FEAR JAIL SENTENCE
Milk Inspectors May Make
Trouble for Kenosha
County Milk Producers.
AGENTS GET MANY SAMPLES

AS result of federal investiga ton
made in Chicago, there is a possibility
that Kenosha county milk dealers may
face Jail sentences, if their product
is found to be impure.
Samples of milk have been taken
and there is a strong possibility that
if the milk is found to contain too
many germs, that the producer will
face Jail sentence.
General credence placed in the an
nourcement that the government pure
food experts had begun their actual
attack on the dealers who have been
allowed, uncurbed by any state OF
municipal ordinance, to flood Chicago
with impure and filthy milk spread
terror among dealers and milk handlers
as well as dairy men who have believ-
ed themselves immune heretofore from
punishment.
The report gained circulation rapid
ly, and general "sprucing up" of
the milk supply was being made. The
fear Of the government penalty where
violations of the pure food acts are
discovered frightened violators into
action.
Announcement that 9 per cent of
the cattle of Illinois are tuberculous.
made by State Veterinarian J. w.
Wright, and publication of figures by
the Chicago Department Of Health
showing that 81 per cent Of samples of
milk received and tested in the last
few days were unfit for use have at
tracted much attention throughout the
country.

That new organization, the Chamber

purpose of furnishing to all interested,
including newspaper editors, a survey
of the constructive and progressive

Agriculture, manufacturing, mining,
transportation, distribution an d
finance. Statistics, official and other,
will be given, as well as information
concerning consular and other govern

The periodical, to be called ''The
