Washington, ID. c., Sept. I.--Whcther
the attractive nature tint given to
cured meats, sausage and other meat
trust products by saltpctrc IL causing
the race to die OFF more rapidly Is the
problem with which DIR. II. W. Riley,
chief of the bureau Of chemistry Of
the Department Of Agriculture, has
undertaken to wrestlc.
There Is a suspicion In the minds OF
Secretary Wilson and DR.. Wiley that
saltpctrc Is injurious to the kidneys.
1t has come to the knowledge Of tho
Department Of Agriculture that In a
number Of beef trust plants saltpetre
IL used recklcssly. Its use to the OK.
tent OF one pound In 100 pounds OF
meat Is reported In some instances.
"There Is reason to suppose that
saltpetre Is extremely injurious II used
In such quantities. said DIR. Wiley.

Sterling, ILL.,, Sept. 25.-Alembers Of
a picnic party yesterday east of this
city were taken very III caused by
ptomalne poisoning In canned meats
1t was feared that Mrs. Clair Brumlcy
would not survive. This morning six
of the members of the Henry Gebhart
family of this city were similarly az.
fected. During tho summer there
were about ono hundred eases Of
ptomaine poisoning In this city due to
canned meats.
The spirits of thousands Of poor
boys who went out to light for the
United States In the Hpanish.Amerl
can war, must hover over the fortunes
Of the Beef Trust In. a demand fol
vengeance
These thousands were killed by the
"embalmed heef" Of the Beef Trust
and by the poisons used In the makeup
Of their Beef Trust rations.
Neither the bullets of tho Spanlardi
or the terrors of the Cuban climate
did any havoc to tho American soldier
poor boy, at all comparable with the
damage done by the frightful embalm
ed food Of the Beef Trust.
The young fellows who offered theiI
lives to the American government, did
not for a moment imagine that thu
country for which they were fighting
would permit Beef Trust to furnish
them with poisoned ratl0ns.
But it did.
The soldiers trusted their country
and ate the poison.
The result was death, disease. broken
constitutions for thousands.
These are facts which the war rec
Ords will corrObOrate.
~GYA
One hundred and sixteen articles pro.
duced by the Beef Trust In Chicago
have been examined and condemned by
the honest pure food commissioner Of
the State Of North Dakota. Every one
of them was condemned because 1t
contained poison and was therefore
detrimental to the public health. Lack
of space alone prohibits us from print
ing the list and the names Of the
houses shipping the stuff.
