About Those Turkeys f decayed poultry has been dis » half tons of chickens, turkeys and geese have * been accumulated by Seattle commission men and deliber ith ago the price of turkeys for Thanksgiving was t in years Today and every day in the year there are people in Seattle ally hungry men, women and children suffer for something to eat, Seattle commission men are complacently watehing tons of food rott , tintil it can be sold as fertilizer, ly reason for doing this is to hold up prices. They deliberately interfere with the law of supply and demand. They eut off the supply and stimulate the demand, and the prices go up. It makes no difference to these commission men whether or not John Jones must deny his children a chicken on Thanks- giving or New Year's. That is Mr, Jones’ lookout! Neither does it make any difference to them whether Peter Smith is walking the streets hungry, with Mrs. Smith at home staring at an empty cupboard which mocks her children’s cries for good nourishing food. “Let the poultry rot and let the Smiths rot if they want to,’ is the humane stand of the commission man Tust think of it—tons of food rotting when there are so many hungry mouths to feed The law can do nothing because there is no evidence that the commis The health officers are interested only in rotten meat But the poor, the sick and the starving, they are interested jn meat, meat that is taken from the market because it might become cheap enough for them to get some And this isn’t being done by any vague foreign trust. It is the deed of citizens and residents of Seattle; business men; men of prominence; men of standing in the community. ion men intended to sell this rotten meat A hungry man who stole one chicken from a butcher's stall would be sent to jail for months What is there to be done to men who steal tons of chickens from the public, not because t! are in need, but solely thr These are the deeds upon which revolt fattens; these acts fill the halls when Emma Goldman speaks; these men are the greatest exponents or anarchy existing today. Once more, just think of it! THIRTEEN THOUSAND POUNDS OF POULTRY DELIBERATELY ALLOWED TO ROT! are hungry, not because they ed of gold? A Word to the Men Here's a letter to The Star which takes up a que &@ newspaper ordinarily does not discuss. It isn’t a pleasant sub- ject, nor one people like to think about Yet it affects a large number of men number, if the médical reports are at all to be credited. And} when a man needs advice on this subject, he needs it badly The letter follows on that unbelievably large doctors claiming to cure men’s diseases to be relied on? “READER.” Well, perhaps there are some good ones. But most of them him for the last cent he has. It is easy for a doctor to make one’s “physicians” keep their victims coming back again and again, giving them a course of treatment which, if it does not keep the results in permanent injury. So the answer to this letter is—‘keep away.” Go to.a reputable physician who has a general practice Keep away from the other fellows. It may cost you a littlé more at first. It will be cheaper in the long run, and you will not be risking permanent injury.
