Notwithstanding Its apathy and as
poor as the city inspection Is at the
Stock Yards because of the very small
number of inspectors. the government
inspection Is worse. In fact the govern.
ment inspection Is farce as Is proven
by the following extract from the Chi.
cagO Health Department report for the
week ending September Is, 1906:
''rhe Department Inspectors ut the
Union Stock Yards condemned and de.
stroyed 05.GOS pounds Of meats. OF
this amount 11,545 pounds were con.
demned by the Department Inspectors
after having been passed by other In.
spectors."

What object can the members Of tho

The Beef Trust continues to spread
tuberculosis, cancer and other diseases
with impunity.
One fact that escapes general atten'
ton IL that the lntestines, blood, liv'
or. heart and lights Tor lungs) Of au
animal are already used before the
carcass proper gets to the inspector
This includes also what Is known al
the gut fats, out Of which lard, suet
table oils and various other things
are made.
Al soon a. q beef 10 killed, Il Il
hung up by the heels and disembow
eled.
All Of the "innards" are hauled
away.
Even the blood 10 received into Z
receptacle and carried OF to b,
made into blood sausage. beef extract
and the like.
The intestines are carried to thl
sausage rooms to be used 40 castings.
The stomach goes elsewhere 10 b
used AZ tripe.
The liver. lights, heart, ETC.. nnd 4
ready market
And. mind you. every bit Of these
portions Of the ''critter" are used
whether 1t Ia suffering from cancer
tuberculosis. lumpy Jaw, or any othel
disease.
The carcass after Its "innards' ar,
removed Is swung along and carried Il
another place where the inspectors pass
upon 1t or pretend to pass upon It.
