At a meeting of the executive com
mittee of the national association of
state dairy and food departments held
in Chicago recently, reports show that
$4,000 infants died in the United
States last year from the effects of
food poisons. Food commissioners
from different states, health officers
and officers of the national association
are attending the meeting
The claim of the enormous fatality
among infants last year resulting from
impure food is made by ]. N. Hurry,
secretary of the Indiana state board
of health. Mr.. Hurry produces figures
to show that IS per cent Of the total
deaths of infants in America last year
was due to poisons administered in
impure foods and the deadly concoc-
tions placed on the market by fraudu-
lent food manufacturers.
Renewed efforts toward prohibiting
the sale of food products containing

made.
