CALLS FOR STRICT LOCAL INSPECTION

TOPEKA, Kan, July IA meat slaught-
ering house near Wellington, inspected by
order of the State Board of Health, has
been found to be in such filthy condition
that DR.. ]. s. Crumbine secretary Of the
board, has sent notices to the county COM
missioners of every county in the state
directing them TO examine the slaughter
houses In their districts, and II not found
to be In a sanitary condition, to allow five
days for cleaning up permitted by law.
IL the order is not complied with in the
time specified arrest and prosecution may
follow.
1T is impossible for. me to describe the
actual conditions as 1 found them" said
DR.. Crumbine. mo person who hasn't seen
the place, can conceive the flthiness of it.
II was so bad that l cannot see how the
place can be cleaned in Ave days or fifty
days It's my opinion that the burning of
the house will be the only means Of eradi-
eating the disease germs
There may be other slaughter houses in
almost as bad a condition, none can be as
bad, and hope by sending notices to all
county commissioners there may be a gem
eral cleaning up"
The order applies TO. some of the big
packing houses at Kansas City, whose
plants are located on the Kansas side.
