Texas City Runs Its Own Abattoir

The health of the people was con
stantly menaced by the unsanitary
conditions under which the animals
were slaughtered and the meats han
died.
These private slaughter houses were
rudely constructed and most Of them
were in some swamp or thicket. Dur
ing the summer flies were about the
premises in untold millions. They
covered the slaughtered animals. The
odor was terrific, and, indeed, the
whole surroundings were such that 1t
appeared to all that the meat slaugh-
tered under such conditions was not
at all fit for food.
The city then determined to estab-
lish its own abbatoir and to provide
rules and regulations that would In
sure the slaughtering Of only healthy
and aforementioned animals and the
delivery to the people of meat in per
feet sanitary condition. The PROPOSE
ton was agitated and met with gen.
eral favor on the part of the public.
An issue Of $4,000 Of bonds was voted
for the construction of the plant. It
was equipped with sanitary arrange
ments and is modern and complete in
every respect.

ceased to be useful because Of their
general unpopularity.
The silence" is most effective in
the mess hall, and 1t is here that It is
almost invariably sprung" While
discipline is relaxed at mess. neverthe.
less the etiquette is strict. A cadet
captain, by virtue of his corps rank, is
superintendent Of the mess. At the
head Of each table sits a number OF
the first class-the graduating class.
Every private Of the first class is an
assistant of the mess hall under the
cadet captain, and the tables take
their cue from HIS conduct at all times.
Tables do not ply knife and fork until
the first class man gives. silent per
mission. When 1t is agreed to infict
silence" on an officer, no one looks al
him as he appears in the mess hall.
The first class men at the heads Of the
tables fold their arms and look
straight ahead. The second, third
and fourth class men initiate the att.
tude. There is absolute silence, not
a sound or a movement being made to
break the stiffness.
The extreme penalty provided by
law for this degree Of characterization
is dismissal from the academy. Elk
IRENE measures, however. are resort
ed to only in unusual cases.
