THEN HE FELT sTREAKED.
Hubby Was Too obliging When
There Wasn't Any occa-
sion for It.

A gentleman and his wife were sit

alter. On the floor the man saw large
hat-pin with an amber head. The Chi
cago Daily News tells what he did
with. 1t.
Looking about him, he saw that
two women and their escorts had Just
sat down. To one Of the women he
presented the pin. A shake OF the head
indicated that he had made mistake.
Then he tried two ladies across the
aisle. They seemed to be interested.
The pin was curiosity, and it's amber
Of unique carving. They hesitated,
but handed the pin back.
Desperately, he began the search
anew. Two ladies unattended seemed
likely owners. To them also he
showed the pin. They took 1t and en-
joyed its pattern.
Just then the man felt a tug on his
sleeve. It was his wife, and she re-
marked. 'Why are you showing my
hat-pin to strangers"
Blushing, he went over to the Ia
dies. who were still looking at the pin,
and explained. /

such consciously guilty accents that

PRESIDENT DECLARES CONDITIONS IN

Sends Strong Message to Congress with Rey-
nolds-Neill Report Drastic Inspection of
Meat Urged-Serious Charges Ae.'
Packers Are Substantiated
in Document.

call special attention to the fact
that this report Is preliminary. and
that the investigation Is still unfin-
ished. 1t Is not yet possible to report
on the alleged abuses in the use OF
deleterious chemical compounds In
connection with canning and preserv-
ing meat products, nor on the alleged
doctoring in this fashion Of tainted
meat and of products returned to the
packers as having grown unstable or
unusable from age or from other rea-
sons. Grave allegations are made in
reference to abuses of this nature.
Let me repeat that under the pres
ent law there is practically no method
of stopping these abuses II they should
be discovered to exist. Legislation
Is needed in order to prevent the pos
sibility of all abuses In the future.
If no legislation is passed. then the
excellent results accomplished by the
work Of this special committee will
endure only SO long as the memory
or the committees work is fresh, and
a recrudescence Of the abuses Is alb
solutely certain.
Passage Of Law Urged.
urge the immediate enactment into
law Of provisions which will enable
the department of agriculture ade-
quately to inspect the meat and meat
food products entering into interstate
commerce and to supervise the meth
DDS of preparing the same, and to
prescribe the sanitary conditions I'M
der which the work shall be per-
formed. I therefore commend to your
favorable consideration and urge the
enactment of substantially the provi-
sions known as senate amendment No.
20 to the act making appropriations
for the department of agriculture for
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1907,
as passed by the senate. this amend
ment being commonly known as the

THE REPORT.
A Synopsis Of the Reynolds-Neil

A Synopsis of the Reynolds-Neil
Document. .,....
Washington, June A. The follow
Ing is synopsis of the report
oil J. B. Reynolds and Commits
sioner Neill to the president ON con-
ditions in the Chicago stock yards. The
two officials recently investigated the
charges Of the horrible conditions
there on the instance of the president,
and the report has been anxiously
awaited.
Rooms Dark and Unsanitary.
The report says that two ana one
half weeks were spent in the investi-
cation in Chicago, during which we
went through the principal packing
houses in the stock yards district to-
gether with few OF the smaller ones
a day was spent by Mr.. Reynolds in
New York city in the investigation OF
It's leading slaughter houses" The re-
fort says that in many of the rooms
where water is used freely the floors
are soaked and Shiny, and the dark
and dingy rooms are naturally not
KEPT suitably clean. An absence OF
cleanliness was found everywhere in
the handling of meat being prepared
for the various meat food products.
The parts that are sent from the cool
ing room to these departments where
various forms of meat products are
prepared, are handled with no regard
whatever to cleanliness. The workers
climb over heaps OF meat, select the
pieces they wish, and frequently throw
them down upon the dirty floor be-
side their bench. -a
I'm a word" the report adds, I'VE
saw meat shoveled from filthy wooden
floors, piled on tables rarely washed,
pushed from room to room in rotten
box carts, In all Of which processes it
was in the way of gathering dirt, splin-
tiers, floor filth; 1t was always the re-
ply that this meat would afterwards
Re cooked, and that this sterilization
would prevent any danger from its use.
A very considerable portion of the
meat, SO handled assent out as smoked
products and In the form of sausages,
which are prepared to bs eaten with
cut being cooked.
"A particularly glazing instance OF
uDcleanliness was found in a room
where the best grade of sausage was
being prepared for export"
Inspection System Defective.
The report says that the radical de-
feet in the inspection system Is that
IT is confined at present by law to
passing on the healthfulness of ami
mails at the time oil killing, but that
the meat that is used in sausage and
the various forms of canned products
and other prepared meat foods goes
