poor us the city inspection Is at the
Stock Yards because of the very small
number of inspectors, the government
inspection Is worse. In fact the govern
mcnt inspection Is farce as is proven

Union Stock Yards condemned and de.

One fact that escapes general atten
tlon Is that the intcstines, blood, liv

DR.. g. J. Whalen, the efficient Health
Commissioner Of Chicago, reported the
condemnation Of nearly four million
pounds of meat during the four months
ending December 80, 1905.
Now S. per cent of these 100000
pounds were found to be afflicted with
tuberculosis.
Every ounce Of these 100000
pounds belonged to the main carcass
and had passed government inspection.
What about the hearts, livers. lights,
Intestines, fats, blood, trlpe and other
inside belongings of these tuberculosis
cattle from which 100000 pounds OF
tuberculosis ana generous meat We're
found and condemned?
They were sold to the people ana
eaten as food
