The most amazing stupidity conceiv.

that they should allow their supply
Of food to pass into the hands Of one

son. You can understand how care
less community might tolerate a mo.
nopoly Of some things, how 1t might
endure to have Its transportation. for
instance, or Its electric light, control.
led by one ownership, for men can
live without sleeping cars or arc
lamps; but that 1t should tolerate a
monopoly Of the primal necessity Of
food il beyond comprehension and
without precedent. Even naked saw.
ages have uniformly been too wise
for that, and the only nation that has
ever submitted to such monstrous
condition Is our own.
From n thousand illustrations Of the
injuries we all suffer from this idlotic
arrangement let us cite one.
There Is no way Of communicating
disease to the human body surer than
through infected meat tissue. Some
of the worst and most destructive ba.
GILL that prey upon mankind are com.
mon among the animals he eats for
food. Cows have tuberculosis and
spread vast quantities of 1t through
the human population. It Is so com.
mon among cows that the wise and
the forewarned will use none but ster.
ilixed milk. What Is hog cholera"
among swine Is merely typhoid fever
In men. Trichinca In hogs polsons
human beings. Both these diseases
are common among swine.
Worse than ali these, and more
deadly, IL another fact that IL seldom
commented upon because It Ii too up.
palling to dwell much upon. What IL
called "lumpy jaw" In cattle Is simply
cancer. The germs Of cancer are
communicable. Many cattle have
"lumpy Jaw" Any animal with
"lumpy jaw" IL unfit for human
food.
This opens a field that demands the
immediate attention Of the govern.
ment. Cancer Ia the most terrible Of
all diseases. After It has reached a
certain stage Of development It is alb.
solutcly incurable. Its progress to
that stage may be without the pa.
tents knowledge or suspicion. Its
advance beyond that stage cannot
even be checked. II Stays its victims
with the most horrible torture.
In this country the recent increase
Of this most terrible Of human af.
Alctions has been something to alarm
us all. 1t was once rare; II now
threatens to become common. In the
Cincinnati hospital, In the year 1870.
II, the number Of cancer0us patients
was one In 6S7. In 1904 the number
was one In 273. In 1870. when the
total population Of the city was &c.,
230, the number Of cancer cases re.
ported ut all the institutions was AZ;
In 1000, with a total population of
3?5.0O3. the number of cancer cases
reported Mt all the institutions was
l0S, and In 1908, with about the same
population. the number was 207.
append the table that shows this as.
tonlshing increase.
Here Is a similar report from two
well.known hospitals elsewhere:

At retail markets, 1850 pounds Of
dressed meats: 2i.150 pounds o. "sh.

",rhe Commissioner has issued the
following instructions TO the chief In.
spector Mt the Union Stock Yards:
"'while actinomycosis Is usually

pears to run very atypic course,
making the detection Of all foci inside
the muscle very difficult; therefore,
the entire carcass Is to be condemned.
"'ln cases where the electromagnetic
LESSONS are positively localized, the In.
fected part may be cut away and the
remains OF the carcass used.
"'rhese instructions apply only to
'lumpy jaw" There may be other
reasons why you should want to con.

But you should never hesitate to con.

not lit for human food"
The meat inspectors Of the Chicago
Health Department condemned and de-
stroyed 332,G67 pounds OF meat ut the
Stock Yards during the month Of April.
Just think this over.
With not tenth as many inspectors
rs they should have the Health Depart.
ment destroys nearly half a million
pounds Of diseased meat In one month
at the Stock Yards. II 332,G67 pounds
Of meat Is condemned and destroyed In
month by an insufficient number Of
inspectors, how much would be de.
stroyed IL the Health Department had
the number Of inspectors that II should
have?
The health of Chicago Is at stake.
The Beef Trust Is causing the spread
Of tuberculosis and cancer.
Bad, rotten meat that Is sold to the
people by the Beef Trust causes these
awful diseases.
This awful trust can go on spreading
disease, but there Is day Of reckoning
coming.
The people will rise up and demand
that this trust be investigated and the
guilty men sent to Jail.
The Newspaper Trust cannot save the
Beef Trust.
The Eagle was the first paper In the
country to expose the Beef Trust. Now
the good work Is being taken up all
over the United States by daily and
weekly papers and monthly magazines.
The health Of Chicago will always be
In danger so long as diseased meat Is
sold 10 the people, The Chicago Health
Department Is doing Its very best to
stop this diseased meat, but 1t has not
near enough men. The Reef Trust Is
the greatest menace TO the public
health that we have.
II should be stopped.
