head and broken heart behind the
bodies of three of his beloved.
A detail of police was placed about

MOSES ORIGINAL
MEAT INSPECTOR
CHIEF NELSON ADDRESSES EN-
PLoYEs OF HEALTH BOARD
Packers and Owners Interests Rather
Than Consumers Welfare First
Prompted General inquiry
Into Herds

Chief Meat Inspector John Nelson
addressed the Health Inspectors asso-
citation last night on Meat Inspection"
Meat inspection is of more ancient
origin than any other branch of work
embraced in this organization, said
Inspector Nelson.
THE first meat inspector of recorded
date was Moses, but as the ordinance
under which he performed his duties
has long since been returned to dust
and as the records of his condemna
tions are not any longer on file within
the reach of the ordinary man l deem
it advisable to pass along to a more
recent date and confine myself to meat
inspection as 1t works today.
For Packers sake
inspection embraces the prevention
of disease to humans, but / regret to
say that when the laws were first
passed the human element was second
ary and the primary object was to help
the cattle growers and packers in
terests.
mot until the terrible plague affected
animals threatening to decimate hogs
and cattle of the middle west and south
ern states was any effort exercised by
federal and state authorities to effi-
cientiy inspect stock, thus preventing
dissemination of disease and restrain
ing I0e sale OF lnIecIeu dIllllldlS.
Moneys spent for inspection have
proved a profitable investment for the
cattle and meat men.
Saves Millions
Before inspection became general
the annual losses sustained on cattle
and swine alone amounted to $75, ,000, ,009
Since the enforcement of sanitary regu-
lations this has been reduced to
s., GOO 900.
ut is estimated that the value of
diseased carcasses condemned by the
B. A. l. in one year amounts to $4,000, :
900. This goes to prove the necessity
of rigid municipal meat inspection.
Meat from such carcasses would result
seriously to human beings II used as
food.
cit has been estimated that one out
of fifty in cattle in thickly settled por-
tions oe Europe and America is tuber-
culous. In American range cattle this
estimate is too great. In dairies the
estimate is much too low.
Swine Most Susceptible
"Of meat producing animals the pig
is probably the most susceptible. The
OK. sheep and goats follow in that
order. Goats, however. are so rare'y
affected that they require little con-
sideration.
"As the disease increases in cattle so
also il becomes more prevalent in hogs.
I'm Southern California, for instance,
the percentage of swine affected with
tuberculosis greatly exceeds the per-
centage found in cattle, as shown by
actual post mortem. However this is
probably far from correct, owing to the
fact that few of our dairy cattle have
come under careful veterinary ex-
animation. Hogs as a rule have, when
slaughtered come under more or less
expert examination"

has shown more favors.
Some weeks ago Simeon moved into

on the top floor in order to be near
Miss Nederkon. Her room was on the
second floor and each day as he came
in Simeon stopped at her door and left
some little token with her.
Yesterday afternoon his Offering took
the form of bunch of unusually fine
bananas. The girl took the. fruit and
laid it on table and after talking
for a few minutes with Simeon ex-
cused herself and left the room.

then a few minutes later returned to
the girls apartment. He entered, and
opening a drawer in washstand took
a bottle of carbolie acid and raised it
to his lips
