From n thousand Illustrations Of the

There Is no way Of communicative

Of the worst and most destructive ba.

In this country the recent increase
OF this most terrible Of human af.

US all. II was once rare; Il now
threatens to become common. In the
Cincinnati hospital, In the year 1870
u. the number OF cancerous patients
was one In 6S7. In 1904 the number

You will see IRON the above figures
that the average price paid by the
Beef Trust Is about / cents a pound.
But do the people who have to pay
exorbtant prices for food get good
food?
Let us look at some of the records
OF the Chicago Health Department for
reply:
The following from the Chicago
Health Department Bulletin of OctO.

How Armour and Swift would hail

canned goods would get great boost
According 10 United States census
figures for 1893, the Beef Industry
made clear profit In that year alone
OF $lOs sOo7,650. And It Is remarka-
Chicago eagle. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1889-19??, 1907-10-26

Congress should pass law con-.
relling packers to print the date Of
the canning on the labels of all came
goods sold by them.
The fact that the Beef Trust fought
proposed law to this effect, last year,
only goes to emphasize the necessity
that exists for one.
According to all accounts the canned
goods Of the Beef Trust are bad enough,
when comparatively new, without un.
loading on the public canned goods that
have been years I'm warehouse.
More than that. the government
should compel the packers to pny all
the expenses of meat inspection.
The government should also inspect
all meat IN transit.
Lately the Beef Trust has been
branching out and gobbling up other
lines of business.
1t controls the meat business.
1t controls the poultry trade.
1t controls the egg market.
1t controls the hide market.
1t controls the boot and shoe trade.
And lately 1t has stepped into the
control of n large part of the vegetable
market.
It Is the Beef Trust and the Beef
Trust alone that has made the cost
Of living as high us It Is.
The Beef Trust buys cattle. swine
and sheep on the hoof for almost moth.
Ing.
II you will take the trouble to look
Mt the market reports Of the daily
papers you will see that the trust pays
from $l.25 to $2 per 100 pounds for
canning cows This Is cent and a
quarter to two cents a pound. For
very high grade meat they pay as
nign ns nve or SIX cents q pound.
The trust utlllxes every portion Of the
cattle, hoofs, horns. intcstlnes, hide,
hair and bones.
1t could AFFORD to sell the people
meat ut reasonable prices and make a
big profit itself.
But II Is too hoggish to do this. It
has the American public by the throat
and makes the American public pay
outrageous prices
