Or It proves that the Beef Trust Is
using the United States inspection label
falsely and with intent to deceive.
The writer, a short time ago. noticed
several quarters Of beef In the front
window Of North Clark street butcher
shop. literally covered with United
States inspection tags.
These tags IRE only intended for ex.
port beef.
How comes II. then. that they reach
the domestic article?
II the Beef Trust can do rs It pleascs

The beef Trust continues to spread

animal IRE already used before the
carcass proper gets to the inspector.
This includes also what IL known as

All Of the "innards" are hauled
away.
Even the blood Is received Into q
receptacle ana carried or to be
made into blood sausage. beef extract
and the like.
The intestines IRE carried to the
sausage rooms to be used rs castings.
The stomach goes elsewhere to be
used as tripe.
The liver, lights. heart, etc, ind q
ready market.
And, mind you. every bit Of these
portions OF the "critter" are used
whether 1t Is suffering from cancer.
tuberculosis, lumpy Jaw, or any other
disease.
The carcass after Its "innards' are
removed Is swung along and carried to
another place where the inspectors pass
upon 1t or pretend to pass upon 1t.
DIR. g. J. Whalen, the efficient Health
Commissioner Of Chicago, reported the
condemnation Of nearly four million
pounds OF meat during the four months
ending December 30, 1905.
Now 81 per cent Of these 100000
pounds were found to be afflicted with
tuberculosis.
Every ounce of these 100000
pounds belonged to the main carcass
and had passed government inspection.
What about the hearts, livers, lights,
intestlnes, fats, blood, trlpe ana other
inside belongings of these tuberculosis
cattle from which 4,OOO,OOO pounds Of
ana cancerOus meat were
found ana condemned?
They were sold to the people and
eaten as food!
%eSA
Remembering that 1t was always the
habit to use the carcases of cancerOus
Or lumpy jawed cattle after the can.
rers We're cut out, the public Is prob.
ably getting fuller dose of lumpy
jawed cattle for food than ever. On
the very day that the city discontinued
Its inspection and condemnation. the
Commissioner of Health of Chicago is.
sued the following remarkable instruc.
lions In his bulletin Of December 30,
1905:
'"rhe Commissioner has Issued the
following instructions to the chief In.

The Reef Trust mas caused a big
raise In the price OF shoes. The al.
legged beef trust controls incidentally
the domestic hide market. which Con.
gress closed practically for the benefit
OF the beef trust by clapping u duty Of
ID per cent nj valOrem on foreign
hides. The alleged beef trust, accord.
Ing to Associated Press dispatches,
now also controls the domestic tanning
industry. Hence the beef trust fixes
now the cost Of the leather. the raw
material out of which shoes are made,
ana hence II controls both the prices
OF shoes In the domestic market and
In the export shoe trade, built up nc
great expense by our shoe manufac.
turers.
Furthermore, II Is common knowl.
edge that the domestic price Of butter,
eggs, butterlne. dressed poultry, the
grains, fruits, vegetab les, apples, pota.
toes and probably other foods Is regn-
lated largely by the same trust Of cor
pOratiOns.
This Is logical and unavoidable at
present 1t Is due In part to special
privileges OF lower rates In the ship
ping, private refrigerator lines, I'M
nense grain elevators and cold. storage

Talk about government inspection!
We take the following from the an
nual report Of DR.. Charles J. Whalen
Commissioner of Health of the city OF
Chicago. Just published. The fact,
speak FOR themselves
AT the Union Stock Yards during
the last five months of the year, seven
inspectors Give Of whom were appoint
ed In November) have condemned and
destroyed 2,I04,O3S pounds Of meat, u.
being unfit for food: all OF which
would have been sold In the city Of Chi
cago. and for which the purchaser
would have paid first.class prices"
From these figures It Is very evident
that inspection by the city Of all food
products Is Of untold value, not only
from a financial hut from a sanitary
and hygienic standpoint"
.The following will show how neces.
sary city inspection Is at the Union
Stock Yards:

demned In the coolers ana on the cut.

The Beef Trust Is still marching on
leaving In its trail tuberculosis, cancer
appendicitis and countless other dis
eases.
1t must be stopped!
The city Is fighting the ravsges OF
the Beef Trust again with four meat
inspectors
This number Is very Insignificant
ana wholly insufficient to inspect TO-.
900 cattle and 100000 hogs day.
But, as the Beef Trust aldermen
won't appropriate money for any more,
the Health Department does the best
it can and that isn't very much.

City Treasurer Murray H. Deaton

this week by telegram announcing
that mis- father, Elk Sheriff William
Deaton, was very i'll at that place.
Since then word has been received
stating that the patient is doing well,
and that the prospect for his recovery
seems good. M. H. Deaton will prob.

train.
The following relating to the ill.
ness Of Mr.. Deaton is from the Bill

&C. E. Jolly received a telegram last
night from Thermopolis, Wyo., stating
that William Deaton was dangerously
Ill at that place, with little hope OF
his recovery. He recently underwent
an operation ON one Of his feet and
It seems was afforded no relief. Mr..
Deat0n is wedely known in Montana
and many will regret to learn of his
serious condition. He cam to this state
years ago with a bunch of cattle and
has long been prominently indenti-
fed with the stock industry of central
and eastern Montana. He was sheriff
Of Fergus county for four years."
