WORST BEEF EATEN

Secretary Thomas.
G LOCAL INSPECTION
Board of Health Secretary, After !n

Should Be Examined
and Branded.

Des MoineS, Ia. Dec. 3.-'Iowa is
eating the worst beef there is to be
had anywhere and is paying the high
est price for it. The state is eating
beef from COWS afflicted with tubercu-
iosis. All this beef should be ex-
amined and branded. If people are go
tuberculosis they have the right to
INC it In advance"
These are the words of DR.. Thomas,
secretary of the Iowa state board OF
health. DIR. Thomas has made some-
what Of an investigation as has the
members of the state board and it is
maintained that there is abundance Of
evidence to substantiate their claims.
1T is claimed that some parts OF
animals affected with tuberculosis are
perfectly safe to eat" said DIR. Thomas
today. "This may all be true, but the
public has the right to know what it
Is eating. Conditions in this state are
a fright. When an animal is afflicted
with tuberculosis it is hurried off to
some local butcher and slaughtered
will not handle any affected animals
because the government inspectors will
cot brand it or allow it to be shipped.
All the meat that is not affected is
branded with a purple brand by the
government inspector. When meat has
that purple brand it is good and the
public can safely buy it. If it has not
that purple brand you don't know
whether 1T is good or not.
Local Butchers to Blame.
Sometimes the butcher himself does
not wow whether it is good or not.
tuberculosis is being scattered broad

that is afflicted with tuberculosis and
the public should be aroused. There
should be local inspection. Every city
and village should provide for local

TRY TO HOLD UP
GOVERNMENT ON COAL
Financial Interest. Pool Issues
and Secure Options on Many
Tramp Golfers.

Washington, Dec. 3.-One more,
effort is being made TO mulct Uncle,
Sam in connection With the supply of
coal for the battleship fleet, during it's
Pacific cruise.
According to circumstantial report.
which in nigh quarters is believed to
Sc we'll grounded, a combination of
powerful financial interests is now Sc
.uring options on the time and serv-.
ees of all available tramp steamers
which would be available for use as
GOLFERS with the fleet. and proposed,
as soon as it has the tonnage under
control, to put up the price to a point
which will force the government to
oay a huge profit to the Spectators
who organized the scheme.
Organizing such a combine is not
so difficult as might be imagined. YES
sells engaged i'm regular trade do not
need be considered, because they cnuid
aot afford to leave established routes;
and lose their business in order so
secure engagement for a short time as
Golfers, even at good prices. Wht,i
it was planned to send the first 100
200 tons, in advance of the fleet. tll.,~
was a shortage of GOLFERS and the tii,o
vas pushed up to an eXorbitant figure.
This pushed the expense OF delivering
that 100, 1000 tons of coal S1,1OO, 600,
and suggested the idea of a light COM
bination to make the government pay
still more for the additional coal it
will need to bring the fleet home.
Both domestic and foreign bottoms.
according to the eport. are being OPP
:ioned by this combination. which is
represented in Washington by a gent
teman affiliated with a powerful west
.rn financial interest. The government
will need about 1000 tons OF coal per
month. delivered to the fleet during the
period beginning with the departure
IF the vessels from the Atlantic sta
ton. If the ships come home via Ma
gellan. this will mean about 100, 900
tons more Of coal to bring them. IL
they come by way of Japan. Asia and
Che Suez. it will take about $50, OO0
tons to bring them.
