To The
American People
There is no foundation for the alleged
violations of law attributed to our Com
pany by agents of the Federal Trade
Commission and I want to say emphatic
ally that Swift & Company is not a party to
any conspiracy to defraud the Govern
ment. Nor has Swift & Company been
guilty of improperly storing foods or of
making false entries or reports.
Conferences of packers, where prices
have been discussed, have been held at
the urgent request and in the presence
of representatives of either the Food
Administration or the Council of National
Defense. And yet the packers have been
accused of committing a felony by acting
in collusion on Government bids!
We have done our best, with other
packers, large and small, to comply with
the directions ot the United States Food
Administration in all particulars, including
the furnishing of food supplies for the U. S.
Army and Navy and the Allies, now be
ing handled through the Food Adminis
tration.
We will continue to do our utmost,un
der Government direction, to increase our
production and assist the Food Adminis
tration. We consider that the opportunity
to co-operate whole-heartedly and to our
fullest powers with this branch of the
Government is our plain and most press
ing duty.
The Trade Commission Attorney has,
by false inference and misplaced empha
sis, given to disconnected portions of the
correspondence taken from our private
files and read into the Record, a false and
sinister meaning with the plain purpose
of creating antagonistic public opinion.
The services of the packers of the
United States are most urgently needed,
and I regret exceedingly that we should at
this time have to spend our efforts in
defending ourselves against unfounded,
unproved, and unfair assertions such as
are being daily made public.

STOMACH ACTS FINE!

“Papes Diapepsin” Fixes
Sour, Gassy, Upset Stom
achs in Five Minutes
You don’t want a slow remedy
when your stomach is bad—or an un
certain one—or a harmful one— your
stomach is too valuable; you mustn’t
injure it with drastic drugs.
Pape’s Diapepsin is noted for its
speed in giving relief; its harmless
ness; its certain unfailing, action in
regulating sick, sour, gassy stomachs.
Its quick relief i nindigestion, dys
pepsia and gastritis, when caused by
acidity, has made it famous the world
over. Keep this wonderful stomach
sweetener in your home—keep it
handy—get a large fifty-cent case
from any drug store and then if any-
; one should eat something that doesn’t
! agree with them; if what they eat
lays like lead, ferments and sours
and forms gas; causes headache, diz
ziness and nausea; eructations of acid
and undigested food—remember as
soon as Pape’s Diapepsin comes in
contact with the stomach it helps to
neutralize the excessive acidity, then
all the stomach distress caused by it
disappeas. Its promptness, certainty
and ease in overcoming such stomach
disorders is a revelation to those who
try it. advt.
