The supper, bazaar and clever
little play "a Gentle Jury" given
at the Club House last Thursday
evening brought the Ladies' Guild

of the evening was the amusing

Chicago Health Department
Sends Inspectors to Keno
sha Co. Dairy Farms
WILL MAKE DAILY REPORTS

The Chicago health department has
sent inspectors into Kenosha county to
inspect dairy farms which daily send
samples of milk into Chicago. 1t is
planned to make systematic inspec
tion Of 10000 dairy farms within a
radius of $50 miles of Chicago from
which that city draws it's milk supply.
Each morning a train leaves Bassetts
picking up cars, Of milk at stations and
south on the main line of the North
western. These cans Of milk are then
taken to Chicago and delivered. In
spections of dairy farms Of Kenosha
county have been made by order of the
health department at different periods.
Inspection work was suspended by the
Chicago health department several
months ago pending the outcome of
milk inspection legislation before the
general assembly at Springfield.
Work was resumed when seventeen
inspectors of the Chicago health depart
under TIE direction of DR.. B. Z. Sher
man, were assigned to the various dis
tricts. Each inspector is supplied with
cards which he will use in making daily
reports of the dairies inspected. These

and cream, will be forwarded to the
city laboratories for examination.
The cows will be subjected to care
full examination to ascertain if they
are in good health. The sheds, barns
and diaries will be examined to deter
mine their sanitary condition. When a
dairy is found to be handling milk from
a diseased animal, or where the sheds,
or barns are found to be in an insani-
tary condition, milk from that dairy
will not be allowed to be sold i'll Chi
