sufficient appropriation for foreign in
spection, a number of large packing
house concerns voluntarily offered to
defray the cost involved.
CONSUMER PAYS COST ANYWAY.
It is stated that, of course, the pack
ing house people, otherwise the beef
trust, will pass the cost Of the inspec-
ton along to the consumer; but as 1t
will only amount to about 5 or 6 cents
a head on each carcass the Increase
will not be appreciable in the individ-
ual beef steak, at least it ought not to
be, but the combination Of packers,
dealers, wholesalers, retailers, ETC.,
will doubtless make an excuse for put
ting up meat at least a cent pound,
and thus make an investment of many
hundred per cent off the amount
which they pay for the Government
inspection.
HOW THE TROUBLE BEGAN.
Some time ago Upton Sinclair pub
lished 1.-THE Jungle" 1t was a novel
and horrible. 1t showed that the in
spection service at the Chicago pack
ing houses was wholly inadequate. 1t
was proved that the Government in
spectors passed on the conditions of
the carcasses when the animals We're
killed; but after that there We're no
inspections and the conditions were
incredibly revolving. PresiG mt ROose-
welt read the book and is stated to
have been outraged at the statements
made. We're they true or were they
exaggerated? He made some inquiries s
and found that the statements were all
well founded. Then he was genuinely
ahgry. Secretary Wilson sent com
mission out to look into the condition
OF affairs, but the President was ap-
parently not satisfied with the Govern
ment commission, so he sent his close
personal friend, Mr.. j. B. Reynolds, a
prominent social worker and a man of
means, and Mr.. Charles p. Neill, the
United States Commissioner of Labor,
on a purely personal inspection tour.
The expenses of the two investigators
We're paid by the Government, but the
men received no salaries and the in
Quiry was, in way, unofficial.
There has never yet been any writ
ten report made public from these two
Investigators; likely there will not be;
but the President knows all they
found out, and the packers know it
too. Both the President and the
packers were Mortified; the reasons
were different. The story around the
Capitol regarding this investigation
runs something like this: The packers
said, IF this sort Of story gets out
1t will ruin our business abroad" The
President remarked in effect, "1f I'll
that know gets out, it will ruin
your business at home too"
Now" said the packers, make any
sort Of an inspection law you want,
pass it and we will stand for it, and

Signals on Rural MaiLBoxes.

The Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General has issueu An order providing
that after July next, rural delivery
carriers, when making their trips, will
visit and examine only those boxes Cor
which they have mail for delivery and
those on which the signals are dis
played to indicate that there is mail
for dispatch.
Those patrons who are now main.
taining mail boxes on which there are
no signals will be required tc procure
some sort of device which will serve
as u signal to carriers.
BY this new arrangement it is cx.
pected that the delivery and collection
Of mail along rural free delivery
routes will be greatly facilitated.
The Greeley tribune., 1906-07-05

The fact that the meat consumption
entered yitally into every home,
coupled with the terrible charges,
made not only in the Jungle" but
through many other credible sources,
has aroused a state of public senti-
ment which is akin to revolutionary.
On the whole. in the face of an in
tensely suspicious public, an aroused
Congress and determined President,
the beef trust is now up against the
fight of its life. While the President
intended to use his private report as
club to force legislation, and to with
hold its publication unless it was
found necessary to bring the packers
to terms, the overwhelming current

STRAW PLAQUES FOR FLOWERS.
A most unique and attractive idea is exploited
by firm in town particularly noted for its
original treatment of cut flowers. The fertile
brain of one of its enthusiastic employees con-
ceived the idea of converting a straw PLAGUE,
similar to these used for millinery purposes, into
a charming basket-like contrivance, admirably
adapted for the artistic arrangement of flowers
Wide ribbon of harmonizing hue is caught
about the Sides thus forming a receptacle that
may be carried On the arm by means of long
ribbon loop. One of the sketches shows how eff
fective this scheme may be carried out. For
bridesmaids the idea is simply fetching and in
tinitely more distinctive than the conventional
bouquet or little French basket of poses
PLAQUES are available for 81 % apiece in most
any shade. The ribbons are chosen to match OF
harmonic with the flowers The PLAGUE in the
sketch is beautiful willow green, the flowers
the exquisite Killarney and the ribbon two
toned pink. There is certain ribbon with or
child colorings that is quite fashionable for these
