Tho number Of dead and diseased
hogs shipped by the Beef Trust and

Numbers Of hogs die In the cars In

The Beef Trust has ruined many a
prosperous small business. The hide
industry, the boot and shoe trade, the
aheopalIin tanners, the leather tanners,
the wool pullers. the wool trade. tho
vegetable market, tho poultry bust.
ness. tho retail meat markets. tho
wholesale meat markets. the soap
trade-all these and many moro have
boon swallowed up by this awful
leviatisan. How much longer will the
people stand It?
How much longer will tho American
people put up with diseased food?

Ing clipped from the live stock report
Of the Chicago Daily News, January
0. 1908:
Equality Of offerings was not good.
II was such 20 the trade usually looks
for on Tuesday. with the Wisconsin
shipments largely prsdominating. II
was not the absence of good finished
stun that made the slow market, how.
ever, as the buyers were generally
looking for low.priced cattle. Ship
pers had only few orders at most,
and tho great percentage Of them
were for plain finished cattle. Since
the ending Of the western season there
has generally been as good a demand
for the commOner sorts OF cattle an
for the better priced steers. A few
toppy kinds have reached 1926 this
week, but they are as scarce az the
proverbial hens teeth"
We do not see any quotations in
the dailies on trichina hogs.

People must remember that the city
had only eleven inspectors at work on
cattle, hOgA sheep and provisions.
Necessarily their work must have
been very incomplete when there were
100000 cattle week to inspect. Tu.
berculosis and cancer are bound to be
shipped to all quarters rs food.
Beef Trust cold storage Ia a bad
thing. Yet 1t Is popular just now. The
rotten food turned out IN the shape OF
diseased poultry from Beef Trust roosts
is thus touched upon by Health Com.
missioner Whalen. of Chicago. In his
annual report:
Gold storage Is one Of our present
necessities, but 1t IL evident that it
has been shamefully misused by dis.
honest men. While certain articles
Of food are better after more or less
prolonged storage, certain fruits and
vegetables spoil no soon after removal
from the cold storage AZ to give
very unfavorable Impression.
again, poultry or game Ia often
stored In an undrawn condition and In
