DANGER IN MEAT
H4LF UNINSPECTED.
DR.. MeIviE Asks States and
Cities to Help Government.

washington, Jan. 2-Thst half the meat
eaten in the United States can be called
unfnspected. and that 2 real and serious
danger te the public exists as result. is
ane OF the conclusions reached by DR.. A. D.
Melvin, chiet of The Bureau OF Animal IN
,sustry. in his annual report TO the secre-
Tsrv OF Agriculture
Inemaency of the government inspection,
because Of its lack of authority 20 reach
business done entirely within a state, IS
given as one OF the cauees. and DR. Melvin
points out the great need Of supplesnenting
the government inspection Of meats with
state and municipal inspections.
One result OF the federal inspection is TO
cause the diversion of diseased and sus-
ricious looking animals 10 the uninspected
establishments where they are slaughtered
for the local market.
Many cities have an inspection service,
the report says, but very few have an
adequate force, and the inspection often
consists OF merely examining the meat as
offered fer sale IN the markets. when il is
Usually impossible to detect disease, the
evidence OF which may have been removed
--ith the viseera or organs. As rule, SAM
AIRY conditions are very bad az urinspected
slaughter houses, and in order TO provide
real protection against diseased or uh-
-hoiesone meat competent veterinary
and sanitary inspection at the time OF
slaughter Is essential
Despite the shortcomings Of the inspec-
ton il has many advantages, ard Is pro

such instances says DR.. Melvin,
should be sufficient to show that credence
