70 USE HORSEFLESH AS FOOD
Chicago Health Officer May License
Its Sale.
FRAUDS ARE NOW PRACTICED.
Investigation Shows Small Establishments
Sell Meat Under False Name-Neces-
sity for Inspeotion-Big Profits for
Dealers.

Frauds practiced by meat dealers
have resulted in an investigation Of
| Chicago firms by the health depart
ment OF that city and have led to the
suggestion that the preparation of
| horsefesh for the market be recog-
nlZed as an industry and be permitted
under inspection and with license. De-
ception on the part of dealers who
have placed the meat on the local mar
ket as beef has caused both the in
vestigation and the attempt to regu-
late the trade
Efforts TO secure evidence against
! the firms have not succeeded thus far.
The meat was traced into the estab-
lishment of one large Chicago firm,
but when the health officials secured
access to the barrels in which it had
been packed a substitution of beef for
the horse meat had been effected. The
evidence was incomplete and the case
was dropped. In addition to the large
firm a number of smaller establish
ments have been suspected, upon
what the health officials consider
good grounds, of securing the meat
and imposing it upon their custom
ers as beef.
The meat purchased from the estab-
lishments which kill horses for the
trade is secured at about two cents a
pound. The profit to the dishonest
dealer who retals the meat at the
prices charged for beef is immense.
There is one place in Archer avenue
which is recognized by the health de-
partment without any definite policy
having been established for the regu-
lation of such places in general In
the case of this dealer the department
is assured that his trade is conducted
honestly. He sells to the foreign mar
ket, principally in Sweden, and his
meat is labeled plainly as horse meat.
Other establishments have sprung up
in the city, and the dealers who coa-
duct them are under the impression
that their industry is carried on with
out the knowledge of the department.
This suppOsition, the health officials
declare. is not well based. and arrests
may follow the discovery that the
meat is sold under a false name.
The trade has reached stage at
which Secretary Pritchard of the de-
partment considers that it should be
licensed and recognized. The depart
ant then would place the firms I'M

Oshkosh Fire Causes Big Loss.

Fire Tuesday devastated nine acres

destroyed lumber to the value of

manufacturing plants of $4,000. At
one time it looked as if the entire riv-
err front upon the north side would be
swept clean, but the wind, shifting,
drove the flames back over the original
course. Aid was sent for from Apple
ton and Fond du Lac.
