HAVE RIGHT LABEL Heavy Fine Results From Marking Flesh of Cart-horse as Pie-Beef in English Market. GRIMSBY. England, April 26.

Charles Robinson, who runs a string of local meat mar kets received this Information from the bench of the police court at a cost of $125. Food inspectors prowling around for pre-war bread and historic eggs, happened on Robinson's meat coun tro with Its display of "pie-beef." "What is pie-beef?" asked one of the Inspectors. "Ple-becf," returned the clerk. "Oh, pie-beef is a sort of beef, you know.. It's for making beef-pies. Hence the name, pie-beet. Quite simple." There was no mention of the late lamented cart-horse, so tho inspect ors bought liberally. Borough analysts got busy in their laboratory and revealed the Igno minious fute of a once more or less gallant steed. Thero is no objection to the sale f ox-horse in England, the magis trate said In pronouncing tho fine. But never may horse bo sold as cow, r anything else but horse.
