Or It proves that the Beef Trust !,

falsely and with intent to deceive.
The writer. a short time ago. noticed
several quarters Of beef In the front
window Of a North Clark street butcher
shop. literally covered with United
States Inspection tags.
These tugs are only intended for ex.
port beef.
How comes II. then, that they reach

The Beef Trust continues to spread

And. mind you. every bit OF these

The carcass after Its "lnnards" are
removed Is swung along and carried to
another place where the inspectors pass
upon 1t or pretend to pass upon It.
DIR. 9. j. Whalen, the efficient Health
Commissioner Of Chicago. reported the
condemnation Of nearly four million
pounds OF meat during the four months
ending December 80, 1905.
Now s. per cent Of these 100000
pounds were found to be afflicted with
tuberculosis.
Every ounce Of these 100000
pounds belonged to the main carcass
and had passed government inspection.
What about the hearts. ilvers, lights,
Intestlnes, fats, blood. tripe and other
inside belongings Of these tuberculosis
cattle from which 100000 pounds of
tuberculosis and cancerous meat were
found and condemned?
They were sold to the people and

habit to use the carcases OF cancerOus

Talk about government inspection!
We take the following from the an
nual report Of DR.. Charles ]. Whalen
c Commissioner OF Health of the city OF
Chicago. just published. The facts
speak for themselves
AT the Union Stock Yards during
the last five months of the year, seven
inspectors (ive Of whom were appoint
ed In Novembcr) have condemned and
destroyed 2,70i,0 pounds Of meat, as
being unfit for food: all Of which
would have been sold In the city Of Chi.
cago, and for which the purchaser
would have paid first.class prices"
"From these ngureS It is very evident
that inspection by the city Of all food
products Is Of untold value, not only
from a financial hut from a sanitary
and hyglenic standpoint"

The city Is fighting the ravages Of

inspectors!
This number is very Insignificant
and wholly insufficient to inspect TO-.

But, as the Beef Trust aldermen
won't appropriate money for any more,
the Health Department does the best
it can and that isn't very much.

Imperfect Digestion Most Prolific Cause
of Serious Disease

While health reports do not
give indigestion as a cause of
death, yet it so weakens the
stomach and the whole system
that it makes one readily suS
cepible to serious illness.
If you have distress after eat
ing, a feeling of heaviness in the
stomach, nervousness, dzzi-
ness, nausea. headache or any
other symptoms of indigestion,
begin the use of Mona at
once and get we'll.
Mona will give such strength
and tone to the whole digestive
system that you can eat any
thing at any time without fear
of distress or Indigestion.

five school tea cheers struck this

were to lay their heads nor tiud
their breakfast.
Whose fault was it? The DEM

err six papers in the county,
cheerfully and free, published
notices that those teachers
ought to have read and protited
by reading, but they did neither.
Ask one of them about son e
magazine literary production
and the chances are they can
glibly give synopsis of it.
Ask five OF them a question
pertaining to their self inter
ests at home and the chances
are, four out of the five cannot
answer. Why? Because they
do NOT read the LITTLE coun-
try papers.
Ask the Appeal, Mercury or
other county papers, papers
that give column after column
each year to schools, school
teachers and educational mat
tiers freely and free, how many
school teachers out of the one
hundred and twenty-three are
on the list ?
Even Prof. Hugely, Superin,
tendent of the Monroe schools
was puzzled because so many
came in the night not knowing
where they were going.
