The food and drug standards of
Oklahoma are strict, being in es-
sentials the same as those required
by the federal government. Strictly
interstate shipments are of course
matters pertaining to the federal
government. But the manufacture
and sale of products within the state
are the province of the State Board
OF Health. This is a question which
affects the health and will being of
every family in the state every day
! in the year and constant guard is
kept by the Board on the quality of
quality Of such products and the way
in which they are handled.
Inspectors Of the state Board of
Health are constantly travelling over
the state. Eeyery section is visited,
every store is inspected not once
year, but as many times as possi
bic The inspectors take note of the
sanitary conditions in the stores,
whether goods are properly protect
ed from dirt and flies, how garbage
and waste material is disposed of, !
whether the store is clean and sani- |
tary. Whenever it is found that a |
store is not up to the standard re
quired a written report is made to
the State Board of Health In addi-
ton the inspector serves an order
on the proprietor requiring him to
make the Improvements necessary
for health and sanitation. The in.
spector sees that this order is car
ried out.
The law requires that all rooming
houses, hotels. drug stores, groceries.
meat markets and soda fountains
must have a license to operate in
this state. This license is granted
by the State Board Of Health. \
small fee is required. but the pay
ment Of the fee does not necessarily
mean that a license will be granted.
II the State Board of Health is con
yinced that the establishment in
question is not conducted in a sani-
AIRY manner. the license will be re-
used In this manner the law op-
rates as an effective. instrument

In this manner il is possible to as
certain with accuracy whether the
substance in question is up to the
standard of strength and purity re-
quired by the state laws. By means
of such analysis it is also possible to
find out whether the state laws in
regard to the alcoholic contents of
beverages are being violated. In ad.
dtion to the strictly chemical analy-
sis bacteriological examinations of
water, milk and other substances are
also made in order to ascertain
whether they are dangerous to the
health. Through such an analysis for
instance it is easy to determine
whether there is any danger of ty-
phoid fever from the water of a given
locality. In this way it often is pos
sible not only to trace the cause of
infection in given cases. but to pro-
tect the people of the community
against future outbreaks of disease.

fayorably with those Of other states.
As a matter Of fact there are a num-
Der Of older and more thickly popu- I.
lated states which do not do as good
work as Oklahoma in this respect
or course there is room for improve

work is ever perfect, new conditions
are arising. new problems
must be met. To meet these CON
litions in such way as will best con
