TWO PACKERS ACCUSED.
Federal Complaint Charges Sale Of
Bad Meat 70 Arnny

BAD medC TO Army
Washington, May 27.-Sale of spoiled
meat and other food products to the
army, with the knowledge that the
food was unfit for human consump-
ton" is charged in complaints issued
yesterday by the federal trade COM
mission against Marris & Co. and Will
son & Co, two of the five great pack
Jig corporations.
1t is alleged that thousands OF
pounds of unfit meat and chickens
We're sold to Camp Travis, Tex. Most
Of it was detected and condemned, but
1t is said some of 1t may have been
passed and consumed.
Details of the information upon
which the action Is based were with
held by the commission. The an
nouncement and correspondence given
out wi tn 1t, however, show that the al
legged offenses occurred last Decem-
Der and are the same upon which in
dictments were obtained In Texas by
the department of justice after an in
vestigation Of reports by the food ad-
rlnistration. The indictments were
dropped because they were returned
under section Of the food law, which
carries no penalty.
Since then both the food administra-
ton and the trade commission have
continued their Investigations. If the
complaint now announced should be
sustained, the commission could do no
more than order the packers to cease
and desist" from the practices. Upon
repetition, offenders may be hailed into
q federal court.
A further report to the food admin
istraGon from E. A. Peden. federal ad-
ministrator for Texas, is expected this
week. Officials Of the administration
say they probably will find some penal
ty to fit the cases, even it only on the
ground Of food wastage.

The story Of the prodigal son Is
more than q parable. 1t is based on q
law set forth on Babylonian tablet
1000 years before the time of Christ.
A Yale professor has recently trans.
lated the Sumerian characters In
which the laws on the tablet-the
earliest known-are written. The
fourth law provides that q son who
desires to leave his fathers house and
to set forth on career Of his own
shall receive his portion of the estate,
and henceforth be legally separated
from his family.-Youth's Companion.
