Admirable System % Inspecting and Handling Food =Animals in Suc- cessful Operati at Paris, Texas. Following are extracts from an illustrated artic in Ice and Re- frigeration for Oct er, 1910, which were promised in st week's Chief to be laid before o readers today: What is said to the first muni- cipal abattoir and uction plant in the United States R completed and started at Paris, Te s, in December, 1909. Prior to th eonstruction of this municipal abat r there were a number of private slaughterhouses in and around the cy, most of them rudely constructed, ocated on low, damp ground; usua the only water available was from shallow wells or pools. Everything a!ut them was ex- tremely insanitary' The municipal officers sought to ,prove the con- ditions, but the sla•hterhouses be- ng outside the to, were beyond their immediate juri~dicticn. Efforts were made to induie the several butchers to combine or form a stock company to build •ad operate a modern 'plant under city inspection, but business rivalr prevented the consummation of thl plan, Finally, under the leadersh$ of Mayor E. I. McQuistion, a bRd issue to ob- tain the necessary-funds was au- thorized by popular -yte, and the city officials promptly e cted the plant shown in the accompanying views. The accepted plans.i!ere those made by Wannenwetsch &o., Buffalo, N. Y., who also furnihed the outfit for the rendering pl tt. The abattoir is 1oeted on one of I the principal streets near the cor- ,orate limits of -e town, with Swelling houses on ,ll sides of it, ne of them within 4:00 feet of the lant. The buildings are constructed 1 )f wood and corrupted iron with he exception of r s, foundations cnd floors, the latte- being of con- i :rete. The reducti1, killing and { :ooling rooms are alb two stories in I ceight, while the eline room, of- I ice and dressing r dbms are one i Ltor'y. "If the plant were to be recon- tructed,"says Mayor^McQuistion.,"we I would build the col` storage and I hill rooms out of' ick or cement I and would remov r reduction I ,om to a distancey t least fifty mmediately adjie o the build- ng are stock ph latform scales .nd the necessar n-ways to prop- 1 rly facilitate the handling of ani- nals for slaughter. The plant- is i arge enough to take care of about l ifty head of cattle per day of ten lonrs, but in addition to cattle, hogs ad sheep are also slaughtered. The city does not purchase any nimals or sell any meat; it merely laughters, under proper sanitary onditions, the animals that are of- ered by the local butchers or others ho wish to avail themselves of the acilities offered. The use of the lunicipal plant is not made directly ompulsory, but by ordinance it is rovided that all animals must be laughtered in some plant which has 11 the various sanitary precautions nd equipment maintained at the lunjcipal plant., As a result, all lo- a al slaughtering is done at the t unicipal abattoir. t The killing room is well lighted nd perfectly screened. All doors ave vestibules and are double 1 creened. The floors are concrete, arefully laid to grade and the en- ire surface troweli finished. Bell i aps are provided at the low points id each equipped with a water seal c nd all connected with the city sew- c rs. Overhead is a complete system f steel tracks and traveling trol- 0 ys so laid out as to facilitate in n very possible way the handling of a 11 the animals from the knock down a en out to the inspector's rail and t ito the chill room. f Ja the killing room are nph scald- ing vat and thd inspector's tables upon which the viscera are all laid for inspection before being removed to the rendering room. Provision is also made here for catching and con- serving the blood, it being an im- portant ingredient in the product of the reduction plant. The equip- ment of this room also includes knives, scrapers, skewers, hand- hoists and such other implements as are usually found in the ordinary slaughterhouses. All animals slaughtered receive final inspection and are stamped and tagged while upon the inspector's rail in the killing room. They are next moved on overhead trolleys into the chill room, which is immediately ad- jacent. here they rtomuin about twelve hours at a te'mperature of practically 40 degrees F., after which the carcasses are removed into the refrigerating room proper, to await the demand of the meat cutter. The walls, ccilings and floors of both the chill and cooler rooms are in- sulated with waterproof Lith board laid in cement. Above both chill room and cooler are bunker rooms or coil lofts for the direct expansion piping which takes up the heat rising from the meat hung on the rails in the rooms lbelow. The drip from these pipes when frost melts off is caught in pans and trapped out of the building. Dry refrigeration is thus assured, and Mayor McQuistion writes: "No carcass ever comes out dark or slimy." The rendering room is' at the ex- Silliman College for Girls Clinton, La.

It is equipped s with a Wannenwetsch rendering ma- 1 chine, a grease tank, overhead k tracks, and the necessary hand and a steam hoists. All the offal in the 1, killing room and all dead stock from e in and around the city are put into the tank in this room. After a .charge is put in the tank is hermet- - ically sealed and not opened until - the finished products are taken out, :y after three to six hours treatment, t by which time they are practically odorless. The gases and odors that e are not condensed and trapped into r. the sewer are passed under.the fire t box and boiler and are consumed there. The products of the rendering f plant are tallow and tankage. The tallow is sold at from five to five n and a halt cents a pound and is readily purchased by laundrymen and soapmakers. The tankage is worth 1 by chemical analysis as a fertilizer z $23.50 a ton. In many places chops, s and grain are mixed with it and it is then sold as chicken feed. The owner of the animals receives the hide, all the tallow adhering to the carcass, as well as the rough fat from the offal. The remaining fat adhering to the offal recovered in the rendering tank goes to the city. No e effort is made to utilize any other 1 by-products, such as hoofs for. glue, bristles from hogs, tail switches of 1 cattle, ete, - The refrigerating plant is equipped -rated at about'ten tons refrigerating capacity per day of twenty-four - hours. A thorough system of inspection is maintained by the city, the chief t inspector being a graduate veterin- arian who has had a special course of instruction under skilled govern- ment inspectors. Two inspections are made, first the ante-mortem, second the pest-mortem. The first ,is made in the stock pens, the sec- ond in the killing room, the latter including not alone inspection of the carcass, but also a careful in- spection of the viscera together with the lungs and liver. The rules of inspection are the same as are used by the United States government in- spectors in tlbe packing houses. If animals are rejected on live inspec- tion the owners are notified and the animals are at once removed from the pens. If the rejection is de- termined upon in the killing room the carcass is tanked and the owner is allowed what it is worth in tal- low and tankage. The inspector is the ranking employe and makes daily reports to the city secretary, who keeps the accounts. In addition to the inspector the regular employes in- clude an engineer, two slaughterers, one driver and one deadstock man. "It was not the design of our plant to make money," says the mayor, "but it was thought best to make it' self-sustaining; accordingly after two months' experience we de- termined, that we would charge $1.25 for each beef, and seventy-five cents for each calf, hog, sheep or goat. These charges cover the two in- spections, slaughtering, five days' cold storage, and delivery on the hook in the meat cutters' shop. If any carcass is left -in the refrigerat- ing rooms longer than five days a charge of ten cents per day is made. 1 '"We have demonstrated to the I satisfaction of every butchr that we can hang a carcass on the hook in his shop cheaper than he can, and further that there is no sort of legitimate comparison between our I system and the one he formerly em- ployed. 1 "However practical and beneficial our present plant and system has proved to be, it is still susceptible to further development. We expect later to require the inspection and slaughter of chickens and other fowls sold or offered for sale in the local market, to be conducted under our supervision. We expect also to grind sausage and render lard and tallow at our plant. "The plant cost complete $10,000. 1 Our estimated population is 15,000. While the 'plant is small, it has every facility for producing pure and wholesome food that is possessed by the largest packing house iu the country. Our capacity is ample for present ieeds, blL the time must come ie a very few years when it must be increased." Chronic Sore Eyes 1 are easily cured with Sutherland's I Eagle Eye Salve.

Middle-Aged Man Meets Father For First Time. William Walker, aged 52 years, a farmer of Mount Pleasant, Pa., re- cently met his father, John A. Walker. aged 72 years, of La Porte, Ind., for the first ti-me in his life, to his knowledge, at the bier of Charles A. Walker, the brother of John A. Over fifty-one years ago John A. Walker left Mount Pleasant, leaving behind his young wife and four- months-old son. He went to La Porte, Ind., and, for more than twenty-five years was marshal of that city. He remarried, as did his wife, who mourned him as dead. Learning of the death of his brother,Walker went to Mount Pleas- ant. He talked with his son for some time at the side of the cof- fin before their identity was es- tablished. The father greeted the son warmly, but refused to say what had caused him to desert his fam- ily over a half century ago. The first Mrs. Walker still lives, but her second husband is dead. Walker says he will return to Indiana. Abe Martin Says Th' feller that's interested in his work don't care what time 'tis. Sprayin' won't kill a humbug.

A few days ago there passed into the eternal life at the home of the Eastern Star in Washington, D. C., Mrs. Sue Landon Vaughn, the patri- otic daughter of the southland who is accredited with the conception of the beautiful custom of decorating the graves of Confederate soldiers. which inspired the idea of Memorial Day. Though dependent on the Eastern Star order at the time of her death. Mrs. Vaughn came of dis- tinguished ancestry, having been a descendant of John Adams, the sec- ond president of the United States. At the, close of the war Mrs. Vaughn, who was then Miss Adams, and a most patriotic young woman, realizing that something should hbe done in memory of the brave deeds of those who had died for the Lost Cause, undertook the movement which swept the whole nation eventually and which resulted in the founding of Memorial Day both in d the south and in the north. She wrote "The Appeal to the Daughters of the Southland," in which she called on every southern woman to join in the decoration of graves of Confederate soldiers on a gjven day. On April 26, 1865, she led a host of southern women in decorating Con- federate graves in Vicksburg, which custom continued and became gen- eral, and three years later was adopted in the north, May 30 being chosen as Memorial Day. After all the Confederate graves had been decorated at Jackson, Mrs. Vaughn noticed two graves which had no decorations on them, and on being informed that they were graves of Union soldiers, 'she strewed on them a large bunch of roses which she carried. Knowledge of her action so touched the hearts of mothers in the north that she received many letters expressing deep appreciation and admiration of her spirit. It was then that Decoration Day had its in- ception in the north. Miss Adams wedded Judge J. H. Vhughn, of San Francisco. Their property was destroyed by the earth- quake, and the judge dying soon af- terwards she was left without means and came to Washington, where she was cared for by the home of the Eastern Star. A State Health Train. Louisiana's health train is a new wrinkle in state advertising. Louisi- ana has a world of agricultural re- has some mineral resources of- great value, notably her sulphur wells. She has a large timber production. What she needs now is northern capital and energy. She knows that the northerner looks with suspicion on her climate, believing it to be some- how unhealthy. Therefore, she sends the state's chief medical officer, equipped with a special train, up through the doubting north to spread, the good- news of Louisiana's health- fulness. It is a piece of enterprise that de- serves the reward it seeks. And in a broad sense, Louisiana's claim is true. We are not ready to say whether northern men, or white men from anywhere, can work in the fields under a Louisiana sun in sum- mer time with impunity. But when the president of Louisiana's state board of health says that most of the diseases hitherto attributed to climate are preventable, and can be banished with little expense or dif- ficulty, he is telling the truth. Pan- ama and Cuba are two object les- sons which the world is slow to comprehend. But they show that perfect healthfulness can be main- tained in much hotter and moister climates than that of Louisiana. What we would like to know now is that in the smaller cities and country districts of Louisiana the lessons of tropical medicine had been taken to heart and that the good work of ridding the land of malaria and hookworm is well begun-Rocky Mountain (Col.) News. The Calm Before the Storm. There is an unusual and unnatural political calm down in Ascension. What does it mean? What does it presignify? An impending storm? Would'nt surprise us a bit, for when old Ascension does wake up, shake herself and start in, there is generally something doing. There seems to be no lack of candidates, yet things down there are 'tarnal quiet, on the surface, at any rate. Yet with all these good, loyal fel- lows aspiring for office it would naturally appear that there should be some kind of a ripple on the political waters: Charley Maurin for senator; t. J. Chauvin for judge; "Old Sam" Bt. Martin, Ed.

Swelling houses on ,ll sides of it,ne of them within 4:00 feet of thelant. The buildings are constructed 1)f wood and corrupted iron withhe exception of r s, foundationscnd floors, the latte- being of con- i:rete. The reducti1, killing and {:ooling rooms are alb two stories in Iceight, while the eline room, of- I
ice and dressing r dbms are one iLtor'y."If the plant were to be recon-
tructed,"says Mayor^McQuistion.,"we Iwould build the col` storage and I
hill rooms out of' ick or cement Iand would remov r reduction I
,om to a distancey t least fifty
mmediately adjie o the build-ng are stock ph latform scales.nd the necessar n-ways to prop- 1rly facilitate the handling of ani-nals for slaughter. The plant- is iarge enough to take care of about l
ifty head of cattle per day of tenlonrs, but in addition to cattle, hogsad sheep are also slaughtered.
The city does not purchase anynimals or sell any meat; it merelylaughters, under proper sanitaryonditions, the animals that are of-ered by the local butchers or othersho wish to avail themselves of theacilities offered. The use of thelunicipal plant is not made directly
ompulsory, but by ordinance it isrovided that all animals must be
laughtered in some plant which has11 the various sanitary precautionsnd equipment maintained at thelunjcipal plant., As a result, all lo- a
al slaughtering is done at the tunicipal abattoir. t
The killing room is well lightednd perfectly screened. All doorsave vestibules and are double 1creened. The floors are concrete,arefully laid to grade and the en-ire surface troweli finished. Bell iaps are provided at the low pointsid each equipped with a water seal cnd all connected with the city sew- crs. Overhead is a complete systemf steel tracks and traveling trol- 0
ys so laid out as to facilitate in nvery possible way the handling of a11 the animals from the knock down aen out to the inspector's rail and tito the chill room. fJa the killing room are nph scald-
ing vat and thd inspector's tablesupon which the viscera are all laidfor inspection before being removedto the rendering room. Provision isalso made here for catching and con-serving the blood, it being an im-portant ingredient in the productof the reduction plant. The equip-ment of this room also includesknives, scrapers, skewers, hand-hoists and such other implements asare usually found in the ordinaryslaughterhouses.
All animals slaughtered receivefinal inspection and are stamped andtagged while upon the inspector's railin the killing room. They are nextmoved on overhead trolleys into thechill room, which is immediately ad-jacent. here they rtomuin abouttwelve hours at a te'mperature ofpractically 40 degrees F., after whichthe carcasses are removed into therefrigerating room proper, to awaitthe demand of the meat cutter. Thewalls, ccilings and floors of boththe chill and cooler rooms are in-sulated with waterproof Lith boardlaid in cement.
Above both chill room and coolerare bunker rooms or coil lofts forthe direct expansion piping whichtakes up the heat rising from themeat hung on the rails in the roomslbelow. The drip from these pipeswhen frost melts off is caught inpans and trapped out of the building.Dry refrigeration is thus assured,and Mayor McQuistion writes: "Nocarcass ever comes out dark orslimy."

-rated at about'ten tons refrigeratingcapacity per day of twenty-four
- hours.A thorough system of inspection
is maintained by the city, the chieft inspector being a graduate veterin-arian who has had a special courseof instruction under skilled govern-ment inspectors. Two inspectionsare made, first the ante-mortem,second the pest-mortem. The first
,is made in the stock pens, the sec-ond in the killing room, the latterincluding not alone inspection ofthe carcass, but also a careful in-spection of the viscera together withthe lungs and liver. The rules ofinspection are the same as are usedby the United States government in-spectors in tlbe packing houses. Ifanimals are rejected on live inspec-tion the owners are notified and theanimals are at once removed fromthe pens. If the rejection is de-termined upon in the killing roomthe carcass is tanked and the owneris allowed what it is worth in tal-low and tankage. The inspector isthe ranking employe and makes dailyreports to the city secretary, whokeeps the accounts. In addition tothe inspector the regular employes in-clude an engineer, two slaughterers,one driver and one deadstock man.
"It was not the design of ourplant to make money," says themayor, "but it was thought best tomake it' self-sustaining; accordinglyafter two months' experience we de-termined, that we would charge $1.25for each beef, and seventy-five centsfor each calf, hog, sheep or goat.These charges cover the two in-spections, slaughtering, five days'cold storage, and delivery on thehook in the meat cutters' shop. Ifany carcass is left -in the refrigerat-ing rooms longer than five days acharge of ten cents per day is made. 1
'"We have demonstrated to the Isatisfaction of every butchr that wecan hang a carcass on the hook inhis shop cheaper than he can, andfurther that there is no sort oflegitimate comparison between our Isystem and the one he formerly em-ployed.
1 "However practical and beneficialour present plant and system hasproved to be, it is still susceptibleto further development. We expectlater to require the inspection andslaughter of chickens and other fowlssold or offered for sale in the localmarket, to be conducted under oursupervision. We expect also to grindsausage and render lard and tallowat our plant.

"Mother" of Memorial Day PassesAway.
A few days ago there passed intothe eternal life at the home of theEastern Star in Washington, D. C.,Mrs. Sue Landon Vaughn, the patri-otic daughter of the southland whois accredited with the conception ofthe beautiful custom of decoratingthe graves of Confederate soldiers.which inspired the idea of MemorialDay. Though dependent on theEastern Star order at the time ofher death. Mrs. Vaughn came of dis-tinguished ancestry, having been adescendant of John Adams, the sec-ond president of the United States.
At the, close of the war Mrs.Vaughn, who was then Miss Adams,and a most patriotic young woman,realizing that something should hbedone in memory of the brave deedsof those who had died for the LostCause, undertook the movementwhich swept the whole nationeventually and which resulted in thefounding of Memorial Day both in dthe south and in the north. Shewrote "The Appeal to the Daughtersof the Southland," in which shecalled on every southern woman tojoin in the decoration of graves ofConfederate soldiers on a gjven day.On April 26, 1865, she led a host ofsouthern women in decorating Con-federate graves in Vicksburg, whichcustom continued and became gen-eral, and three years later wasadopted in the north, May 30 beingchosen as Memorial Day. After allthe Confederate graves had beendecorated at Jackson, Mrs. Vaughnnoticed two graves which had nodecorations on them, and on beinginformed that they were graves ofUnion soldiers, 'she strewed on thema large bunch of roses which shecarried. Knowledge of her action sotouched the hearts of mothers inthe north that she received manyletters expressing deep appreciationand admiration of her spirit. It wasthen that Decoration Day had its in-ception in the north.
Miss Adams wedded Judge J. H.Vhughn, of San Francisco. Theirproperty was destroyed by the earth-quake, and the judge dying soon af-terwards she was left without meansand came to Washington, where shewas cared for by the home of theEastern Star.
A State Health Train.Louisiana's health train is a new
wrinkle in state advertising. Louisi-ana has a world of agricultural re-
has some mineral resources of- greatvalue, notably her sulphur wells. Shehas a large timber production. Whatshe needs now is northern capitaland energy. She knows that thenortherner looks with suspicion onher climate, believing it to be some-how unhealthy. Therefore, she sendsthe state's chief medical officer,equipped with a special train, upthrough the doubting north to spread,the good- news of Louisiana's health-fulness.
It is a piece of enterprise that de-serves the reward it seeks. Andin a broad sense, Louisiana's claimis true. We are not ready to saywhether northern men, or whitemen from anywhere, can work in thefields under a Louisiana sun in sum-mer time with impunity. But whenthe president of Louisiana's stateboard of health says that most ofthe diseases hitherto attributed toclimate are preventable, and can bebanished with little expense or dif-ficulty, he is telling the truth. Pan-ama and Cuba are two object les-sons which the world is slow tocomprehend. But they show thatperfect healthfulness can be main-
tained in much hotter and moisterclimates than that of Louisiana.What we would like to know now
is that in the smaller cities andcountry districts of Louisiana thelessons of tropical medicine had beentaken to heart and that the good
work of ridding the land of malariaand hookworm is well begun-RockyMountain (Col.) News.
