DON'T EAT UNLOCKED
PORK, SAYS EXPERT
DISEASE MAY BE CONTRACTED
BY EATING RAW FLESH
OF SWINE.

Washington, Dec. 20.-There is al
ways the possibility that illness may
follow the eating of pork that is
raw or rot thoroughly cooked. The
danger is greatest at this season of
the year when many people prepare for
home consumption various food prod
ucts that are customarily eaten with
out cooking. More of these homemade
products are prepared at hog-killing
time on the farm than at any other
time.
American people as rule prefer
cooked pork, but there are many who.
perhaps unknowingly, consume pork
in an uncooked condition, either in the
form of raw ham or uncooked saul
sages. In many localities consider.
able amounts of these products are
distributed throughout the neighbor-
hood. Large quantities of pork prod
prepared commercially.
Why Raw Pork Causes Illness.
The disease known as trichinosis,
which may result from eating raw
pork, is caused by certain round
worms, called trichinae. These are
microscopic in size and infest the
flesh of hogs. The prevalence of tri-
chinae in hogs is indicated by the fact
that during nine years, 1S9S-1906
when the carcases of hogs were in
spected microscopically by federal in
spectors, of 100000 carcasses so in
spected, 1.41 per cent contained living
trichinae and lie per cent contained
trichina-like bodies or disintegrating
trichinae. In other words and in
round numbers, trichinae were pres
ent in / out of II hogs, and if the pres
ence of dead trichinae and trichina
| like bodies is included, in / out of ev
cry SO hogs.
Unlike many other infectious dis
eases, the severity of an attack of tri
chinosis depends upon the number o.
parasites swallowed. Large quantitie:
of slightly infested pork must be eat
en- in order to produce appreciable ef
fects. If severe illness follows tn.
eating of small amount of the meat
the pork must have been heavily in
tested.
Sources Of infection.
i In about 1900 American cases Q
trichinosis, the most frequent source
Of infection reported were raw sau
