DANGER FROM MEAT
STILL MENACES US
Diseased Animals Delivered to
UninspeCted Slaughter Houses

Washington, Jan. 3.-That half
the meat eaten in the United States
can be called uninspected and that a
real and serious danger to the public
exists as a result, is one of the con-
illusions reached by DR.. 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 its lack of au-
thority to reach business done entire
ly within a state, is given as one of
the causes, and 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
are slaughtered for the local market,
says the report.
