THE BUTCHERS BOIRD OF TRADE Exposzes a Misleading Statement Made by the Western Meat Company. | Local Inspection by Board of Health Better Than Gov- ernment Inspection. A more deliberate and premedit tempt to gull and deceive the general 1 i than tne recent advertising circular is- sued by the Western Meat Company has never been perpetrated on the Pacific Coast. It is known to the butchering trade as t Purple Stamp Fake,” but as the majority of meat buyers may not un derstand the duplicity and untrut.fulness of the statements theérein set forth, it b ymes necessary for the good of the trade i the protection of the public to expose its trie nature. 0 begin, with, the circular in question atte on its meat by the United States Meat In- spector, as A gign that “the beef was healthy and the meat fit for food.” That, of course, would be the natural presump- tion, provided the reader did not know the true inwardness of the business. Let us explain: * Some time ago several European gov- ernments, particularly that of Germany, abjected to the importation of Ameri meate upon several grounds, the principal of which was the doubtful quality of the Now in these same European coun s meat is subjected to strict examina- tion by inspectors who thoroughly under- stand their business, and it was argued by th 15pects packers that if United § ors were appointed who would presum- mine the animal before killin thefr stamp upon the tinne 8O the governments in question would | be satisfied_and this vital objection be overcome. To ain thie end the Federal priated the amount of v and a staff of meat in- appointed, for the most part vil service corps, into on had been ined by p! iciency rdinary rudiments of education. It easily understood that the men & ed were lacking in the qualifica Government $4.500,000 ann apy » tions necessary to properly fill the posi- fon, viz., judgment of meat and veteri- v sur ; but this class of know! S THE LAST REQUIRED BY | PACKERS. All they wanted was stamp upon the goods, the outward and | visible sign of the United States inspec- | tion.

The fact is that the of such establishments is er circumstances which, nction with the freezing ved, renders it unhealthy stamp or 1 amp. is well known that the meat of any htered while a feverish 1d according to keep S s indigestion and his reason it is ss slaughterers n eaten. n of all fir rvousness of the half wild ani- re than sufficient to set up a ral ne is mc h would render the at once, as is done refrigerated m human food. The carcass unc circums s will bleed free its tendency to rapid decomposition prevent this the packers, after having duly seen the meat purple stamped by the Urited States Meat Inspectors rush the meat into the refrigerator and by the freezing process prevent it from going bad on their hands. By this method they gain from 30 to nds weight per carcass from the blood remaining in the m caring how soon it decomposes ir of what sickr cted slaughter rested until in a when killed all the blood, whic ws freely, is drained from the car- hen cass is is done by the butc to in- sure healthy meat for the public to sat- isfy inspection by the Health B ing so they lose not only the g from the adc of the blood in the careass, but also the keep of the animals while resting. The butchers know that it is the consensus of mec al weig by the packers Is not as wholesome or as lous as in its natural state—that is v hey know further meat sl d preserved as is mary in packing houses is bad for heaith and liable to produce intestinal rbances—that such meats, whether by the purple stamp of the United )ectors or not, are not equal in s in their natural state. contains a long list of . much after slar known and unknown diseas circ the style of a_quack medicine advertise- ment. These dis s it impudently and untruthfully declares will be contracted by consumers foolls! enough to buy undecorated with a purple stamp. Read- ers of thi ticle will, however, under- stand that such a mp simply’ certifies | fhat the meat bearing it is artificlally preserved by refrigeration and therefore and nutrition to inferior in digestibility meats marketed without {t. Any one de- siring an illustration can take a walk through Chin: wn_where much of this meat is exhibited for sale on the streets, most all of which comes from Baden. The circular falls into an interrogatory mood on several occasions. It asks, “What is the result where there is no inspection?” and again, “Why do not all abattoirs have Inspection?’ These ques- tions are asked for the simple purpose of impressing upon the public that all meat placed on the market, other than that ming from Baden, has not been in- d. THIS 1S A LIE RY INFER- . and as such may mislead those not aware that the municipal government of Ban Francisco and every other city in the country has a highly trained and ef- ficlent staff of slaughter-house and mar- ket inspectors under the direction of the Board of Health. Therefore, no meat is sold which has not been inspected, al- though it may not bear the purple stamp. In fact such inspection by the officials of the Board of Health is so strict and thor- ough that packers like those at Baden prefer to carry on business in localiti in San Mateo and Contra Costa counties, for instance—where there is no Board of Health, naturally preferring the inspec- tion of Uncle Sam’s Civil Service grad- uate, with his little purple stamp. In our opinion inspection like that existing at Baden is worse than none at all, because it is a fake Inspection, made for the pur- pose of misleading the public as to the quality and purity of artificially preserved meats by the means of a purple stamp wielded indiscriminately by an unquali- fied United States official. This mendacious circular states that “if the people of the city in buying would see fhat the desired cut comes from a beef bearing the purple brand they would never be worried as to the quality or purity of the meat.” While It is true that people are forgetful, some things make such a deep impression upon the public mind that a long time is needed to efface them. Tt is not forgotten that the ‘“em- balmed” and impure refrigerated meats supplied to our army in Cuba directly caused three thousand deaths, and how many llnst‘rlns vietims of consumption, indigestion and other stomachic troubles will never be known. The company is- ted at-| on to the purple stamp placed | which | pec ncl Embalmed Beef” g the panish-America t was early shown that ) was to oW eves of foreigners and meat unfit for human | that the purple | cattle to re or ten| ays after leaving t tle trucks.

The diseased refrigerated beef sold by butcher of Oakland to the Eighth Regiment, U V., was directly traced to it by the label or purple stamps upon s lump-of imvurity. another and incontestable proof of inspection to which such abattoirs the one at Baden are sub- cted is of no protection to the public. Therefore, the purple brand is not, as the | circular claims. a proof of either quality or putity, but meat bearing it may prove, as did the Oakland butcher’s meat, a mass of corruption infested with the germs of | consumption. Let the public avoid artificially pre- served and refrigerated meats in spite of the hlandishments of the United States | inspectors’ purple stamp. .

GNATILS St. Joseph Church's Re- vered Patron Extolled in Sermon. Superior Rev. J. Frieden and Other Clergymen Officiate at Services. QeSO Ignatius Chyrch was crowded yes- terday morning when the feast of the patronage of St. Joseph was observed with prayer and exquisite music. The feast is always celebrated the third Sun day after Easter and appeals to the de- vout and falthful. 5 The beautiful ceremonies began with St. high mass at 10:3) o'clock, the Rev. ! Father Butler being celebrant, the Rev. Father Francis deacon and A. R. Drathman sub-deacon. William Lonergan | acted as master of ceremonies and was assisted by twenty-three acolytes. The Rev. Father J. P. Frieden, superior of the Jesuits on the Pacific Coast, dellv- ered a profound sermon, taking for his subject “‘St. Joseph, the Universal Pat- ron of the Church.” Father Frieden spoka of the dignity of St. Joseph, and showed how he was chosen to be the protector of the Lord and the Blessed Virgin. He said, also, that Bt. Joseph w endowed with all the necessary qualifications for 80 exalted a vocation. St. Josevoh, said Father Frieden, continued still to look after the best inerests of the church in each individual, of which St. Joseph rec- ognized, he sald, the child of God re- deemed by the precious blood of a God man. Father Frieden concluded by ex- horting all to have recourse to SO POW- erful a patron in all their spiritual and temporal needs. The evening service was no less impres- sive and consisted of solemn vespers and solemn benediction. The Rev. Fatier Al- len was celebrant, the Rev. Father Joseph A. Mulligan deacon, John J. Hayes sub- deacon and the assistant priest was the Rev. Father John J. Ford. The Rev. Father Woods preached the sermon. Convicted of Murdering His Brother. CODY, Wyo., May 3.—James J.
