WANT PURITY
c. A. C. MEN AFTER MEAT
AND MILK SUPPLY
Profs. Carlyle and Glover Draft
Bill for Legislature for
Protection of Public
Health

Dean w. L. Carlyle and DR..
George Fl. Glover of the Agricultural
college have stirred up the animals
to considerable extent by going
after the legislature to have that
body pass meat and milk inspection
bill. A bill has been drawn up by
those two gentlemen upon request Of
Governor Bucthel and representatives
are being urged to vote for same.
Following is an interview with
Prof. Carlyle, published in the Dem
yer News Monday morning of this
week:
ANY man in Colorado who cares
to invest few dollars is at liberty
to purchase any COW, be she suffering
from lumpy jaw, tuberculosis or any
disease transmissable to man, to
slaughter her in any way he chooses
and to sell the meat on the open
market as prime beef.
ANY dairyman in the state may
feed his COWS on garbage and range
them on rubbish, where gusts Of
wind stir the dust which settled In
the buckets and open milk cans.
The men who do the milking may
do so without even SO much as clean
ing the udders OF the cows, which
may be coated with filth. The milk
that we buy may come from cows In
the last stages Of consumption, and
may be swarming With hActasse --assas

tions Is to healthfulness on eithsr
the meat or the milk dealer. They
are at liberty to prepare our meat
or milk in the cheapest way they
can, and to sell it to US without ex.
animation Of any kind. The con-
sumner has no way of testing meats or
milk, and does not know whether he
is getting pure or diseased stufi.
The state spends thousands OF dollars
in protecting wealth and not q cent
on prevention of disease and prema-
ture death.
Filthy Stables.
1.-THE dairies located about the
principal cities of Colorado are in
many instances in deplorable con-
dition. The poor and the decrepit
old COWS are kept in filthy stables
and MIXED by men who have no
conception of cleanliness, who wet
their hands while milking and the
drippings run freely into the milk,
that is later sold to noulish helpless
babes and invalids. Many of these
COWS have to drink stagnant water,
NAV be infested, in many instances,
with typhoid germs.
Every COW supplying milk for
sale in this state should have GER
titicate of health, and the local
municipalities should require
health certificate from the dairy In
spector which should state that the
animals have been Inspected and
were in good health. They should
not only inspect the manner IN
which the milk is taken from the
cows. the condition OF the stables
and corrals, the way the dairyman
keeps his cans and bottles, but they
should also, test the COWS for tuoer-
culosis. tuberculosis is q most IN
sidious disease. and an animal may
have It in the advanced state ana
vet not show 1t, as has been proven
Inv the fact that some OF the prize
winners In our great live stock exhi-
bitions upon being slaughtered nave
been found to be with but re"
healthy organs.
Reliable Test.

re,iable. and indicates the presence
of tuberculosis with unfailing reg"'
