Something New In Life Insurance.
In addition to carrying your policy
from the 10th to the 20th year for 6
per cent, of the premium, and if you
die in that period no charge is made
against your policy, you can, by pay
ing 50 cents extra for each $1,000, be
insured against total or permanent dis

Former Branch House Man
ager Tells How They Are
Never Allowed to Return
Goods.
From the Atlanta News.
Chicago, Ill., June 5.—How the big
packing ' companies supply managers
of their branch houses in various cit
ies with the necessary materials and
paraphernalia for " doctoring up ”
spoiled and, tainted meat In order that
It may be sold for human consumption
Is described by W. A. Reeves, of No.
275 Hayne avenue, a former branch
house manager for the Armour and
other packing companies. He declared
that while the packers Impose upon
the retail dealer and the public gen
erally they are ably assisted by cer
tain butchers In every section of the
country who are willing to handle any
thing so long as they get It cheap
enough.
These dealers are known In flic ver
nacular of the packing business as
“dumping grounds." When the branch
house, according to Reeves, has sent
out the same rotten quarter of boef
two or three times to honest retail
ers, who refuse to accept It at any
price, It goeB ns a last resort to the
“dumping grounds” at bargain prices
and Is then disposed of to the Ignorant
and unsophisticated consumer in some
form or another, usually sausage, af
ter it has been deodorized and
"doped” with “freezallne” or other
preservatives.
“I remember one Instance,” said Mr.
Reeves, “while I was running tjie
branch house for Armour’s at Free
port, when two fore quarters of beet
were shipped out three different times
and each time returned. They were
past hope of ‘doctoring up’ by us, and
nothing ever goes back to the packing
house, while the manager Is expected
to dispose of everything he receives.
Those, beeves went to the'local ‘dump
ing ground.' We had another ‘dump
ing ground’ at Rockford. The man
there runs four retail markets. On
one occasion^ we had twelve fore quar
ters of beef the stench from which
was fearful. The Rockford ‘dumping
ground' man bought them at 2 cents a
pound.
“The cheaper grade of hams are not
smoked at all, because smoking and
drying means shrinkage, and shrink
age of any kind Is directly opposed to
the business principles of the v pack-
ers. In order, however, that the pub-
11c may at least live under the Im
pression that they are eating real
smoked and cured hams, the hams
are left in pickle several days and
then painted a seductive brown with
a preparation known as ‘Smokelln’ or
‘liquid smoke.’ Very few of the cheap
grades of ham—‘picnic hams’ or Cali
fornia hams,’ the latter being shoul
ders—ever see the inside of a smoke
house."

And That Is Why an Au
gusta Lady’s Letter Is
Causing No End of Merri
ment.
The State Board of Health owes Al
bany an apology. Its zeal has caused
the finger of unjust suspicion to be
pointed In this city’s direction, and
the case Is not without its comical
side.
It was announced In The Herald
and other newspapers of the state sev
eral weeks ago that arrangements had
been made by the State Board of
Health for prosecuting a series of in-
vestlgatings in thiB section during the
present summer, for the purpose of
determining) If possible, certain polntB
In connection with various climatic
fevers*—points over which there now
exists doubt, or at least disagreement.
It was distinctly stated that the fe
vers which would receive the consid
eration of the doctors and bacteriolo
gists selected for the work were pecul
iar to the whole lower half of Georgia
and to a number of other Southern
states—In fact, of all the South ex
cept the mountainous sections. It Is
proposed, as was stated, to confine the
Investigations to the mild fevers of
the slow or Intermittent typo, not the
better understood types of typhus and
others so generally dreaded. State
ment was further mode that whjle Al
bany would be made headquarters for
the work, the Investigations of the
board of health would cover a consid
erable territory. ,
Now comes the amusing part of ft
all.
A lady of Albany who has a sister
living In Augusta has received a letter
from that sister, who Is In sore dis
tress.
The lady In Augusta pleads with her
sister in Albany to "leave Albany in
stantly, to escape that dreadful fever
that is raging there, and to combat
which a board of experts has been
called In." The Albany lady Is almost
tearfully urged to not only leave, but
to take her husband, father and other
relatives with her. -
Now, to employ a bit of slang worn
threadbare, but nevertheless exceed
ingly expressive, “Wouldn’t that jar
your preserves?’’
Albany was never healthier than
she is today. There is absolutely no
epidemic disease within her confines
—not even measles, chicken pox or
any of the other lesser Ills, There
are no fevers raging. Never within
the last fifteen years has there been
less sickness. Our best information
1b that there has not been a 1 single
death In the city from fever during
the entire spring and the summer to
date. In short, the health conditions
of the community are perfect.
That Is why the letter from the Au
gusta lady has caused more 'merriment
than concern. She has been assured
that her fears are groundless.
But It Is “up to” the State Board of
Health to apologize to Albany. Its
zeal haB created a false Impression.
Its representatives have not yet come
to this city, but they will be welcomed
when they do arrive, and It Is hoped
that their Investigations In Southwest
Georgia will be fruitful of discoveries
of value to the medical fraternity.
