sorrED MEAT NOT PRESERVED.


1Ianu facturcrs' Association and SAM
ftary Inspector So Report.
The following extracts from reports
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 preseryatiyes unnecessary, and in
dicated that no preservatives or artiheial
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 of 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 The air Is then withdrawn with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 is fin
ished. In the packing Of some products
Il Ii necessary that the cans be reopened
and the stsami 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 70
that used by the family cook when putting
up 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 ell 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 IL they were preserved with
chemicals, but as they are only kept in
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 IL the can is not pune
tured. 1t Is also a wellknown scicn-
dfc fact that decaying meat generates
. gas which will explode any package
which Is Theoretically sealed.
Sanitary Inspector Hedrick submitted
10 Commissioner Whalen his analysis of
conditions in the Libby, McNeill & Libby
plant. He found ''witI reference to gem
sral conditions, that the floors. halls,
stairs, tables, ETC., are kept clean,' and

BOYS TERRIBLE ECZEMA.
Mouth and Eyes Covered with Crusts
Hands Pinned Down-Miracu-
lous Cure by Cuticura

when my little boy was six months
old, he had eczema. The sores extend
ed SO quickly over the whole body
that we at once called in the doctor,
We then went to another doctor, but
he could not help him, and in our de-.
spair we went to third one. Matters
became SO bad that he had regular
holes in his cheeks, large enough to put
a finger into. The food had to be Civ
en- with a spoon, for his mouth was
covered with crusts as thick as fin-
ger, and whenever he opened the
mouth they began to bleed and sup;
purate, as did also his eyes. Hands,
arms, chest and back, in short the
whole body, was covered over and
over. We had no rest by day or night,
Whenever he was laid in his bed, we

he would scratch his face, and make
an open sore. think his face must
have .itched most fearfully.
1--WE finally thought nothing could
help, and I had made up my mind to
send my wife with the child to Eu-
Iope. hoping that the sea air might
cure him, otherwise he was to be put
under good medical care there. But,
Lord be blessed, matters came differ
emily, and we soon saw miracle. A
frieno of ours spoke about Cuticura.i
We made a trial with Cuticura Soap,
Ointment and Resolvent, and within
ten days or two weeks we noticed a
decided improvement. Just as quickly
as the sickness had appeared 1t also
began to disappear. and within ten
weeks the child was absolutely well,
and his skin was smooth and white as
never before. Il. Hohrath, President

RAISING BUGS FOR PROFIT.

Singular Feature Of the FfG-Grow-
ing Industry I'm CALIFORNIA;.
There is greater variety of plant
life In California than In any country
Of the globe, excepting, Of course, that
Of which the Sunset State Is part.
One farm near the town of Fresno,
county seat Of Fresno County, and in
the center Of the great inland basin,
has on 1t nearly every known variety
Of tree. So great is the diversity OF
vegetable life here, says Leslies Week
".
Fresno Is also the center of the raisin
industry Of America, which gives en-
ployment at lucrative wages during the
picking and packing season to thou
sands, including the wives and daugh-
ters OF the ranchers, and the annual
products amounts to about $2,500,000
The bug-raising enterprise is q part
OF the fig-growing industry, which Is
reaching large proportions about Fres-
no. One rancher Is now setting out in
fig trees alone single tract of 400
acres. Another orchard owner who has
forty acres In fig trees sells his product
every year for from $4,000 to 5000.
The introduction of the Smyrna fig has
necessitated the propagation of the fig
wasp, tiny insect no larger than a
gnat The Smyrna fg is hollow re-
ceptacle containing nothing but female
flowers, which are inside Of the fig, and
unless these figs are fertilized by the
little ng wasp, technically known as the
blastophaga, grossorum, the figs never
mature, but shrivel up and fall of the
trees when about one-third grown.
4 The Capri, or wild fig, stands in the
relation CT the male to the Smyrna or
female fig, which Is the edible fruit.
This Capri fig serves as the home for
the littie fig insect which Is necessary
for the perfection Of the Smyrna fig.
The pollenation of the Smyrna fg takes
place in the following manner: The
Capri fg produces three or four crops
year. the only one Of which is of any
value to the Smyrna fig maturing in
June. The little wasp passes out of
the &c at this time, getting its body
and wings covered with pollen from the
male or staminate blossoms. and enters
the Smyrna fig, forcing its way through
the almost closed orifice and fertilizcs
the female flowers. Having performed
this Office, 1t passes out OF the fig and
perishes. There is a nursery man In
