has recently been conducted by tne

many from the dreaded disease

American public to defy the physician.

principle by the departments special
lists that the consumer is himself re-
sponsible for the proper preparation
Of fresh pork and pork products that
are usually cooked before eating, but
that the manufacturer is under obli-
cations to make sure that pork prod
ucts sold as cooked products are prop
erly cooked, or, If of a kind custom
arily eaten without cooking, to make
sure that the products are free from
live trichinae.
In the federal meat inspection regu-
lations it Is therefore provided that
products cooked in establishments I'M
der inspection must be cooked In &C.
cordance with methods approved by
the bureau of animal industry.
Most of the departments expert
mental work was carried out in CO.
operation with certain meat packing
establishments in Chicago. The in
vestigators selected the methods Of
preparing pork without cooking that
seemed likely to be efficacious in de-
stroying trichinae and at the same
time suited to practical requirements
of manufacture. Several new meth
DDS were devised.
The investigation shows that pork
products Of the kinds custOmartly
eaten without cooking may be rem,
dered safe for consumption, so far as
trichinosis Is concerned, but that IL
is necessary to follow special curing
process adapted to each. Salt Is an
essential in most of the processes.
Sausages Of moderate size have
been rendered harmless by mixing not
less than three and one-third pounds
Of salt with every hundredweight Of
meat, followed by preliminary curing
and then by drying. After the salt
has been introduced the sausages
must be dried at, least 20 days in q
temperature not lower than As degrees
Fahrenheit. A period Of FIVE days is
allowed for preliminary curing, which
may be curtaiIed, provided the time in
the drying room is correspondingly In
creased.
In the case Of pepproni, which are
sausages stuffed in long, narrow, thin
Ecasings, It was found feasible to re-
! duce the curing period to 20 days, Of
which at least IS days must be given
to drying.
Smoked sausages may be rendered
harmless by being subjected to pre-
liminary cure and then smoked at
temperatures ranging around 80 de-
grees Fahrenheit for 40 hours, fol-
lowed by drying for ten days. Sausage
smoked at a temperature of 125 de-
grees to 100 degrees Fahrenheit, for
relatively brief period. following q

| is rendered harmless without suisse
quent drying.
1 Hams are rendered free from
trichinae by two methods. One is to
cure them with dry salt-four pounds
or more to the MISUNDERSTANDING a
period of 40 days. and then smoke OF

The second method is to cure them on
the basis Of three days for every

20 days drying at temperature no,
lower than Al degrees.
