State Regulates Farm Slaughter Under Clean Conditions
The State enforces a rule on farmers who butcher for sale in winter, requiring healthy animals and clean handling. Slaughtered carcasses need no pre sale inspection, but filthy conditions risk condemnation and prosecution. The aim is to keep dressed meat uncontaminated until it reaches retailers or customers. Separately, the Pennsylvania Railroad plans sixty locomotives at Altoona shops costing $2 million.

Lebanon's champion eater Cyrus Gingrich feasts in public
At the El Rae Cafe in Lebanon a 24 year old man, Cyrus Gingrich, consumed 42 eggs, butter, bread, slaw, soft drinks, potatoes, ice cream, and even bits of a blown electric bulb in 1 hour 20 minutes before hundreds watched. He declares no one can eat iron steel wood or stone, and critics doubt the feat's danger. A separate note from Penn State Bariana shows the tomato yielding $700 from 1100 plants, planted March 5 and harvested July 30, with the grower calling it early money.
