PURE FOOD INSPECTOR
AFTER DISEASED MILK

p. A Methvin, state pure food inspec-
tor, is on the trail of Atlanta milk deal
ers, and those who are dispensing dis
eased milk or milk that is liable to pro-
duce disease will have to answer for
their dereliction against the state laws
of Georgia.
Inspector Methvin is securing about
20 samples each morning of the milk
brought into Atlanta. He has already
collected about 600 specimens. There are
$40 milk dealers licensed to sell their
wares in Atlanta. When each one OF
them has furnished a sample, Inspector
Methvin will turn his attention to other
cities of the state.
All the samples which are being col-
lected are being analysed by the state
chemist. Those which are reported as
violating the Georgia pure food law will
cause the dealers who sell them TO be
summoned before the commissioner of
agriculture for an explanation. IL ths
explanation is not satisfactory, their
cases will be cited for prosecution oy
the state.

Of those who the directors and custo-

| remember full well constant anxiety
concerning the valuable things which were
loaned TO the managers of the Cotton States and

1897.
I was not so intimately CONNECTED with the
Tennessee Centennial or the st. Louis fair, al
though l had sufficient interest and connection
to uderstsd how easy fire might get out, ad
how quickly II could sweep everything into
desOlatiOn and ruin.
The buildings are built so hastily and OF such
nimsy materials. tina: 1t is wonder that the
calamity was put off so long. 1t might have
happened every time, when we consider the
magnitude OF the buildings and the immense
lighting apparatus which was always menace
to the exhibits. II a saving Providence
that all OF the many mammoth affairs did not
go up in smoke, as happened at Brussels on
yesterday.
The loss is incalcuIabIe and the management
will be fortunate to come out without any
mOney-because there has been "black eye
given 10 ell future undertakings Of like char
acter.
In this connection well remember the burn
ing OF the cold storage palace In Chicago

filled with iced goods OF every description

burned also in their Intellectual efforts to save
those who persisted.
Hundreds OF thousands OF dollars were lost,
in the destruction that ensued. This cold stor-
age place held enormous quantities of per-
ishable food stuffs-frult and other choice
things that brought to the fair to be
sold after they exhibited.
IL was an awful sight to see this enormous
structure burn up, within a short hour, and
the doctors with ambulances busy all day and
maybe days afterward, tending the wounded and
badly scorched victims.
The excitement intense, and l could
comprehend with distinctness the great risk
that taken In bringing costly things to
Chicago. and placing them In those himsy
buildings.
/ believe this burning at Brussels will put a
check such mammoth expeditions. These
ventures rarely pay for themselves and the
waste is fearful. when the end comes.
