There is also a federal law preventing dealers from displaying as fresh eggs those taken from cold storage for interstate com- merce shipment. It has been found that some state dealers have labeled their cold storage egss_withgguch signs as “York state eggs” or “Massachusetts egss.” This, in the opinion of Commissioner Stadt- mueller, is evading the law affesting the display of stale eggs and a direct misrepresentation. According to the commissioner, there are some points of the state iaw regarding eggs which will have to be made clear sooner or later, but at present he is making an effort to make dealers recognize the fact that stale eggs must not be dis- played as “fresh.” On the whole, Mr. Stadtmueller says, the egs situation is good in this state, and he believes Connecticut’s egg supply is on a high plane when compared with the sur- rounding states. The egg situation in' this state is of unusual interest at present, owing to the turmoil caused in New York by the ultimatum recently delivered to New York state egg dealers by John 3. Dillon, commissioner of food and markets, ‘demanding, under threats of prosecution, that they Immediately begin marking the dates of packing on all_cold storage eggs offered for sale.

For the benefit of those unable to be present at the meeting of the Con- recticut Public Health association, the following extract from the paper read by Dr. John T. Black, secretary of the board, has been published 'in the monthly bulletin, as it is believed that every thinking person should know the exact status of the board at the pres- ent time. During the epidemic of the past summer the state board of health was unable to properly respond to the ap- peals for help that had come to it from many quarters. Has a dcaf ear been turned, have the appeals been treated lightly, or are there good reasons why the state board has not actively engaged the forces that endanger the lives ard kealth of the people? The answer is this: The appeals have been heard and they have been seriously considered, but with both hands tied little or nothing can be accomplished. Without the hand of authority and the hand of finance it can merely shout advice and kick at restraint. It is surprising to note the number of people who are still under the im- pression that the state board of has almost unlimited powers and is reasonably well equipped with funds. Let us look at the situation as it really is: The board has the authority to re- quest_information concerning diseases prejudicial to public health, but can- not_institute an investigation nor in- troduce measures for control. Local health officers can be advised, but not assisted. _Indifference or neglect of duty may be noted but cannot be cor- rected. Provision has been' made for the study of wated and sewerage works without the power to regulate. The statutes require the dissemination of information on health subjects without providing funds for the purpose. Vital statistics which should be available within a few weeks cannot be tabulat- ed for over a year because of restric- tions imposed. These few examples should be suffi- cient to convince the most skeptical of the urgent necessity for granting the state board regulating power an; for the reorganization of the health system of the state. To glance at the fnances, the a propriations for the fiscal year are as follows: General Expenses— Administration, including sal- RIS o os 3 Vital statistics, including town SDpMee o i S Bacteriological laboratory Antitoxin for free distribution Spring_and bottled water in- BDOCHON -2 000 sboass obloss 500 Total $24,000 These figures show that the state is allowing for the protection nad pres- ervation of the health of each of its citizens, through the state board of health, just two cents a year. ‘What other states are doing for their citizens: » Cents. Maine < 20 New Hampsbire ... H .1 Rhode Island ..... Massachusetts Vermont Sredearenas Pennsylvania ...... ... 1 The average per capita expenditur for health by the state board health of New England, ot Connecticut, is 5 1-2 cents—c that all New England is, fooli spending more than twice as m it should, or is Connecticut ju a much less progressive? But Connecticut is a _progressive state—it has spent a million dollars to protect and conserve its maritim interests—it is spending annually > and one-quarter millions on the high ways, two hundred thousand 3 for its tuberculosis sick, fifty-six th sand a vear to guard insurance inte ests, thirty-seven thousand to prot cattle, forty-six thousand for fish and game, and ye tonly twenty-four tho sand to preserve the health of its peo ple. We have become fully convinced that Connecticut, in its progressiveness along other lines, has overlooked t matter of health and has just begun to realize the fact. This being true, the effort that w bo made this coming winter to rec ganize the health system of the state and place it upon a good financial basis, wé expect, will meet with hearty support.
