BOSTON, March 23.-The soci-
ETY. for the prevention of cruelty to
animals has introduced a measure
now being considered by the de
partment of health, providing that
animals intended for food shall
be thrown and stunned before be-
ing slaughtered, and no animals
shall be suspended by its legs be-
fore it is deprived of sensation,
Rabbis and physicians have begun
a campaign against the proposed
law.
The shochet ia the name of the
professional slaughterer of cattle
and fowl. There are many hun
dreds of them in New York and
in other cities in proportion. The
Mosaic law against trefah, or for
hidden unclean food, and for
kosher or clean food has been am
plified in post-biblical times by the
rabbis, who seem to have known
the germ theory and rules of sani-
tation, some of which have only
recently been discovered by scien-
lists.
Because of these laws an observ-
ing Jew is secure against cattle and
fowl that have died natural
death and are therefore dangerous
to health, and he is also secure
against contagious and infectious
diseases often taken into the hui
man system by eating tainted food.
When meat is three days old it
is no longer kosher.
Cattle or fowl must be killed in
.stantly by the shochet with a sin
gle stroke of the knife, cutting the
jugular vein. If there are any
notches in the knife the meat is
discarded as unfit. In that case
the animal might have suffered
pain and corruption set in, making
the meat unwholesome.
That, however, is the least i'm
portant of the precautions. The
lungs are carefully examined for
signs of tuberculosis. If there is
any doubt, the lungs are filled with
hot water, and if the water trickles
through the meat is trefal. This
careful examination is not confined
TO the lungs. All the intestines are
as carefully examined, and if there
is any doubt or any controversy be-
tween the owner and the shochet,
the final verdict is left to a supe-
rior authority, in most cases an

shall was general manager of the de-
partment store OF Moses & wainwright.
Therefore. Miss Cleo heard much
shop talk. About the only thing that
interested her. however. was the talk
about shoplifters. The store was
constantly troubled with them, and it
was only at long intervals that one
was caught, although a store detective
was supposed to have her eyes every
where.

that she would be discharged at the

in very serious tone:

More laughing.

No, she did not confess. She turn
