"If the pure food bill is passed,

"The evidence given before the
Senate and House committees last

Of adulteration and gross deceit Of
misbranding and misrepresentation
has become more widespread in this
country than the public generally has
any idea Of. The packers are not the
only people who deceive the public

there was no deception. 1t would pre-.

would put an end to the lying labels
like those on the pottcd chicken Of the

zone Of the strongest arguments re-
Gently submitted In behalf Of the pure
food bill was by Senator McCumber
who pointed out that the American
people today. according to the best
estimates of the Department Of Agrl
culture. are paying annually about g..
600, 100000 for adulterated and mis-
branded articles. This IL about three
times the national debt Of the United
States, and this enormous sum, every
dollar Of It. IL contributed by people
who believe they are getting some
thing they do not receive. II the pure
food bill was passed they would spend
about the same amount Of money. OF
course. but they would get what they
are expecting to buy, and this Is the
whole object Of the legislation now
pending In the House and Senate"

Talk about government inspection!
We take the following from the an.
nual report of DR.. Charles J. Whalcn,
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 (five OF whom were appoint.
ei In November) lave condemned and
destroyed 2,70i,O3S pounds of meat, rs
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 arst.class prices"
"From these figures It Is very evident
that inspection by the city Of all food
products Is Of untold value. not only
from a financial but from sanitary
and hygienic standpoint"
"The following will show how neces.

The city Is fighting the ravages OF

inspectors!
This number Is very insignificant,
and wholly insufficient to inspect TO-
600 cattle and 100000 hogs q day.
But, as the Beef Trust aldermen
won't appropriate money for any more
the Health Department does the best
1t can and that Isn't very much.

Tampa and assured the Department that
he could make the run in twenty-five hours.
