The Owners of
“Swift & Company”
(Now Over 22,000)
Perhaps it has not occurred to
you that you can participate in
Swift & Company’s profits,—and
also share its risks,—by becom-
ing a co-partner in the business?
It is not a close corporation.
You can do this by buying Swift St
Company shares, which are bought
and sold on the Chicago and Boston
stock exchanges.
There are now over 22,000 share-
holders of Swift St Company, 3,500 of
whom are employes of the Company.
These 22,000 shareholders include
7,800 women.
Cash dividends have been paid reg-
ularly for thirty years. The rate at
present is 8 per cent.
The capital stock is all of one kind,
namely, common stock—there is no
preferred stock, and this common atock
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
understanding.

Millions of people arc weak and unfit,

A modern remedy makes It possible
to remove excess acid without the slight-
est discomfort. It la called EATONIO,
in the form of pleasant tasting tablets.
Their action In the stomach la a good
deal like a piece of blotting paper taking
up a drop of ink—they literally absorb
the Injurious excess sold and carry it
away through the intestines.
They’re nervous and irritable; lock pow-
er and punch, frequently have severe
oiiu i’uiivu, iinpi'iiii.i
attacks of blinding, splitting headaches;
►object to /its of melancholia and men-
tal depression. And nearly always their
stomachs are out of order, even though
many experience no actual stomach
pains—digestion poor—never gctttng
anywhere near the full strength from
their food.
So, you see, ft's Just this—sold stom-
ach—that Is holding so msuy people
back — sapping up the strength they
should get from their food—taking sway
their vigor and vitality—leaving them
weak and inefficient.
Get rid of the excess add. That's

Declires Enemies Hava Mad* It Im-
possible to Come to Peace Terms
—-Hunt Are Without Honor
and Do Net Intend to
Do Justice.
New York, Sept. 30.—The price of
peace will be impartial Justice to all
nations, the instrumentality Indis-
pensable to eecure It la a league of
r.stlons formed, not before or after,
but at the peace conference, and Qer
many, at a member, “will have to re-
deem her character not by what hap-
pens at the peace table but by whut
follows.”
This w«i President Wilson’s answer,
given Friday night before an audience
of fourth Liberty loan workers here,
to the recent pence talk from the cen-
tral powers.
The President’s Addresa.
The president spoke In purt as fol-
lows :
“My Fellow Citizens: I am not
here to promote the loan. That will
be done—ably and enthusiastically
done—by the hundreds of thousands
of loyal and tlreleaa men and women
who have undertaken to present It to
you and to our fellow citizens through-
out the country, and I have not the
lenat doubt of their complete success,
for I know their spirit and the spirit
of the country.
“No man qr woman who has really
taken In what this war means can hes-
itate to give to the very limit of wlmt
they have.
“And It la my mission here to try
to make clear once more what the
war really means. You will need no
ether stimulation.
“We accepted the Issues of the war
ss facta, not as any group of men
ciii.ei here or elsewhere had defined
them, and we can accept no outcome
which docs not squarely meet and set-
tle them.
“That price ta Impartial Juatlca In
The War'a Issue*.
“Those Issues are these:
"Shall the military power of any na-
tion or group of nations be suffered
to determine the fortunes of peoples
ever whom they have no right to
ride except the right of force?
“Shall strong nations be free to
wrong weak nations and muke them
subject to their purpose and Interest?
“Shull people be ruled and dominat-
ed, even In their own internal af-
fairs, by arbitrary and Irresponsible
force, or by their own will and choice?
"Shall there be a common stand-
ard of right and privilege for all peo-
ples and notions or shall the strong
do ns they will and the weak suffer
without redress?
“Shall the assertion of right be hap-
hazard and by casual alliance or shall
’here be a common concert to oblige
the observance of common rights?
“No man, no group of men, chose
thpse to be the Issues of the strug-
g’e. They are the Issues of It, and
*bey must be settled by no arrnnge-
men or compromise or adjustment of
interests, but definitely and once for
rll and with a full and unequivocal
acceptance of the principle thut the
Interest of the weakest Is as sacrwl
aa the Interest of the strongest.
"This Is what we mean when we
speak of a permanent peace. If we
apeak sincerely, intelligently, and
with a real knowledge and comprehen-
sion of the matter we deal with.
"We are all agreed that there can he
no peace obtained by any kind of bar-
gain or compromise with thp govern-
ments of the central empires, because
we have dealt with them already und
have seen them deal with other govern-
ments that were party to this struggle,
at Brest-Lltovsk and Bucharest.
“They have convinced us that they
are without honor and do not Intend
Justice. They observe no covenants,
accept no principle but force and Iheir
own Interests.
"IVe cannot ‘come to terms’ with
them. They have made it Impossible.
“The Oerirdfn people must by tills
time be fully aware that we cannot ac-
cept the word of those who forced this
war upon us. We do not think the
same thoughts or speuk the same lan-
guage of agreement.
“It is of capital Importance ttint we
should be explicitly agreed that no
peace shall he obtained by any kind of
compromise or abatement of the prin-
ciples we have avowed as the princi-
ples for which we are fighting. There
should exist no doubt about thul. I
ain, therefore, going to take the llber-
every Mem of settlement, no matter
whose Interest Is crossed ; not onl/ Ira
partial Justice, but also the satisfac-
tion of the several peoples whose for-
tunes ar* dealt with. That indispen-
sable Instrumentality la a league of
nations formed under covenants that
will be efficacious.
“Without auch Instrumentality, by
which the pence of the world can be
guaranteed, peace wMI rest In part
upon the word of outlaws and only
upon that word. For Germany will
have to redeem her character, not only
by what*happen* at the peace table
but what follows.
“And. aa I see It, the constitution of
that league of nations and the clear
definition of Its objects must be a part,
Is In a sense the most esseutlal part,
of the peace settlement Itself. It can-
not be formed now. If formed now, It
would be merely a new alliance con-
fined to the untlons associated against
a comm-u enemy. It Is not likely that
It could be farmed after tba< settle-
ment.
“It Is necessary to guarantee tha
peace, and the peace cunnot be guar
anteed as an afterthought. The rea-
son, to speak In plain terras again,
why It must be guaranteed. Is thut
there will be parties to the peace
whose promises have proved untrust-
worthy. and means mult be found In
connection with the peace settlement
itself to remove that source of Inse-
curity.
“It would be folly to leave the guar-
antee to the subsequent voluntary ac-
tion of the government we have seen
destroy Ilussle and deceive Koumanla.
Particulars of Term*.
"These, then, are some of the par-
ticulars, and I state them with the
greater confidence because I can state
them authoritatively as representing
this government’s Interpretation of Its
own duty with regard to peuce:
“FIHST—The Impartial Justice
meted out must Involve no discrimina-
tion between those to whom we wish to
be Just and those to whom we do not
wish to be Just. It must be a Justice
thut plays no favorites and knows no
standard but the equal rights of the
several peoples.
"SECOND—No special or separate
Interest of any single nation or nny
group of nations can be made the
busts of any part of the, settlement
which Is not consistent with the com-
mon Interest of all.
“THIBD—There can be no leagues
or ajliunces or special covenants and
understandings within the general and
common family of the league of na-
tions.
“FOURTH—And more specifically,
there can be no special, selfish, econo-
mic combinations within the league
and no employment of any force of
economic boycott for exclusion except
as the power of economic penulty by
exclusion from the markets of the
world may be vested in the Teague of
nations Itself as a means of discipline
and control.
“FIFTH—All International agree-
ments and treaties of-every kind must
be made known In their entirety to
the rest of the world.
“Special alliances and economic
rivalries and hostilities have been
the prolific sources In the modern
world of the plans and passious that
produce war. It would be an Insin-
cere as well as insecure pen.ee that
did not exclude them In definite and
binding terms.
“Plain workaday people have demand-
ed almost every time they came to-
gether, and are still demanding, that
the leaders of their governments de-
clare to them plainly what It Is—ex-
actly whnt It is—that they were seek-
ing In this war and what they think
the Items of the final settlement
should be.
“They are not yet satisfied with
what they have oeen told. They stii:
seem to feur that they are getting what”
they ask for only In statesmen’s terms
—only In the terms of territorial ar-
rangements and the divisions of pow-
er and not In terms of broad vision,
Justice and mercy and pence and the
satisfaction of those deep-seated long-
ings of oppressed and distracted men
nnd women nnd enslaved peoples that
seem to them the only things worth
fighting a war for that engulfs the
world.
“Germany is constantly Intimating
the ’terms’ she wjll accept; and al-
ways finds that the world does not
want terms. It wishes the final tri-
umph of Justice and f*\!r dealing.”

MaJ. W. A. Bishop, British ulr serv-
ice. tells this: "The British do not
officially announce a hostile machine
destroyed without strict veallJeatlon.
V’hen you are fighting a formation of
20 or more Huns In general melee,
and one begins a downward spin, there
Is seldom time to disengage yourself
and watch the machine complete Its
fatal plunge. You may be morally
certain the Ilan was entirely out of
control and nothing could save him;
but unless someone saw the crash,
credit Is given only for a machine
driven down. The royal flying corps
Is absolutely unperturbed when Its
losses on any one day exceed those
or the enemy, for we philosophically
regard this as the penalty necessarily
entailed hy our acting always on the
>ffenslve in the air.”
