lnsanitary conditions In the stock
yards were severely censured by DR..
ArnoG Q. Klebs In lecture on "Con.
sumption and the Home" given In the
Public Library under the auspices oi
the Chicago Medical Society.
''SOme day these insanitary condi.
lions out mt the stock yards will cause
a great upheaval In Chicago" he said.
They are directly responsible for u
great deal Of the tuberculosis now
prevalent In Chicago. and firmly
believe that one of the greatest strides
that can be made towards stamping
out this terrible disease Is to bring
about proper conditions ut the stock
yards"
The Beef Trust will find It hard
- get a resting place when the pco.
pie Of this country rise against It.
- they surely will. The people Of the
whole world are crying for Its exter.
mination.
In tuberculosis any better for the
peopse this year than II was last year!
In another column will be found ex.
tracts from the Health Department an.
nual report and weekly bulletins. DO
you think that In the face Of these doc.
umentS and the facts they contain that
the city can refuse to continue the In
spcction and condemnation Of tuber.
culosis and cancerous cattle at the
Stock Yards?
How many concerns make fancy lard
for culinary use out OF hogs that die
Of cholera?
How many thousands OF carcases
have the city inspectors condemned that
were found hanging In coolers with the
tuberculosis trimmed out?
Where does all the meat that ar.
rives at the Stock Yards at night
come fromY
Whose packing house was 1t that the
chief meat inspector went Into an De-
cember % last with orders to arrest
the President OF the concern for steal.
Ing cattle that had been tagged and
condemned?
Did not the President OF this con.
~ern surrender 81 condemned cattle
that had been thus stolen and hiddei
awayf
How many condemned hogs nave been
sold AZ mess pork?
Is II, or IL II not so, that some OF
the cattle condemned by city inspec'
tors have been found with their whole
lnsldes one mass of corruption?
Is II not true that the butchers at
the yards are afraid to cut some cattle
or fear OF contracting contagion them.
selves1
Is II true that many canned cattle
are now killed outside the city and their
carcases shipped In with tumors and
cancers still attachcdf
Why do Kansas City and other
points ship their tuberculous, lumpy,
jawed and cancer cattle TO Chicago?
Why IL Il that diseased cattle can
not be shipped 10 any point east OF
Chicagoi
Why Is II, and by whose orders was
II that after the city inspectors had
condemned 10 lumpy-jawed cattle
that they were "released"i
BY whose orders was II done?
Ii there another city besides Chi.
cago that will even allow lumpy.
Jawed "critter'' to enter II?
Is II not true that in St Louis each
lumpy- jawed beast means a fine of
500. and that In Toronto. Canada, the
beast and even It's hide are destroyed
In view OF the fact that the Health
Department has officially stated that
81 per cent OF the meat condemned
by the city was afflicted with tuber-
eulosis, why have the city inspectors
been ordered to discontinue the work
Of c0ndemnlnp and destroying II?
