after II leaves the killing bed.
In is the opinion OF the commissioners
that the whole inspection service is or
ganlzed to enable packers TO sell meat
abroad, and that the American consum-
ers are afforded no protection.
Shipments OF meat which have become
tainted are returned TO the packing
houses and either worked into sausages
or are treated with preservatives and sold
TO local consumers. The use OF dyes and
adulterations was found to be universal.

Disease Which Started in
Starr School Threatens to
Become Epidemic.
FORTY ARE NOW EFFECTED
CITY HEALTH OFFICER DAVIS
URGES PARENTS TO USE GREAT
CARE in REPORTING THE DIS.
EASE PROMPTLY.

An epidemic of measles, which
started in the Fifteenth Street school
and which is still mostly confined to
pupils attending that school, is spread
ing over the city and every day, many
reports of the disease are received at
the Office of City Health Officer T.
Henry Davis. The disease is easily
taken" and hard to get rid of and
unless immediate steps are taken to
suppress it, it will spread over the
city and increase the number of those
who have it from forty to several
hundfed.
City Health Officer Davis stated
last evening that the laxity of parents
in reporting the disease, or of calling
in physician, has caused the general
spread of measles. There is a sta.
tute which prescribes that every case
of contagious disease be reported to
the proper authorities, namely, the
City, Health Officer and failure to
report means a fine of s100 If this
law were to be followed, many Rich
mond people could be punished for not
making known the fact that their
children had the measles.
The measles broke out several
weeks ago in the Starr school and al
| first was in a mild form The child
rem continued to attend school and
others became infected. They had the
disease in worse form until now il
| is a serious matter
