Ip The Owners of j| 11 “Swift & Company” fl |L (Now Over 22,000) Perhaps it has not occurred to J you that you can participate in Swift &’Company’s profits,—and also share its risks,—by becoming a co-partner in the business. I T t is not a close corporation. You can do this by buying Swift & Company shares, which are bought " I and sold on the Chicago and Boston J stock exchanges. N $ ’ 1 There are now over 22,000 share- | holders of Swift & Company, 3,500 of whom are employes of the Company. These 22,000 shareholders include > 7,800 women. Cash dividends have been paid reg- I1 ularly for thirty years. The rate at - present is 8 per cent. J. The capital stock is all of one kind, II namely, common stock—there is no preferred stock, and this common stock represents actual values. There is no "water,” nor have good will, trade marks, or patents been capitalized. This statement is made solely for your information and not for the purpose of booming Swift & Company stock. We welcome, however, live stock producers, retailers, and consumers as co-partners. We particularly like to have for * shareholders the people with whom we do business. This leads to a better mutual understanding.

A slight degree of kidney trouble affects the mind and body, nephritis, (Inflammation of the kidneys) causes mental diseases in two ways: Through changes in the walls of the blood vessels and through poisonous changes In the blood. Creatin, creatinin and produced . in kidney diseases, irritate the lining of the animal brain. San-Yak is the remedy that does actual wonderful daily good. It prevents the self-poisoning from which so many people suffer, thereby keeping the arteries soft and flexible at ages past fifty. No better proof ’ 1 could be had than from the following . letters: ) Mrs. Jemima Tickle, Celina, Ohio, (grandmother of Perry Baker, county treasurer). She is 90 years old and was subject to a great dizziness and fainting spells, high blood pressure, stiff and clumsy in the muscles, but after taking San-Yak is again in norf mal health, being able to do her own . housework and washing. She says she can walk a mile with most of the ? young folks. r J. B. White, ex-chief of police of ■ Marion, Ind., and recently proprietor 1 of the Hotel DeSoto, states as foL e lows: “SAN-YAK, yes, I know that mediV cine. I used four bottles when I was - in Benton Harbor. Mich.

The hardening of the arterI ies has disappeared. People of ad--1 vanced years should use San-Yak for . health’s sake and a longer life of ac- ' tivity and usefulness.” Dr. J. J. Weir, the eminent children's specialist, Millburg. Mich., I says: "This is to certify that I have prescribed San-Yak for a bad case of stomach trouble and I am glad to say it helped really beyond my expectations. I can cheerfully recommend it to any one afflicted. One teaspoonful in glass of water half-hour before breakfast beats all antiseptics and tonics for the stomach and bowels and kidneys. I have tried all kinds." “Os late years I have been troubled with my heart. Upon being examined ■ the doctors told me it was high blood presure. They tried to relieve me but I did not do any good. I was told to try ( San-Yak on a guarantee, which I did. and am now very thankful. I have i taken several bottles and am not now , troubled one bit with my heart. My, blood pressure is now down to nor- ( mal. It is also a very good tonic, for I now feel the best I have felt for several years.”— T. J. Parr, R. F. 3, Benton Harbor, Mich.

AMERICANS FROM ALL LANDS HELP LOAN Folk Sung*, Dances and Sport* in Gala Effort of Foreign Diviiion of Four Liberty Loan. “The Star-Spangled Banner" sung In English by a chorus of more than thirty persons, none of whom are of the same nutloniillty and most of whom are foreign-born; the “roll call of nations," directed by the only simonpure American, an Indian; nationalistic demonstrations pf the history, sports, art and industries of the peoples of every corner of the world; unique displays of the quaint customs and habits of many races differing widely in almost every way; these and many other striking features have been taken unto themselves by the woman's council of the fourth Liberty loan organization as part of their share in raising the billions for the fourth loan. To handle this work committees of foreign-speaking women have been formed in every state, county ami other subdivision. The loan opens September 28 and continues until October 19. According to Felix J. Streyckmans, federal reserve director of the foreign language division, and Mrs. Constantine Howard, executive secretary of the woman’s council, some idea of the stupendous task which the women of the foreign division have set out for themselves can be gained from the fact that virtually nil that the members of their choruses ami other participants in the pageants which are to be given have in common is that they are all Americans now. In placing before the public the “roll call of nations,” every nationality in each district, state, county, city and town will be asked to designate one person to represent that nation in the dress of his o- her native land. They will also be asked to sing their native airs or relate some of the folk lore of the country which they or their ancestors left. Native dances, sports and games will also be on the program. The food question being one of the most important before the world today. the women of the foreign-lan-guage division believe that there Is much to be learned from a conservation and economic standpoint from the foods used and methods of preparation employed in the kitchens of the foreign-speaking woman. To this end every nationality represented in a community is to prepare a food exhibit to show English-speaking Americans how they can save to help win the war. That the all-American choruses, roll calls, pageants and exhibits shall have proper artistic setting, the woman’s council has secured the services of Pierre Nuyttens. celebrated Chicago artist. aS consulting director of the council. Nuyttens will also be chairman of the council’s committee on production of spectacles. “There is no greater force toward the final welding of the American soul than by bringing together for patriotic purposes the foreign-speaking persons of the country,” says Mrs. Howard. * Wr.AV uioER * BONA SG « How They Keep Our “Watch Dogs” of the Navy on Guard.
