Questions And Answers

E. C. R.: al have read that when
horses are killed to obtain glandular
extracts for medicinal purposes, the
rest of the meat of the animal is
used to make dog meats, and some
of the choice cuts used for meat
for humans. Horse meat, 1 hear, is
high in vitamins and perfectly fit
for human consumption. Is such a
thing possible?"
Answer: Horses are not used for
glandular extracts. Plenty Of glands
are obtained from the carcasses of
other animals at the packing houses.
In France horse meat is a common
food, and special butcher shops

board, who has SHE'D a couple of

Grover Whalen. Gibson has taken
over the bulk Of the Fair admin

still is president in name.
The Gibson regime is working
