WHO PAYS FOR
BRUISES?

Cuts and bruises are expensive -
an estimated so million dollars is
lost to the livestock industry each
year because of them. Owners of
livestock pay the bill in the low
cred prices they must accept for
animals.
This tremendous annual loss in
money is the price Nature charges
for cruelty to her living creatures.
For unless they are properly fed
and cared for. cattle. sheep or hogs
fail to reach the weight and quality
of which they are capable. Over
crowding of animals in transit as
they're moved about the farm or
taken to market - prodding or
whipping to a point where bruises
result - all this mistreatment re-
suits in a lowered market value for
the livestock.
Owners of livestock who are
responsible for cuts and bruises
may think someone else takes the
loss = but they are largely mis-
taken. Packers have to reflect these
losses in the prices they offer for
livestock.
Remember, just as surely as she
metes out punishment for cruelty
to animals, Nature rewards those
who treat them properly. Livestock
that is raised and handled with
care is certain to bring the maxi
mum price the market can offer.

|By Dr.. Seckinger

Health Officer George C. Ruhland
today sent his co-ordinator of health
and hospitals to Gallinger Hospital
to find out about complaints from
the hospitals tuberculosis chief that
the health of his patients was ham,
pered by poor meals.
At the same time, DR.. Rutland
made public sample menus to DEM
| onstrate that the meals are well
balanced and varied.
He said DR.. Daniel L. Seckinger,
hospital co-ordinator, would investi-
gate the charges made by DR.. Sol
Katz, tuberculosis chief, that menus
are skinny and food is unattractive-
ly prepared.
DR.. Ruhland said the patients get
second helpings and eggnogs when
ever they want them. He added
that the nurses are instructed to
watch the trays as they are carried
to the patients to see that the food
looks appetizing. Nurses, he said,
also are told to look at the trays
when the patients have finished eat
ing to see if they have left food,
and, If so, to find out why.
The menu for next Monday made
public by DR.. Runland provids for
| a breakfast Of oranges, buttered
toast, eggs, cereal and coffee; a
lunch of roast beef, gravy, mashed
potatoes, creamed parsnipS and
blackberry cobbler and supper of
sausage cakes, hashed brown pota-
toes, hot slaw, rolls and pineapple.
DR.. Katz contended that tuber-
culosis patients require diet far
better than the average patient.
DR.. Rutland said DR.. Katz had
not complained 10 him about the
food nor had any complaint reached
him from Gallinger Supt. Alvin r.
Sweeney.
