MEAT SCANDAL ABROAD
CHICAGO REVELATIONS DUPLI-
GATED IN LONDON.

According to a special eablegram from
London to the New York Times it Is more
or less comforting to Americans temporarily
living In that country to learn from an au-
thoritatfve source that English purveyors of
food are quite as much addicted to the adult
teration and defilement of their products as
their American cousins. For weeks British
editors have been writing articles which
have been extremity unpleasant reading to
the fell ow-countrymen OF the Chicago pack
ers, and wherever an American has mingled
III the social life of England he has heard
things that have brought the blush of shame
to his cheeks.
Some OF us have insisted that every I'M
clean practice alleged against the Chicago
ans is daily duplicated in this country. but
the Britishers have listened to- us with COM
placency. and have brushed aside our state
ments as unfounded. Now comes a sanitary
inspector in the employ of the borough of
Camberwen with revelations which. the
newspapers publishing them say, show that
the Indignation poured out on Chicago might
as well be turned to give an impetus to the
movement for the removal of horrible abuses
at home.

Worked Over Old Materials.

For example. the inspector says, 1t was
shown recently that a firm engaged in man.
ufacturing timed "delicacies' such as pot
ted chicken and tongue had acquired large
quantity OF old timed meat and had worked
1t over with other materials in circumstances
too loathsome to detail Thousands of tins
Of putrefying and poisonous meat were
seized from this firm.
The inspector alleges that large quantities
OF diseased meat are brought from the coun-
try and sold in London constantly and in
stances a number of cases of meat from
cows which had died from fever finding its
way to London butchers shops. The inspec-
tor says that even the London slaughter
house butchers. In spite of the inspectors,
manage to slaughter and put on the market
the carcasses of tuberculous and other dis
eased animals. and that all sorts of refuse
and dirty scraps are put into London made

Dead Ants and Insects in Jams.


Recently" Says the inspector, Il found
In jam factory collection of dried raisins
filled with ants and other Insects, rotten

aroni. lot of blown tins of apricots and
other refuse bought from grecers' shops as
unfit for food. 1t amounted to nine hun
dred-weight in all. and was being treated

In confectioner'S the inspector found a
case OF 500 absolutely rotten eggs designed
for use IN pastry and creams. There was
not good egg in the place. The inspector
says good many London confectioners in
variabiy use rotten eggs in the preparation
of their deicaces
AT time when the whole world is holding
America in contempt it seems worth while
TO point out that all the conscienceless food
purveyors do not live in the United States.
Bad Meat Elsewhere.
A cablegram from Berlin says: Grown
Prince Frederick William and Gen. Won
Podbieish. the Prussian minister of agri-
culture, opened the agricultural fair In
suburb of Berlin yesterday They both
made speeches eulogizfng German farming
and the wisdom of the state In protecting
the peoples food by law
Gen. PodbeIski in connection with the
opening, gave an interview to the Lokai-
Anzeiger regarding the Chicago meat-pack-
ing sensation. during the course of which
he was quoted saying:
What was taking place at Chicago was
wen known In the United States. One can
only be filled with horror by the informa-
ton. l cannot express publicly what 1
know, and can only seek to protect our
population.
Daily in Chicago 25,000 cattle are slaugh-
tered and numerous animals, are brought to
the slaughter houses already dead.
Only three veterinarians are assigned to
examine 10000 hogs daily What can they
see? With us one veterinary or inspector
does not investigate more than twenty ami
mails.
Not long ago a large steamer arrived at
Emden loaded with meat, all of which had
to be thrown overheard. Many of the ami
mails were sick or dead before they were
slaughtered.
Efforts have also been made In Den
mark to send bad meat into Germany. and
similar meat has been brought here from
Russia 1t is established that shipIoad
of animals brought from Russia to Stettin
were suffering from Siberian plague

with inspecting animals in Russia are in

MERCHANTS MUST ADVERTISE

How are the merchants of the
Northwest going to meet the unscrup-
ulous warfare now being waged
upon them by the catalogue houses?
He must advertise more extensively
in his home papers and by circulars
to his patrons. He must take up the
mail order proposition in a systematic
way and prepare and carry out
strong line of publicity. 1t is all very
we'll for the country merchant to say
that every one knows him and will
trade with him anyway, but the known
facts do not carry out this statement.
The catalogue houses flood the rural
sections with their immense cata-
logues, listing thousands of articles of
merchandise with their prices plainly
given. The price is an inducement,
even though it may be higher than the
same article can be bought of the
home merchant, because when price
is given the patron naturally thinks
it is a low price. Supplements of the
big catalogues are issued at intervals,
alleged to contain rare bargains, and
these are helped out with circulars
and other bargain announcements ar
irving every few days at the patrons
house. AS opposed tn all this clever

advertising the patron sees, most Of
the time, stereotyped ads in his homo
papers telling him that "John Jones
sells merchandise" That's about all
he gets out of twothirds of the ads
published in country newspapers.
This may seem harsh criticism, but
it is we'll meant. Stir things up. You
may not have to use any more space
in your local papers, but make that
space say something. Dig into your
stock and advertise things that you
never thought Of advertising before.
And give the prices. Keep all the big
retail mail order house catalogues on
hand. You will find it easy enough to
get them Compare your selling prices
with those in the catalogues and nine
times out of ten you will find that you
can beat them at your regular prices
when you figure in the cost of freight
to the mail order patron. Therefore
advertise and give prices. IL you
have an association or understanding
there can be no objection to giving
prices, and il you haven't an associa.
ton or understanding get one just as
soon as you can, because that is of
the utmost Importance in fighting the
mail order evil-St Paul Trade Jour-

Congressman E. w. Martin of South

his remarks was that the American

peace, and he was positive could now

Martin explained, for the one as rule
is good, while the other is invariably
bad. They are menace to the coun.

The principal remedy advocated by
Congressman Martin was publicity.

chants.

Column after column has been writ
ten about the bad deals people make
by trading with catalogue houses in
place of trading with their home mer-
chants, but it seems almost necessary
for a man to get beat before he takes
tumble" to himself as the saying is,
and begins to do all his trading at
home where he can see the goods.
We can quote an example which
happened in this city by which one
man at least was convinced of the ad-
visibility of trading at home
He had been faithful student of
the catalogues of the Eastern mail or
der houses. He was interested in
certain thing and had studied so much
catalogue literature on it that he could
talk about merits of the article he
wanted for certain purpose. Which
made the merchant, who made ,nis
line speciality, open his eyes. In
fact he knew so much about it that
when he went into local store and
told the merchant just exactly what
articles he wanted, the latter knew he
had studied the catalogue and was
ready for him
The customer described large
number of articles which he desired to
purchase and each one was laid on
the counter. When he had them all
in a pile before him he said: 81 will
give you $76.50 for them. l can buy
them from mail order house for that.
Will you take it?'
The merchant took his pencil and
figured for moment, put on trou-
bled look and told the man that, con-
sidering the amount of trading his
family did at the store. he would do
so. The purchaser was more than
pleased.
'I'll pay for these next month";" he
said. But the merchant wasn't quite
as easy. He replied: 'If you had
bought these from. the mail order
house at that price you would have

MIR. Geyer states that the travelling
