VISITATION FROM

Stores, Diaries, Factories and

Mr.. Kinkead Here.
Finds Conditions Generally
Quite Satisfactory.
PRAISE FOR LOCAL OFFICER

After a general Inspection OF gro
eeries, mills, confeeiionaries. diaries
aud seed stores. Mr., W. b. Kinkear,
state pure food Inspector from the
state experiment station, has CON-
pleted his Investigation of the goods
sold. and has sent samples to the sta
ton to be analysed. The work has
been thorough, and every attempt to
sell adulterated goods to the unsus-
pecting public is being watched. At
present the experiment station is max
ing a sweep of the state and the food
Inspectors are taking county By coun.
ty. Not only the stores in the city
are visited. but even the stores of the
are invaded to see that the
pur food laws are observed.
Mr.. Kinkead found that the mer-
chants Of Paducah are standing by the
laws as a majority, but some few are
not labelling goods correctly. How
ever, some of the errors are attribut-
ed to ignorance of the new rulings,
and an explanation was given instead
OF a reprimand. Numerous sugges-
tions were given for improvements,
but no prosecutions will come out of
the Inspection, 1t is thought.
The dairies. said Mr.. Klnkeai.
81 found in fair shape, and although
there are many improvements that
are needed at the present, it would
not be right TO force the dairymen to
go to a heavy expense. Some i'm
proyements VIII have to be made now
and by gradual steps il is hoped to put
the ialries on high plane. DR.. Ed
Farley and J inspected the dairies to-
gether. and the milk here is up to the
average. One dairy in particular is
as fine as any in the state, and an
other dairyman is erecting a modern
barn"
In the groceries he found that the
laws are well observed. Some dealers
had a supply OF old extracts that were
purchased before the law went into
effect. but the trouble was eliminated.
Samples OF seed have been taken
and sent to the experiment station to
see IL the seed are up to the mark.
