Been Withdrawn from the Union

In View of the Facts Published Else.
where on This Page, This
Looks Bad.

A remarkable change lns suddenly
come over the City Health Depart.
lnent.
Read the awful disclosures In the
Health Department bulletins up to
December 10. published IN another
column, and then read this:
Health Department Bulletin. january
13. 1906:
Food condemnatiOns have fallen OF
90 per cent since the first Of the year
from the totals Of the lust two weeks
of 1905. During the last named period
49,, ,451 pounds Of food unfit for human
consumption was condemned and dc.
stroycd: only 375,IO1 pounds was con.
demned and destroyed during the two
weeks ended Jan. 13. The result is due
to the expiration ut the end Of the
year Of the term for which the cincr.
gcncy inspectors were appointed"
In other words the totals have fallen
~ per cent In two weeks.
Hut not because the Beef Is any bct.
ter---the inspectors were discharged.
This looks strange.
When the Health Department report
tons and tons Of tuberculosis beef In
the market and then lets Its emergency
inspectors 90 In the midst Of the fight
on disease and death.
Something must bc doing.
Has the city administration changed
front on the destruction Of tuberculosis
cattle and their carcascs?
is tuberculosis any better for the
people this year than It was last year:

tracts from the Health Department an.
nunl report and weekly bulletins. do
you think that In the fuce Of these doc.
umcnts and the facts they contain that
the city can refuse to continue the In.
spection and condemnation of tubcr.
culosis and cnnccrous cattle ut the
Stock Yards?
| How many concerns make fancy lard
for culinary use out Of hogs that die
Of cholera?
How many thousands Of cnrcnscs
have the city inspectors condemned that
were found hanging In coolers with the
tuberculosis trimmed out?
Where does ah the meat that ar
rlyes ut the Stock Yards at nigh,
come frOmy
Whose packing house was It thnt the
chief meat inspector went Into IN DE
ccmber 10 last with orders to arrest
the President Of the concern for steal
Ing cattle that hnd been tagged md
condemned?
Did not the President Of this con
Germ surrender % condemned cnttl,
that had been thus stolen nnd hItl,lei
away?
How many condemned hogs have bccl
sold ~ mess porkY
IL II, or IL II not no. that some OI
the cattle condemned by city inspcc
tors have been found with their whole
lnsllcs one mass Of corruption?
IL It not true that the butchers n
the yards nre afraid to cut some cnttl'
for fear Of contracting cOntnglOn them
selves?
IL 1t true that many canned cattl,
ARE now killed outside tho city and tlei
carcnses shipped In with tumors I'M,
cancers still nttachedY
Why do Kansas City ana Othe
points ship their tuberculOus. lumpy
jawed and cancer cattle to ChicagOy
Why IL 1t that diseased cattle can
not DO shipped to any point east q
Chicago?
. Why Ii II, and by whose orders wa
. 1t that after the city inspectors ha
condemned 40 lumpy-jnwcd cattl
that they We're 'released"Y
. By whose orders wns 1t done?
, IL there another city besides Ch
cagO that will even allow lumpy
jawed "critter'' to enter It?
Is 1t not true that In 1t. Louis eac
lumpy-jawed beast means Il fine q
, 500, and that In Toronto, Canada, tn
beast ana even It's hide are destroyed
| In view of the fact that the Healt
Department has officially stated thu
81 per cent of the meat cOndemne
by the city was afflicted with tubel
culosls, why have tho city inspector
, been ordered to discontinue the wOr
of condemning ana destroying It?
