HOLIDAY SHOPPERS ARE
ALREADY GETTING BUSY

thatt heir selections this year are
more expensive than usual. There is
little demand for the cheaper grades
of goods, people who are compelled to
prasgee economy at other times be-
ing determined that on Christmas their
offerings shall be worthy of their sen
ument, even II the purse be strained
to meet the outlay.
The advantage of early shopping for
Christmas lies in making selections
before the displays have been culled
of their best and in avoiding the an
nual holiday crush and jam in the
stores. The advertisements in the Daily
Record furnish an excellent guide for
holiday shoppers and those who utilize
them for that purpose can not go
amiss. The early buyer of Christmas
goods will get the best bargains and
will be able TO make his purchases
with far more ease and satisfaction
than the one who waits for the gen.
eral rush, which always characterizes
the last few days Of the season.

DIR. CARRIER BOOSTS
PURE FOOD MOVEMENT
Tells of Conditions Slaughter Dairie
Makes Strong Adoption of Food Ordinance.

1t is to be hoped that the action of
the city council in postponing of the
meat inspection ordinance is only tenn
porary and that they in using their
very good judgment will with one or
two slight notifications pass it at
their next meeting. This ordinance Is
good as it stands but 1 can see no
reason why it cannot be changed in
regards to fowls, and be as good as
can be had.
During the last six or eight months
have worked with the idea Of bet
tering the food supply of Canon in re-
CARDS to its meat and milk supply
especially. l have visited dairies,
slaughter houses and meat markets
with others who were willing to assist
In this work.
1t may be well at this time to tell the
people of this city who have asked
that this matter be delayed what the
conditions were at these different
places and see If they then could not
be interested in securing its passage.
One dairy yard, near the milk house,
was a large pool of black skinny water,
the cattle were continually tramping
through this and fighting flies, the
flies at the same time had admission to
the milk house and while the milk is
being prepared for your use 1t was
covered with swarms Of flies Is this
sanitary? See report typhoid epidemic.
Do you like this milk?
Another yard-the cattle yard lit
tered with refuse. One COW had prob
ably died and as there were some pigs
in this yard, as far as I could see 1t
was left there for the pigs to eat. One
pig had died-probably couldn't stand
the diet. and was left in the yard. The
milk house was not over rs feet away.
Flies swarming from carcass to the
milk. Is this good for us? Do you want
this condition of. affairs in Canon?
! The slaughter houses!
1t is simply beyond my power to
properly describe the condition in one
or two of them--one in good condition
/ and theother fair. The ffret--s1s.Aa=
spected was rotten Maggots every
where. filth and dirt beyond descrip-
ton. 1t sickened me and I was out as
soon as possible
Did the owner clean it because II
was bad? Not much, Said we had
picked him out and were imposing on
him and why didn't We see the others,
etc, etc.
Will he keep a clean place today If
he is not compelled to do so? think
not
Cañon City record., 1907-12-05

He has been keeping this one prob
ably in the same way for years. Could
an inspector do anything here which
might be of some assistance to you or
me, to my family or yours?
Another one visited. Oh, yes, they
were just going to clean up today.
(These visits had been made Quietly)
Conditions nearly as bad as the other
place and by the way, two weeks be-
fore they had promised to clean but
hadn't had time yet Both places were
closed until they were cleaned.
Are they clean today? 1 don't know,
and am sure you don't 1 care, how
ever, and am sure you do.
Another-passably clean, but pigs
in the yard in mud and slime one foot
deep. No dry place to rest and eating
the offals of the beef. l used to eat
ham but i don't any moroccan you
wonder why.
Now after this beef is ready for the
market, how is it taken there? Thrown
on an open wagon an old piece of can
vas over it. On a warm summer day It
literally covered with flies. You have
seen it haven't you?
riers Of typhoid-may not some of our
cases be contracted in this way?
Again why should we inspect our
markets and not the meat killed on the
range and brought into the city-it
may be a tuberculor cow or one with
lumpy jaw. Should we eat it to give
the rancher little profit and say 1t
may not hurt us?
Do you want to take the chance?
Why should not he be compelled to
sell us good meat?
Take the grocers, should they be al
lowed to sell US bad fruit? e
How many send their children to the
stores for fruit and as one grocer says
sell them the bad but give it to them
little cheaper, he didn't say sell 1t to
the children but would he do so?
Now think over this carefully-you
are as much interested as 1. You now
takn0W fhe- fAsas. aa--Bau- as Il can ten
them. What do you want done? Are
you Indifferent II so we will stop here
and let everything go as it is, if not.
let us fight for your rights in this and
demand that the council do something
to rid US of this condition.
Would not the passage of this odin-
ance with the appointment of reli-
able inspector do us a great amount Of
good? l think 1t would.
Respectfully yours.
