We take the following from pages

tucky Agricultural Experiment sta.
ton to the governor OF Kentucky on

The manufacturers whose sausages
were found to contain boracic acid or

Company, Chicago.
"in the fall Of 1908. Mr.. C. ]. Tress.
called at the office and stated that
Swift & Co. had eliminated boracic
acid and color from meat products
FOR SALE IN KENTUCKY, and that
there would be no further shipments
containing these substances into the
state"
The report continues:
"The packing houses need inspection
to control adulterations which the
packer Is permitted, without restraint
10 add to meat products, just as much
as the inspection which the Federal
Government conducts with reference to
the physiological whOlesOmeness of the
animal. While boracc acid into meats
OF otherwise superior quality, the chief
reason for using antiseptics, artificial
colors and other adulterants IL to dis
gulse deficiencies, or its method of
preservation, and when these aduter-
| atlons are restricted the result must
be a higher standard In the product to
| be packed, better methods Of packing
and preservation and more whole
some and perfect food"
Recent investigations have undOubt.
| edly shown that the federal inspec-
tion over the physiological condition of
packing house meats Is not thorough,
and that some OF the animal PROD
UCT UNFIT FOR FOOD IS PUT UP
AND PASSED TO CONSUMERS UN-
DER THE GUARANTEE OF THE
MEAT INSPECTION STAMP The
antlseptlc and the anlline dye are the
chief means by which the consumer Is
deceived into believing that this In.
ferlor or condemned meat Is pure and
wholesome"
