Humanity and Sanitation
On Slaughter House Floor

IOW many who want to eat meat
-AA would like TO have the packers
1ob7 Mr., Ogden Armour frankly
said that he was not so keen about
the slaughterhouse floor himself, but
that if the people wanted meat some
one had to kill it for them. We are
very apt not to follow through on
the results Of our own acts and de-
sires. We delegate the unpleasant
features Of the job and then blame
the other fellow.
After two days spent on the
slsughterhouse floor at Armour's

conditions is many miles ahead Of its

Moreover, the concentration of
psckinghouse operations in the cen-
tor OF greatest production, separated
az it is from the centers of greatest
consumption, means much economy
In handling and distribution. Eighty
per cent of beef cattle is raised
west Of the Mississippi and 70 per
cent Of the beef products is eaten
east Of it. 1t never could get trans

due to meat. is suffering an eclipse,
partial if not complete. Again al
cohol and oyereating IN general are
secondary causes. while these dis
eases themselves, in so far as the
cause is known at all, are deemed
due to infection principally. The
only real argument against meat in
such cases would be that its appe-
tizing qualities naturally include it
in the menu Of the gourmand, but
moderation makes it safe.
". II. Jordan. Of the New York
Agricultural Experiment Station,
sums the matter up when he says:
'No proof is yet forthcoming that
a reasonable mixed diet Of flesh and
vegetables is any more dangerous to
health through the kind or extent of
bacterial development than is
purely vegetable diet. Doubtless
heavy meat eating, especially when
.xcretion is imperfect, may result in
toxic disturbances through putrefac-
tive disturbances in the intestines,
but, while auto-intoxication may be
prompted under abnormal condition.
by an abundance of meat proteins in
the intestinal tract, there is no evi-
dence that reasonable meat eating
is more dangerous In this particular
than a vegetable diet"
This sounds to us like the voice Of
calm reason~~qiot propaganda for
this or that.

II you know the young man, simply
encourage him when he speaks 10 you,
and get into conversation with him
about some subject that YOU are both
interested in. After a few casual talks.
you could invite him 10 come see you
just as you would ask any other friend.
These problems may seem strange to
you because they have never entered
