact with
similar orguniratiohs iiTTtttier countries
and to work with the women of the
world fur ieace, disarmament and anti
imperialism. Senorita Torres predicts that .Mexican
wqhwa will urate- a- aew era ttt.ajnji-.
cable relutions and a more complete
understanding between Mexico and the
l.'nited States. later, she said, the !
I in in is t Council intends td propose the j
formation of a laitiu-Americaii union
to bring about a closer friendship, eul-1
turally, industrially and politically be-:
tween Mexico and the countries of rjouth j
and Central America.

If Digestion Bad!

Maltoses Aids Digration Natarally and I
Permanently
During recent years the ritnl iuipor-
tance of perfoct digestion has come to
lie generally appreciated. Vnfortu- j
nately this has euseouraged tho produc-:
tion of scores of so called remedies for I
indigestion which, if they have airy j
effect at all, furnish only temporary j
relief.
Maltogrn, a compound of natural and j
reliable blood and strength builders!
corrects digestive troubles in tho only
natural way, by strengthening the di-j
gestive organs. The effect of this tonic
on those who are weak, nervoua and :
generally rnu down because of iniier-
feet digestion is astonishing. Appetite
improves, the color and glow of health ;
eturn, nervousness and irrilablcness
disappear and almost immediately the
weight begins to increase, due to the
building up of solid, healthy tissue all
over the body. These are the evidences
that Maltogen is what anaemic, sickly
people need.
If you are undcrw ight or lacking in
vitality An not suffer iu silence, Von
owe it to yorrrsrdfr"to give Maltogea a
chance to do for you what it does for
others in your condition. For sale by
