you think TINT In the face Of these doc.

the city can refuse to continue the In.

Stock Yards?
How many concerns make fancy lard

Did not the President Of this con.
Germ surrender % condemned cattle
that had been thus stolen ana hidden
away?
How many condemned hogs have been
sold as mess pork?
IL II, or Is It not 30. that some OF
the cattle condemned by city inspec'

the yards are afraid to cut some cattle
for fear Of contracting cOntagion them
selves?
IL 1t true that many canned cattle
are now killed outside the city and theil
carcases shipped In with tumOrs and
cancers still attached?
Why do Kansas City and othe
points ship their tuberculous. lumpy
jawed ana cancer cattle to Chicago?
Why Is 1t that diseased cattle can
not DO shipped to any point east o
Chicago?
Why is II, and by whose orders wa
1t that after the city inspectors hat
condemned 40 lumpy- -jawed cattl

Is II not true that In st. Louis eacl
lumpy-jawed beast means fine o

beast ana even its hide are destroyed
In view of the fact that the Healtl
Department has officially stated tina
S5 per cent of the meat cOndemne
by tho city was afflicted with tubel
culosls. why have the city inspector
, been ordered to discontinue the wOr
of cOndemning and destroying 1t?
