UNINSPECTED MEAT
IS DANGEROUS TO COUNTRY

competent inspection, the service
has been unjustly attacked, the report
asserts. The incident at East st
Louis is recalled and DR.. Melvin says
the charges there had their foundation
in animus and not in fact. In some
cases other attacks were the result
Of ignorance Of conditions or misrep-
resentation Of facts. Thorough inves-
tigation of some cases of ptomaine
poisoning charged to meat, proved
that in not one of the instances could
the trouble be properly ascribed to
that cause. In other cases, typhoid
fever had been found in schools where
reports of ptomaine poisoning were
circulated.

d A. D. Melvin Says That Half
OF Meat Consumed Here
Y Is Uninspected.

Washington, Jan. 4.-That half the
meat eaten in the United States can
be called uninspected and that real
and serious danger to the public ex-
lists as result, is one of the conclu-
sions reached by DR.. A. ID. Melvin,
Chief of the United States Bureau OF
Animal Industry, in his annual report
to the Secretary of Agriculture.
Inefficiency of the government in
spection because of it's lack of author
ity to reach business done entirely
within state, is given as one of the
causes, and DR.. Melvin points out the
great need of supplementing the gov
eminent inspection of meats with
state and municipal inspections.
One result of the federal inspection
is to cause the diversion of diseased
and suspicious looking animals to the
uninspected establishments where
they are slaughtered for the local mar.
ket says the report
Inadequate Force.
Many cities have an inspection ser.
vice but very few have an adequate
force, and the inspection often con-
sists Of merely examining the meat
as offered for sale in the markets,
when it is usually impossible to de.
tect disease the evidence of which
may have been removed with the vir-
cera or organs" says DIR. Melvin.
AS a rule, sanitary conditions are
very bad at uninspected slaughter
houses and in order to provide real
wholesome meat competent veteri
nary and sanitary inspection at the
time OF slaughter is essential"

Stuttgart.-Germany is literally
cverrun with doctors. Drs. Reuss and
Rosner Of this city have compiled in
teresting statistics concerning the
number Of physicians in the empire
The population in 1885 was. in round
numbers, 100000 In 1907 1t was
$1,000 000-an increase of 80 per cent
In 1885 the number of physicians was
about $4,000, or one to every 1000
persons. In 1907 the number of ply
sicians had increased to 10000, or one
to every 1000 persons. The increase
in physicians in this period was, there.
fore. proportionately more than three
times greater than the increase in
population.
In 1885. about 100000 persons in
Germany were insured against sick
ness. and paid 100000 marks for
medical attendance. In 1907. more
than 100000 persons were insured
against sickness and they paid &c..
100000 marks for medical attention.
Thus the average income of the Ger

The figures are taken to indicate
that not only are the Germans grow

their civilization and the pressure of

Some Are Unworthy.

Should be sufficient to show that ere
dence should not be placed in reports

ton"
In force Of $500 people engaged
in inspecting meat, DR.. Melvin de-
clares, it would not be unusual if
some one were found unworthy. All
men are liable to errors in judgment,
and considering the immense amount
Of meat inspected, if it should hap
pen that meat which should be con.
demned were passed, the amount was
such an infinitesimal part of the entire
quantity that it did not affect the
value and the integrity of the service
as a whole.
Some Statistics.
More than 100000 animals were
inspected at the time of slaughter dur
ing the fiscal year just closed and
more than 100000 were condemned
in whole or n part. On re-inspection
more than 100000 pounds of meat
and meat products were condemned

NEW YORK, July 8.--Arthur Weeb-
er, OF Jackson, Mich, and Miss Flor
ence Kertland, of London, were mar
ried by the Rev. DR.. McCandless, Of
the Episcopal mission, on Ellis Island.
The wedding was the elimination of a
romance not without its humorous
side.
Weber came here from England
three years ago and settled In Michi-
gan. He made money there, and a
sweetheart.
Weber, in America few years ago,
had a desire to have. the girl OF his
choice cross the ocean In something
like style and comfort, and so sent her
$3.50 with instructions To come over
second class.
When the money arrived in England
brilliant sidea seized the bride-elect.
In addition 20 coming herself. she de-
termined TO bring with her her sister
and her sisters child; the sister, Mrs.
Plat, being very comely widow. To
do this il was necessary to travel In

Majestic last week.

came on from Jackson.
my word" said he; "but didn't
say TO bring your family I'm not mar
rying the family"
In vain the sister protested that 1t
had cost no more TO bring her and the
child, and, besides, II they all went to
Michigan they could all be SO we'll on.
1t would be like starting with ready
made family.
Il can't see II that way" said the
man from Michigan.
Nothing could move him. The idea
OF family that was grown up and a
sister.in-law and a niece did not appeal
to him. He talked it over, and Miss
Kertland, who was growing tired OF
the Ellis Island view and the bill-of-
fare, agreed that perhaps after all a
man might really care for a girl and
still not wish to have her family sad
died upon him for life, because IL the
sister and child were admitted the
husband had to say he would take care
of them.
The couple, after their wedding,
started for Michigan. The sister and
child will go back to England.
