daring souls to take the long leap?'
said one patron Of the horse meat mar

portable package shape this afternoon.
I've used horse meat for considerably
more than a year; learned how good II
was when I lived In Portland, where
they've been selling It for long time"
And why not. surely?' added another
patron standing by. THE only thing
that might probably contend against the
success Of the horse meat market Is the
fact that somebody else thought Of IL
first. Seattle was a pioneer in placing
dog fish on the table; q pioneer in
sharpening its knives for a bayoneting
Of whale steak Portland and some
other Pacific Northwest cities got the
equine equivalent of beef in their re-
frigerators before Seattle happened to
think OF II: and that may account for
any outcropping OF jealousy that will
cut down the consumption Of horse
meat cuts here"
Portland Gets SFirxt Horse.1

that New York city has thirty
horse meat markets going?
"And did you ever stop to q serious

greatest martyr today to the cause of

THE horse Is giving up his life on
the battlefields in countless thousands.
He is now coming to give up his life
so that there may be enough OF the
other meats to go around for our
selves and our allies. He Is coming

Inspected by city and Federal Of
fcers who look after the purity and
healthful character of meat slaugh-
tered for Seattle consumers, and sold
at prices that comparison shows are
less than one-half commanded by beef
or pork, the economic phase OF the

pantry.
