Notwithstanding its apathy and as
poor as the city inspection Is at the
Stock Yards bee use of the very small
number of inspectors, the government
Inspection Is worse. In fact the govern.
ment inspection Is farce as Is proven
by the following extract from the Chi.
cago Health Department report for the
week ending September Is, 1906:
''rhe Department Inspectors at the
Union Stock Yards condemned and de-
stroyed 05.OOS pounds Of meats. OF
this amount 11,545 pounds were con.
demned by the Department Inspectors
after having been passed by other In.
sIectors."
The "other inspectors" are the gov.
eminent inspectors.

The Beef Trust continues to spread
tuberculosis, cancer and other diseases
with impunity.
One fact that escapes general atten
uon Ii that the intestines, blood, liv
e.. heart and lights (or lunss) Of al
animal are already used before tn
carcass proper gets TO the inspector
This includes also what IL known O
the gut fats, out Of which lard, suet
table oils and various other thing
are made.
A. soon a. a beef 10 killed. II
hung up by the heels and dissmbow
e,sd.
All Of the "innards" are haule'
away.
Even the blood 10 received into
receptacle and carried on To b
made into blood sausage, beef extrac
and the like.
The intestines are carried to th
sausage rooms to be used AZ castings.
The stomach goes elsewhere to b
used as tripe.
The liver, lights, heart, ETC., find
ready market.
And. mind you, every bit Of thes
portions Of the "critter" are use'
whether 1t IL suffering from canoe,
tuberculosis, lumpy Jaw, or any othe
disease.
The carcass after It's "innards" ar
removed IL swung along and carried /
another place where the inspectors pas
upon 1t or pretend to pass upon 1t.
