ment is intended to restore public
confidence at home and abroad In
canned meat and products of Ameri.
can packing houses. 1t reads:
American live stock Is the health
lest in the world. The great ranges
of the West produce herds of cattle
in which the percentage Of disease is
remarkably small. The federal gov.
ernment is steadily reducing by ap-
proved scientific methods this small
percentage The inspection of ami
mails before and at the time of slaugh-
ter has always been thorough. 1t Is
true this department has heretofore
lacked power and money to provide
efficient supervision of the methods
used in preparing canned meat. But
the legislation just effected provides
the department with adequate law
and ample money to carry 1t into eff
feet. The supervision of inspection
will be extended from the pasture to
the packing plants. Federal stamps
upon the cans win be guarantee not
only of the healthfulness of the ami
mails but also that the product is pre-
pared in sanitary surroundings with
the addition that no deleterious chem
icals or preservatives are used in any
product"
