WHOLESALE PROSECUTIONS.

It might be well for Keokuk grocers
and others TO be on their guard
against violations of the state sanitary
and pure food laws. AT Muscatine the
other day Deputy Inspector Mike
Flynn filed informations against thirty
local dealers in foodstuffs, and within
an hour after the prosecution was in
stituted twelve arrests had been
made. Some of the stores and butcher
shops in that city are declared by Mr..
Flynn to be positively filthy, and in a
number of cases it was found that food
was exposed for sale without proper
safeguards against contamination by
dirt and dust. Many bakery shops and
confectioneries are TO be condemned
and closed. Two butchers were OPP
Grating without state license. There
is in Muscatine, according to Mr..
Flynn, a large quantity OF cheap can
dy manufactured in Chicago and con-
demned in Illinois as unfit for sale.
This was sent to merchants in Musca-
tine VINO were offering 1t TO their Gus
toners. On former visits 10 Musca,
tine he sought by persuasion to convert
the local merchants to the opinion that
the sanitary and pure food laws were
made TO be enforced, but fragrant
violations are charged in disregard OF
his kindly advice and friendly warn
ings. Now we are going to shoot! .
