MEAT INSPECTION
FOR Benefit OF
THE CONSUMERS
State Pure Food Depart
ment and the Federal
Government Are Working
in Perfect Harmony.

Federal meat inspection in Boise and
Idaho has been a success.
Pure Food Commissioner John Kirby
White, the man chiefly responsible for
securing the inspection, having worked
hard for it for the benefit of Idaho
consumers, declared last night the peo-
pie of Boise should take interest in the
federal inspection work and see for
themselves the benefits derived
1t was announced by Commissioner
White that his department Is now
working in such perfect harmony with
the federal government that he has no
doubt assistance will be given in the
near future in the testing of dairy cat
tie for tuberculosis. The necessity for
the work has been satisfactorily shown
and the department is now only wait
ing for the assignment of federal
official to superintend the work.
The time will come" said Commits
sioner White, when the general pub
lie will be as much interested in the
meat supply as they are in baseball,
politics or the Mexican trouble
For instance, just let them consider
these facts:
More than 5s,o0o,ooO meat animals
were slaughtered in establishments un-
der federal inspection during the fiscal
year ending June 50, 1915. Since ap-
proximately from 5S to 60 per cent of
the animals killed in the country are
slaughtered in establishments where
federal inspection is maintained, it APP
pears that about 10O.000,0O0 meat ami
mails are now being killed each year in
the United States.
"Of animals subjected to federal in
spection 299,958 were condemned as I'M
fit for human use, and 644,6SS were con-
demned in part Thus a little more
than 1a per cent of all the animals in
spected were condemned either in
whole or in part. These figures include
only cattle, calves, sheep, goats and
swine.
TUBERCULOSIS THE CAUSE.
Tuberculosis was the chief cause If
the condemnations. More than 1854
carcasses of cattle and $4,000 carcasses
of swine were entirely rejected on ac-
count of this disease, and in addition
parts of $4,000 cattle and 10000 swine
Hog cholera was responsible for the
next largest loss, nearly 10000 swine
being condemned entirely on this ac-
count.
THE attention of the people of this
state and particularly of this section is
called to the fact that federal inspec-
ton has been installed by the Boise
Butcher company and the Boise Valley
Packing company.
This part of the state has never
before had federal inspection of meats.
Federal inspection means that every
piece of meat put out by these firms
has been inspected before and after it
Is slaughtered. There is no possible
chance of a piece of diseased meat ever
reaching the consumer from these
places.
THE people of Boise should take ,n-
terest in this matter and / would 20
pleased to have them go to these plants
and see how their meat products are
handled and prepared.
Ordinarily when people think of d
slaughter house they recall the ordi-

filth, corruption, foul odors, flies and
dirty butchers. That is not true today
in our government inspected plants.
There are no flies. no filth, no corrup-
ton and no dirty savage butchers. The
place is so clean that the most refined
lady can visit every part of the plant
and be escorted by the butcher dressed
in clothes as clean as those worn by
the trained nurse in your doctors Of
fee.
Visit the meat market. Go in the
ice box. Look at the hands and finger
nails of the man who cuts and wraps
your meat. Examine the block on
which the meat is cut Look at the
floor and see If it is covered with
grease and scraps of meat. Look at
the walls, ceilings and light globes for
cob webs, fly specks. etc. Compare this
with other places and the man who
peddles meat at your back door and
use your own judgment as to who you
want to get meat from for your fam
ily."

RopY BREAD.

Answer 10 c. T. n: This imper-
feet kind OF bread results from the
growth of the spores OF microscopic
organism that Is found especially in
potatoes. The heat of the oven does
not destroy these spores in the in
terror OF loaf. so that in moist warm
weather. the spores develop and cause
the crumb to become moist and sticky
and to hate a disagreeable taste and
odor. Molds OF various colors grow
in bread as It increases in age: such
kinds of bread are of course not to
be eaten. One of these mclds, how
ever the blnish-green mold, is active
in the ripening OF certain cheeses such
as the English Stilton and the italian
Gorgonzola. and such cheeses can be
eaten with impunity.

FUNDS OF STATE
DEpARTMFNTSARE
NOW AT Low EBB
Appropriations Are About
Exhausted and Some Off
Gals May Have to Go
Without Their Salaries.

Appropriations are running low at
the house with the rapid approach of
the close of the biennium and all de-
partments are playing a tight business
game to keep within the limit of the
last legislative allowance for the two
years. Some of them are going to have
hard work making it, judging from
an inspection of the records of the state
auditor today. A few will have a
surplus to turn back into the general
fund. So far as could be ascertained
there is no fund completely exhausted,
or there was none when the balances
were taken from the records on Oct.
/. Since that time these balances have
been reduced. Careful economy will
have to be practiced for the legislature
has repeatedly frowned down on def
ciencies. That body has threatened
to hold up deficiency bills before. In
fact during the last session the senate
voted down the deficiency bill, but later
reconsidered and passed it.
Balances in the funds Of. legislative
appropriations for elective officials as
shown by the auditors statement Oct.
l follow:
IONti nor HEHI0.fU
treasurer -. almanac. 4o30.12
AUDITOR -....t ............ 6321.9o
Attorney general -. -. 6SS7.52
Secretary of state. ..... $4,000
For some OF the appointive officials
selected at random the following bal
ances are taken from the same report:
Ad1utant general ........ S2S32.57
Assistant adjutant general 299.60
Bank examiner ......... 529S.67
The state board Of education has a
balance of $67SS.73 and the public utili-
ties commission a balance of $S9SS. The
last Legislature cut the salaries of
members of the public utilities from
$4,000 per annum to $1,000 but the cut
did not go into effect until the May
following, no emergency clause having
been carried in the act. When the
commissions appropriation was COM
piled and passed, it was figured on a
salary basis OF $4,000 per annum for
each year. so that the commission ran
shorter of funds than 1t expected
There will hardly be enough money
left in the appropriation for the salar-
les of the commissioners for the last
month of the year but when the sit
uation Is explained to the new legisla-
ture it is believed that the oversight
will be corrected and sufficient added
to the new appropriation to take care
of the salaries.

TROOPS RETURN
General Funston Replies to
Inquiry from Governor
Alexander, but Gives no
Information.

Direct word from Major General
Funston in command of all troops,
regulars and national guard, on the
Mexican board, has been received by
Governor Alexander relative to the
possible return soon to Idaho of the
Idaho state troops. Major General
Funston throws no more light on the
subject than have other officials con-
nected with the war department, al
though he does go so far as to state
that should the department order any
considerable number of troops to re-
turn home the Idaho regiment will be
included.
Some time ago Governor Alexander
wired the war department urging that
the Idaho regiment be returned from
the border. The department replied
that the matter of ordering troops to
their stations was directly in charge
of General Funston who reserved the
right to hold or return any troops on
the border. The governor forthwith
wired to General Fur ston for the in
formation.
REPLY FROM FUNSTON.

 Duane could not get the meaning of her incoherent reply. He rode on. and soon he could not see the trail or hear his horse. He did not know whether they travelled mile or many times that far. But he was conscious when the horse stopped. and had vague sense of falling and feeling Jennie's arms before all became dark to him.
 When consciousness returned he found himself lying in little hut of mesquite branches It was we'll built and evidently some years old. Duane felt weak and had no desire to move Where was he, anyway? A strange intangible sense of time, distance, of something far behind weighed upon him. He thought he heard a step and listened, but he felt tired, and present. " his eyes closed and he fell into a t,oze.
 Awakening from this, he saw Jennie sitting beside him. In some way she seemed to have changed. When he spoke she gave a start and turned eagerly to him.

 Tomorrow she would be gone among good. kind people with a possibility of finding her relatives. He thanked God for that; nevertheless, he felt a pang.
