Contamination by the excreta of these animals shall not be permitted, nor shall the dogs be allowed to eat the raw viscera of cattle, sheep, swine, or goats. REG. 8. SANITATION. 17 Section 4. Adequate sanitary facilities and accommodations shall be furnished by every official establishment. Of these the following are specifically required: (a) Dressing rooms, toilet rooms, and urinals, sufficient in number, ample in size, conveniently located, properly ventilated, and meeting all requirements as to sanitary construction and equipment. These shall be separate from the rooms and compartments in which meat and products are prepared, stored, or handled. Where both sexes are employed, separate facilities shall be provided. (b) Modern lavatory accommodations, including running hot and cold water, soap, towels, etc. These shall be placed in or near toilet and urinal rooms and also at such other places in the establishment as may be essential to assure cleanliness of all persons handling any meat or product. (c) Properly located facilities for disinfecting and cleansing utensils and hands of all persons handling any meat or product. (d) Cuspidors of such shape as not readily to be upset and of such material as to be readily disinfected. They shall be sufficient in num- ber and accessibly placed in all rooms and places designated by the inspector in charge, and all persons who expectorate shall be required to use them. Section 5. Equipment and utensils used for preparing, processing, and otherwise handling any meat or product shall be of such materials and construction as will make them susceptible of being readily and thoroughly cleaned and such as will insure strict cleanliness in the preparation and handling of all meat and products. Trucks and receptacles used for inedible products shall bear some conspicuous and distinctive mark and shall not be used for handling edible products. Section 6. Rooms, compartments, places, equipment, and utensils used for preparing, storing, or otherwise handling any meat or prod- uct, and all other parts of the establishment, shall be kept clean and sanitary.

No equipment or utensil so tagged shall again be used until made sani- tary. Such tag so placed shall not be removed by anyone other than a bureau employee. REGULATION 9. ANTE-MORTEM INSPECTION. Section 1. Paragraph 1. An ante-mortem examination, and inspec- tion shall be made of all cattle, sheep, swine, and goats about to be slaughtered in an official establishment before their slaughter shall be allowed. Paragraph 2. Such ante-mortem inspection shall be made in pens on the premises of the establishment in which the animals are about to be slaughtered, except as provided in paragraph 3 of this section. Paragraph 3. At each official station where there are public stock- yards , upon approval of the chief of bureau, ante-mortem inspection may be conducted at the scales or in the pens of the yards. Inspec- tion under this paragraph shall be performed only on animals pre- sented for inspection by an official establishment. Except as pro- vided in section 7 of this regulation, every animal marked as a suspect on such inspection shall be slaughtered at an official establishment of the official station at which the inspection was made. If any such animal be not so slaughtered or disposed of in compliance with sec- tion 7 of this regulation, then thereafter no ante-mortem inspection shall be done under this paragraph for the official establishment which presented the animal for inspection, and ante-mortem inspec- tion for that establishment shall be performed only in pens on its premises in accordance with paragraph 2 of this section. Upon the chief of bureau being satisfied at any time that inspection at scales or in pens of public stockyards is being used for speculative or other unfair or unjust purposes by an official establishment or by anyone in whose behalf it presents animals for inspection under this para- graph, then he shall require ante-mortem inspection for that estab- 20 KEG. 9. ANTE-MORTEM INSPECTION. lishment thereafter to be made only in accordance with paragraph 2 of this section. The chief of bureau may at any time withdraw ante-mortem inspection, in whole or in part, from any public stock- yards. Paragraph 4- If an animal marked as a suspect on inspection at public stockyards be not slaughtered by the establishment by which it was presented for inspection, then such animal shall be removed from the place of inspection only under the supervision of a bureau employee, and, until slaughtered in compliance with paragraph 3 of this section or disposed of pursuant to section 7 of this regulation, shall remain under the supervision of a bureau employee. Every animal marked as a suspect on inspection in the pens of an official establishment shall be slaughtered on the premises of that establish- ment unless disposed of pursuant to section 7 of this regulation. Paragraph 5. The withdrawal of ante-mortem inspection from pub- he stockyards, in whole or in part, shall not be a substitute for, but shall be in addition to, any penalty for violating these regulations elsewhere prescribed by these regulations or prescribed by the meat inspection act. Section 2. Paragraph 1. All animals plainly showing on ante- mortem inspection any disease or condition that under these regula- tions would cause condemnation of their carcasses on post-mortem inspection shall be marked "U. S. condemned" and disposed of in accordance with section 8 of this regulation. Paragraph 2. All hogs plainly showing on ante-mortem inspection that they are affected with either hog cholera or swine plague shall be marked "U. S. condemned" and disposed of in accordance with section 8 of this regulation. Paragraph 3. If a hog has a temperature of 106° F. or higher, and is of a lot in which there are symptoms of either hog cholera or swine plague, in case of doubt as to the cause of the high temperature, after being marked for identification, it may be held for a reasonable time, under the supervision of an inspector, for further observation and taking of temperature. Any hog so held shall be reinspected on the clay it is slaughtered. If upon such reinspection, or, when not held for further observation and taking of temperature, then on the original inspection, the hog has a temperature of 106° F. or higher, it shall be condemned and disposed of in accordance with section 8 of this regulation. Paragraph 4- All animals showing on ante-mortem inspection symptoms of rabies, tetanus, milk fever, or railroad sickness shall be marked "TJ. S. condemned" and disposed of in accordance with sec- tion 8 of this regulation. Paragraph 5. Immature animals offered for ante-mortem inspec- tion at any of the places specified in this regulation, and animals REG. 9. ANTE-MORTEM INSPECTION. 21 found dead or in a dying condition on premises of an official establish- ment, shall be marked "XL S. condemned'' and disposed of in accord- ance with section 8 of this regulation. Paragraph 6. All animals which, on ante-mortem inspection, do not plainly show, but are suspected of being affected with, any disease or condition that, under these regulations, may cause condemnation, in whole or in part, on post-mortem inspection, shall be so marked as to retain their identity- as suspects until final post-mortem inspec- tion, when the carcasses shall be marked and disposed of as provided elsewhere in these regulations, or until disposed of in accordance with section 7 of this regulation. Paragraph 7. All seriously crippled animals and animals commonly termed "downers," if not marked "U. S. condemned" under para- graph 1, 2, 3, or 4, shall be marked and treated as suspects in accord- ance wjth paragraph. 6, of this section. Paragraph 8. Animals which are known to have reacted to the tuberculin test and which are to be slaughtered at an official estab- lishment shall be marked and treated as suspects in accordance with paragraph 6 of this section. Section 3. All animals required by these regulations to be treated as suspects, or to be marked as suspects, or to be marked so as to retain their identity as suspects, shall be marked by or under the supervision of a bureau employee "U. S. suspect," or with such other distinctive mark or marks to indicate that they are suspects as the chief of bureau may adopt. No such mark shall be removed except by a bureau employee. Section 4. Paragraph 1. All hogs, even though not themselves marked as suspects, which are of lots one or more of which have been condemned or marked as suspects under section 2 of this regulation for either hog cholera or swine plague, shall, so far as possible, be slaughtered separately and apart from all other animals passed on ante-mortem inspection. Paragraph 2. All animals required to be marked as suspects shall be set apart and, except as hereinafter provided, shall be slaughtered separately from other animals at an official establishment. In order to avoid unnecessary suffering, crippled animals and animals com- monly termed "downers" should be slaughtered without delay. Section 5. In all cases of emergency slaughter, except as provided in section 23 of regulation 11, the animals shall be inspected imme- diately before slaughter, whether theretofore inspected or not. When the necessity for emergency slaughter exists the establishment shall notify the inspector in charge or his assistant so that such inspection may be made. 22 BEG. 9. ANTE-MOBTEM INSPECTION. Section 6. Paragraph 1. When any condition is suspected in which the question of temperature is important, such as hog cholera, swine plague, Texas fever, anthrax, blackleg, pneumonia, or septi- cemia, and in the case of animals commonly termed "downers," the exact temperature shall be taken and recorded. Paragraph 2. If any animal has a temperature indicating a dis- eased condition, in case of doubt as to the cause of the high tempera- ture, after being marked for identification, it may be held for a rea- sonable time,, under the supervision of an inspector, for further observation and taking of temperature, before its final disposal is determined. Section 7. Paragraph 1. The slaughter of an animal which has been marked as a suspect on account of pregnancy or on account of having recently given birth to young, and which has not been exposed to any infectious or contagious disease, is not required. Such animal, together with its young, may be released for breeding or dairy pur- poses, and when. released shall be promptly removed from the stock- yards or premises of the establishment where inspected. At the time the animal is released, and immediately before removal, the suspect mark if detachable shall be detached by a bureau employee, who shall report his action to the inspector in charge. Paragraph 2. Vaccine animals with unhealed lesions of vaccinia, accompanied by fever, which have not been exposed to any other infectious or contagious disease, are not required to be slaughtered and may be disposed of in accordance with paragraph 1 of this section. Section 8. Animals marked "U. S. condemned" shall be killed by the establishment,, if not already dead, and shall not be taken into an establishment to be slaughtered or dressed, nor shall they be conveyed into any department of the establishment used for edible products, but they shall be disposed of and tanked in the manner provided for condemned carcasses in regulation 14. The "U. S. condemned" tag shall not be removed from, but shall remain on, the animal when it goes into the tank. The number of such tag shall be reported to the inspector in charge by the bureau employee who affixed it and also by the bureau employee who supervises the tanking of the animal. REGULATION 10. POST-MORTEM INSPECTION. Section 1. A careful post-mortem examination and inspection shall be made of the carcasses and parts thereof of all cattle, sheep, swine, and goats slaughtered at official establishments. Such inspection and examination shall be made at the time of slaughter, except in cases of emergencies provided for in section 23 of regulation 11. Section 2. The head, tongue, tail, thymus gland, and all viscera, and all parts and blood to be used in the preparation of meat food EEG. 10. POST-MOKTEM INSPECTION. 23 products or medical products, shall be held in such manner as to preserve their identity until after post-mortem examination has been completed, in order that they may be identified hi case of condemna- tion of the carcass. Section 3. Paragraph 1. Each carcass, including all parts and detached organs thereof, in which any lesion of disease or other condition is found that might render the meat or any organ unfit for food purposes, and which for that reason would require a subsequent inspection, shall be retained by the bureau employee at the time of inspection and taken to the place designated for final inspection. The identity of every such retained carcass, part, and detached organ thereof shall be maintained until the final inspection has been com- pleted. Retained carcasses shall not be either washed or trimmed unless authorized by the inspector. Paragraph 2. Such devices and methods as may be approved by the chief of bureau may be used for the temporary identification of retained carcasses, parts, or organs. In all cases the identification shall be further established by affixing "U. S. retained" tags as soon as practicable and before final inspection. These tags shall not be removed except by a bureau employee. Section 4. Each carcass or part which is found on final inspection to be unsound, unhealthful, unwholesome, or otherwise unfit for human food shall be conspicuously marked on the surface tissues thereof by a bureau employee at the time of inspection "U. S. inspected and condemned." Condemned detached organs and parts of such character that they can not be so marked shall be immediately placed in trucks or receptacles which shall be kept plainly marked "U. S. inspected and condemned" hi letters not less than 2 inches high. All condemned carcasses, parts, and organs shall remain in the custody of a bureau employee and shall be tanked as required in these regulations at or before the close of the day on which they are condemned, or be locked in the "U. S. condemned" room or com- partment. Condemned articles shall not be allowed to accumulate Unnecessarily in the condemned room or compartment. Section 5. Paragraph 1. Carcasses and parts passed for steriliza- tion shall be conspicuously marked on the surface tissues thereof by a bureau employee at the time of inspection "Passed for sterilization." All such carcasses and parts shall be sterilized in accordance with regulation 15 and until so sterilized shall remain in the custody of a bureau employee. Paragraph 2. In all cases where carcasses showing localized lesions of disease are passed for food or for sterilization the diseased parts shall be removed before the "U. S. retained" tag is taken from the carcass, and such parts shall be condemned. 24 KEG. 10. POST-MORTEM INSPECTION. Section 6. Carcasses and parts found to be sound, healthful, whole- some, and fit for human food shall be passed and marked as provided in these regulations. Section 7. Hog carcasses found before evisceration to be affected with an infectious or contagious disease, including tuberculosis, shall not be eviscerated at the regular killing bed or bench, but shall be retained and separated from other carcasses and taken to the final inspection room or place and there opened and examined. This requirement, however, may be waived for those slaughter floors where the number of animals slaughtered per hour is small and on which the inspection facilities are such as permit a ready, efficient, and sani- tary performance of the final inspection without such separation. Section 8. Paragraph 1. When a carcass is to be dressed with the skin or hide left on, the skin or hide shall be thoroughly washed and cleaned before evisceration. Paragraph 2. All hair, scurf, and dirt shall be removed from hog carcasses, and the carcasses thoroughly washed and cleaned, before any incision is made for inspection or evisceration. Paragraph 3. Skins and hides from animals condemned for tuber- culosis or any disease communicable to man or other animal may be removed from the establishment, except as provided in section 2 of regulation 11, for tanning or other industrial use; but they shall be removed for these uses only after disinfection as follows: Each skin or hide shall be immersed for not less than five minutes in a 5 per cent solution of liquor cresolis compositus, or a 5 per cent solution of carbolic acid. The process of skinning and dipping shall be conducted entirely in the retaining room, or other specially prepared place approved by the inspector in charge, and under the supervision of a bureau employee. Section 9. The sternum of each carcass shall be split and spread apart at the time of slaughter so as to expose the lungs, heart, liver, and thoracic cavity, in order to allow proper inspection and drainage. Section 10. Carcasses or parts of carcasses shall not be inflated with air. Transferring the caul or other fat from fat to lean carcasses is prohibited. Section 1 1 . When only a portion of a carcass is to be condemned on account of slight bruises, either the bruised portion shall be removed immediately and tanked or the carcass shall be immediately placed in a retaining room and kept until chilled and the bruised portion then removed and tanked. KEG. 11. DISPOSAL OF DISEASED CARCASSES, ETC. 25 REGULATION 11. DISPOSAL OF DISEASED CARCASSES AND PARTS. Section 1. The carcasses or parts of carcasses of all animals slaughtered at an official establishment and found at the time of slaughter or at any subsequent inspection to be affected with any of the diseases or conditions named in other sections of this regula- tion shall be disposed of according to the section of this regulation pertaining to the disease or condition. Owing to the fact that it is impracticable to formulate rules covering every case and to designate at just what stage a process becomes loathsome or a disease noxious, the decision as to the disposal of all carcasses, parts, or organs not specifically covered by these regulations shall be left to the inspector in charge. Section 2. All parts, including hides, hoofs, horns, viscera, intes- tine,! contents, fat, and blood, of animals the carcasses of which show lesions of anthrax, regardless of the extent of the disease, shall be condemned and immediately incinerated or otherwise completely destroyed. The killing bed upon which the animal was slaughtered shall be disinfected with a 1 to 1,000 solution of bichlorid of mercury, and all knives, saws, cleavers, and other instruments which have come in contact with the carcass shall be treated as provided in paragraph 3 of section 7 of regulation 8 before being used upon another carcass. Section 3. Paragraph 1. The following principles are declared for guidance in passing on carcasses affected with tuberculosis: Principle A. No meat should be used for food if it contains tubercle bacilli, or if there is a reasonable possibility that it may contain tubercle bacilli, or if it is impregnated with toxic substance of tuber- culosis or associated septic infections. Principle B. Meat should not be destroyed if the lesions are localized and not numerous, if there is no evidence of distribution of tubercle bacilli through the blood or by other means to the muscles or to parts that may be eaten with the muscles, and if the animal is well nourished and in good condition, since in this case there is no proof, or even reason to suspect, that the flesh is unwholesome. Principle C. Evidences of generalized tuberculosis are to be sought in such distribution and number of tuberculous lesions as can be explained only upon the supposition of the entrance of tubercle bacilli in considerable number into the systemic circulation. Sig- nificant of such generalization is the presence of numerous uniformly distributed tubercles throughout both lungs, also tubercles in the spleen, kidneys, bones, joints, and sexual glands, and in the lymph glands connected with these organs and parts, or in the splenic, renal, prescapular, popliteal, and inguinal glands, when several of these organs and parts are coincidentally affected. 26 REG. 11. DISPOSAL OF DISEASED CARCASSES, ETC. Principle D. Localized tuberculosis is tuberculosis limited to a single or several parts or organs of the body without evidence of recent invasion of numerous bacilli into the systemic circulation. Paragraph 2. The meat of animals affected with tuberculosis shall be disposed of as follows: Bule A. The entire carcass shall be condemned if any of the following conditions occur: (a) When it was observed before the animal was killed that it was suffering with fever. (b) When there is a tuberculous or other cachexia, as shown by anemia and emaciation. (c) When the lesions of tuberculosis are generalized, as shown by their presence not only at the usual seats of primary infection but also in parts of the carcass or in the organs that may be reached by the bacilli of tuberculosis only when they are Carried in the systemic circulation. Tuberculous lesions in any two of the following men- tioned organs are to be accepted as evidence of generalization when they occur in addition to local tuberculous lesions in the digestive or respiratory tracts, including the lymph glands connected there- with: Spleen, kidney, uterus, udder, ovary, testicle, adrenal gland, and brain or spinal cord or their membranes. Numerous tubercles uniformly distributed throughout both lungs also afford evidence of generalization. id) When the lesions of tuberculosis are found in the muscles or intermuscular tissue or bones or joints, or in the body lymph glands as a result of draining the muscles, bones, or joints. (e) When the lesions are extensive in one or both body cavities. (f) When the lesions are multiple, acute, and actively progressive. (Evidence of active progress consists in signs of acute inflammation about the lesions, or liquefaction necrosis, or the presence of young tubercles.) Eule B. An organ or a part of a carcass shall be condemned under any of the following conditions : (a) When it contains lesions of tuberculosis. (&) When the lesion is localized but immediately adjacent to the flesh, as in the case of tuberculosis of the parietal pleura or peri- toneum. In this case not only the membrane or part affected but also the adjacent thoracic or abdominal wall is to be condemned. (c) When it has been contaminated by tuberculous material through contact with the floor or a soiled knife or otherwise. (d) Heads showing lesions of tuberculosis shall be condemned, except that when the heads of hogs are from carcasses passed for food or for sterilization and the lesions are slight, are calcified or encapsulated, and are confined to lymph glands in which not more than two glands are involved, the head may bo passed for steriliza- tion after the diseased tissues have been removed and condemned. EEG. 11. DISPOSAL OF DISEASED CARCASSES, ETC. 2t (e ) An organ shall be condemned when the corresponding lymph gland is tuberculous. Eule C. Carcasses showing lesions of tuberculosis should be passed for food when the lesions are slight, localized, and calcined or encap- sulated, or are limited to a single or several parts or organs of the body (except as noted in Rule A) , and there is no evidence of recent invasion of tubercle bacilli into the systemic circulation. Under this rule carcasses showing such lesions as the following may be passed, after the parts containing the lesions are removed and condemned in accordance with Rule B: (a) In the cervical lymph glands and two groups of visceral lymph glands in a single body cavity, such as the cervical, bronchial, and mediastinal glands, or the cervical, hepatic, and mesenteric glands. (b) In the cervical lymph glands and one group of visceral lymph glands and one organ in a single body cavity, such as the cervical and bronchial glands and the lungs, or the cervical and hepatic glands and the liver. (c) In two groups of visceral lymph glands and one organ in a single body cavity, such as the bronchial and mediastinal glands and the lungs, or the hepatic and mesenteric glands and the liver. id) In two groups of visceral lymph glands in the thoracic cavity and one group in the abdominal cavity, or in one group of visceral lymph glands in the thoracic cavity and two groups in the abdominal cavity, such as the bronchial, mediastinal, and hepatic glands, or the bronchial, hepatic, and mesenteric glands. (e) In the cervical lymph glands and one group of visceral lymph glands in each body cavity, such as the cervical, bronchial, and hepatic glands. (/) In the cervical lymph glands and one group of visceral lymph glands in each body cavity, together with the liver when the latter contains but few localized foci. In this class of carcasses, which will be chiefly those of hogs, the lesions of the liver are considered to be primary, as the disease is practically always of alimentary origin. Knle D. Carcasses which reveal lesions more severe or more numerous than those described for carcasses to be passed (Rule C), but not so severe nor so numerous as the lesions described for car- casses to be condemned (Rule A), may be rendered into lard or tallow or otherwise sterilized in accordance with regulation 15, if the distribution of the lesions is such that all parts containing tuber- culous lesions can be removed. Section 4. Paragraph 1. The carcasses of all hogs marked as sus- pects on ante-mortem inspection shall be given careful post-mortem inspection, and if it appears that they are affected with either acute hog cholera or swine plague, they shall be condemned. 28 REG. 11. DISPOSAL OF DISEASED CARCASSES, ETC. Paragraph 2. Carcasses of hogs which show acute and characteristic lesions of either hog cholera or swine plague in any organ or tissue, other than the kidneys or lymph glands, shall be condemned. Inas- much as lesions resembling lesions of hog cholera or swine plague occur in the kidneys and lymph glands of hogs not affected with either hog cholera or swine plague, carcasses of hogs in the kidneys or lymph glands of which appear any lesions resembling lesions of either hog cholera or swine plague shall be carefully further inspected for cor- roborative lesions. On such further inspection — (a) If the carcass shows such lesions in the kidneys or in the lymph glands or in both, accompanied by characteristic lesions in some other organ or tissue, then all lesions shall be regarded as those of hog cholera or swine plague, and the carcass shall be condemned. (b) If the carcass shows in any organ or tissue, other than the kidneys or lymph glands, lesions of either hog cholera or swine plague, which are slight and limited in extent, it shall be passed for sterili- zation in accordance with regulation 15. • (c) If the carcass shows no indication of either hog cholera or swine plague in any organ or tissue other than the kidneys or lymph glands, it shall be passed for food, unless some other provision of these regulations requires a different disposal. Section 5. Paragraph 1. Carcasses of animals showing generalized actinomycosis shall be condemned. Paragraph 2. Carcasses of animals in a well-nourished condition showing uncomplicated localized actinomycotic lesions may be passed after the infected organs or parts have been removed and condemned, except as provided in paragraph 3 of this section. Paragraph 3. Heads affected with actinomycosis (lumpy jaw), including the tongue, shall be condemned, except that when the dis- ease of the jaw is slight, strictly localized, and without suppuration, fistulous tracts, or lymph-gland involvement, the tongue, if free from disease, may be passed. Section 6. Carcasses of animals affected with, or showing lesions of, any of the following named diseases or conditions shall be con- demned : (a) Blackleg. (6) Hemorrhagic septicemia. (c) Pyemia. (d) Septicemia. (e) Texas fever. (J) Malignant epizootic catarrh. (g) Unhealed vaccine lesions. (h) Parasitic ictero-hematuria in sheep. BEG. 11. DISPOSAL OF DISEASED CARCASSES; ETC. 29 Section 7. Any individual organ or part of a carcass affected with carcinoma or sarcoma shall be condemned. In case the carcinoma or sarcoma involves any internal organ to a marked extent, or affects the muscles, skeleton, or body lymph glands, even primarily, the- carcass shall be condemned. In case of metastasis to any other organ or part of a carcass, or if metastasis has not occurred but there are present secondary changes in the muscles (serous infiltration, nabbiness, or the like), the carcass shall be condemned. Section 8. Carcasses of animals showing any disease such as gen- eralized melanosis, pseudo-leukemia, and the like, which affects the system of the animal, shall be condemned. Section 9. All slight, well limited abrasions on the tongue and inner surface of the lips and mouth, when without lymph-gland involvement, shall be carefully excised, leaving only sound, normal tissue, which may be passed. Any organ or part of a carcass which is badly bruised or which is affected by a tumor, an abscess, or a suppu- rating sore, shall be condemned; and when the lesions are of such character or extent as to affect the whole carcass, the whole carcass shall be condemned. Parts of carcasses which are contaminated by pus shall be condemned. Section 10. All carcasses of animals so infected that consumption of the meat or meat food products thereof may give rise to meat poisoning shall be condemned. This includes all carcasses showing signs of either — ; (a) Acute inflammation of the lungs, pleura, pericardium, perito- neum, or meninges. (b) Septicemia or pyemia, whether puerperal, traumatic, or without any evident cause. (c) Gangrenous or severe hemorrhagic enteritis or gastritis. (d) Acute diffuse metritis or mammitis. (e) Polyarthritis. (J) Phlebitis of the umbilical veins. (g) Traumatic pericarditis. (7i) Any acute inflammation, abscess, or suppurating sore, if asso- ciated with acute nephritis, fatty and degenerated liver, swollen soft spleen, marked. pulmonary hyperemia, general swelling of lymph glands, or diffuse redness of the skin, either singly or in combination. Immediately after the slaughter of any animal so diseased, the premises and implements used shall be thoroughly disinfected as prescribed elsewhere in these regulations. The part of any car- cass coming into contact with the carcass or any part of the car- cass of any animal covered by this section, other than those affected with the diseases mentioned in (a) above, or with the place where such diseased animal was slaughtered, or with the implements SO BEG, 11. DISPOSAL OF DISEASED CARCASSES, ETC. used in the slaughter thereof, before thorough disinfection of such place and implements has been accomplished, or with any other contaminated object, shall be condemned. In case the contaminated part is not removed from the carcass within two hours after such contact the whole carcass shall be condemned. Section 11. From the standpoint of meat inspection, necrobacillo- sis (lip-and-leg ulceration) may be regarded as a local affection at the beginning, and carcasses in which the lesions are so localized may be passed for food if in a good state of nutrition, after removing and condemning those portions affected with necrotic lesions. On the other hand, when emaciation, cloudy swelling of the glandular organs, or enlargement and discoloration of the lymph glands are associated with the affection, it is evident that the disease has progressed beyond the condition of localization to a state of toxemia, and the entire carcass should therefore be condemned as both innutritious and noxious. Septicemia or pyemia may intervene as a complication of the local necrosis, and when present the carcass shall be condemned in accordance with section 6 (c, d) of this regulation. Section 12. When extensive lesions of caseous lymphadenitis, with or without pleuritic adhesions, are found in the lungs, or if several of the visceral organs contain caseous nodules and the carcass is emaciated, the carcass shall be condemned. When the lesions of caseous lymphadenitis are limited to the superficial glands or to a few nodules in an organ, involving also the adjacent lymph glands, and the carcass is well nourished, the meat may be passed after the affected parts are removed and condemned. Section 13. Carcasses showing any degree of icterus with a paren- chymatous degeneration of organs, the result of infection or intoxica- tion, and tkose which show an intense yellow or greenish yellow dis- coloration without evidence of infection or intoxication, shall be con- demned. Carcasses affected with icterus, the result of conditions other than those before stated in this section, but which lose such discoloration on chilling, shall be passed for food, while those which do not so lose such discoloration may be passed for sterilization. No carcass affected with icterus may be passed for food or for steriliza- tion unless the final inspection thereof is completed under natural light. Section 14. Carcasses which give off the odor of urine or a sexual odor shall be condemned. When the final inspection of such car- casses is deferred until they have been chilled, the disposal shall be determined by the heating test. Section 15. Paragraph 1. Carcasses of animals affected with mange or scab in advanced stages, or showing emaciation or extension of the REG. 11. DISPOSAL OF DISEASED CABCASSES, ETC. 31 mflammation to the flesh, shall be condemned. When the disease is slight, the carcass may be passed. Paragraph 2. Carcasses of hogs affected with urticaria (diamond skin disease), Tinea tonsurans, Demodexfolliculorum, or erythema may be passed after detaching the affected skin, if the carcass is otherwise fit for food. Section 16. Paragraph 1. Carcasses of cattle (including the vis- cera) infested with tapeworm cysts known as Cysiicercus hovis shall be condemned if the infestation is excessive or if the meat is watery or discolored. Carcasses shall be considered excessively infested if incisions in various parts of the musculature expose on most of the cut surfaces two or more cysts within an area the size of the palm of the hand. Paragraph 2. Carcasses of cattle showing a slight infestation, that is, not to exceed ten cysts, as determined by a careful examination of the heart, muscles of mastication, tongue, diaphragm and its pillars, and of portions of the carcass rendered visible by the proc- ess of dressing, may be passed for food after removal and condem- nation of the cysts, with the surrounding tissues, provided the car- casses and parts, appropriately identified by retained tags, are held in cold storage or pickle for not less than twenty-one days under conditions which will insure proper preservation; and provided, further, that if the temperature at which, such carcasses and parts are held in cold storage does not exceed 15° F., the period of reten- tion may be reduced to six days. Carcasses which show no cysts except in the heart may be passed for food after retention in cold storage or pickle as above provided, irrespective of the number of cysts in the heart. Paragraph 3. Carcasses of cattle showing a moderate infestation, that is, a greater number of cysts than mentioned in paragraph 2, but which are not so extensively infested as indicated in paragraph 1, of this section, may be passed for sterilization. In case such car- casses are not sterilized as required by regulation 15, they shall be condemned. Paragraph 4- Fats of carcasses passed for food or for sterilization under the provisions of paragraphs 2 and 3 may be passed for food provided they are melted at a temperature of not less than 140° F. The edible viscera, except the lungs and heart, of carcasses passed for food or for sterilization under the provisions of paragraphs 2 and 3 may be passed for food without refrigeration or other process of sterilization provided they are found to be free from infestation upon final inspection. The intestines, weasands, and bladders from beef carcasses affected with Cysticercus hovis which haA'e been passed for food or for sterilization may be used for casings after they have been 32 KEG. 11. DISPOSAL OF DISEASED CARCASSES, ETC. subjected to the usual methods of preparation and may be passed for such purpose upon completion of the final inspection. Paragraph 5. The inspection for Cysticercus bovis may be omitted in the case of calves under six weeks old. The routine inspection of calves over six weeks old for Cysticercus hovis may be limited to a careful examination of the surface of the heart and such surfaces of the body musculature as are rendered visible by the process of dressing. Section 17. Carcasses of hogs affected with tapeworm cysts (Cysti- cercus cellulosse) may be passed for sterilization, but if the infestation is excessive the carcass shall be condemned. Section 18. Paragraph 1. In the disposal of carcasses, edible organs, and parts of carcasses showing evidence of- infestation with parasites not transmissible to man, the following general rules shall govern: If the lesions are localized in such a manner and are of such a char- acter that the parasites and the lesions caused by them may be radically removed, the nonaffected portion of the carcass, organ, or part of the carcass may be passed for food after the removal and condemnation of the affected portions. If an organ or a part of a carcass shows numerous lesions caused by parasites, or if the char- acter of the infestation is such that complete extirpation of the parasites and lesions is difficult and uncertainly accomplished, or if the parasitic infestation or invasion renders the organ or part in any way unfit for food, the affected organ or part shall be condemned. If parasites . are found to be distributed in a carcass in such a man- ner or to be of such a character that their removal and the removal of the lesions caused by them are impracticable, no part of the carcass shall be passed for food. If the infestation is excessive the carcass shall be condemned. If the infestation is moderate the car- cass may be passed for sterilization, but in case such carcass is not sterilized as required by regulation 15 it shall be condemned. Paragraph 2. In the case of sheep carcasses affected with tape- worm cysts located in the muscles (Cysticercus ovis, so-called sheep measles, not transmissible to man) the carcass may be passed after the removal and condemnation of the affected portions; provided, however, that if upon the final inspection of sheep carcasses retained on account of measles the total number of cysts found embedded in muscle or in immediate relation with muscular tissue, including the heart, exceeds five, this shall be taken to indicate that the cysts are so generally distributed and so numerous that their removal would be impracticable, and the entire carcass shall be condemned or passed for sterilization, according to the degree of infestation. If not to exceed five cysts are found upon final inspection, the carcass may be passed after the removal and condemnation of the affected portions. EEG. 11. DISPOSAL OF DISEASED CARCASSES; ETC. 33 Paragraph 3. Carcasses of animals found infested with gid bladder worms (Camurus cerebralis, Multiceps multiceps) may be passed after condemnation of the affected organ (brain or spinal cord) . Paragraph 4- Organs or parts of carcasses infested with hydatid cysts (Echinococcus) shall be condemned. Paragraph 5. Livers infested with flukes shall be condemned. Section 19. Carcasses of animals too emaciated or anemic to pro- duce wholesome meat, and carcasses which show a slimy degeneration of the fat or a serous infiltration of the muscles, shall be condemned. Section 20. Carcasses of animals in advanced stages of pregnancy (showing signs of parturition), also carcasses of animals which have within ten days given birth to young and in which there is no evidence of septic infection, may be passed for sterilization; otherwise, they shall be condemned. Section 21. Paragraph 1. Carcasses of calves, pigs, kids, and lambs too immature to produce wholesome meat shall be condemned. Such carcasses shall be considered too immature to produce wholesome meat if (a) the meat has the appearance of being water-soaked, is loose, flabby, tears easily, and can be perforated with the fingers; or (b) its color is grayish red; or (c) good muscular development as a whole is lacking, especially noticeable on the upper shank of the leg, where small amounts of serous infiltrates or small edematous patches are sometimes present between the muscles; or (d) the tissue which later develops as the fat capsule of the kidneys is edematous, dirty yellow or grayish red, tough, and intermixed with islands of fat. Paragraph 2. All unborn and stillborn animals shall be condemned. Paragraph 3. Meat and organs such as lungs and livers which have been condemned on account of parasitic infestation or invasion, and the flesh of immature and unborn animals and of animals which have been condemned on account of emaciation and recent parturition, may be utilized at official establishments in the manufacture of poultry feed, provided that such organs or tissues are sterilized by thorough cooking, steam rendering, or desiccation under high tem- perature. If so utilized, such organs and tissues shall be handled and prepared in rooms or places separate and apart from those in which edible products are handled, prepared, or stored. Section 22. Hogs which have entered the scalding vat alive or which have been suffocated in any way shall be condemned. Section 23. When it is necessary for humane reasons to slaughter an injured animal at night or on Sunday or a holiday when the inspector can not be obtained, the carcass and all parts shall be kept for inspection, with the head and all viscera except the stomach, bladder, and intestines held by the natural attachments. If all parts 49608°— 14 3 34 REG. 12, 13. UNINSPECTED CARCASSES: TANK ROOMS, ETC. are not so kept for inspection, the carcass shall be condemned. If on inspection of a carcass slaughtered in the absence of an inspector any lesion or condition is found indicating that the animal was sick or diseased, the carcass shall be condemned.

No meat or product, and no container thereof, shall be labeled with any false or deceptive name ; but estab- lished trade names which are usual to such articles and are not false or deceptive and which have been approved by the Secretary of Agriculture may be used. Paragraph 2. No statement, word, picture, design, or device which conveys any false impression or gives any false indication of origin or quality shall appear on any label. For example: (a) The picture of any swine shall be allowed only on labels used in connection with pork products. (jb) Such terms as "special," "fancy," "selected," "best," "finest," "absolutely pure," "100 per cent pure," and the like, without qualifi- cation, shall be allowed on labels only in connection with products the quality of which justifies the use of such terms. (c) Names of countries, States, and Territories, and such other geographical names as the department may approve, may be used on labels only when followed by the word "style," "type," "cut," or "brand," in the same size and style of lettering as the geograph- ical name, unless the products for which the labels are intended 44 REG. 17. LABELING. are prepared in the localities named; provided that when a geo- graphical name by reason of long usage is recognized as a generic term, indicating a certain style, type, or brand, such name may be used without the words " style," "type," or "brand," when accom- panied by a statement showing the State or Territory in which the product is prepared, if prepared in a State or Territory, and show- ing the locality in which the product is prepared, if not prepared in a State, or Territory. For example, sausage of the kind commonly known as Vienna sausage may be labeled either "Vienna style sausage" or "Vienna sausage, made in Illinois." In the latter case the words showing the place of manufacture need not be in the same size and style of lettering as the name of the product, but shall be plain and conspicuous. (d) Names indicative or imitative of distinctive types or breeds of live stock shall not be used on labels unless the products for which such labels are intended are actually derived from carcasses of ani- mals of the type or breed specified. (e) The word "ham, " without any prefix indicating the species of animal from which derived, shall be used on labels only in connection with pork hams. (/) The word "fresh" shall not be used on labels in connection with any meat or product the ingredients of which, in whole or in part, have undergone any process of curing. (g) Such terms as "meat extract" or "extract of beef," without qualification, shall not be permitted on labels in connection with products prepared from organs or parts of the carcass other than fresh flesh. Extracts prepared entirely from parts of the carcass other than fresh flesh shall not be labeled "meat extract," but may be properly labeled with the true names of the parts from which pre- pared, as, for example, "liver extract." The terms "beef extract" and "extract of beef" without qualification shall be applied only to extracts of fresh beef. Extract of cured beef or of other cured meat shall be designated respectively as "extract of cured beef," "extract of cured meat" or "cured-meat extract." In the latter case the words "cured" and "meat" shall appear on one line in the same size and style of lettering and shall be connected by a hyphen. When beef extract or meat extract is mixed with extract from cured meat or extract derived from the other parts of the carcass, such mixture shall be designated as "compound meat extract," and, in addition, there shall appear on the label a statement showing the ingredients, other than fresh flesh, which have been used in preparing the extract. In the case of fluid extract the word "fluid " shall also appear on the label, as, for example, "fluid extract of beef." The word "fluid" merely indicates a lower percentage of solid matter. Qi) Such terms as "country," "farm," and the like, shall not be used on labels in connection with meat and products unless such meat BEG. 17. LABELING. 45 and products are actually prepared in the country or on the farm. However, if the articles are prepared in the same way as in the coun- try or on the farm, these terms, if qualified by the word "style" in the same size and style of lettering, may be used. Sausage contain- ing cereal shall not be labeled "country style," and lard not rendered in an open kettle shall not be designated as "country style." (i) The word "leaf" shall not be used in connection with lard pre- pared from fat other than leaf fat. Section 8. A meat food product when composed of more than one ingredient . shall not bear a label with a name stating or in- dicating that the product is a substance which is not the principal ingredient contained therein, even though such name be an estab- lished trade name. The term "principal ingredient," as used in this section, shall be construed to mean that such ingredient is equal to or exceeds in amount the other ingredients combined, exclusive of cereal and water. If the ingredients are stated on the label, they shall appear in the order of their percentages. For example, sausage containing pork and beef shall not be labeled "pork sausage," but shall be labeled "pork and beef sausage." However, if the pork in- gredient equals or exceeds 50 per cent of the meat content, the sau- sage may be labeled "pork sausage, beef added." A product con- sisting of veal, pork, and beef shall not be labeled "veal loaf," but may be designated as "veal, pork, and beef loaf." However, if the veal ingredient is not less than 50 per cent of the meat content of the product, the product may be labeled "veal loaf, pork and beef added," the words "pork" and "beef" to appear in the order of their percent- ages, as above indicated. Section 9. Paragraph 1. When a meat food product contains an added substance or substances, the label shall show the added sub- stance or substances except as provided in the succeeding paragraphs of this section. Paragraph 2- When cereal is added to sausage within the limit prescribed by paragraph 4 of section 6 of regulation 18, there shall appear on the label in a prominent manner, contiguous to the name of the product, the statement "cereal added." When water in excess of 3 per cent and cereal are added to certain kinds of sausage as permitted by paragraph 5 of section 6 of regulation 18, the same shall be labeled "sausage, water, and cereal;" but when no cereal is added, the addition of water need not be stated. Paragraph 3. When cereal is added to any meat food product other than sausage in quantities not exceeding 5 per cent, the statement "cereal added" shall appear on the label in a conspicuous manner contiguous to the name of the product, and if any such product con- tains cereal in quantities exceeding 5 per cent, then "cereal" shall 46 REG. 17. LABELING. appear as a part of the name of the product in uniform size and style of letters, for example, "potted meat and cereal:" Provided, however, That, products such as meat loaves, pates, soups, tripe with onion sauce, Irish stew, stewed kidneys, hash, chile con carne, tamales, boiled dinners, chop suey, scrapple, and the like, may contain cereal and similar substances without the presence of such substances being indicated on the labels. Paragraph Jj.. When edible parts of the head or viscera, or other similar edible parts, are added to any meat or product bearing a spe- cific name, such as "meat," "beef," "pork," "veal," and the like, there shall appear on the label, in a prominent manner and contigu- ous to the name of the product, the statement "meat products added, " provided such parts are not in excess of 20 per cent. If this percentage is exceeded, the words "and meat products" must appear as a part of the name of the product and in the same size and style of lettering. The percentage of such parts added to any meat or product shall be based on the weight of the meat ingredient of the product exclusive of ' added substances. When a potted, deviled, or similar article of food is prepared exclusively from the above mentioned parts, the product shall be labeled "potted meat products," "deviled meat products," and the like. Paragraph 5. Lard may have added thereto not to exceed 10 per cent of lard stearin without the presence of added stearin being shown on the label. When more than 10 per cent of lard stearin is added to lard, there shall appear on the label, contiguous to and in the same size and style of lettering as the name of the product, the statement "lard stearin added." Paragraph 6. When not over 20 per cent of oleo stearin, beef fat, or mutton fat are added to lard, there shall appear on the label, con- tiguous to and in the same size and style of lettering as the name of the product, the statement "oleo stearin added," "beef fat added," or "mutton fat added," respectively, as the case may be. Paragraph 7. Mixtures, of which the lard ingredient equals or exceeds in amount the other ingredients combined, may be labeled "lard compound," provided all the ingredients in the mixture are stated on the label in a prominent manner in the order of their per- centages and preceded by the statement "composed of," or "made from," or an equivalent statement. Paragraph 8. Labels for mixtures, other than oleomargarin, con- sisting of fat derived from carcasses of cattle, sheep, swine, or goats and any vegetable oil, shall bear the names of the ingredients in a prominent manner, in the order of their percentages, preceded by the statement "composed of," or "made from," or an equivalent statement. Tierces and barrels containing "compound," or "lard EEG. 17.

Section 10. Paragraph 1. When the weight of any meat or product, prepared at an official establishment, or imported, prior to September 3, 1914, appears upon a label or container, it shall be the correct weight, and the words "net," "gross," "not less than," or a similar statement shall appear in direct connection therewith. Paragraph 2. All meat and products in package form, prepared at official establishments, or imported, on or after September 3, 1914, shall have the quantity of the contents thereof plainly and con- spicuously marked on the outside of the package in terms of weight, measure, or numerical count: Provided, That such reasonable varia- tions and tolerances and also exemptions as to small packages shall be permitted as shall be established by rules and regulations made pursuant to the food and drugs act.
