lnsanitary conditions In the stock
yards were severely censured by Dr.
Arno4 Q. klebs In lecture on "Con.
sumption and the Home." given In the
Public Library under the auspices Of
The Chicago Medical Society.
"Some day these insanltary condi.
lions out at the stock yards will cause
. great upheaval In Chicago" he said.
''They are directly responsible for
0reat deal Of the tuberculosis now
prevalent In Chicago, and firmly
bslievs that one Of the greatest strides
that can be made towards stamping
out this terrible disease IL to bring
about proper conditions ut the stock
yards

The Beef Trust will find It hard
. get a resting place when the peo.
pie Of this country rise against II,
- they surely will. The people Of the
whole world are crying for Its exter.
Dlnation.
10 tuberculosis any better for the
people this year than II was last yeari
In another column will be found ex.
tracts from the Health Department an.
nual report and weekly bulletins. Do
you think that In the face Of these doc.
uments and the facts they contain that
the city can refuse to continue the In.
0pection and condemnation Of tuber.
culosis and cancerous cattle at the
Stock Yards?
How many concerns make fancy lard
for culinary use out Of hogs that die
Of cholera2
How many thousands Of carcases
have the city inspectors condemned that
were found hanging In coolers with the
tuberculosis trimmed out?
Where does all the meat that ar
rives at the Stock Yards ut night
come from?
Whose packing house was It that the
chief meat inspector went Into an De-
eember 30 last with orders to arrest
the President Of the concern for steal
Ing cattle that had been tagged and
condemned?
Did not the President Of this con-
~ern surrender % condemned cattle
that had been thus stolen and hidden
away?
How many condemned hogs have been
cold AZ mess pork?
Is II, or Is II not 80. that some oi
the cattle condemned by city inspec
tors have been found with their whole
insides one mass of corruptioni
IL IL not true that the butchers al
the yards are afraid to cut some cattle
Sor fear Of contracting contagion them
selves?
Is It true that many canned cattle
are now killed outside the city and theil
carcases shipped In with tumors ant
cancers still attached?
Why do Kansas City and othe
points ship their tuberculous. lumpy
jawed and cancer cattle to Chicago?
Why Ii IL that diseased cattle can
not be shipped TO any point east O
Chicago?
Why In II, and by whose orders wa
It that after the city inspectors ha'
condemned 10 lumpy-jawed eattl
that they were released?
by whose orders was 1t done?
Is there another city besides Chi
eago that will even allow a lumpy
jawed "critter'' to enter Il?
IL II not true that in st. Louis eacl
lumpy-jawed beast means fine o
500. and that In Toronto, Canada, tn
beast and even its hide are destroyed
In view Of the fact that the Healtl
Department has officially stated tina
50 per cent OF the meat condemne,
by the city was afflicted with tuber
culosis, why have the city inspector
been ordered 10 discontinue the wOrl
Of condemning and destroying itl
