Beef Trust Patrons Have a Chance to
Get All They Want
Of Il.
The Real Cause of the Disease Is
Bad Meat Beyond
Doubt.

Neither the bullets of the Spaniards
or the terrors Of the Cuban climate
did any havoc to the American soldier,
poor boy, Mt all comparable with the
damage done by the frightful embalm.
cd food of the Beef Trust.
The young fellows who offered their
lives to the American government, did
not for a moment imagine that the
country for which they were fighting
would permit Beef Trust to furnish
them with poisoned rations.
But It did.
The soldiers trusted their country
and ate the poison.
The result was death, disease, broken
for thousands.
These are facts which the war rec.
ords will corroboratc.
The Beef Trust continues to spread
tuberculosis, cancer and other diseases
with impunity.
One fact that escapes general atten.
ton Ii that the intestines, blood. liv.
er. heart and lights Cor lungs) Of an
animal are already used before the
carcass proper gets to the inspector.
This includes also what 10 known 40
the gut fats, out Of which lard. suet.
table oils and various other things
are made.
As soon 40 q beef 10 killed, Il 10
hung up by the heels and disembow.
eled.
All Of the "Innards" are hauled
away.
Even the blood IL received Into a
receptacle and carried OF to be
made into blood sausage, beef extract
and the like.
The intestines arc carried to the
sausage rooms to be used a. castings.
The stomach goes elsewhere to be
used a. tripe.
The liver. tights, heart etc.. nnd q
rcady market.
And. mind you. every bit Of these
portions Of the "critter" are used
whether II Ii suffering from cancer,
tuberculosis, lumpy Jaw. or any other
disease.
The carcass after Ito "innards" are
removed 10 swung along and carried to
another place where the inspectors pass
upon It or pretend to pass upon It
DR.. 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 30. 1905.
Now IS per cent Of these 100000
pounds were found to be afilcted with
tuberculosis.
Every ounce OF these 100000
pounds belonged to the main carcass
and had passed government inspection.
What about the hearts, livers, lights,
intestines, 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
eaten 40 food!
What other political associations be-
sides the Harrison Democracy does
the Beef Trust own In Chicago?
~S
Why not let the Reef Trust name the
government beef inspectors ut Chica.
60?
Why did the State Live Stock
Board wish to enjOln the city of Chi
cagO from destroying tuberculous and
cancerous cattle after government and
State inspectors had approved them,
and after the city inspectors had con.
demned them?
II Mayor DUNES administration de-
stroyed over 100000 pounds of can
cerOus and tubercul0us meat In five
months, by the inspection work Of
only eleven inspectors, how many bill
lions OF pounds Of cancer and tuber-
culOsls were fed to the people during
the years that there was no city in
spectiOn?

The Beef Trust 10 arranging to con-
troll the next Illinois Legislature abs0-
lutely.

BY the way, who did the city hall
collecting from the Ice Trust last
year?
~e
Hogs that go to England and the
United States are not examined for
trichina. All hogs for Germany,
France and Austria are. Some escape,
though.
&E
by the way, what is DR.. Dyson, who
used to be government chief Inspector,
doing now?

The Beef Trust will get its deserts
before many years roll by. The Trust
press cannot hide the truth from the
people. Little by little they will learn
the facts, and when they do wal up.
you will hear an explosion.
