Oh. yes: the Beef Trust Ia being per.

eased meat condemned In one week by
a mere handful Of inspectors. How
much diseased meat gets out Of the
yards the Lord only knows!
hut II 15i.1SG pounds Of diseased
meat ls condemned by few inspectors.
the reader can easily Imagine how much
unfit food ls placed on the market.
Secretary Wilson says that the gov.
crnmcnt will enforce the meat bill In
It's entirety.
Now that may he all right In Its way.
but the fact remains that government
inspection has been n failure In the
past.
And the only relief that the public
can hope for IL a rigid investigation by
the Illinois Legislature.
The Legislature must investigate this
awful trust. FOR the health Of the peo.

The Beef Trust will get Its deserts
before many years roll by. The Trust
press cannot hide the truth from the
people. Little by little they will learn

The Beef Trust counts upon eleeting
a majority Of the Illinois delegation to
Congress next year.

Remembering that 1t was always the
habit to use the carcasss Of cancerous
or lumpy jawed cattle after the can.
GERS were cut out, the public Ia prob.
ably getting a 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 Ia.
sued the following remarkable instruc-
tlons In his bulletin Of December 80,
1906:
"The Commissioners has Issued the
following Instructions to the chief In.
spectOr Mt the Union Stock Yards:
"'While o,tinomycOsis Is usually
confined to the head, and may be said
In one sense to be localized disease,
and while some inspectors condemn
only the part involved, I believe 1t Ia
safest and most practicable to condemn
the entire carcass wherever the acti.
nOmycOtic abscess opens into the
mouth, pharynx, larynx or any part OF
the digestive or respiratory tract; o.
when the Emphatic glands are invok
ed; or where there are electromagnetic
tumOrs In the lungs; or when the le.
siOns have become generalized, since
generalization In actlnOmycOsls appears
to run a very atypic course, making
the detection Of all focl inside the
muscle very difficult; therefore, the en-.
tire carcass Ia to he condemned.
"In cases where the electromagnetic
LESSONS are positively localized, the In.
fected part may be cut away and the
remains of the carcass used.

"lumpy jaw" There may be other
