Is Produced By
Sudden Storms
BY United Press Leased Wire

LONDON. Aug. 22.-The sudden
change of bar0metric pressure ac-
companying a sudden storm changes
q persons pulse rate and OCCASION
ally drives him insane.
Captain J. r. Muir of the Royal
Naval Hospital at Haslar advanced
this startling theory in connection
with the death of patient at the
hospital who jumped to his death
from q window during a recent
storm.
"Impulses TO do odd thing are ac-
centuated or brought about by sud
den changes in atmosphere pres
sure" declared Capt. Muir in testi-
fving at the patients inquest.
"When these changes are very
marked and sudden the difficulty
is to keep people sane. A sudden
fall in the barometer products i'm
pulses to jump or otherwise act
rashlv.'
The patient who was in the hos
pital for treatment of an injured
toe. Capt. Muir said, he'd probably
been upset by the barometric
change caused by the storm and had
jumped from the window quite un-
consciously. The jury rendered a
verdict of suicide while temporarily
insane.

MEAT INSPECTION
CITED AS MEANS
FOR LONG LIFE

The present standard of civiliza.
tion and scientific advancement
have heightened materially the ave-
rage span of life. Perhaps no con-
trlbution to this gratifying situa.
tion has been of greater importance
than the standardization of essen
I tial food elements. Means have
been devised to prevent the CON
sumption of harmful products, and
the protection thus afforded the
public has increased health and i'm
proved the standard of sanitation
and quality of most of our food.
This is especially true of meat.
The long recognized need for a svs-
tenn of state meat inspection, like
many other projects. did not take
definite shape until q few years
ago. Today inspected meat is being
demanded in nearly all of our cities.
The first California meat inspec-
tion act was passed in 1915. This
act gave the state veterinarian au-
th0ritv To supervise the output of
amy slaughtering establishment upon
request of the owners. Today the
law has been revised so that it pro-
vides authority to the California de-
partment of agriculture to maintain
supervision over all slaughtering
establishments in California. except
those operating under federal inspec-
tion, or under existing city meat
inspection ordinances. The depart
ment can also maintain continu-
Gus supervision Of products of anv
slaughtering establishment provided
the owner pays the designated fee
and maintains the proper standard
of sanitation. The law further pro-
vides for the unrestricted sale OF
state inspected meats in any part of
the state of California.
The popularity of state meat in
spection is attested by its rapid
growth during the past year. On
July 81, 1925 there were ninety
plants under state supervision, with
siytv-six inspectors.
The report shows clearly the pro-
tection which is beinr offered the
public by the elimination from the
markets Of the state food prod''"ts
which are diseased or for other
causes IRE unfit for human consumn-
tion. Every city in the state should
havo meat insnection.
During July five SLAUGHTER
houses wore condemned. These
slaughter houses were too unsani-
tarv for usc pc euch and wer" 80
