Mr.. Tucker exhibited two fine wire
screens cut from the bottom of strain
ers Each was covered with verdigris,
while filth plainly filled the apertures.
Both were Of greenish cast suggesting
that the conditions had obtained for a
long time.
Shows Big Hole.
ut is through these" said the inspec-
tor, THAT he has been straining the
milk sold in the city. In one of them,
as can be plainly seen, is hole appar-
entity cut with a knife blade. 1t appears
that since the milk wouldn't run
through rapidly enough he made hole
to expedite it"
Mr. Tucker explained that samples
of milk and water from the Hartman
place as we'll as from other dairies
supplying him milk wholesale would
be sent to state laboratories to be an
RlyZed.
Your local health board" he said,
''has ordered the dairy closed until re-
ports are returned. We are anxious not
to be unfair to Mr.. Hartman and shall
do all we can to help him get his place
In tip-top shape But it would be dan
gerous to permit him to continue sell
ing milk since the evidences all seem
- trt a
source Of this widespread epidemic.'

Trace Other Cases.
Four of the thirty-one cases used
milk from the Ratliff dairy, and the
dairymen supplying the other six
cases are not known. The Ratliff dairy
is not suspected of being infected
and the origin of the disease in the
ten cases not accounted for remains
unexplained.
The city water supply Is up to the
standard, and it is thought that the
ten cases which did not use Hartman
milk must have contracted the disease
in outh.rses or other infected places
At every mousse visited by DR.. Owens
he gave instructions for liberal use
of crude carbolic acid as a disinfect
ant, and strongly emphasized the dan
ger of washing dishes used in the
sickroom with the dishes used by other
members of the family.
"Dairymen have been instructed not
to leave bottles at any house where
there is scarlet fever, diphtheria OF
typhoid fever" DR.. Davis stated today
cit Is easy for the dairymen to com
ply with this order where houses are
carded for scarlet fever or dyphtheria
but it is impossible for them to know
where typhoid exists, for houses are
not carded for this disease. and the
1.milies where there is typhoid dc
not inform the dairymen Of it's pres
ence. Therefore. l especially reques
that wherever there is a case of ty
phoid. or where case is suspected
all milk be received in vessels Other
than bottles"
