Any unsound meat or carcass found In
a slaughter house or In market should
be assumed as being there for SALE"
Notwithstanding its apathy and rs
poor rs the city inspection Is ut the
Stock Yards because of the very small
number of inspectors, the government
inspection Is worse. In fact the govern.
ment inspection Is a farce rs Is proven
by the following extract from the Chi.
cagO Health Department report for the
week ending September 10, 1906:
"rhe Department Inspectors at the
Union Stock Yards condemned and de.
strOyed 05.00S pounds Of meats. or
this amount 11,545 pounds were con.
demned BY the Department inspectors
after having been passed BY other In.
spectors."
The "other Inspectors" are the sov.
eminent inspectors.

stroyed over 100000 pounds Of can.
ceros,s and tuberculous meat IN ave
months. By the inspection work Of
only eleven Inspectors, how many bill.
lions Of pounds Of cancer and tuber.
culosis were fed to the people during
the years that there was no city N.
ypectiont
The pure food laws will, Of course,
be enforced against some pour little
grocer. But against the Bee4 Trust,
never!

How many tuberculosis or iumpy Jaw
cattle have been released from "quar.
antinc" by order Of the Health De.
partment.
What object can the members Of tho
Beef Trust have In opposing the I'LL.
nOls pure food laws and wanting them
amended2
During the week ending Sept. & the
few city meat inspectors ut the Union
Stock Yards condemned and destroyed
SS.O63 pounds Of meats. The food In.
spectors In the "loop district" con.
demned and destroyed 47,SO2 pounds
Of unit foodstuffs.
A million pounds OF had meat sold
outside the loop district were eaten by
the people. No inspection.

The beef Trust continues to spread
tuberculosis, cancer and other diseases
with lmpunlty.
One fact that escapes general atten,
ton il that the lntestines. blood. liv.
er, heart and lights Tor lungs) Of an
animal are already used before the
carcass proper gets to the inspector.
This includes also what Is known az
tho gut fats. out Of which lard. suet,
table oils aud various other things
are made.
A. soon a. q beef IL killed. II ID
hung up by the heels and disembow.
eled.
All OF the "innards" are hauled
away.
Even the blood 10 received into q
receptacle and carried OF to be
made into blood sausage. beef extract
and the like.
The intestines are carried to the
sausage rooms to be used 40 castings.
The stomach goes elsewhere to be
used as tripe.
The liver. lights, heart, ETC., nnd o
ready market.
And, mind you. every bit Of these
portions Of the "critter" are used
whether It IL suffering from cancer.
tuberculosis. lumpy jaw, or any other
disease.
The carcass after it's "innards" are
removed IL swung along and carried to
another place where the inspectors pass
upon 1t or pretend to pass upon 1t.
DIR. 9. ]. Whalen, the efficient Health
Commissioner Of Chicago. reported the
condemnation Of nearly four million
pounds Of meat during the four months
ending December 30. 1906.
Now 50 per cent Of these 100000
pounds were found to he 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 and cancerOus meat were
found and condemned?
They were sold to the people and
eaten az food!
The Cancer Trust ana the Tubercu.
losls Trust are still doing business.
Talk about government inspection!
We take the following from the last
annual report of DR.. Charles ]. Whalen.
Commissioner of Health Of tho city of
Chicago. The facts speak for them
selves.
AT the Union Stock Yards during
the last i've months of the year. seven
inspectors (five Of whom were appoint.
ed In November) have condemned and
destroyed 2.704.088 pounds Of meat, az
being unht for food; all OF which
would have been sold In the city OF Chi.
cago. and for which the purchaser
would have paid drst-class prices"
