MILKMEN BREAKING
PRIME LAWS
Food Inspectors Watching 3 Sus
pects ; New Department Do
ing Splendid Work
KEEP EYE ON DAIRY FARMS
Decrease in Contagion and Higher
Milk Standard Show Results
Being Obtained
Threo milkmen of the city who are
taking 1 milk bottles from steps of quar
antined homes are being watched by
the City Health Bureau, and unless
they stop removing them prosecutions
will result and their licenses will be
taken from them.
So declares Dr. J. M. J. Raunick,
head cf the bureau of health and sani
tation. Similar cases to these are re
ported to him daily by the two city
food inspectors, Dr. William Hughes
and Dr. George A. Zimmerman. These
inspectors were appointed about eight
months ago and It is their duty to in
spect all produce that comes into the
city. They make many trips to out
lying towns and inspect farms that
ship milk, meat and other food into
the city.
In many cases the health of the
people of Harrisburg has been pre
served because some places have been
found in an unsanitary condition and
as a result licenses have been refused.
Dr. Zimmerman, speaking of his trip
to the farms, said to-day: "The people
of tills city pay the prices for the food
that the farmer asks and it is only
right that they should know what they
are getting.
"We have little trouble with the
places of business in the city," he went
on. "but sometimes we find grocers
selling impure and unsanitarily kept
milk, meat and other food produce.
If all the people of this city would re
port and bring to the food inspector's
office the unfit things they buy and
then take the witness stand against
the dealer. It would be but a short
time until they could feel safe in buy
ing anything at any place in the city."
"The big reason for impure food is
the consumer who will not report and
will not appear against the man who
is trying to swindle them and injure
their health." y
Dr. Raunick, too, urged the co
operation of the public. He said: "The
only way to prevent the spread of dis
ease is to have the produce and
methods used in handling it inspected,
but the best results are obtained when
the public co-operate with the in
spectors. Investigations are made of
all the reports and tests made of the
questionable produce. In case it is
unfit for use the inspectors go after
the dealer."
That results are obtained by the new
department is shown by a decrease in
the spread of contagious diseases this
Fall and by the higher standard of
purity in the tests of the milk and
meat.
INDUSTRIAL CH KMISTRY
ATTRACTIVE.
Tn this connection (domestic in
dustries) it is well for our young men
casting about for their opportunity to
consider industrial chemistry. For
some years certain large corporations
have been establishing their own
laboratories with a view to discover
less expensive methods of manufac
ture, and improved quality, or in
creased production. What was a few
years ago considered an extravagance
justified only by such large undertak
ings as the Steel Company is now
realized as a profitable investment in
all lilies of manufacturing. Many a
concern has been surprised to discover
that an expenditure of $5,000 for a
chemist has made a saving of $50,000
for the owners. Processes which
were failures have been turned into
rich profits by the work of the in
dustrial chemist. For a young man
with a willingness to work hard and
possessed of good initiative and ex
ecutive ability, few lines of useful
ness ofTer better returns today than
this. Our state universities have been
quick to recognize this demand and
are enlarging and improving their
courses in chemistry. The bright,
capable graduates in this new field
are in demand, and by very reason of
the fact that the knbwledse is not to
be acquired in a few months, but re
quires several years of hard study,
the profession is not likely to be over
done for some years to come. The
position is one of trust as well as ef
ficiency, the salaries paid are attract
ive, and the ever-present possibility
of some specially valuable discovery
which will bring the finder a fortune
unites to make the work fascinating
to a young man of ambition. —H. H.

Mechanics Magazine.

you immediate relief, or If you do not
find It the best remedy you have ever
used, take it back to Geo. A. Gorgas
and he will return your money,
cheerfully and without any question
whatever. After seeing the grateful
relief it has afforded in hundreds of
cases, which had been considered In
curable, and which had been given up
in despair, I know what it will do. f
am so sure that It will do the same
with others, that I "am not afraid to
guarantee it will relieve instanta

say so. You are to be the sole judge
and under this positive guarantee, ab-,
