Canadians Want None
of Our Canned Meats

TINNIPEG, Man, July 90. For
II years past the sale of American
] canned meats has been exception
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1906-07-23

canned meats mas Deon exception
ally heavy in Winnipeg. especially
at this time of year, when so many
camping and picnic parties are going
out, but owing to the recent packing
house disclosures the sale of this com
modify has almost completely dropped
off. At first one of the largest retailers
in this city stated his sales Of canned
meats dropped off fully 80 per cent, but
yesterday he said 1t is now most un-
usual thing for customer to ask for
any American canned meat.
The men in the large lumber camps
have refused to touch any Chicago
brands, with the result the camps have
been obliged to return all their canned
American meats and have them ex-
changed for Canadian.
Americans who reside in this city
lead in their prejudice against the Chi
cago goods, and one man who has al
ways purchased a fancy brand OF Chi
cago lard now refuses to use anything
but dairy butter for cooking purposes.
All American goods have been affected
by the recent disclosures. and in con-
sequence many OF the dealers are re-
fusing to handle anything made in the
United States.

\ HE Chinese joss with face like
Halloween joke that did noble
: service for the Celestials through


out the State in ante-earth-
in scorn. The leering monster which
the Orientals believed kept milk
from souring and made the chop suey
rats fatten no longer reigns supreme in
the temples The josses proved false to
their trust during the fire and earth
quake and will be succeeded by other
specimens of comic statuary In a short
time.
When the flames that ravaged the
city were roaring south of Market
street the Chinese. ricn, poor, weak and
strong, were gathered in the joss
houses. They bowed before their grin
ming gods and with prayers full of
fear, sincerity and faith called upon
them to save their homes from the
flames. The joss responded with his
usual grin. and for the time being the
Celestials were satisfied.
Scarcely one resident of the Chinese
quarter thought it necessary to save
his belongings. He left all this to the
joss. Instead of loading wagons full
of merchandise and household effects
the Celestials hurried and scurried to
gather punks to burn before the mute
monsters. They spent all their energy
in bowling and scraping. Their faith
remained till Chinatown was no more.
JOSS Is FALSE TO TRUST.
The doom of the joss was sealed on
Thursday morning, April 20, when the
fire came along Kearny street and soon
swept the Chinese quarter bare. The
Celestials looked on-with more surprise
than fear stamped upon their counte-
nances. They could not figure out how
the joss had thrown them down so
ruthlessly. Had they not burned more
punks before his shrine on the previous
night than ever before? And had they
not spent more time in/prayer and med
itation than ever?
