ANOTHER week
TO FINISH WORK
State Inspectors Say Rock Is
land Diaries Are in Good
Shape-Warn Farmers.

The special representatives Of the
state board of health who have been
working in Rock Island and in the ad-
jacent territory with the city and
county health departments have COM
pleted about one-half of their investi-
cation and it is thought that at least
another week will be required to fin
ish the task. The state inspectors
have been sent to this county to
make an inspection of the diaries and
thus far they have found nothing IN
favorable to report from Rock Island.
Ii is said, however, that the farmers
on the other side of Rock Island need
some instructions in regard to clean
illness and after being paid a visit by
the inspectors they have, in every
instance, agreed to put their diaries in
sanitary condition. Carelessness in
the keeping of milk cans and other re-
ceptacles used for dairy purposes is
said to be the cardinal fault of the
farmers from whom. the greater part
of the milk for the city of Rock Island
is obtained.
