BAD MEAT STILL SOLD.

Federal Official Tells How smaller
Packers Dodge Inspection Law.
A news special from Washington
says: ''That very bad conditions pre-
vail in the small packing houses of the
country was strongly intimated to-day
by Assistant Secretary of Agriculture
Hays in a talk on the enforcement OF
the new meat inspection laws.
""The public has no adequate pro
lection against the small packer who
is doing a purely State business, the
assistant secretary said. Local meat
inspection, by which | mean the IN
spection of plants not subject to fed
eral control, is open to the same OBJ
lection raised against the old system
that prevailed before the existing fed
eral inspection was put into force.
""The legislatures of the various
States must be brought to realize the
situation and pass laws which will give
adequate protection to the public. They
must pass laws for local or State in
spection as stringent as the federal
laws and modelled as far as possible on
the latter.
"The situation in some Of the States
is such that the small packers have
been forced to give up all their inter
state business and conine themselves
wholly to intrastate business. The hrm
that does an interstate business, even
though the latter be only small part
of it's whole business, must submit to
| the fullest federal inspection Of cattle,
of all it's products and Of its sanitary
arrangements.
1.-THE firm that does a purely local
business, selling nothing across STATE
lines, faces only the local inspection.
In many instances the latter is so
poor that it fails entirely to protect the
public against the use of diseased cat
tie and the sale of unwholesone meat
/ products. The firm operating under
local inspection can, therefore, under
sell firms subject to federal inspection.
""This department has knowledge OF
many instances where small packers
gave up their interstate business in or
der to escape federal inspection and
TINS be able to meet local competi-
ton
"The situation demands drastic legis-
lation from the State legislatures, in
the opinion of Assistant Secretary
HAYS and the department means to dc
all it can to direct public attention tC
the matter and have the evils com
planned of corrected by proper State
legislation"

Some day there will arise a patient
investigator who will work out this
problem, Why are most sports but the
variants of one object, the propulsion
Of a sphere?
Billiards, baseball, polo, golf, sling
ing, marbles, squash, handball, foot
ball. rackets, cricket, hockey, bagatelle,
tennis, shooting, pelota-the basic pur-
suit in each is to drive a ball, the pro-
pulsion Of a sphere.
Tipcat, shuttlecock and top spinning
are the employment of notifications of
the sphere, and archery is but another
method of propulsion.
1t is a strange limitation Of form,
and there must be a reason. Those
who delve into origins may ascribe the
whole motive of sports to some long
armed, hirsute ancestor who first threw
a pebble at a fellow cave dweller and
found it great fun.
Or it may be poor mortal's attempt
to get in a small fashion into the ire
nendOus scheme of the universe, which
is the everlasting movement Of the
spheres. Or it may be that sports are
framed in inevitable obedience to some
irresistible law of nature.
At any rate the fact is sports are
based on the propulsion of the sphere
and some one ought to find a reason
therefor.-New York American.

What Will appear very interesting
to many people here is the article

that he has found a positive remedy

Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Shake we'll in bottle and
take in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and again at bedtime.
A well-known author t., when asked
regarding this prescription, stated that
the ingredients are all harmless, and
can be obtained at a small cost from
any good prescription pharmacy, or the
mixture would be put up if asked to
do so. He further stated that While
this prescription is often prescribed in
rheumatic Affections with splendid re-
suits, he could see 10 reason why it
would not be q splendid remedy for
kidney ana urinary troubles and back
ache, as it has a peculiar action upon
the kidney structure, cleansing these

them to sift and filter from the blood
