The number Of members Of the pPcs-

Trust Is known to a man.
Remember the Beef Trust when you
are nominating candidates for the
Legislature this year.

The number Of dead and diseased
hogs shipped by the Beef Trust and
sold 40 food Is something awful.
Numbers Of hogs die In the cars In
transit to the Beef Trust; their bodies
are often eaten by the other hogs and
their pot disease transmitted BY them
to the human rsce.

People must remember that the city
had only eleven inspectors at work on
cattle, hogs, sheep and provisions.
Necessarily their work must have
been very incomplete when there were
100000 cattle a week to inspect. Tu-

Beef Trust cold storage Is a had
thing. Yet 1t Is popular Just now. Tho
rotten food turned out In the shape of
diseased poultry from Beef Trust roosts
Is thus touched upon by Health Com
missioner Whalen, of Chicago, in his
annual report:
Gold storage Is one Of our present
necessities, but II Is evident that II
has been shamefully misused by dis
honest men. While certain articles
Of food are better after more or less
prolonged storage, certain fruits and
vegetables spoil No soon after removal
from the cold storage az to give q
very unfavorable Impression.
Again, poultry or game IL often
stored In an undrawn condition and Ia |
