a result of a car colliding with train

MEAT INSPECTION EXPLAINED
Full Significance of Purple Stamp on
Carcasses Defined in Official Circular

The full significance Of the little
purple stamp and other labels used
for marking carcasses and products
that have passed Federal inspection is
not appreciated by all consumers of
meats. In order that people generally
may better understand its meaning
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture has just issued Miscellaneous
Circular No. 63-M, entitled 'The In
spection Stamp as Guide to Whole
some Meat"
The Federal Government has no SUI
pervision over establishments which
confne their business to the State
where the animals are killed, such
concerns being under State control.
Cities can also supervise meats sold
within their limits, just as they in
spect local milk supplies. A large
proportion of meat establishments do
an interstate business, and about two
thirds Of all animals slaughters in
the United States are Federally in
|spected.
The present export trade in Ameri-
can meats, according to the circular,
is possible largely because the Federal
inspection system enjoys the conf
dence Of foreign Governments.
Federal inspection Of animals is
made before and after slaughter. If
the inspector sees an animal that
looks sick or abnormal in any other
way, he tags it with metal label fas-
tened to the ear, the tag reading
either 'United States Condemned" or
UNITED States Suspect" depending
on how serious the ailment is. If con-

railway employees should be allowed

ut seems rather ridiculous that
the men should be paid such low
wages. However, the situation is
rendered more complex by the fact
that the street railway is not able
to earn money enough TO pay divi-
dends. Changes in rates might be
necessary to effect a final and def.
