MAKING MEAT SAFE
Sixty Per Cent Killed Under Fed
eraI Inspection.
Hundred Million Meat Animals slaugh-
tered Each Year in United States
tuberculosis is Chief Cause
of Condemnation.

Washington.--Mor than 58,000,0 ,0Oo
meat animals were slaughtered in es-
adjustments under federal inspection
during the fiscal year ending June 30,
1915. Since approximately from 5S to
60 per cent of the animals killed in
the country are slaughtered in estab-
lishments where federal inspection is
maintained, it appears that about 100,
100000 meat animals are now being
killed each year in the United States
OF the animals subjected to federal
inspection, 299,95S we're condemned as
unfit for human use, and 644,6SS were
condemned in part, Thus little more
than IL pei cent of all the animals
inspected were condemned either in
whole or in part. These figures in.
clude only cattle, calves, sheep, goats
and swine.
Tuberculosis was the chief cause OF
the condemnations. More than 1854
carcasses Of cattle and $4,000 car
casses of swine were entirely rejected
on account Of this disease, and in ad'
dition, parts of $4,000 cattle and 10000
swine. Hog cholera was responsible
for the next largest loss, nearly 1922
600 swine being condemned entirely on
this account.
The annual appropriation for the fed
eral meat inspection service is now
about $3,375,000 so that the cost to the
people would be between and 6 cents
per animal and carcasses. In addition
however great quantities of the meat
and products are re-inspected. In this
item there was a very considerable in
crease during the Iast fiscal year, the
re-inspection resulting in the condem
nation of a total of nearly 19,000,000
pounds of products of one kind OF
another. Furthermore 245,000,00t
pounds Of imported meat or meat prod
ucts were. inspected, and more than
100000 pounds condemned or refused
entry.
IN the course of it's work, the bu
reau Of animal industry, which is il
charge of the meat inspection service
has discovered new method Of de
stroying trichinae in pork, which is
an additional safeguard to human
health Refrigeration at a tempera
ture Of degrees, f., or lower, for
period Of 20 days, will destroy these
parasites which occasionally give rise
in human beings to the serious dis
ease known as trichinosis Hitherto
the only known safeguard against this
disease has been thorough cooking Of
all pork and pork products, and those
persons who neglect this precaution
have always been more or less exposed
20 the danger. Unless pork is known
to have been subjected to refrigeration
as above Indicated, it should be thor
oughly cooked. The microscopic ex
animation of pork for the detection OF
trichinae has been abandoned as the
usual methods have proved inefficient
Inthls connection it is interesting to
note that more swine we're slaughtered
in the past year III establishments un
der federal inspection than ever be
fore. A total OF 9e,247,s59 were in
spected at the time of slaughter and
approximately S5,900,00O passed fol
food.

FLOODS OF MUD IN ALASKA
Much Damage Done In Indian Village,
According to Letter Received
From City Of Juneau.

A river Of mud 100 feet wide and
nearly ten feet high ran into the In,
dian village of Klukwan the other day,
carried off ten licks of wood which the
natives had gathered, broke into the
acnvolhouse, covered the floor with a
two-foot layer of mud and stones, de-
stroyed gardens and did much other
damage. says a Juneau fAlaska) let
ter. There is an Indian tradition that
many years ago a similar stream
came down out of the mountains and
destroyed an entire village.
The village Of Klukwan is 23 miles
inland from Haines, on the Chilkat
river. Two and one-half miles back
from the village in the tops of the
mountains is great bowl or hanging
valley, which some monster glacier Of
prehistoric times left as a monument.
This bowl is drained by small stream,
which often becomes choked with
rocks.
The heavy rains of the three days
preceding the 18th gradually filled the
gorge of the small stream with a mass
Of water, mud and rocks. Between two
and three o'clock on the afternoon of
August 13 the natives in the village
heard a deep rumbling and grinding
back in the hills, according to the story
brought here from Klukwan by w. G.
Beattie, superintendent of native
schools. A moment later the natives
saw a river of mud coming down the
mountainside, headed directly for their
homes.
The river covered two and a half
miles at the rate of eight miles an
hour, carrying rocks ranging from
pebbles to powders. The stream con,
tinued to run for about Fifteen min
utes and spread for width Of over 100
feet.
AS soon as the water drained off tho
mud became so hard that picks were
necessary to break up the layer

MORE JOBS THAN CHEMISTS
Scarcity of Engineers Shown at Co

break of War.

New York.-Since the outbreak OF
the war and the resulting increase in
chemical projects in this country the
demand for chemical engineers has
grown SO rapidly that the companies
are finding it difficult to fill the MANY
places that are now open.
Indication of this was given at Co.
lumbia university when Dean Fred
erick A. Goetze of the graduate en-
gineering school reported that he had
received a call from a mining com
pany for several chemical engineers
familiar with the iron and steel in
dustry, but that he has been unable

DESPERATE
and CRAzED
BY DRINK

Shortly before noon today Chief
Phillips Of the Chickasha police force
arrested and locked up a man who
states his name is E. n. Bright and
who says his home is at Anadarko
According to Bright's own story as
told to Chief Phillips and Desk Ser
geant Looney, he has been drunk ever
since Saturday of last week. Whether
he has been in Chickasha all that time
OF not he does not state. The officers
think it more than possible that he
acquired his jag in Anadarko and then
brought himself to Chickasha. During
The morning hours Bright has made
three attempts to commit suicide.
Shortly before the arrest a man who
did not give his name, phoned Chief
Phillips that Bright had attempted 10
swallow a 2-ounce bottle of carbolic
acid and that he-the person tele-
phoning-had taken the bottle away
from him.
Upon receiving the phone message
Chief Phillips notified all patrolmen
to keep a look out for Bright and
started out searching for the man him
self The chief found Bright in local
drug store, where he was trying to
purchase a second bottle of carbolic
acid. Chief Phillips Immediately
placed Bright under arrest and taking
him to the Central station locked him
up, telling Desk Sergeant Looney to
keep a close watch over him to pre-
vent him doing himself any bodily
harm.
Shortly after Bright had been
locked up Sergeant Looney, hearing a
commotion in the cage investigated |
and found Bright had removed his belt /
and was attempting to hang himself |
with it to the bars of his cage. Ser !
geant Looney took possession of the
belt and phoned DR.. Dawson, the city |
physician, who instructed that the
man be given slight narcotic.
Bright, according to the statement
Of the sergeant, has well developed |
case of old fashioned "willies" He is |
seeing things and lots of them. Blue |
monkeys and hundreds Of mice; some
more blue monkeys aud a few more
hundred mice; regiment Of green
monkeys and couple Of battalions OF
long-tailed rats, besides numerous
other things in the animal and reptile
lines.
Chief Phillips viii possibly com
with Anadarko during the
course of the afternoon in an effort
to locate Bright's friends or family.

SITE OF GARDEN OF EDEN
Recently Discovered Tablets Give tho
Legendary Spot as Island of
Bahrein.

The history of Bahrein, in the Per,
sian gulf, is long and interesting. An,
cient tombs found in the interior tell
us that the Phoenicians once settled
there. The kings of Assyria frequent
ly fought there. The Babyloniana
called the island Dilmun.
Again the island is the center of in
terest, for there has recently been dis.
covered in Babylonia large clay tab,
let recording the story of Paradise,
the deiuge and the fall of man, and the
story tells us, says the Christian Her
aid, that the island of Bahrein, the
ancient Dilmun, was the paradise, the
Garden of Eden, where man first
lived.
The newly deciphered tablet record.
ing this story was among the many i1l-
scribed objects found by the expedi-
tion sent to Babylonia from the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania. Prof. Stephen
Langdon, a young American scholar,
who is professor of Assyriology in
Jesus college, Oxford, England, chair
endowed by an American family, was
visiting the museum in Philadelphia in
the autumn of 1912.
At that time he copied number of
the tablets, one of which was trian-
gular fragment. He took the clay tab
let to Oxford, where it was shown to
the eminent English scholar, Profess
sor Sayce, and it was discovered that
it recorded a part of an early Sumer-
ian story Of the flood and of the fall
of man.

TO BUILD
CHEESE FACTORY
Machinery Ordered for Satsop
Plant and Will Make
Cheese Next Month

SATSOP, Feb. 11.-Building Of the
projected Satsop cheese factory is
now under way. Work has been start
ed on the erection of the plant. Ma
chinery has been ordered and 1t is
expected that actual cheese making
will begin between March Is and
April /. The plant will cost about
$4,000 and will be operated by steam
and electricity. The daily output will
be at the start about 1000 pounds
which will be doubled in case suf1i-
cient milk is supplied. Three or four
men will be given employment the
year around.
G.. Karlin, who has long been en-
gagged in handling both domestic and
foreign cheese, has been engaged to
take charge of the plant as soon as
it is completed. w. E. Johnson will
act as secretary of the company.
The product of the plant will be
handled through jobbers exclusively
and the West Coast Produce Company
of Aberdeen, has been engaged to
handle the Harbor output.
The plant will be up to date in all
respects, clean, wholesome and sani-
tary, and will put out a full cream
cheese of the first class.
The supply of milk throughout this
section has become so much above
the home demand that some method
OF disposing of the product became
necessary and the cheese factory was
deemed better than the creamery.
