HORSE MEAT FOR
NEW Works. POOR

New York, Dec. 31.-The sale OF
horse flesh for food will be permitted
after tomorrow in this state. AL.
though the state board of health does
not recommend 1t. no harm can be
seen in its use. it is announced. 1t is
pointed out that the horse never has
tuberculosis and rarely communicates
a disease to human beings. The old
plugs of the state will be fattened up
for food, and the only precautions the
officials will make consist of efforts
to prevent the sale of the horse meat
in the guise of veal or beef. II is
said that the horseflesh will be sold
at reasonable figures, and will be
snapped up in the shops patronized
by foreigners.
