Making Meat by Dipping Ticks.

In the campaigns to help the na-
tion's meat and milk supply" a million
and a quarter head Of cattle In 275
counties of the Southern states are
making fortnightly pilgrimages TO the
dipping watts. There are $4,000 of
these watts in active operation
enough, if the Huns were attempting
an invasion of America by way of the
gulf, to make a solid concrete bar
rier from New Orleans to Pensacola.
Operating the watts are 1865 federal,
state and county employees-enough
to place a guard every 800 feet along
that barrier; enough, If armed with
machine guns, to hold it against any

RULES Made FOR
PACKING HOUSES
Summary of What War Has Done
for Benefit of Consumers of
Animal Products.
DOWNFALL OF STACKER CAN
Government Has Refused to Tolerate
Use Of Tin for Canning Air-Poi-
sonous Disinfectants Are
Also Forbidden.

While the various governmental
agencies have always taken more than
ordinary precautions to safeguard con-
sumers against any evils that might
result from canned meats, contingen-
cies arising out of the present state
OF war have resulted In even more
perfect protection for soldiers and
civilian alike.
An old evil in the canning industry
was what has recently been called the
"slacSer can" 1t was not able To
survive the state of war. The partly
filed can, like other slackers, had To
go. The mere bringing OF cans up TO
the low net-content weight printed on
their labels is no longer all that is re-
CURED. The can must be filed. The
war brought shortage Of tin and the
government refused to tolerate the
use of tin for canning air.
Poisonous Disinfectants Forbidden.
Extraordinary precautions are being
taken also in other particulars. A re-
cent regulatory announcement from
the bureau of animal industry, United
States department of agriculture, for
bids the keeping of such odorless pol
sons as bichloxisie of mercury i'm pack
ing houses and directs that hot water
containing approximately / per cent
of salsoda (sodium carbonate) shall
be used for disinfecting all instru-
ments.
The bureau has supplied all sta
lions with special thermometers for
making temperature tests of meats,
and inspectors are instructed to close
ly supervise the handling of all meats
and products of kind prepared Gus
tomarily to be eaten without cooking
and which contain any muscle tissue.
The inspectors are instructed also to
see that all meats which are not rem
dered into lard or tallow and which
are utilized for food purposes shall be
sterilized by heating so that all por-
tons Of the meat are brought to "a
temperature of 10 degrees Fahren-
heit and maintained at this tempera-
ture for not less than 30 minutes.
Different Cooking Methods.
The bureau Of animal industry does
not specify the csnlzing necessary TO
insure that all parts of the meat are
heated to the minimum temperature.
That was regarded as impracticable
on account of the fact that different
methods of cooking are used In differ
ent packing establishments for war;
Gus weights of products. The inspec-
tors are instructed to apply good judg-
ment to each individual case. to make
the necessary test, to determine the
facts and to be guided accordingly.

naval increase to which the country
committed itself by the adoption three
years ago Of the first far reaching
constructive naval programme in the
history Of the republic.
Il have recommended to this Con-
sress the adoption Of another three
year programme substantially like the
one authorized in 1915. But the VIC
tory OF the Allies and the United
states should, and will. I sincerely
trust, within a few years make Il no
longer necessary for any nation under
whip and spur to burden its taxpayers
to undertake to build, In competitive
construction, bigger fighting ships and
more Of them than any other nation
can construct"
Mr.. Daniels shows that the new
$500, 100000 three year building pro-
Rramme he has proposed will provide
1855 additional naval ships, ten Of them
dreadnoughts and six battle cruisers,
and the others to be in such distribu-
ton Of approved types as the depart
ment may deem best.
Ready From Stem to Stern.
Taking up his story Of the navy and
the war. the Secretary declares ME
service was sready from stem to
stern" when the United States entered
the conflict. From the day when the
first three year programme was
adopted in 1915, he added, Congress
has given everything that could be de-
sired to insure the effectiveness Of the
naval arm"
Team work had been the navy's slo-
gan for five years, and II continued to
be the war motto. both at home and
abroad. The striking success of the
navy Is ascribed to this fact by Mr..
Daniels, who continues:
Apparently there have been times
when a Secretary of the Navy seemed
to find friction and lack Of cooperation
among the officers around him. II
that spirit ever existed in the United
States Navy. I can state with confidence
and pride that there is now no 'vestige
Of 1t. and firmly believe. from my ex-
perience, not only during the last year,
but during the five years preceding, II
will never return"
The report shows that Vice-Admiral
Sims. who was on his way to London
as head of the American naval estab-
lishment in the war zones even before
war was declared. is soon to be named
full Admiral by the President in rec
ognition Of his services, the high char
acter of which the Secretary says 1t is
yet too early to give proper place.
The sending OF Admiral Sims was
the first step in a programme of which
the Secretary says:
1.-THE outstanding accomplishment
Of the navy abroad in this war, out
side Of rigorous and valorous service
in the danger zone, has been the char
aeter and degree Of cooperation and
practical consolidation for the time be-
ing of our service with those services
with which we have been associated.
The navy, beginning with the arrival
Of the first ship abroad, has stood out
for unity OF command. even though
this in some instances involved sacri-
ficing temporarily something Of our
identity as an independent service.
This has not been an easy task. 1t is
to be a safe statement that
the degree OF accomplishment Of our
service in this respect Is without prec-
edent in allied warfare"

IN October there were 83s United
