Hogs. cattle, and sheep are killed
throughout the year. A city ordi-
nance compels every butcher or 9TH
er individual who sells meat in
Paris to have his slaughtering done
at the municipal abattoir, which is
operated at cost. All the meats are
inspected by the city veterinarian.
who stamps each carcass. The
plant pays it's own expenses and
has been making enough in add
tion to cover cost of depreciation.
The abattoir cost between $4,000
and $4,000. About ten years ago.
when the abattoir was built, the
department has a record of original
cost Of $4,000 and thei daily ca
pacity then was 80 cattle, 80 hogs,
and 80 sheep and calves.
Meat in this Texan has been sell
ing from 10 to IL cents a pound
cheaper than in some ncighboring
localities. Competition is assured
because IL is easy for the hotels,
restaurants. and others using much
meat to buy live stock and have 1t
killed and stored in this municipal
abattoir until they are ready to con-
sumo it This results in prices being
kept at relatively low levels.

w yHETHER IL is because OF
M the increased cost OF meat
" or because peoples tastes
have changed. the fact remains
that Americans are eating per
cent less meat than they were 70
years ago. This is disclosed IN
recent dietary survey made by the
Department OF Agriculture.
In this survey 1000 dietary rec
ords. each covering a period OF Z
days, were collected from 1,f2o fam
lilies aud S75 institutions In 40
States, Sixteen uationalities and
many occupations and incomes were
ufSsSi'as1 %rSsn and1 1rorsi locaiities' SH s'' w
From a summary OF 500 OF these
forniiy records 1t appears that last
year the average cost Of food per
man per day was 46 centA with
an average return in food value OF
1925 calories. 90 grams protein. lls
CRANE fat, and 405 grams carbohy-
drats These figures are in fairly
close accord with the dietary
standards ordinarily used in dis
cussing such problems of general
nutrition.
A comparison OF the foodstuffs
purchased by the 500 families with
the amounts OF the same food pur-
chased by 400 families about 20
years ago shows that the amount
OF meat In the American diet has
decreased about s per cent, and the
amount OF grain products about IL
per cent People are drinking more
milk and eating moro butter,
and cheese than they were
two decades ago, for the
amount OF dairy products consumed
has increased about 6 per cent.
Four per cent moro vegetables and
) per cent more fruit is being
eaten now.
Some individual food habits un-
doubthedly need 10 be corrected.
but, judging by these studies, 1t
seems fair to conclude that tho
average diet seems to be adequate.

Municipal Abattoir Keeps
Prices Of Meat Low.

Let's all move to Texas. Here's
the reason:
The city of Paris. Tex, operates
q municipal abattoir which serves
the entire locality at cost. Hogs
are killed in this establishment at
all times of the year. and at a cost
to the owners Of $1.50 a head, which
covers killing, dressing, and cool
ing the meat. The meat is chilled
for twenty-four hours in one room,
put in the cooler the next day, and
kept at 81 degrees, and will keep in
good condition for a long period.
The first four days 1t is kept in
this cooler without additional cost
to the owner, and after that II is
kept at q charge Of 10 cents q day
FOR each carcass.
Hogs are killed and salted down
at $3.50 a head, no extra charge be-
ing made for tho salt, and they are
kept in cold storage rooms after be-
ing salted down for four days with
out additional cost, and at cents
n day thereafter. This curing
room is separate from the regu-
lar cooler where fresh meats
arc kept, and is not kept
quite SO cold, but no meat
has been known to be lost in it..
calves up to $50 pounds arc killed
for $3.50 head and the hide is left
on them. though they are dressed
and the hide is thoroughly washed.
When cattle are skinned there is
an additional charge of 81. the hide
remaining the property of the owner
OF the carcass. Sheep are killed at
