I HAVE In mind a family that allowed the mother of the large circle to wear herself out with unceasing work. She worked so long and hard that she Dover had time for considering a rest. The members of her family regarded mother's work as a habit. They ac cepted her working and never thought that she needed relaxation or a change from the monotonous grind ot keeping a home They added to her burdens by bringing others home with tbem. Mother smiled and worked a little harder. Then one day mot tier did not come down to shake the Are and pre pare the breakfast.

PREPARING FOR THE FEAST x-mmmm 1 rr 1H KANSAS GUARDING MEAT Approximately Sixty IVr (Vnt of An iinaN Are now HluugliU'rcd I'n ler FcHlenU InsMt'tlon More than 58,000,000 meat ani mals were slaughtered in establish ments under Federal Inspection dur ing the fiscal year ending June 30, 1916. Since approximately from 68 to 60 per cent of the animals killed In the country are slaughtered In es tablishments where federal inspec-, tion Is maintained, it appears that ! about 100,000.000 meat animals are! now being killed each year in the . United States. Of the animals subjected to Fed- ' eral inspection, 299,958 were con-1 demned as unfit for human use and ! 644,688 were condemned in part. I Thus a little more than 14 per cent of all the animals Inspected were condemned either in whole or In part. These figures Include only cat tle, calves, Bheep, goatB and swine. Tuberculosis was the chief cause of the condemnations. More thun 32, 644 carcasses of cattle and 66,000 carcabRes of BWlne were entirely re jected on account of this disease, and in addition partB of 48,000 cattle and 440,000 swine. Hog cholera was re sponsible for the next largest Iobs, nearly 102,000 swine being condemn ed entirely on thla account. The annual appropriation for the Federal meat-Inspection Bervice is now about 3.375,000. so that tb cost to the people would be between 6 and 6 cents per animal if the serv ice was confined, entirely to the In spection cf the a'nlmals and carcass es. In addition, however, great quantities of the meat and products are reinspected. In this item there was a very considerable increase dur ing the last fiscal year, the relnspec tlon resulting in the condemnation of a total of nearly 19,000.000 pounds of products of one kind or another. Furthermore, 24 5,000,000 pounds of imported meat or meat products were inspected and more than 2,000,000 pounds condemned or refused entry. In the course of its work, the Bur eau of Animal Industry, which Is In charge of the meat-inspection serv ice, has discovered a new method of destroying trichina? In pork, which is an additional safeguard to human health. Refrigeration at a tempera ture of 6 degrees F., or lower, for a period of 20 days, will destroy these parasites which occasionally give rise in human beings to the serious dis ease known as trichinosis. Hitherto, the only known safeguard against this disease has been thorough cook ing of all pork and pork products, and those persons who neglect this precaution have always been more or less exposed to the danger. Unless pork is known to have been subject ed to refrigeration as above Indicat ed, it should be thoroughly cooked. The microscopic examination of pork for the detection of trichina has been abandoned, as the u sual methods have proved inefficient. In this connection it is interesting to note that more swine were slaugh tered in the past year in establish ments under Federal inspection than ever before. A total of 36.247,958 were inspected at the time of slaugh ter, and approximately 35.900,000 passed for food.
