A Way to Inspect Milk.

Pending the report of the Cor
poration Counsel TO the Commits
sioners, it may be premature to
suggest means of adapting the prac-
tiee of the local Health Office to the
latest decision in the enforcement
of the pure food and drugs act. The
law is what the courts construe IL
to be. A branch Of our District
Police Court has decided that under
its terms the District Health Officer
has not the right to analyze milk
with a view to prosecuting dealers
whose wares fall below the legal
standard, but that such authority
vests in the national Department of
Agriculture.
Nevertheless, it is manifest that
the power TO inspect, test, and ana
lyze milk vests in somebody. A
reading of the law would seem 20
indicate that it had been reposed in
the District Attorney by the section
TO which the Health Officer points
particular attention, reading:
That It shall be the duty of each dis
trict attorney TO whom the Secretary of
Agriculture shall report any violation
of this act or to whom any health or
food or drug officer or agent OF any
,lAte, Territory, or the District Of Co
iumbia shall present satisfactory evil
dence of any such violation, 10 cause
appropriate proceedings to be com
menced and prosecuted in the proper
courts Of the United States without de-
lay for enforcement of the penalty that
is in such case herein provided.
If that means what it says. if it is
not nullified by some other section
of the law or converted into some
thing else by the rules or construc-
ton, it is plain that authority to
prosecute exists and exists within
easy reach of the Commissioners.
