MILK MEN ARE
VICTIMS Of AN
ADVERSE FATE

Sears Bros. milkmen, are In a most un-
fortunate plight Although the conditions
on their farm have been found 20 be ad-
mirable In respect TO sanitation and an
analysis of their milk has been shown IL
10 be far above the legal requirements,
pure and rich. the fact that several of
their customers al South Providence are
sick has caused apprehension among them
and others.
Some OF the persons who are III are
said 10 have typhoid fever; but there ap-
pears to be no present reason whatever
TO believe that the milk or the milkmen
themselves are In any way responsible
for the illness.
The only theory that seems reasonable
is that one OF their customers. who be-
came Ill on July I. contracted the fever
from other sources. and that the germs
were conveyed to others in the neigh
borhood.
DIR. Eugene +. King. deputy superinten-
dent OF health. visited Mr.. Sears farm
In Cranston last evening and again this
morning. and found everything I'm excel
lent condition
Samples of the milk have also been
examined by Inspector Of Milk Walter O.
scott, and were found TO be far above
the average and I'm every way wholesome.
Or. King Informed the milkmen this
noon that they should continue bust
ness. but suggested Nat extra precau-
tions be taken in serilizing cans and
bottles and In providing new shoppers
for cans.
The Sears brothers get portion OF
their milk supply from two other
farmers; and reports from them this
noon stated that there was no trouble
on either OF them.
The Sears brothers have been in bus
mess but comparatively short time.
but have large number OF customers
at South Providence and have an ex-
cellent regulations; and one OF their
customers stated today that he would
continue to use their milk despite the
sickness among other customers. as II
was the best he ever had ever obtained
In this city and he knew the extreme
conscientiusness and care with which
their business is conducted.
Inspector Scott has informed DIR.
King that there was no milk brought
into the city, which exceeded the
Sears milk i'm purity. There was always
a surprisingly low percentage OF bac-
teria and there never had been found
water, preservatives or artificial color
ing I'm any taken from the wagon or
from houses where the supply was left.
The Investigators found that the cans
were scrupulously cared for. while the
bottles were scalded and washed with
the city water. There was no fever on
ployes was known to have been ex-
posed
IL may be that the present illness
originated in the use OF a glass jar.
which had been handled by some per-
son who was attending typhoid fever
patient. and in this way the germs
were spread.
