stand that the vermiform appendix

Insanitary conditions In the stool;

ArnoS G. Klebs In a lecture on "Con.
sumption and the Home" given In the
Public Library under the auspices Of
the Chicago Medical Society.
"Some day these insanltary cOndi.
tions out Mt the stock yards will cause
great upheaval In Chicago" he said,
''rhey are directly responsible for a
great deal Of the tuberculosis now
prevalent In Chicago, and l firmly
believe that one of the greatest strides
that can be made towards stamping
out this, terrible disease Ia to bring
about proper conditions at the stock

An average Of 10000 pounds of dis.
eased meat Is condemned every week by
Chicago Health Department inspectors
In butcher shops and grocery and de-
partment stores "inslde the Union
loop"
If this great amount Of tubercular,
cancerous and maggoty material can be
found by the inspectors and destroyed
'lnsidc the loop n small territory
bounded by the river, Van Buren, street,
Wabash and Fifth avenues, how many
million pounds are sold to the public
and consumed In the vast territory out.
side the loop?
This Is very pertinent question.
That 10000 pounds Of diseased meat
can escape stockyards inspection every
week and find itself into department
and other stores "lnslde the loop"
should suffice to call attention to the
vast amount OF poisonous food that es.
capes inspection at the stockyards and
Is sold outside the loop.
Facts are facts, and figures never lie.
