McCANN The Purcliasc of Nine Hindquarters of Diseased Old Cows Bearing the "In spected anil Passed" Stamp Pro voked a Situation Which Contrast ed With the Reactionary Activities of the People's Representatives, Discloses Much of the Dangers by Which Self-Government Is Con fronted When the Things to Be Governed Are Deliberately Hidden From the Eyes of the Governors. Following my purchase of nine hindquarters of diseased old cows, bearing the New York City Health Department "inspected and passed" stamp, Lucius P. Brown, director of the Bureau of Food and Drug inspec tion, commenced to realize the des perate nature of the situation which confronted him. During a period of sudden activity lasting ten days he located, on his own account, twelve more hindquarters of diseased old cows in the butcher shops of New York City, each piece of meat bearing the "inspected and pass ed" stamp of his department. The difference between the results of ac Prominent Live Stock Man Praises Tanlac (icorjc W. 10a rdman Says Master Medicine Relieved Him of Khcumatic Pains IS OUT IX ALIj WEATHERS "My business is buying and selling horses, cattle and other livestock and I have to be driving around the coun try in oil sorts of weather," says George W. Eardman, of Millersburg, Pa., one of the largest livestock com mission dealers in this section. "As a result I contracted rheuma tism and it had been banging away at me for a good long time. Nothing fancy about it, Just the plain old-fash ioned kind of rheumatism that tells you when there's a change coming in the weather by making you ache all over. That's the kind that had me. "Well, sir, I took a crack at all sorts of remedies that I heard about from time to time but nary one of them could scare old man Rheumatiz and he Just, sat tight and said noth ing, Just kept whanging away at me for all he was worth. "But I put one over on him when I started taking Tanlac for I had him on the run before he knew what was coming. "Tanlac sure did chase away the aches and pains, it seemed to simply melt away until now I can stand any kind of weather with nary a twinge. It'B great stuff, that Tanlac, and I'd advise every rheumatic to take it and shake his misery." Tanlac, the famous reconstructive tonic, is now being Introduced here at Gorgas' Drug Store, where the Tanlac man is meeting the people and explaining the merits of this master medicine. Tanlac is sold also at the Gorgas' Drug Store in the P. R. R. Station. Our Rose Cold Cream A favorite with those who appreciate perfect skin and beauty.

In the midst of these disclosures I caught one of the slaughterer's agents in the act of selling four hindquarters of tubercular meat. The circum stances surrounding his offense were so incriminating that he decided the best way to escape the consequences of his act would be to tell all he knew. He confessed that a graft fund ex isted in the slaughtering establish ments for the payment of Health De partment officials. He said he had frequently seen the drivers of the slaughterers stamp the carcasses of diseasesd cows with the Health De partment seal given to them for that purpose by Health Department offic ials. Confessing that he had been mixed up in the distribution of hundreds of diseased carcasses, he described how the forequarters were boned out and put away in cold storage to be dis posed of under favorable market con ditions, to bologna and frankfurter manufacturers. "The Health Department," he said, "keeps the slaughterers informed of the movements of out-of-town in spectors, so that when a threatened survey becomes imminent the killing plants can be closed down for sev eral days until all danger is passed. As four more diseased carcasses bearing the United State Bureau of Animal Industry "inspected and pass ed" stamp, were discovered in New York shops by the agents of Director Brown, thus proving that the federal government's inspection system also contained loop holes. I escorted the author of the confession recorded above to Commissioner of Accounts Wallstein, who learned that on the last twelve killing days of January, 1916, 3,364 cows were slaughtered in the establishments operating under the jurisdiction of the New York City Health Department. During this time 1,847 udders, so badly diseased that they were too unsightly for sale, were condemned. These condemnations indicated the true character of the cows that finally met their death in order to feed New York City with diseased meat after a long career in the production of dis eased milk. Their physical condition at the time of slaughter indexed the qual ity of milk which up to that hour they had been producing for the but ter and cheese factories of the State. Commissioner Wallstein needed no further stimulation. He began at once the construction of a trap that would catch the offenders and establish the legal evidence of their guilt. In the mean time the New York State senators and assemblymen con stituting the agricultural committee of the Legislature at Albany saw to it that all laws aimed at the eradica tion of the evils which these disclos ures revealed were smothered. One of the members of the com mittee that buried the bovine tuber culosis bill, formulated by Dr. Theo bald Smith of the Rockefeller Insti tute Dr. Veranus A. Moore of Cornell University, and Seth Low, was Sena tor Charles W. Wicks. Wicks was appointed by the Legislature to act as chairman of an investigating commis sion endowed by the representatives of the people with an appropriation of $25,000 for its expenses. While the devilment which we are about to describe was being enacted the Wicks committee entered into a series of extraordinary adventures which culminated, in the latter part of 1916, In Governor Whitman's ap pointment of Senator Wicks to mem- 'HE..,, ■ L i J ■ m*srr>m Tour eye* are worthy of the best attention you can give J^BBtSIKjGER 205 LOCUST ST.
