RADIO. said tonight
1.-The disclosures about beef and other
packing house products now being ex-
plotted are no news to me. | knew it
seven years ago. I told what I knew
then. Had the matter been taken up at
that time, thousands of lives would have
been saved. The adulteration of food
products Is the colossal crime of the
times.
II believe that 5000 United States SOL
diers lost their lives because of adulter-
ated, impure, poisonous meat There is
no way of estimating the number of SOL
diers whose health was ruined by eating
impure food. l know only of its harvest
among the soldiers, and can only guess
how many lives 1t has cost the repub-
lie.
Il have a barrel of testimony subject
in the way of afhdavits that | collected
when l made my investigation seven
years ago. The investigation committee
closed the case and refused to hear 25,-
900 witnesses whom I had read. At that
time I could have secured the testimony
of 100000 men that the canned beef sold
to the army was impure, adulterated and
unWholesome

Embalmed Beef.

In my investigation of 'embaled beef
during the Spanish-American war found
that poisons were being used to preserve
meat. My first intimation of the prac-
tlee came to me In reports from COM
handing officers to that effect that the
rations were not Wholesome and were
making the soldiers sick. / ordered an in
vestigation and learned from the reports
brought to me that canned meats had
been sold to the army that had been for
months in the warehouses of the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad, and at the docks
at Liverpool.
This meat had been relabeled and sold
to the United States for soldiers rations.
l turned the reports over to the War De-
partment and whitewashing nvestiga-
ton was instituted, and SUCCESSFULLY car
ried out. The official report was that
colossal error had been made. As a
matter of fact it was a colossal fraud
and the persons who perpetrated it and
were Interested in 1t. should have been
sent to the penitentiary."

flere city Water : Necessity.

F,r some months the sitys artssian

been due to the actual reduction Of the

water is hard on the wrought iron pipes
with which the wells are essed. Holes
bsing eaten in the pipes. the water raised
BY the air lifts finds eprsss into the earth
before Il reaches the top Of the well.
This condition accounts for the shortage
Of the aYtssian water and the occasional
use Of surface water 70 aid In furnishing
the usual supply.
For several weeks the city council has
bsen holding frequent and late sessions.
burning the midnight oil" As II were.
discussing and planning ways and means
70 provide the water required by grow
ing city. Among the measures Of partial
relief proposed Is that Of the Crystal
Springs Co.. Of Fowler. which will UNDER
take to pipe supply Of 100000 gallons
daily to the City limits.
Tuesday evening the council hold =
special session in continuation oi the in
quiry into the best measures TO adop:
provide the city with an increased water
supply. Msssrs. Hall and Fosdiek were
present to present proposition for the
Crystal Springs Co. Of Fowler. This
company proposes 10 furnish water At The
rats Of is cent per 1000 gallons. This
would involve the laying Of 4 six inch pipe
and the construction Of new system Of
pipes for domestic water only. It is ss-
timated that the cost Of these improve
ments would bs about 100000. which
the city Is asked to raise on bond issue.
Tho Crystal Springs Co. estimate that by
fair charge for water by the use Of
meters tho city will have tho intsrsst on
the bonds met and. sinking fund pro-
vided TO pay the bonds at maturity.
Another proposition 10 the digging OF
another artssian well and the installation
Of = larger pumping plant using . new
and economical gas engine. Al the
present tims Il 10 costing the city about
Sl4 per day for coal. BY the uss Of the
Pinsteh gas engine the same a. now
used py Dr.. Fsnton and A. W. Shelton
on their Holbrook irrigation plants with
such good effect, this sxpsnss can b re-
dussd two-thirds. This outfit would also
furnish Illuminating gas should the city
svsr wish to provide such additional
lighting facilities. 1fI
One Of the serious problems In eoanse-
ton with the wassr supply is . selection
Of casing which will resist the action Of
