When We Fellows Said Don't

DO you remember the grlSly old Jungle" days
when we gagged at the very thought of meat?
Young Upton Sinclair went to Chicago, saw rotten
meat being embalmed for our innocent paates and
had the courage to tell us about it.
rs We howled and we said to government at
Washington: "Do something to stop the outrage,
and do it quick!'
So the government arranged system of meat
inspection by government agents.
The great meat trust screamed injustice
talked about government interference" and all
that sort of thing. But fellows had said do it,
and the packers scream was soon s1nOthered into
mere gurgle.
The meat inspection bureau of the department
or agriculture has just given out report showing
that in year those inspectors sent to the pack
ing houses have condemned 25,0O0000 pounds of bad
meat. They looked over 35,672, OTIS slaughtered ami
mails, and found over a million of these unfit for
food
Think of thatl One in every 35 was dangerous
as food We know now that we did good job in
sending out those inspectors. The meat trust may
have made pay their losses, but they didn't
make lis eat rotten meat. We will stop them
from overcharging us WHEN WE GET MAD
ENOUGH
Roosevelt had some pretty good ideas regard
ing inspection and control of predatory trusts. He
got some of these ideas from the Jungle affair.
The gentleman he told silly geese to elect his
successor also has ideas about "cOntrol and nspec
ton of trusts. His latest one was to have sys
tenn for inspection and control of those trusts that
willing to be inspected controlled. 1t must
be voluntary from them he says
Lucky that Taft wasn't president four years
ago. isn't its If he had been and had practced the
plan he now suggests, would have eaten to date
some 1O00O0,000 pounds of bad meat at the rate of
250OO,O0O pounds per year.
What do you think of that voluntary trust
curb? Doesn't it make you sort of tired?

Cat Adopts Little Rat.

East Moline, ILL.,, Aug. 29.-The
strangest thing that any inhabitant
hereabouts claims to have seen is the
sight of a Maltese cat nursing little
rat among her own four little kittens.
The cat and her compost family are
now on exhibition at the City Hotel,
East Moline.
A gray Maltese cat recently gave
birth to four kittens, which have not
as yet gotten their eyes open. The
old cat was seen coming from barn
near by with little rat in her mouth.
The cat has always been terror to
rats and mice in the neighborhood.
The cat carried the little thing by the
nape of the neck, in the same man.
ner that she always carried her own
little kittens, to the box in the kitchen
in which was her own little family,
and placed the little stranger inside,
and there it has remained ever since.
The cat nurses the little rat, ticks it
and takes care of it just the same as
she does each one of her kittens.
