BILL PROPOSES FOOD CONTROL

Washington, April 30-The admin
istration's food control legislation
was introduced today in both Houses
Of Congress.
In the House Chairman Lever, Of
the Agricultural Committee, offered
bill to give the Agricultural Depart
ment direct supervision of food pro-
duction and distribution. The pro-
gram was put before the Senate in a
resolution by Senator Gore, chairman
of the Senate Committee.
The measures proposed do not
cover price fixing or control of grain
entering into the manufacture of liz
uors. Both the subjects will be dealt
with in measures to be drawn later
Twenty-Five million dollars are ask
ed for the Agricultural Departments
use in administering the program
The legislation calls for an immediate
survey of the country's food resources
and confers power on the department
to prevent speculation and price man
ipulation. 1t would provide for equit-
able distribution and would suspend
the law prohibiting the mixing of
flour. 1t would establish and en-
force standards of agricultural prod
ucts and farm fertilizers.

BEGINS TODAY
The Sanitary Survey Of the Mason
County Health League Has Its
First Start-GOyernment Man
Here to Take Charge Of
Work.

The Sanitary Survey of the Mason
County Health League will begin to-
day, DR.. W. c. Locke of Washington,
d. c., representing the United States
Public Health Service, having arrived
this morning to take charge of the
work. DR.. A. T. Mccormack of Bowl
ing Green, member of the Kentucky
State Board of Health will arrive on
next Wednesday week to assist in the
work.
The offer of the United States Public
Health Service and the State Board Of
Health several months ago to give
three dollars for every one raised by
the Mason County Health League was
at once accepted by the local organiza-
ton and big drive was started i'm
mediately to raise the necessary 3d.
300 in order to obtain state and fed
eral aid. All but small amount of
the money was raised by the middle of
April and at that time the Health
League thought that 1t would be best
to proceed with the Sanitary Survey.
Mason county is one of the first in
the entire United States to have such
a survey. Many other counties in the
surrounding country are watching Ma
son to see if we are successful with
the survey.
The survey is for the purpose of
learning of all of the unsanitary places
in the county and taking measures to
correct the same. During the past de-
cade great forward movement has
been taken all over the world in sani-
tary measures. Persons have come to
realize that in order to have good
health their premises and the premises
of their neighbors must be kept in the
best Of condition at all times.
Many persons throughout the coun-
ty have already cleaned up their prop
erty in order that the survey company
may find that they have already taken
the necessary measures to correct the
evils existing in places under their
control.
