THE new MEAT INSPECTION LAW
x@xax4xaxex@x@x4x%1
SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE WILSON HAS PROMULGATED 4
REGULATIONS For ITS ENFORCEMENT.

Establishments having one or more
branches may use the same number
for all by affixing serial letter in con-
nection with the number to differen-
tate the products of the different
branches.
The regulation directs attention to
the fact that it is a felony, punishable
by fine or imprisonment, to attempt to
bride an inspector. 1t is also a felony
for any department employee engaged
in meat inspection to receive or &C.
cept money or presents from any per-
son or corporation engaged In inter-
state or foreign commerce.
The provisions in regard to labelling
carcasses which are found diseased
and which have been condemned are
very complete.
A system of tags numbered in Jupll-
cate, with reports to the inspector In
charge, who in turn, reports to Wash
ington, will make 1t impossible for any
carcass which has once been tagged
by a department employee to escape
the vigilance of the inspectors. II
such carcass were spirited away
the inspector would know the fact at
once.
Running through the regulations is
carefully prepared scheme which
will effectually prevent the entrance
into sausage, curing, canning and
other chopped meat establishments of
any carcasses which wero not inspect.
ed and passed by federal inspectors at
the time of slaughter. Whenever the
proprietor OF an establishment cues
tons the action of the inspector in
eondemning any carcass or meat he
may take an appeal to the inspector in
charge, and from the Inspector in
charge, If ne desires, to the chief OF
the bureau Of animal industry or to
the secretary OF agriculture, whose
decision is final, 80 far as the depart.
ment Is concerned.
One Of the important provisions OF
the regulations is the following def.
milton:
u. s. Inspected and passed This
phrase shall mean that the carcasses
parts Of carcasses, meats and meat
food products so marked are sound
healthful, wholesome and contain nc
dyes, preserVatives, chemicals or In

Washington, D. C.-Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson has made public
the regulations under the new law
governing the inspection Of meat pro-
ducts for interstate and foreign trade.
They do not, however, cover the sub
ject of interstate transportation of
meat or the microscopic inspection OF
pork for export. Regulations on these
subjects will be issued later.
The meat inspection law under
which the regulations are issued, con-
tains a provision that no meat or meat
food product shall be sold or offered

name, but established trade names
which are usual to such products and

vides that the trade labels which are
false or deceptive in any particular
shall not be permitted, and that meat
food product whether composed OF
one or more ingredients, shall not be
named on the trade label with a name
stating or purporting to show that the
said meat food product is a substance
which is not the principal ingredient
contained therein, even though such a
name be an established trade name.
These provisions in regard to labels
conform to the requirements Of the
pure food law.
All stamps, labels and certificates
showing that meat and meat products
have been inspected and passed are
required either to be affixed by gov
eminent employee OF to be affixed by
an employee of the establishment under
the personal supervision Of a govern
ment employee.

thereof, and no vessels having on
board such animals, meat or meat food
products for export will be allowed to
clear by the customs officers until the

culture showing that the meat is
sound, healthful, wholesome and al
for food, is produced.
Each establishment at which In
spection is maintained will be given .
number, by which all its meats and
meat food products will be known
