THOSE LAKE
COUNTY DIARIES
ARE FOUND TO BE IN MOST
UNSANITARY CONDITION
INSPECTOR WELD IS
MAKING "A TOUR OF
COUNTIES OF
STATE.

Bert Tucker, a pure food and drug
Inspector, has just completed his ex
animation of the dairies of Lake coun-
ty. Mr. Tucker has written that hs
will include Marshall county on nj.
tour of the northern part of the state
Mr.. Tucker reports his work By
counties. He says that dairy con-
ditions in Lake county have beer
found to be very bad. /. c. Weld
a United States inspector, who ac-
companied Tucker, although he ha.
been inspecting dairies over the coun.
try for several years, declared that he
found more filth in some of the dairie:
in Lake county than he had ever seer
before in establishments of similar
SIZE. Mr. Weld has gone to Evans
vile, where he will make a number
of inspections. 1t is likely that Mr.
Tucker will return to Lake county
for further work.
On one dairy farm near Hammond
the cows were literally covered with
filth, according to the inspectors re-
port After This place had been in
spected Mr. Weld said he had never
before seen such dirty hero AT an
other dairythe water from the milk
house and the filth from the kitchen
were allowed to run into low place
in the yard, and from this depres.
sion the cattle obtained their supply
of drinking water. In another dairy
there was a filthy old well near the
place, where tine milk pans were
placed to dry.
Mr.. Weld advised the people
against the common fallacy that milk
bought from the neighbors is purer
than that which comes from the large
dairies. Some of the worst conditions
were found to prevail around dairies
where there were only two or three
COWS A general meeting of the dairy
men who supply Hammond with milk
was the result of the inspection and
it seemed, according to- Mr.. Tucker
that there was an inclination to make
Improvements. The investigation.
however. is to be continued both
among the small dai:ies and larAc
ones and prosecutions are promised
unless the places are improved.
One dairy near Hammond which
attractei the attention of Mr. Weld
and Nj Tucker is owned and man,
aged ~ 2 man who is the father oil
eleven children 1t seems that great
deal of time is required to take care
of the children. AT any rate, acco-1-
ing to Mr. Tucker, little if any time
has been devoted to cleaning up the
place Pure, unadulterated filth, Mr.
Tucker said, was the chief characterIs-
tic
Mr.. Weld used his camera vigo--
ously and got several views of the
dairy run by the man who has eleven
children.

half west OF this city, until a few
months ago when Mr. Welch dispens-

Many of these towns are of con-

from 5000 to $4,000 people. Most OF
them are situated in the remote re-

FOR SCHOOL
SANITATION
STATE BOARD OF HEALTH
WILL SEE THAT RULES
ARE ENFORCED DUR
ING THE WINTER
PENALTY FOR VI
OLATIONS.

Having made sanitary surveys of
a great number of schoolliouses dur
ing the summer, the State Board OF
Health will follow up the work by
seeing to it that all scFloolhouses are
kept in good condition throughout
the winter. The board believes that
the care over the sanitary features OF
sofhoolhouse should be begun before
school begins and with this idea in
mind DR.. ]. N. Hurry, secretary of
the State Board of Health. is now
sending out to school officials OF the
State rules which have been adopted
by the State board. The Supreme
Court has upheld the law by which
the rules were promulgated. The pen
atty for violation of the rules is a fine
of not more than $780,
There are six of these rules relaf-
ing to the care OF school children az
u.'dings They are simple in Ian
sruage and very much to tie p Pint
the idea of the state board being that
anything cumbersome in the way cf
instructions to school officers should
be avoided. The first rule declares
that it shall be unlawful Tor school
trustees or school boards to crowd
children into schoolrooms in excess
of one child for each 225 cubic feet
of. space The second rule makes it
unlawful for any teacher, school trus,
tee or health officer to permit attend
ance in any school of any pupil af-
fected with a severe cough, severe
cold, itdh, lice or other vermin, or
any contagious skin disease or who is
filthy in body or clothing, or who has
any OF the following diseases: Dip,i-
liberia, smallpox, scarlet fever, whoop-
ing cough, chickenpox and consump-
tion.
Another rule makes it unlawful for
any parent or guardian having charge
of children suffering from any such
diseases to permit such children to
attend school, and also makes it un-
lawful for any school officer to en-
ploy as teacher any person suffer
ing from pulmonary tuberculosis. Still
another rule makes it unlawful for the
teacher to admit children TO school
who come from homes where certain
diseases have prevailed unless the pu-
pill shall present certificate from a
physician stating that danger OF infec-
tion has passed.
The other rules relate to the con-
ditions of school buildings One di-
rects that all school buildings shall be
cleaned and dsinfected before school
begins in the autumn and that ven-
tilation shall be carefully attended, TO.
Where ventilating ducts do not exist
it is suggested that teachers flood
the schoolrooms with fresh air by
o,ening doors and windows at re-
cesses and at noon time. A sanitary
supply OF drinking water also is dis
cussed, and the danger of having~mud-
holes near the we'll is emphasized.
.'It is important that the health of
the children be preserved" said DIR.
Hurty. "The duty of the State is to
see to it that sanitary conditions ex>
ist in all schoolro0ms."

Flight of Birds.

To the average observer OF the
fight of birds everything is deceptive.
To compare the flight of large bird
with smaller one is especially so.
The cormorant Of the sea coar seems
to be slow flyer, yet he does a mile

honey bee seems TO travel like bull

not fly as fast as many slow-fapping

pears to get away.more rapidly than
