PROPOSED HEALTH LAWS

Bills having TO do with two inl-
portant subjects which he has had
under consideration for some time
have been prepared by DR.. A. X. Lewis,
State Health Commissioner, for pre-
sentation to the Legislature.
One would make it mandatory for
cooks and walters in restaurants or
any public eating house to have a
certificate from reputable physician
or a county or city health officer,
who is a doctor, showing that they
are free from any infections or con-
tagious disease. These persons must
be subjected to physical examination
every three months.
The employer of such persons must
also know that an applicant for a
place in his establishment possesses
such certificate. Penalty for viola
tion of this provision of the proposed
law is directed to both. The pro-
posed law provides that such examina-
ton may be free if the person is not
able to pay for it, and this can be
obtained from the county or city health
officer. 1t is explained by DR.. Lewis
that treatment for the diseases he
mentions may be had of the free clinic
already established in Oklahoma City
Such precautions should be taken for
the protection of the public, it is stat

q steady growth, q growth which the
department specialists in insurance
attribute ITO the need for such insur-
ance on the part Of farmers rather
than to any general success on the part

Department specialists urge that
farmers who may be contemplating
the organization, either Of . mutual or
Of joint-stock company to handle
hail insurance, take into consideration
the danger Of operating in q limited
territory, where . single storm may
in an hour cause losses that cannot
possibly be met in full. General ex-
perience has been, it is pointed out,
that whenever it has been necessary
to prorate losses the membership Of
mutuals has fallen off in the year fol-
lowing such action. The management
Of the company is almost invariably
blamed for failure to settle in full,
regardless Of the facts in the case.
Many companies have failed to survive
the prorating of losses even when
managed by men whose integrity was
unquestioned among those who knew
them personally.
Five states, North and South Dako-
Ia, Montana, Nebraska, and Oklahoma,
now have state hail insurance. In
most instances premiums on state hail
insurance are collected very much as
are taxes. The premiums are gener-
ally scaled according to the prevalence
Of hail in the different districts COW
cred.
The hail insurance law Of Oklahoma
seems to have been a failure not be-
cause Of any inherent defects in the
law itself but because the farmers of
Oklahoma have failed to take advan.
tage Of its provisions, and will pro.
baby be imperative next year.

that cans lacking the label should not
ne regarded as necessarily inferior, as
they may have been packed before the
use of the certificates began, or they
may be put out by a company that
does not make use of the inspection
service
All this effort on the part of the can
ners to make canned goods absolutely
safe for the public is very reassuring.
The recent attacks of botulflus poison
ing, traced to the eating of ripe olives,
nave caused the public to entertain a
cautious attitude toward canned foods
in general. Most of us consume some
canned food every day, and 1t is COM
forting to be. told that the canning in
dustry is being put on a safer basis
than ever before.
In fairness to the Gamers it should
be remembered that the recent cases
of botulism were due not to canned
food, but to bottled product. A can
ned product--as distinguished from one
that is preserved or bottled-is hermet-
icaliy sealed and sterilized. The heat
ing kills germs of decomposition. and
sealing excludes the air which is al
ways full of these germs. The heat to
which canned foods are subjected IN
factories runs as high as 245 to $50
degrees for some foods such as corn
and is in every case made sufficient to
destroy bacteria. .s
olives have not, as a rule, been put
through an intense heating process
but it is understood that the bottlere
contemplate much higher heat sterilz-
alton as a precaution against further
attacks of poisoning through them.
Aside from advances in standards II
is interesting to note that Industrial
canning is now put almost entirely on
a mechanical basis. Corn is, husked and
Silked by machine and even the thin
skinned tomato can be eXpertly peeled
by machinery Such uses of machines
have in the past few years revolution
class of the housewives home canning
with slow hand labor. into the place
OF giant motor-run industry.
The earning trade dates back to an
| incident in the career of Napoleon
| Bonaparte. Napoleon was about to
start on a foreign campaign, and he
felt that his greatest weakness lay ir
providing proper food for his men. He
put this problem up to the country
and offered, through the French gov
eminent, a prize for the best invention
to preserve rations for long journey
Of the many suggestions proposed that
of Nicholas Appert was judged the
best. and the prize, amounting to s., 40C
was awarded to him. Appert's inven-
ton was the process of Theoretically
sealing food. His first crude hand
made container of century ago, was
the grandfather of the machine made
and filled product of today.
Some idea of the size of the packing
industry in this country may be had
from the fact that one plant in Cali
fornia packs the product of 10000 acre,
Of fruit. including cherries. suawber-
ries, apricots, peaches, pears. and other
fruits of the region. The payroll OF
this organization resembles the roster
of an army. It's output would appar-
emily satisfy a whole nations yearning
for canned fruit, vet this is only, one
of many large canneries that fill the
ever-increasing demand for food put
up in this way.
