Weaver and councils, and, It la un
derstood,. hns their approval.
Recent Investigation by the meat In
spectors In tha employ of the bureau
of health have revealed the existence
of conditions which are said to be al
most aa bad as those exposed by Pres
ident Roosevelt’s commission. The In-
one place, they found carcasses of
steers and sheep lying on the floor of
a refuse littered collar.
In an alarming number of places,
they found diseased meat, tho majority
of which was tubercular. Private
stalls were found to be a favorite place
for slaughtering. Incredible filth
abounds.
Them revelations have lad Dr. Ab

real and permanent remedy for the
private slaughter house evil la the es
tablishment of a centrally located
slaughter house owned by tha city.
"Such slaughter houses era operated
In cities of Germany,” ha said, "and
they are operated with success. Train
