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."

Sold by Albany Drug Co., Hllsman-Sale Drug Co. 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.
