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.
