Bad Meat Would Explode.


Charge-Decompose meat is can
ned.
Answer-If it was, the cans would
explode. They'd go off like a cannon
Even if the meat were spoiled only
slightly the process of decomposition
would go on in the can. Gases would
generate and the can would blow up
Charge-Skinned hams, which are
supposed to be a special product are
only hams of old hogs with skins SO
thick and tough that no one will buy
them. The skin is removed and
ground up with spices and potatoes
and called head cheese.
Apswer-Who ever heard of an old
hog? No one keeps a hog more than
eight or nine months. The farmer
would be out of pocket. We don't
make head cheese.

DENIES ALL THE ACCUSATIONS

CHICAGO, June 8.-Aroused by re-
cent. sensational charges against the
packers, emanating from President
Roosevelt's commission and Upton
Sinclair, the author, a representative
of one of the large packing houses
of Chicago has for the first time I'M
dertaken their defense.
The charges which have appeared in
dispatches from Washington were ia
ken up in detail by an official of
Armour & Co., who says he speaks
for all the other large houses. He
denied practically all the accusations.
Some he explained, were founded on
ignorance, and in others he found ma
terial for amusement The charges
and their defense, from the represen-
tative of Armour & Co., are.
Charge saw one of the trusts en-
ployees doctoring a spoiled ham in a
cellar of one of the packing houses.
The stencil that arose from the ham
was overpowering. The man was
working a pump with one foot At
tached to the pump was a tube, on
the enl of which was a hollow needle.
He would jab the needle into the
ham and then pump it full of chemical
to take away the dreadful Odor.
