Many persons who cat this tripe incur a
definite risk to their health. The new
meat inspection law of the United States
and the regulations made hereunder
have now made it Illegal for American
packers to use borax or boric acid, sui
phitcs or sulphurous acid and certain
other prescrvative rubstancecs in the pre-
psration Of the meat foods.
The American packer who prepares pre-
served trlpe of tho kind above considered,
IL he is to comply with the new law and
new official regulations has to carry out
the rreservative treatment in portions Of
his establishment which are specially set
aside for the purpose and must label his
preserved products in prescribed manner
to indicate that the goods are Intended
solely for export. In these special portions
Of his premises the packer is permitted by
the meat inspection law to carry out any
prescrva tive treatment which he requires
for his foreign trade. provided that no
substance is used in the preparation or
packing in conflict with the laws of the
foreign country to which the articles to
be exported.
The British laws do not in the present
circumstances afford any protection in
this respect to the British consumer.
The total amount Of cooked or uncooked
foreign preserved trlpe imported into the
United Kingdom is small by comparison
with the total quantity of tripe available
to the British consumer.
These kinds OF tripc appear to consti-
tute n distinct risk to health which it is
desirable to remove. Prohibition Of their
importation would cause little or no
difference in the supply of this important
food to the public. It would no doubt
affect the United states trade but 1t
would be open to American traders to
revise their methods

CORD TWISTED ABOUT NECK.

Swanton, Jan. cS-Mystery surrounds
the discovery to-day of a murdered mai
in the woods about one half mile this
side Of Swanton Junction The frozen
body was found by Charles Bachand, n
woodchoppcr. as he was going to his
work this morning. He Immediately
notified the authorities and the body was
viewed by States Attorney Topper,
Deputy Sheriff John Miles. Constable
Nolan, Selectman Donaldson and others.
The victim was young Polandcr or
Italian, about 9 years old Around his
neck was a strong cord and in It was
twisted a stick about eighteen inches
long, which evidently had been used by
the murderer in stranglng his victim.
About the body were signs of a struggle
and some blood marks. From the deep
marks in tho ground IL seems probable
that the deed wa. committed during tho
recent thaw as the footprints were sunk
moro deeply than would have been
possible in freezing weather.
The authorities are positive that it is
case of murder because it would have
been impossible for the man to have
taken his own life in the manner in
dicated, His clothing shows tina. he was
a laborer but nothing on the body offers
positive clue as to his identity, neither is
he known in this neighborhood.
The body was ordered removed to a
local undertaking establishment, where
it will be held in an effort to learn who
the dead man was and who killed him.

STAFF INADEQUATE.

From the latest reports received the
staff Of inspectors at packing houses
must often have been wholly inadequate
to secure a thorough inspection Of car
cases from disease on the lines of the
official instructions.
However hard working and competent
the inspectors may have been, they have
evidently hcon too few for the proper
performance Of inspection with regard to
disease which the label of United
states inspected has profcssed to sig
Nifty.
Previously there had been practically
no control over the proceedings of pack
ers once the carcasscs had passed the in
spectors tnui the last year at any rate,
the official labels have had no significance
as regard preparation. cleanliness. chem
ical treatment and the like Of meat i'm
ported In the form OF scraps. The new
United States meat inspection law has
greatly increased the official staff OF in
spectors
II has extended their supervision to all
parts OF the packers premises and it may
10 taken to have already effected I'M
proVemcnts which are to the advantage
OF tho British consumer Of American
meat foods. But although henceforth the
label United States Inspected will no
doubt mean moro than in the past it
would he rash at this stage to place too
great reliance upon its significance when
attached to boxes containing such a COM
modify as scrap meat prepared for eX-
port.

London, Jan. est is often said that
America sends her best beef, bacon and
other foodstuffs to England but IL the
latest report Of Or. G. Buchanan, inspoc-
tor Of foods Of the British local govern
ment board, can be relied upon, Great
Britain receives vast amount of

which has been packed in boxes and

merous articles included in the trade in
American frozen box meat, which has
been increasing in recent years.
The boneless beef received in England
from the United States consists mainly

OF INFERIOR QUALITY.
They come, says the English inspector
of foods, from animals whose meat is of
inferior quality to that which is exported
to Great Britain in half or quarter car
cases as chilled meat In summer the
trade does not pay. in consequence of the
quiCkness with which the contents of the
boxes may go bad after leaving cold stor-
age. This Is characteristic of homeless
chucks and seems to be generally recog-
nzed by the meat inspectors at the CEN
tral markets in London, who find that
utter the contents of tho boxes have
thaved their appearance soon becomes
unsatisfactory.
The wholesale price of beef chucks is
usually three pence per pound. Their chief
sale is in Glasgow and the north of Eng
and In Glasgow American homeless
nhucks are largely used to make minced

STRAIGHT FROM COLD STORE.

In the meat market the boxes are
brought straight from the cold store
and their contents are usually still fro
zen when seen by the market inspec-
tors. Much boneless meat goes

chaser without passing through the

foods, whether any system of inspec-
ton, however rigid, can be regarded
as satisfactory in the case of meat pre-
pared for export in the form OF scrap
eat
This form is rightly held in consider
able suspicion by the health authorities.
In the experience of Great Britain It
has been found specially convenient TO
traders wishing to make profitable use
of bad or doubtful meat of all kinds.
Preparations of scrap meat. often of
inferior quality to begin with. must
involve considerable amount Of
handling. Scraps may be collected from
dirty floors or have been thrown into
unclcan reccptacles. or are liable to
have been iirtied or contaminated in
ways.
Save for certain questions regarding
tuberculosis. the Instructions Of the
United states bureau of animal indus
try to the inspectors appeared to con
stitute code which could be regarded
as generally satisfactory from the
health point OF view But. says the
British inspector. IT is quite another
question how these regulations worked
in practice. There were serious doubts
as to the uniform efficiency OF the sys-
tenn of inspection pursued.

DESCRIPTION OF BODY.
The body lay with head down show
in at glance the cause of death. a
stout piece Of sisal cord knotted tight
~ about the neck in which a stout
stick had been inserted and used as n
twister to tighten the cord and then
stuck down tho coat collar Of the dead
man. thus holding the cord securely in
place. The corpse is that OF a Young
man. stockily built about : teet :
inches, very dark Commissioned and
without doubt. a foreigner. probably a
Polander or Italian. His face had been
scratched and bruised showing evil
dences of a struggle while the arms
were held riGidlv in front. as though
they had been held by a second accomp-
lice while the murderer garroted the
victim
In the pockets of the dead man was
a pay envelope. dated December 8,
marked to contain SIS and marked
with the number 90. There was also
wallet containing 81 all in Canadian
change. string OF prayer beads. a
Catholic prayer book thought to he
printed in Polish, a new shirt. white
and red. and some cotton cloth
The only signs of tracks near by
were those Of a sleigh and also the
single footprints OF a man leading up
to the hollow where the body was
found. One theory is that the muir
der was done elsewhere and
the victim either brought to the place
in a sleigh or on the back of strong
man. Around the spot whore the body
was found were the deeply sunken
footprints of one man, mixed with
blood and snow, the tracks leading off
to meadow where they were soon
lost as the snow melted.
HINTS OF "BI.ACK HAND"
No one has yet been found who saw
or heard OF a fight anywhere around
here, or heard any cries OF assistance;
neither can anyone yet indemnity the vic
tim. It Is possible that he is one OF
the numerous members OF the gang OF
foreign laborers who have been employ
ed on the new water works system now
being put in between Fairfield pond end
Swanton; the laborcrs on this job are
almost entirely foreigners, and a wicked
and desperate looking lot. Of whom many
hard stories are reported Strong hints
OF the "black hand" and its terrorizing
methods OF extortion have been thrown
out by some OF the gang who have quit
work and gone back to New York.
Three different Italians have told OF
being followed and held up and made
to disgorge with the greater portion OF
their earnings. before being allowed to
depart, and all were sent OF with a part
ing Injunction. never IL they valued their
life to tell Of what hac happened. One
theory is that this man refused to pay
the tribute demanded and so paid for it
with his life.

TUBERCULOSIS IN PIGS.

AS regards tuberculosis in pigs the meat
of which is to be exported to the United
Kingdom, the official instructions to the
United States meat inspectors differ from
the recommendations OF the royal COM
mission OF 1928.
As matters now stand therefore, If the
label United States inspected" on pack
ages Of box pork from the United States
be accepted at its minimum value it af-
fords guarantee that the meat does not
come from animals suffering from certain
severe forms OF tuberculosis, but II does
not attest that none of the meat Is de-
rived from tuberculous pigs. Indeed, the
United States regulations justify the as
sumption that some of the box pork
comes from animals affected by tubor-
culoss.
! understand that the royal commission
is now enga ged in Investigations relating
more directly to pig tuberculosis. The re-
suits Of these investigations when avail
able will obviously require careful study,
and possibly a further extension in par
ticular directions before the board could
be in a position to consider whether the
standard which it has advised the local
authorities to adopt on the authority OF
Inc VI lHhN NHouN ~ IhI-
Their insisted upon or should be modti fed
in particular directions,
But there seems no reason to wait until
a large policy In regard to home meat in
spection applicable to such questions as
tuberculosis In pigs has been formulated
and set going or to wait for the result
of a detailed inquiry as TO the relative
degree of danger from the meat Of pigs
affected by tuberculosis Of one or another
variety, in order to improve til present
position with regard to tuberculosis in
imported pork. II in the interim meas
ures can be taken TO secure greater
wholesomeness as regards tuberculosis
of the larger part OF the pork consumed
ir this country, that which comes in from
abroad considerable advantage would
be gained from the point OF view OF tho
public health while incidentally a just
cause of complaint from the home trad
ers would be removed.
