GAINING RESULTS
Year of Education Now Gives Way to
Determination to Prosecute Of

INSPECTORS HOLD CONFERENCE
Announced That All Those Found Not
Complying With Provisions of
Law Will Be Arrested.

Twelve state food inspectors and

various squads is George F. Miner,
chief clerk OF the state food depart

Over year ago State Food Commits

fortified him with a law which re-

during the preceding year eggs of the
value of more than $4,000, 900 had been
lost in Illinois alone, owing to per-
sons dealing in them not knowing how
they should be handled. AS a starter,
600,0 900 egg bulletins were printed and
distributed by food inspectors, while
they were engaged in inspecting other
lines of food, among the dealers and
producers of eggs in the state. These
bulletins gave advice relative to the
handling of eggs and contained,
