Oil-Soaked Carcasses.

Health Officer Keeney has made a new rule as to the treatment of earcasses of calves and other animals, which have been seized by the market inspectors as unfit for human consumption. The object of the regulation is to prevent any possibility of such carcasses being taken out of the hands of the city’s representatives, after the first seizure has been made, and disposed of for food purposes. To this end the market inspectors will hereafter saturate such carcasses with kerosene before allowing them to go out of their possession. They will then be turned over, as heretofore, to Alpers to be used for fertilizing purposes, and if any one contrives to steal them from Alpers before they can be so used ho will scarsely be able to profit by his enterprise.—[San Francisoo Chronicle.
