Talk about government inspection!
We take the following from the last
annual report of DIR. Charles ]. Whalen
Commissioner of Health of the city OF
Chicago. The facts speak for them
selves.
AT the Union Stock Yards during
the last five months of the year, seven
inspectors (five of WHOM We're appoint
ed In NOvember) have condemned and
destroyed 2,704, 03S pounds Of meat. az
being unfit for food; all Of which
would have been sold In the city Of Chi
cag0. and for which the purchaser
would have paid first.class prices"
