By Train-Injuries Slight

Obliged to jump into large CALVIN

and then having the tank driven
through the side of a wall by rail-
road train, was the rather unusual
experience of Fred Leslie at the Maine

removed to the Sisters hospital, but

nature to confine him there any length
of time.

FARMERS LAW

Under the Arizona Pure Food
Law, Chapter 90, Special Session OF
1912, Sec. 3 and Sec. 4, Subsec. 6,
it is misdemeaner for any one tC
sell, offer for sale or have in his
possession with intent to sell, anv
article of food consisting in part OF
in whole of filthy, decomposed OF
putrid animal sustance.
Milk may easily become dirty, and
thiscontamination is always detected.
1t is the duty of the State Labora-
tory to bring to prosecution, by the
proper State officials, al! parties
dealing in or producing such milk
and the law affords the Director of
the State Laboratory no discretion
ary powers in the matter.
The Director recognizes the diff
ficulties surrounding the production
of reasonably pure milk, but the
difficulties are no more serious than
those encountered in many other
lines of food production. 1t is his
desire to aid rather than to hinder,
to assist rather than to prosecute.
Further more the State law is a
protection to the farmer, in that it
protects him from the competition
of those who handle their milk and
dairies in an unscrupulous, careless
and dirty manner.

Director, State Laboratory, Uni.
