Tuberculosis IL becoming epidemic.
The Beef Trust products afflicted with
tuberculosis can be sold without let or
hindrance, when past inspection"
The school management committee OF
the Board Of Education took active
steps to prevent children afflicted with
tuberculosis from attending school, A
report drafted by Superintendent
Cooley and DR.. p. d. Dudley was adopt
ed, which provides that when teacher
suspects that any child IL affected with
the disease It shall be made known
10 the superintendent Of schools by the
principal. After the parents Of the
child are notified the pupil will be ex-
amined by medical inspectors Of the
child study department. Parents will
be given permission to have their finn.
lily physician present ut the examine
ton.
The poor children who got the tuber-
culosis from meat must suffer.
We can see from the Health Depart.
mcnt reports that STATE and govern.
ment inspection does not prevent tuber.
culosls beef from getting into the cool.
ers from which the public In served.
The statement that there IRE $1,000
cvnsumptives In Chicago was made nt

Nurse Association by Mr.. Arthur Adds,
chairman Of the tuberculosis commit.
tet. DIR. Sachs spoke. urging drastic
action By the BOnrd Of Health to stamp
out the disease.
Tuberculosis is Beef disease.
1t is not hereditary.
| 1t IL not contracted from Impure nlr.
1t In contracted by eating bud meat
sold by sOrdid and conxcienceless men
who think more Of dollars than they
do Of human lives.
II any Of your relatives have tiber.
culosis you know who to blame.
The homes saddened by the deaths
Of husbands, wives, fathers, n0theru,
brothers, sisters, sons and daughters,
The people poverty stricken BY con.

There Ia a day Of reckoning for these
barons Of blood and tyrants Of the
Trust!
The Chicago Eagle will keep upon

ment inspection.
But the Insignificant number Of city
Of Chicago inSpectOrs--Only IL In oil
although now strangely discontinued
-was still sufficient to Gull attention to
horrible facts.
The following from the Chicago
Health Department Bulletin Of OctO.
Der 2s, 1905, speaks for Itself:
The city inspectors Mt the Union
Stock Yards condemned "FIVE CAT.

AFTER HAVING BEEN PASSED BY
THE GOVERNMENT INSPECTORS
'SThey also condemned and destroyed
3,O93 pounds Of cut meats shipped from
st. Louis and Kansas City, having
passed government inspection 1T those
places"
This shows the sort Of government
Inspection we have.
