At retail markets, 1850 pounds Of
dressed meats; 24,15O pounds oc @sh,
ana A0S8 pounds Of poultry, mans
and rabbits were condemned and de.
stroyed.
1.-THE Commissioner has issued the
following instructions to the chief IN.
spector at the Union Stock Yards;
"'While actinomycosis 10 usually
confined to the head, and may bs said
In 0na sense to b localised disease.
and while some inspectors condemn
only the part involved. I believe It 10
safest and most practicable to con.
demn the entire carcass wherever the
actinomycotic abscess opens into the
mouth, pharynx, larynx or any part Of
the digestive or respiratory tract; or
when the Emphatic glands are involv.
ed; or where there are actiuomycotic
tumors In the lungs; or when the le.
sions have become generalixed, since
generalization in actinomycosis ap.
pears to run q very atypic course,
making the detection Of all foci inside
the muscle very difncult; therefore,
the entire carcass IL to be condemned.
"'ln cases where the actinomy cotic
LESSONS are positively localized, the In.
fected part may be cut away and the
remains Of the carcass used.
"These instructions apply only to
''lumpy jaw" There may be other
reasons why you should want to con.
denim carcass, and II 10 then q mat.
ter Of judgment for you apd your men
But you should never hesitate to con
denim II you believe the animal to be
not at for human food.'"
The meat inspectors Of the Chicago
Health Department condemned and de.
stroyed 33?,667 pounds Of meat at the
Stock Yards during the month Of April
Just think this over.
With not tenth as many inspectors
as they should have the Health Depart
ment destroys nearly half q million
pounds Of diseased meat In one month
ut the Stock Yards. II 332,887 pounds
Of meat Is condemned and DESTROYED In
a month by an insufficient number OF
inspectors, how much would be de-
stroyed II the Health Department had
the number Of inspectors that it should
have?
The health of Chicago is ut stake.
The Beef Trust Is causing the spread
OF tuberculosis and cancer.
Bad, rotten meat that Is sold to the
people by the Beef Trust causes these
awful diseases.
This awful trust can 60 on spreading
disease, but there is a day Of reckoning
coming.
The people will rise up and demand
that this trust be investigated and tn,
guilty men sent to Jail.
The Newspaper Trust cannot save tn,
Beef Trust.
The Eagle was the first paper In thu
country to expose the Beef Trust. Nov
the good work Is being taken up al
over the United States by daily ant
weekly papers and monthly magazines
The health Of Chicago will always b'
In danger so long as diseased meat Il
sold to the people. The Chicago Health
Department Is doing Its very best Il
stop this diseased meat, but 1t has no
near enough men. The Reef Trust Il
the greatest menace to the publ,
health that We have.
1t should be stopped.
