The Investigations the report
says, would seem to clearly DEM
onstrate that so far as the ice
cream supply of the city of Wash
ington is concerned there is, bac-
terlally, wide field for its better
ment, beginning with the cream
and milk which enter into its
composition and progressing
steadily through every step of its
manufacture to the final cleansing

employees who dispense this easily
polluted foodstuff. Unfortunate

Threats of nearly every one IN
Washington and to furnish myr-
lad ice cream festivals with the
daintest of frozen delight.
A room is set apart for cleaning
the returned cans, and this depart
ment is one of the most important
and is one of the cleanest. After
thoroughly securing a can, getting
it as clean as brush, hot water and
soap can make it, it has a heavy
stream of live steam injected into
it with tremendous force, after
which the can is placed upside
down on a rack.
Employees Observe Care.
Personal cleanliness is insisted
upon. In order to make this an es-
sential feature of the days regime
two large rooms have been ar
ranged in the building for lockers
and baths. To reach them the en-
ployes have to go out of the build

there being no connection between
these rooms and the factory.
Not the least of the features OF
the plant, but one of the most orig

of ''the Velvet Kind" ice cream.

tories of ice cream in the District
OF Columbia have been visited in
order to determine the sanitary
condition prevailing where this
food product is. manufactured. In
OF per cent of the places the ice
cream is made, in the basement or
cellar. In nearly all cases they
are improperly constructed to
meet the demand of sanitary con-
dltions The ceilings are low and
generally show a gross collection
OF filth and cobwebs on the rough
joints overhead. Occasionally a
ceiling is finished with a metal cell
ing Or plaster, but even when such
improvements are noticed the abb
sence of natural proper light or
ventilation generally makes the
cellar basement in Washington
an unfit place for the manufacture
Or preparation of ice cream. Many
of the buildings are of old-tlne
construction and were not origin
ally designed for the present-day
purposes. With such construc-
ton as they show it is practically
impossible to keep the average
basement or cellar in proper and
fit condition for the handling OF
milk, cream and milk products, no
matter how honest and thorough
may be the attempts OF the ten
ants to do so.

The manager of the factory spoke
of this important subject:

Conclusions From Report.
From a careful study of the
data which have been collected it
is evident the following conclu-
sions may be drawn, the report
says:
That the sanitary conditions OF
many OF the localities where ice
cream is manufactured in the Dis
trict of Columbia are not at all
satisfactory. Radical improve
ments in such localities are ncces-
sary to secure purity and freedom
from contamination. 1t is recog-
nized fact that many cases OF vio-
lent poisoning which arise from
eating cream or ice cream are
due to insanitary conditions sur
rounding the dairy or ice cream
factory, the storage for an inn
proper length of time of these
products, and the contamination
which they suffer by reason of in
sanitary conditions by injection
from pre-existing poisonous bod
les. The development of ptonaine
poisoning in cream and ice cream
is entirely prevented by using a
fresh, sanitary raw product, man
ufacturing it in perfectly clean
surroundings and disposing OF it
within reasonable length OF time
after manufacture.
In concluding the scope of its
Investigations the report says:
".The additional regulations which
would secure for the District Of
Columbia supply OF ice cream
of unobjectionable quality should
look to the restrictions of the ma
terials used to the pure fresh
articles.
by the adoption OF these SAM
tary regulations an ice cream of
standard quality can be offered to
the consumers of the District OF
Columbia, so that any one pur-
chasif ing the article may know def
nitelJ the character Of the mate
rial he is buying, the amount
which he gets, and may be as
sured of the freshness and purity
| of its raw materials and freedom
from infection during process of
manufacture and the time it is
kept in storage.
From reading the foregoing, it
is easily seen how far superior to
the average ice cream plant is the
factory of the Chapin-Sacks Man
ufacturing Company. Every one OF
the bad features mentioned by the
surgeon general is entirely missing
in the model factory. No dirt, no
chance for it !; plenty OF light. venti-
lation assisted by electric devices,
all the raw material inspected; ev-
erything done at least five feet
above ground, and the important
parts, such as mixing, pasteurizing,
etc, done on a second floor which
is as light as plenty OF windows can
make it; germ-proof methods are
used: the chemist on hand always
to see that nothing impure gets in
to the cream, the flavoring or the
sugar; the remarkable cleanliness
OF the employees who are at work
on the product; the absence of any
suggestion of insanitary.. condiz.
tons; the perfect harmony be-
tween departments; all these and
many more go toward making UP.
