SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, July "a
powerful organization, to be known as

has been formed by the business men of
San Francisco to enforce fair treatment
from all insurance companies. Merchants
of wealth and influence are at the head
of the movement and the total amount of
claims represented i'll the league is $780,
100000. Any company that shall try to
take advantage of a crushed policy hold
er, will feel the strength of the new or
gan;zation.
A Pacific coast agent Of one of the
earthquake clause companies says:
THE policy holders will beat that clause
except IN cases where buildings fell down
before the fire started. The quake was
the cause of the fire, undoubtedly, but
in my opinion the courts will say that
it was such Il remote cause that the
policy holder is entitled to his money.
So many other causes entered into the
situation that the original cause was de-
stroyed IL most cases."

Goats as Moving Machines.

A flock of Angora goats were put on
a rocky hillside that it was desired to
have cleared and gotten into grass. It
was such tangle of brush and briers
that it was with difficulty one could
make a way through it. The goats ac-
tually ate their way in until it was
penetrated with paths in all directions.
After the leaves within reach were eat
en- they would stand on their hind feet
with their fGrefeet in the branches and
so eat the leaves higher up, or If the
brush was not too large, would throw
their weight against ahd bend It to the
ground, where others Of the flock would
help strip it of its foliage. The leaves
would come out again only to be eaten
off. then sprouts would come from the
roots to share the same fate, until, at
the end of the second summer, every
thing in the shape OF a bush not over
six feet tall, except TIP pines and laurel,
were completely killed and white clover
was beginning to APPEAR. These goats,
with Their long, curly. white f1eeces, at

POTTED MEAT NOT PREsERvEo

NIanufa cturers' Association and S-
itary Inspector So Report
The following extracts from reDorts
Of the National Manufacturers Asso.
citation and Inspector Hedrick, Sanitary
Inspector of the City Of Chicago, refute
the sensational charges made against
the canned meat packers:
Our investigation of the Canned and
Potted Meat part of the packing industry
showed that the methods used make the
use of preservatives unnecessary, and in.
dicated that no preseryatives or artificial
coloring is now used by the Canned Meat
packer.
The meat is first partially cooked in
large kettles, then the fat and bone is
trimmed off and the meat packed into
tins The air is then withdrawn with
vacuum pumps and the cans sealed in
vacuum. Next they are put into large
cookers, where the cooking process In sH.
ished. In the packing of some products
it is necessary that the cans be reopened
and the steam allowed to escape, the vent
hole being Immediately resealed while the
goods are hot, so as to retain the vacuum.
The entire process is quite similar to
that used by the family cook when putting
I'D fruits and vegetables except that
meats are sealed in tin cans instead of
being put in glass jars. We found that
the solder in making the cans and in
sealing them is all placed on the outside
of the can and does not come in contact
with the contents.
We were informed that much of the
cause for complaint in canned meats was
because of the mistaken idea that the
goods would keep in perfect condition af-
ter they had been opened. This would
be the fact if they were preserved with
chemicals, but as they are only kept III
condition because of being sealed in vac
uum tins they spoil just as readily as
fresh meats do after they have been
opened and exposed to the air, but will
keep Indefinitely if the can is not pune
tured 1t is also a well-known scien-
tifc fact that decaying meat generates
gas which will explode any package
which is Theoretically sealed.
Sanitary Inspector Hedrick submitted
to Commissioner Whalen his analysis OF
conditions in the Libby Mcneil & Libby
plant. He found with reference to gem
eral conditions. that the floors, halls.
stairs, tables, etc, are kept clean" and
that the entire department-viewedf from
our standpoint--Was in a satisfactory con
dition. All workrooms are light, and have
good ventilation"
