For several months our commu-

er life is really worth the living.

A Business Should be
as Big as Its Job
If bigness is of benefit to the
public it should he commended.

The else of a business depends upon the
needs which that business is celled upon to
serve. A business should be as big as its
job. You do not drive tacks with a pile-
driver—or piles with a tack-hammer.
Swift ft Company's growth has bean
the natural and inevitable result of na-
tional and intarnational needs.
Large scale production and distribution
are necessary to convert the live stock of
the West Into meat and by-products, and
to distribute them over long distances to
the consuming centers of the East and
Only an organisation like that of Swift ft
Company, with its many packing plants, hun-
» dreds of distributing houses, and thousands
of refrigerator cars, would have been able to
handle the varying seasonal supplies of live
stock and meet the present war emergency
by supplying, without interruption:
First—The U. S. soldiers and the Allies
in Europe by shipping as much as 800 car-
loads of meat products in n single week!
Second—The cantonments in the United
States.
Third—The retailers upon whom the
American public depends for its daily
. supply of meat.
V
But many people ask—Do producers and
consumers pay too much for the complex
service rendered?
Everyone, we believe, concedes the effi-
ciency of the Swift & Company organization
—in performing a big job in a big way at a
minimum of expense.
Swift A Company’s total profit in 1917 was
Isas than 4 cents on each dollar of sales of
— meet and by-products. Elimination of this
profit would have had practically no effect on
- live stock and meat prices.
Do you believe that this service can be
rendered for less by any other conceivable
method of organization or operation?

Two BottlSi of Tanlac Did Ms
Mors Good Than Every-
thing Else," Ha Says ,
“After 1 bad spent every cent
realized from the sale of iny home,
and several hundred dollars be-
sides, intrying to recover my
health, two bottle* of Tanlac did
me more good than everything else
put together, which certainly was
a wonder to me,” was the state-
ment made recently by Robert
A. Laud, a motoman on the El
Paso Electric line, who lives at
1013 San Antonio street, El Paso,
Texas.
“My health gave way five years
ago,” he continued, ‘‘and I be-
gan to go down so fast that for
four years 1 wasn’t able to do a
lick of work. My stomach was in
such an awful fix I had to forue
down what little I ate and noth-

on soured on my stomach and 1
would be alm<Et choked with gas

to all kinds of weather, but I was
so full of malaria, and my system

joy my meals for the first time
in years. Nothing hurts me any
more, I sleep like a log and get
up in the mornings ready for my

Why, I have been soaked to the
