Clean Cans one Requisite, and the Absence

The Importance of careful system OF
milk inspection is demonstrated by the
recent experience of Springfield and
Somerville, Mass. An epidemic of ty-
phoid fever in each town has been traced
directly to impure milk by the biologist
Of the State Board Of Health In Spring
field about one hundred and fifty cases
occurred twenty-five of which proved
fatal. The infection was traced to a
dairy farm five miles out of town. In
Somerville there were thirty-fve cases,
all among the customers Of one milknan,
whose son, himself i'll with the disease,
was permitted to work at the business,
rinsing the utensils and measuring the
milk from the large vessels into the de-
livery cans.
THE CHRONICLE knows of several par
ties who, when they locate here, for the
summer, invariably visit the diaries of
the milkmen from whom they purchase
milk. In one case the cans were being
properly summed" but as each can was
occupied by cat, another dairy was
selected, where the felines were not so
