place the establishment under suspicion

slaughter house or in market should
be assumed us being there for SALE"

Notwithstanding Its apathy and rs
poor as the city inspection Is at the
Stock Yards because Of the very small
number of Inspectors, the government
inspection Is worse. In fact the govern.
ment inspection Is farce as Is proven
by the following extract from the Chi.
cago Health Department report for the
week ending September 10, 1906:
''rhe Department INSPECTORS mt the
Union Stock Yards condemned and de.
stroyed 0o.G0s pounds Of meats. OF
this amount 11,o45 pounds were con.
demned by the Department Inspectors
after having been passed by other In.
spectors."
The "other inspectors" are the gov.
ernnient inspectors.

Stock Yards condemned and destroyed
sS.OG3 pounds Of meats. The food In.
sl,ectors In the "lOop district" con.

Of unit foodstuffs.
A million pounds OF bad meat cold

The Beef Trust continues to spread
Tuberculosis. cancer and other diseases

One fact that escapes general atten

carcass proper gets to the inspector
This includes also what II known q
