ILLINOIS STATE OFFICIAL.
hid and Diseased Animals Slaughtered In
Packing Houses and Sold in That and

Old and diseased horses and mules
are slaughtered and sold under the
name of beef BY four large packing
houses in Chicago, says a press dis
match from that city. Fish that have
died natural death are regular ar
ticle of merchandise in some sections
of that city. And in no part OF Illinois
is there any protection TO the consum-
err against flour that is adulterated
with the mineral barytes and against
tine deleterious, impure vinegar which
ST. Louis sends into the state in large
quantities.
These assertions were made by AS
sistant State Food Commissioner r.
NJ. Patterson in an address delivered
before the Retail Merchants Associa-

THE meat is sold for corned be IT,
Hamburger steak and 5aus age. In the
fall of the year much of it is picked

goes on under the eover of darkness.
The live animals are led or carried n

Mr.. Patterson said that the slaught-
