CHICAGO MEATS AGAI

Report of an Expert Committee on Conditions at the Packing Houses. THEY COULD BE MADE BETTER ut the Product as It Is Now Is Perfectly Wholesome. Names of the Men Who Made the Investigation and the Concluat Which They Have Arrived. Chicago, July 7.--The report of the joint committee of the Chicago Comassociation and Illinois Manufacturers' association, unpointed to inthe packing industries of Chicago, together with the report of the exports who accompanied them, has been made public. The commitsays: "That a board of experts of the character employed, with profesideals and guided and influenced by an 'aesthetic sense' which embodies 'something of necessity and something more of luxury' should find the prodwholesome, the yards generally clean and the inspection efficient seems to your committee to cover the situation. Clean Bill of Health Given. "As a result of this investigation we ourselves have no hesitancy in stating that the meat products at the yards are wholesome and proper food. We find that the companies have been imthe conditions and products from year to year, that improvements are constantly being made and will be made, and we believe that the conand surroundings at the plants carefully protect the quality of the product." Experts Who Did the Work. The experts who accompanied the committee were Dr. W. A. Evans, proof pathology of the University of Illinois; Dr. Maximilian Herzog, late pathologist, bureau of science, Manila, P. I.; Dr. M. P. Ravenel, pathologist to the Phipps Institute, Philadelphia; Professor A. T. Peters, V. S., Univerof Nebraska, and Professor M. H. Reynolds, V. S., University of Minnesoall eminent specialist. Their inoccupied two weeks. General Statement and Proof. They say that parts of most of the plants are up-to-date, yet in each of these there are some sections that are indifferent good and in most of them some things that they cannot approve of. The committee can cite no betevidence of the truth of this statethan the very extensive improvethat are now under way everyAS TO DISEASED CATTLE What Is Said on the Subject by Prof, Wm. H. Welch. The committee says that information on preservatives is vague as to their effect, and commends the subject for scientific investigation. The invesof the regulations of the UnitStates and city of Chicago for the inspection of meats, the committee says, was conducted by Drs. Hektoen, Herzog and Evans, representing the Chicago Medical society, who had the especial counsel of Drs. Ravenel, Peand Reynolds. These gentlemen wrote to a number of scientists, and the committee embodied in their rethe reply of Professor William H. Welch, of the Johns Hopkins univerBaltimore, who said: "In view of the absence of any posdanger to health arising from the use of the meat of cattle affected with only localized tuberculosis, or actinomycosis (lumpy-jaw) of slight or modextent, it would in my opinion be extravagant, and indeed absurd, to condemn the carcasses of such cattle, provided the animals are well nourand otherwise in good condiIt is, of course, understood that the diseased part and organs are comremoved and destroyed, and that proper precautious are taken to guard against the accidental contamof the meat with the tubercle bacilli during and after slaughtering." The committee says that in general in all except some minor matters the inspection of the dead animal up to the time the carcass and separated organs passed from the killing room was generally and reasonably efficient, but that the post-mortem work is the important work and should be extendthat no animals reaching the yards dead ever get into the slaughtering houses; that no improper use is made of unborn calves, and that "It is our opinion that the dressed meat of the yards is wholesome and a proper arfor human food." "The methods employed, in preservmeats are for the most part cleannothing seriously objectionable beobserved in any of the houses visThe pickling of meats has not presented any very objectionable featIt is suggested that the skewer used in inspecting hams be immersed in boiling water between tests, and that great care should be exercised in selecting healthy operatives, especially the tester." SOME ADVICE AS TO TRIPE Experts Think It and Other Similar Products Should Be Labeled. The committee further along says: "Your committee is of the opinion that the canning departments visited are, in general, in a clean condition, and that the handling of the materials is

done in a cleanly manner by properly dressed, healthy persons, and that the finished canned meats offered for sale constitute a wholesome and nutritous article of diet. The use of any spoiled meat unfit for food was nowhere nothough it must be conceded that some of the canned goods contained material which is of a low nutritive value, such as pigs' ears, pigs' snouts, tripe, etc. 'It is therefore recommended that the cans be correctly labeled as to their contents, so that the purchaser may be able to form a correct estimate as to their nutritive value. It is believed that the government inspection should be extended to a supervision of all the materials used for canned goods. As it is at present there is no disinterested supervision which guarantees the fact that nothing other than proper material is placed in the cans. "It is suggested that for the unsausage business the meat beinspected for trichinae be handled in especially sanitary rooms, and that specific rules be adopted and enforced for the hands of these operators. It is believed that the standard of sanitary surroundings and care should be highfor these uncoooked products than for those which are to be washed and cooked before being eaten." Regarding hygiene and sanitation the committee says some of the water closets are not of modern or proper construction, not well located, often deficient, and often ventilate into the work rooms The medical members of the committtee paid especial attention to the health of the operatives. They were not able to detect any evidence of disease. "It is certainly not true," the committee says, "that much spitgoes on, with consequent contamof the food products."

Case of Harry Thaw. New York, July 7.-The only matof interest developed in the StanWhite murder case is the anthat Mrs. Thaw, Harry Thaw's mother, has started for the United States from England, and the fact that John Burns, White's chaufhas issued a statement which says that Evelyn Nesbit used White's auto twice to Burns' knowledge--once before her marriage to Thaw and once afterward, and that in both cases she used it to go to her hotel, and that White did not accompany her.

Humor and Philosophy By DUNCAN M. SMITH

PERT PARAGRAPHS. The contingent that would rather b right than be in jail is considerably larger than the one that would rather be right than be president. If things have no bright side, use your biceps and polish up. A person of mathematical mind would rather get the average than go to heaven. Some people are so tender hearted that they cannot bear to see a chair get cold. No one talks very much about rights who has any. When a man goes about inviting to look up references and be assured of his honesty, the brand he carries isn't worth the advertising. No man really wants his children to do as he has done. You aren't apt to have unexpected company when you have a really good dinner. It is never called debt as long as your credit is good. The habit of paying compliments often leaves a man bankrupt of truth. If a man would carry his wife a bunch of roses once in awhile she wouldn't be nearly so apt to wonder if marriage is a failure. The Saucy Summer Girl. She's piquant and pretty, She's clever and witty, She's modest and simple and chaste; Tiptilted her nose is, As sweet as the rose is The girl In the peekaboo waist. Her costume, though stunning, Is what I call cunning And quite in the height of good taste, But still she is chilly And says I am silly To dote on the peekaboo waist. I swear I will leave her And hope thus to grieve her, But never a tear have traced. She says there are others Who aren't quite brothers, And peekabo won't go to waste. Its First Job. "When Adam and Eve moved out of the garden I wonder if they carried their belongings on a wheelbarrow." "Sure not. They used Adam's exThe Graduate. We are prone to poke a good deal of fun in one way or another at the new laid graduate, but he doesn't mind it, knowing In his superior way that it is all prompted by jealousy, and perpart of it is. For who can help but envy in his secret soul the young man who knows all of the latest slang of the day in addition to some of the useful branches and who can do things better in his mind than the fellows who have been doing them for fifty years? Of course he is billed for a number of jars, but other people who never went to school have them, and he soon finds his place, and before long he beto make those who wasted the precious hours of youth sit up and noas he flies past them. Of course we are speaking now of the man graduate. As to the co-ed, well, she does not need a guide book to find her way through life. In Luck. When frenzied noisa lets down the bars And cracker smoke wreaths curl, Then little Willie thanks his stars He was not born a girl. Takes Them Off. "Why do the good die young?" "It is a malady that very quickly proves fatal, and only the young are ever afflicted." Repentant. "She is trying to live down her past." "Poor thing. An unfortunate mar"No, she used to think that she could sing."

Not According to Specifications. "What kind of a dish is this, Mrs, Maybe?" "That is a new health food." "Impossible! One can eat it and enit."

To Supply a Demand.

"I wonder how all of the new words slip into the language." "Ever see a collar button playing hide and seek with a fat man?" Not For Him. Rich Young Man--Want a job? Poor Boy--What is it like? R. Y. M.--Go along with me and take all the advice that my friends want to give me. P. B.--Chase yourself! Extenuating Circumstances. First Girl--Aren't men the stupid things? Second Girl--Yes, but just think how much more clever we'd have to be if they were smart! A Fellow Feeling. Giddy Girl--Don't you just love a wedding? Moody Man--Can't say I do. I'm a married man myself. Keep Him Broke. It's not the clothes that make the man; For what he's worth you take him, But when it comes to women's clothes They are the things that break him. Whatever That Is. "Is he well educated ?" "Well, he seems to know how to elimhard work from the problem of making a living." Positive. "How do you know that he is a good lawyer?" "He confesses it himself." Defined. "Pa, what's an heiress?" "Any American girl who marries a foreigner." PERT PARAGRAPHS. A really clever woman is never susof it. Some closets are too small for moths to work in. A beautiful lie is one that looks like the plain truth. A man who makes a great hit with himself is an easy mark. Some men are wise enough to be foolish occasionally. The way to do some of your friends a particular favor is to make a bad mistake. A secret is something that the simhides and the heavy villain finds at the moment wrhen it can do the greatest execution. A hard luck story often makes a man's luck good. Every up to date marriage license ought to have a divorce coupon atThere are a lot of unattached men around because with the advent of the clubwoman aprons have gone out of vogue. Pay checks seem to be worn about the same size as last year. A Natural Inquiry. Mike--Well, Hooligan's shtopped worrying about his life insurance poli-Pat--Phat did he doi av?--Judge. Love's Game.
