teachers were not authorized 10 act as

recognition TO this scheme in any way, be-
cause 1t will probably by taken advantage

Importation of canned or sausage meat,
provides that until Dec. 81 1908. the i'm
portation of fresh meat shall only be al
lowed in whole or, in certain cases, in
half carcasses and that the importation of
prepared meats shall only be permitted
when 1t is proved to be innocuous, which
is regarded as being impossible of proof
