Il it should happen on rare occasions
hat meat which should be condemned
: passed, the amount is such an m
.initesmal part of the entire quantity
that it does not affect the value ana
integrity of the service as whole.
The large amount OF meat actually
condemned is good evidence of the
care and thoroughness of the lnspec-
ton.
There is. however, real and serious
danger to the public from unlnspected
meat. and almost half of the meat
consumed in this country comes with
in that class. The Federal authority
does not reach the business done en-
tirely within a state, and the people
must look to their state and local au-
thorities to protect them against the
danger from that source. one result
of the Federal inspection is to cause
the diversion Of diseased and sus-
picious looking animals to the unln-
spected establishments Where they are
slaughtered for the local market.
Many cities have an inspection service,
but very few have an adequate force,
and the inspection often consists mere
ly in the examination of meat as OF
fered for sale in the markets, when II
is usually impossible to detect disease,
the evidence of which may have been
removed with the Viscera or organs.
AS a rule sanitary conditions are very
bad at uninspected slaughterhouses.
In order to provide real protection
against diseased or unwholesome meat
n competent veterinary and sanitary
inspection at the time of slaughter is
essential There is great need for
supplementing the Federal inspection
with state and municipal inspection.

BAD RURAL ROADS ARE

Secretary Knox Declares Conn
try Must he Made More

Washington, Jan. 24.-secretary
Knox declares that the congestion of
population in great cities is caused in
large part by the lack Of good roads
10 this country. He told the House
committee on foreign affairs that the
reason France was the best agricul-
tuTal country in The world was be-
cause she had good roads So long.
Said he:
The agricultural population of
France does not have 70 anand IT,
money in repairing vehicles and har-
ness every winter. / think ii has i'm
proved the attractiveness Of rural
life. | think it has caused the popu-
lation to remain on the soil more.
than in any country"
The subject came up in connection
with the consideration for an appro-
priation for the participation Of the
United States in the permanent as
ISOLATION Of roads congress- an inter-
national affair, and the secretary
seized the opportunity TO declare his
interest in good roads. He also made
the interesting statements that auto
mobiles were working havoc with
roads generally.
All Of you who have travelled in
France in the last year or two know
that their roads are wearing out Mr..
Knox said. The automobiles have
destroyed the surface Of the French
roads and they are anxious to coop
crate with the other powers to see il
some new methods cannot be devised
for The protection Of roads that will
meet the demands upon hem"
The secretary succeeded in getting
the appropriation.

Potatoes Preserved on Coke

a. new method for keeping pota-
toes and preventing spouting is re-
ported BY Richard Guenther, U. s.,
consul at Frankfort. Germany. It
consists of placing them on a layer
of coke, and Doctor Schiller, of
Brunswick who is responsible for the
idea, is Of the opinion that the im-
proved ventilation thus gained is not
alone responsible for the result. He
believes It is due TO the oxidation of
coke which however, is d very slow
one. Coke contains sulphur, and he
considers it quite possible that the
minute quantities Of oxides Of carbon
and sulphur which result from The OK

fcient TO greatly retard spronting.

Smoothed back my rufied hair.

Be brave and strong, so We are told;
Live on and struggle with the
