What is considered by physicians to
oe the best pure food rule and one
that will compel some important
changes in cold storage process in
Kansas has been drawn by the state
board of health. The text of the rule
follows: The sale at retail within the
state of Kansas for human food of any
domestic or wild fowl or game or fish
that has been kept in cold storage
with entrails, crops and other offensive
parts undrawn is prohibited. The ser.
vice for food of any such domestic
or wild fowl or game or fish is also
prohibited. AS soon as the rule can
be printed and the notices sent to the
health officers in every county and
town in the state it will be enforced
to the letter. 1t is expected that thia
work will be done within a week, and
thereafter no undrawn meat will be
sold or served in Kansas.
