evening, Jan. 1st, 1906, at his home in
Garfield township, after an illness OF
about two years brought on by old
age. On Sunday he was compelled to
take to his bed and he quietly passed
away the next evening at $50. His
death though sudden and startling to
his many friends, was not unexpected

several months.
The deceased was born at Truro.

was married to Miss Ella Tot

Town Swept Away by Flood.

Ironton, O., June 6.-Scott
Town, a village 20 miles north of
Ironton, with population of 200,
was washed away to- day. Not
house was left on its foundation.
Mrs. Sayre and daughter were
drowned. Bridges were washe ed
away and telephone lines are
down.
The disaster WAS due to a flood
which was caused by a heavy
rain lasting six hours. The town
is situated at the confluence of
the branches of the Indian and
Guyan creeks. The valley above
Scott Town is long and narrow
and the flood swept every thing
before it. Men, women and chill
dren escaped to the hills In their
night clothes. Four persons were
so injured that they cannot re-
cover. The valley from Scott
Town to the river was swept
clean. FOur iron bridges were
washed away and many horses
were drowned. The damage to
crops cannot be estimated.

In another establishment piles

In another establishment piles
of sausages and dry moldy canned
meats, admi edly several years
cd, were found, which the sup.
eIintendv mt stated to us would
be tanked and converted into
grease. The disposition to be
made Of this was wholly option,
al with the superintendents or
representatives of the packers,
as the government does not
concern itself with the disposi
ton Of meats after they have
passed inspection on the killing
floor. 1t might all be treated with
chemicals, mixed with other
meats, turned out any form of
meat products desired, and yet
the packages or receptacles in
which it was to be shipped OUT
to the public would be marked
with label that their contents
had been government inspect
ed" 1t is not alleged here that
such use was to be made of this
stuff. The case is pointed out as
one showing the glaring oppor-
tunity for the misuse Of label
bearing the name and the i'm
piled guaranty of the United
States government.
Another instance Of abuse in
the use of the labels came to our
notice. In two different estab-
lishments great stocks Of old
canned goods were being put
through washing process to re-
move the old labels. They were
then subjected to sufficient heat
to "liven" the contents--to use
the phrase of the room superin.
tendeut. After this, fresh labels,
with the government name on
them, were to be placed upon
the cans, and they were to be sent
out bearing all the evidence of
being a freshly put up product.
In one of these instances, by the
admission of the superintendent,
the stock thus being relabeled
was over two years old. In the
other case the superintendent
evaded statement of how old the
goods were.

upon which meat is handled and

only half cleaned, with meat

places were suitable oilcloth

aprons worn. Moreover, men
were seen t, climb from the
floor and stand, with shoes dirty
with the reiu o the floors, on
the tables upon which the meat
was handled. They were seen at
the lunch hour sitting on the
tables on the spot on which the
meat product was handled, and
all this under the very eye of
the superintendent of the room
showing that this was the com
mon practice.
Meat scraps were also found
being shoveled into receptacles
from dirty floors where they
were left to lie until again SHOW
eled into barrels or into machines
for chopping. These floors, it
must be noted, were in most
cases damp and foggy, in dark,
ill-ventilated rooms, and the en-
ployees in utter ignorance of
cleanliness or danger to health
expectorated at will upon them.
In a word, we saw meat shovel
ed 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, splinters, floor
filth, and the expectoration OF
tuberculous and other diseased
workers. Where comment was
made to floor superintendents
about these matters, it was al
ways the reply that this meat
would afterwards be cooked, and
that this sterilization would pre-
vent any danger from its use.
Even this, it may be pointed
out in passing, is not wholly
true. A very considerable por-
ton of the meat so handled is
sent out as smoked products and
in the form of sausages, which
are prepared to be eaten without
being cooked.
A particularly glaring instance
Of uncleanliness was found in a
room where the lest grade of
sausage was being prepared for
export. 1t was made from care
