Hundred Million Meat Animals Slaugh- tered Each Year in United States —Tuberculosis Is Chief Cause of Condemnaticn. Washington.—More than 58,000,000 meat animals were slaughtered in es- tablishments under federal inspection during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1915. Since approximately from 58 to 60 per cent of the animals killed in the country are slaughtered in estab- lishments where federal inspection is maintained, it appears that about 100, 000,000 meat animals are now being killed each year in the United States. Of the animals subjected to federal inspection, 299,958 were condemned as unfit for human use, and 644,688 were | condemned in part. Thus a litle more than 11 per cent of all the animals inspected were condemned either in whole or in part. These figures in- | clude only cattle, calves, sheep, goats ' and swine. Tuberculosis was the chief cause of the condemnations. More than 32,644 carcasses of cattle and 66,000 car casses of swine were entirely rejected | on account of this disease, and in ad- | dition, parts of 48,000 cattle and 40,000 swine. Hog cholera was responsible | for the next largest loss, nearly 102, | 000 swine being condemned entirely on | this account. j The annual appropriation for the fed. eral meat inspection service is now | about $3,375,000, so that the cost to the | people would be between 5 and 6 cents ! per animal and carcasses. In addition ! however, great quantities of the meat | and products are re-inspected. In this | item there was a very considerable in | crease during the last fiscal year, the re-inspection resulting in the condem | nation of a total of nezrly 19,000,00C | pounds of products of one kind o1' another. Furthermore 245,000,00( pounds of imported meat or meat prod ' ucts were inspected, and more than 2,000,000 pounds condemned or refused entry. In the course of its work, the bu ! reau of animal industry, which. is in charge of the meat inspection service, has discovered a new method of de | stroying trichinae in pork, which is an additional safeguard to human health. Refrigeration at a tempera | ture of 5 degrees, F., or lower, for a : period of 20 days, will destroy these | parasites which occasionally give rise in human beings to the serious dis ease known as trichinosis. Hitherte the only known safeguard against this ! disease has been thorough cooking of all pork and pork products, and those persons who neglect this precaution | have always been more or less exposed | to the danger. Unless pork is known to have been subjected to refrigeration as above indicated, it should be thor oughly cooked. The microscopic ex | amination of pork for the detection of | trichinae has been abandoned as the | usual methods have proved inefficient | In this connection it is interesting tc note that more swine were slaughtered in the past year in establishments un der federal inspection than ever be fore. A total of 36,247,953 were in spected at the time of slaughter, and approximately 35,900,000 passed foi food. ! EXPERT IN COOKERY Mrs. Jesse Hardy MacKaye of the Congressional Union for Woman Suf | frage, has been responsible for the | thousands of articles explaining “the | cause,” sent out by the organizetion in the past two or three years. Bul she is not only known as a specialist in publicity. In suffrage circles she is famed as a cook. She explains: ‘1 am my own cook, not only because ] : enjoy it, but because I believe that, as in the nation, conservation in the home is the corner stone cf prepared: | ness.” ~——Subscribe for the WATCHMAN. Only Immediate Relatives of the Couple to Be Present at the Ceremony—Honeymoon Trip to the South Is Planned—Galt Home Where Wedding Will Be Performed to Be Veritable Conservatory—Marriages of Other Presidents Recalled. By GEORGE CLINTON. (Copyright, 1915, Western Newspaper Union.) Washington.—In a small, unpre- tentious house, 1308 Twentieth street, in this city, Mrs. Edith Bolling Galt, widow, will be married Saturday, De- cember 18, to Woodrow Wilson, wid- ower and president of the United States. : Not since the marriage of President John Tyler to Miss Julia Gardiner has there been a wedding of a president marked by such extreme quiet and se- clusiveness as is to be the case at this wedding which will join the Wil- son and the Galt families. President Tyler went to New York to be mar- ried to Miss Gardiner and there at the Church of the Ascension in the pres- ence of only a handful of persons he took unto himself his second wife. At the coming wedding of another presi- dent of the United States there will be present no persons except those of the immediate families of the two con- tracting parties. Only one cabinet officer, Mr. Mec- Adoo, will witness the ceremony, and he not by right of his official position, but because he is the son-in-law of the president, having married Mr. Wilson's youngest daughter. When Grover Cleveland was married in the White House to Miss Folsom, the wedding party was a small one, but included in it were members of the president’s cabinet and several other high officers of government. President Wilson and Mrs. Galt have decreed that their union shall be wholly a family affair. Relatives Only to Be Present. Mrs. Galt will be attended by her sister, Miss Bertha Bolling of this city. Even with the guests limited to the members of the families of the president and his bride-to-be the ca- pacity of the parlors in the modest Galt home will be taxed, for both the principals have many close relatives. To witness the ceremony and to give congratulations to the newly mar- ried ones these persons, among other kinsfolk, will be present: Miss Mar- garet Wilson, the president’s eldest | daughter; Mrs. Francis Bowes Sayre of Williamstown, Mass., the president's second daughter; Mrs. William G. Mc Adoo, the president's third daughter; Mrs. Anne Howe of Philadephia, the | president’s sister; Joseph R. Wilson of | Baltimore, the president’s brother; Miss Helen Woodrow Bones, the presi dent’s cousin, and several other close ! relatives of the president’s family. Mrs. Galt, who, before her first mar riage was Miss Edith Bolling of Vir | ginia, has several brothers and sisters all of whom will attend the wedding Mrs. Galt’s mother, Mrs. William H. Bolling, is living and makes her home with her daughter. Mrs. Galt’s sisters who will be in attendance are Miss Bertha Bolling of Washington and Mrs. H. H. Maury of Anniston, Ala. Her brothers, all of whom will at tend, are John Randolph Bolling, Rich: ard W. Bolling, Julian B. Bolling, all of Washington; R. E. Bolling of Pana: ma and Dr. W. A. Bolling of Louis ville, Ky. To Avoid Big Crowd. Up to the very last moment it is probable that the exact hour of the wedding ceremony will be kept a se cret. The desire is to prevent the gathering of a huge crowd about the Galt residence. As soon as the cere mony is over and the members of the family have congratulated the bride and groom, the newly married ones will leave for the South on a honey moon trip which probably will last un: till the first week in January. The president and his bride must be back in Washington before January 7 in or der to act as host and hostess at a great reception tc be given in the White House to the Pan-American rep resentatives in the capital, and, more over, because congress by that time will have reconvened after the Christ mas holidays and Mr. Wilson must be back at his desk. The White House conservatories and several of the private conserva tories of the city of Washington will Home of Mrs. Galt. Where the Ceremony Will Be Performed. . will be afternoon teas and many mu have their stocks of flowers nearly depleted in order to make beautiful with blossoms the scene of this wed- ding of a president. The Galt resi- dence virtually will become a con- servatory itself on the night of the ceremony. There will be music fur- nished by a small orchestra assigned ! from the membership of the Marine band, but the actual wedding march is likely to be played upon a piano by Miss Bertha Bolling, one of Mrs. Galt’s sisters. Orchids Mrs. Galt’s Favorite. An altar, which virtually will be a bank of flowers, is to be erected at the west end of the parlors of the resi- dence. The bride-to-be will meet the president at the foot of the stairway in a hall without the wedding room, and will walk with him from there to the altar front. Mrs. Galt will carry a bouquet of orchids, which Mr. Wil- son found out long ago to be her fa- vorite flowers. She will be attired in no traveling gown. The ring will be a plain gold circlet inscribed with the the initials of bride and groom. Mrs. Edith Bolling Galt has been known for a good many years as one of the most perfectly gowned women in Washington. She is a handsome woman and always dresses in exqui- site taste. Her gowns always have been chosen with rare care and almost perfect judgment. For some time Mrs. Galt has been busy in selecting her trousseau, being aided in this most important work by her mother, Mrs. Bolling, a woman of excellent discern- ment. Mrs. Galt’s trousseau already has arrived in Washington. Its selec- tion was a matter of months and some controversies arose as to what might be called its origin. There were stories to the effect that French sup- ply houses resented supplying any- thing through German-American mid- dle men. Most of the stories were baseless, and it can be said that al- most wholly Mrs. Galt’s wedding out- fit is of American origin. Resume White House Functions. Dark green and orchid are the pre-. dominating hues in the gowns of the bride-to-be, for, as has been said, orchids are Mrs. Galt’s favorite flow- ers. There are traveling gowns, street gowns, and evening gowns, the latter of which will be seen throughout the coming winter when the White House is to be reopened for a series of old- time entertainments. The four great official receptions, which were omitted last winter, will be resumed, and there sicals. . President Wilson is the sixth presi: dent of the United States to marry a widow. Washington, Jefferson, Madi- son, Fillmore and Benjamin Harrison married widows, in one or two cases the widow being the second wife of the president. John Tyler and Theo- dore Roosevelt each married the sec: ond time, but their wives had not be. fore been wedded. It is not necessary to speak of George Washington's marriage. The world knows of his courtship, engage- ment and wedding. His love was “the widow Curtis.” Thomas Jefferson, at the home of a friend, John Wayles, met Martha Skelton, Wayles’ widowed daughter. She was a beautiful wom: and and much sought after, but Jef ferson finally won her heart. Beautiful Dolly Madison. It is possible that Dolly Madison, the wife of President James Madison, | is, in a way, better known to Ameri. | cans than any other wife ef a presi. | dent except; of course, Martha Wash- | ington. i John Tyler was married twice, the second time while he was president. His first wife was Letitia Christian, who belonged to one of the old fami- lies of Virginia. Mrs. Tyler bore the president nine children. Just before her husband was elected vice presi- | dent of the United States Mrs. Tyler | had a stroke of paralysis, and a short | time after he succeeded William Hen: ry Harrison as president she died, the | death occurring in the White House. | The second winter after the death | of Mrs. Tyler the president met Julia, | the daughter of a Gardiner who lived | on an island in Long Island sound. | The president fell desperately in love | with the young woman and soon they became engaged and were married quietly at the Church of the Ascen- sion in New York city. The Cleveland Marriage. Grover Cleveland did not marry un- til fairly late in life. He married Frances Folsom, the daughter of his law partner, whom he had known when she was a little girl at an age | when she had called him “Uncle Cleve.” Mr. Cleveland and Miss Fol- som were married in the Blue room at the White House. For a long time it was thought that President Wilson would be married in. the White House. For some reason or other people took it for granted that Mrs. Galt would prefer a cere- mony in the executive mansion. From the point of view of womankind it seemingly is a compelling thing to be able to speak of a White House wed- ding as one of the participants. Mrs. Galt, however, held to the thought that | a woman should be married in her own home rather than in that of her husband. She did not believe in| breaking the American home prece- | dent in such matters, a world’s prece. ! dent in fact. Washington generally ! concedes that she showed good taste ! in her quick determination that her ! own house should be the scene of the | wedding. Dry Goods, Etc. LYON & COMPANY.
