HORSE MEAT FOOD IN NEW YORK CITY Board of Health Removes Pro-
 hibitiOn Against Sale.
 RELATIVE VALUE IS SHOWN

| Ban Not Based on Sound and Scien- tific lines," Says Comm ion-De- l cares Horseflesh Brings Higher Prices Than Beef In Brussels-Doctors Ap- l prove.
 The sale of horse meat as commod- 1 fly will be legal in Greater New York after Jan. 1. As necessary of life l the horse will be placed upon the same footing with cows, sheep and poultry. This sweeping action was taken by the board of health. The city thus be- comes the first in the country, so far as known, in which the legal restric- uon against horsefesh has been re moved.
 Prohibition of the sale of horse meat or the slaughter of horses for food is not based on sound or scien. titic grounds" declared Health Com missioner Haven Emerson. Laws of this nature have outlived their use fitness, We are living in a different age. Conditions have to be judged ac. cordingly."
 Dr. Emerson expressed the unani- nous sentiment of the board of health. He declared that in nearly every coun- try in Europe the sale of horseflesh for food purposes has been encouraged.
 Relative Value Shown.
 The relative value of horse meat abroad is shown by the experience of our veterinarian, Dr. Alderman, who found ill Brussels that horseflesh was bringing higher prices than Argentine beef" he said.
 The board of health will limit the sale of horse meat to certified prem ises.
 If there is any demand for horse meat certain slaughter houses will specialize in it the same as is now done with cattle and sheep" said Dr. Emerson
 Will your action have any effect up on general reduction in the present prices of meat?" he was asked.
 This is a remote possibility" he answered. However, people who are unable to pay present prices will be furnished with an inexpensive and thoroughly clean meat
 In adopting this resolution the board of health wished to open the way for an inexpensive and healthy food supply that could be obtained over here as well as in Europe In stead of being sold for their bones, which bring little or nothing, old horses will hereafter be fattened and disposed of for meat.
 While the health department does not exactly recommend the eating of horse meat, We can see no harm in its use The horse never has tuberculosis. It practically never communicates a malignant disease to human beings. Consequently the strict regulation of horse meat would not be necessary, as in the case of cows. sheep, poultry and other animals.
 There is no medical or sanitary reason to prevent equine flesh from be- ing edible. With our present method of control it will prove one of the saf- est meats obtainable. We will take special care to prevent it's being sold as veal or beef. If horse slaughter houses are established they will receive the same careful inspection as others
 Horse meat should be very desir able as a food" said Dr. D. l.. Ayres There has been no reason offered toI prevent it's being placed on Sale. II for one believe the action of the board of health will solve a great problem which for many years has confronted the poorer classes"

 Their Costly Furs-Huge Audience
 Moved to Tears by Touching Plea ot
 Speaker.
 One of the most intensely dramatic scenes ever enacted in New York oc curred at meeting of the American Jewish relief committee at Carnegie hall
 Within the short space of half an hour the sum of about S1.UO00O0 was collected to alleviate the suffering of war stricken Jews. Hysterical women and weeping men, after contributing their last cent. threw their jewelry on the stage.
 Four anonymous donations of S10O,- 900 each were announced from among the audience. Two others of SoOOOO were announced and scores of lesser donations poured in.
 Four huge piles of envelopes filled with checks and bills occupied the front of the stage There were two large wicker baskets filled to the top with rings. watches. fobs and other jewelry
 Four Give $1oo,ooo Each.
 The Guggenheim family. Jacob II. Schft Nathan Straus and Julius Ros enwald. it was rumored among the au ,l, fn olO each. The donors were announced simply as anonymous from the stage. The remarkable contribution came after an appeal made by Dr. J. L. Magnes. He is connected with the treasurer's office of the relief commit tee. He spoke for half an hour. There were 3.J00 persons in the hall An other 3.000 clamored for admission on the outside.
 Pictures Sufferngs of Jews.
 Dr. Magnes drew vivid picture of the suffering among the Jews in the war thcaters of Europe. With remark able feeling and sympathy he trans ported the audience to another land until every person actually visuallZed the terrible specter which follows in the wake of the war god.
 Women began to sob Men stood up and cried out in anguish For h time the noise of weeping was so loud that the voice of the speaker was drowned And then, in eloquent words, Dr. MagneS told. of the wonderful charity which similar appeals had brought forth in other cities There was u
