PEOPLE MUST BE PROTECTED

cooked that they had to be thrown
away.
THE tag required by the ordinance
will be "a tracer. so that if a bad fowl
is found on sale the board of health
can trace it back to the guilty slaughter
house.
"Poultrymen who slaughter properly
and clearly have nothing to fear from
the ordinance. Those who slaughter
improperly and uncleanly ought to be
corrected
DECLINED TO CONFER.
THE board OF health asked the pro-
duce men and retailers on two occa-
sions to meet and confer on a poultry
ordinance, and none of them came.
II we listen to them we will never
have an ordinance that amounts to any
thing, not because they want to disre-
gard the public health but because they
feel apprehensive when any new change
is proposed. If we had listened to the
butchers we wouldn't have the abattoir
ordinance today, and people would be
still eating meat that came from foul
slaughter pens"
The ordinance requires that poul-
try shall be inspected immedi-
ately before slaughter by the
board of health inspector, that
tached showing the name of the butcher
and the date of slaughter. that after
slaughter each fowl shall be chilled and
kept at an even temperature of fifty
degrees fahrenheit, and that fowls taken
from cold storage shall not be put back
in storage without inspection.
The retailers and produce men say
the clause requiring inspection before
slaughter is what makes the ordinance
drastic. They say this would discour-
age the shipment of poultry to Atlanta,
because the board of health cannot send
inspectors to distant poultry farms to
make inspections and that only the big
packers could afford the expense of
special inspectors.

STAKE. Inc boy OINioI' oIF<i
was Simon Girty, son of an emigrant
who had turned Indian trader. The
lads father had been killed by
drunken Indian. His friend, John
Turner, had slain the Indian and mar
ried Girty's widow. The Indians tribes
men in turn murdered Turner and
made young Simon prisoner
For years the boy lived among the
savages, learning their language and
customs. until he became at heart
more an Indian than a white man. AS
he grew to early manhood he left the
tribe and sought a living among the
settlers. His knowledge of Indian
ways made him useful in many ways
to the British military commanders
along the frontier. He enlisted in
Lord Dunmore's forces as soldier
and interpreter, and soon became
known as one of the cleverest military
spies in the colonies.
Then the American Revolution be-

1t is not al dtely known whether he
did this because of some quarrel with
the Revolutionists or because he
thought he could make more money
and fame in the enemy's camp. At any
rate. the British received him gladly.
They were forever trying to get the
Indians against the Americans, and
they counted on Girty to use his infiu-
ence to this effect with his savage
friends.
The renegade performed the ab0m-
Unable task cleverly. Through the west
he went, everywhere stirring up the
Indians to attack the colonists. AT the
lead of band OF redskins he swoop-
ed upon ill-defeuded American forts
and desclated the farming districts.
When Col William Crawford. at the
head of little body of patriots, march
ed against Sandusky, and was cap
tured by the Indians, he begged Girty
to save him. Girty, according to most
accounts, refused and laughed aloud
while Crawford was tortured to death.
Girty always denied this, and said he
had tried in vain to persuade his In
dian followers to spare Crawford. (He
did succeed once in saving from tor
