STAMPING OUT MILK FRAUD, Board of Health Officers Pleased at the Progress Already Made, MUST HAVE MORE INSPECTORS To Ask Board of Estimate for Authority to Hire Five Chemists, MARTIN'S EXHAUSTIVE REPORT. Warm Words of Praise for the Fearless Justices in Special Sessions. Sellers of adulterated and skimmed milk are beginning to realize that there 4s serious danger ahead for them, if they continue to carry on their dishon- est tramc, President Wilson has prepared to take active measures for the suppression of the evil, and the first step will be the Goubling of the force of inspectors, A resolution is to be offered at the Meeting of the Health Board ealling upon the Board of Estimate and Apportionment to make provision for paying the salaries of five more men en the staff at $1,200 a year. At the request of the Board Dr. Kd- ward W. Martin, the chemist of the Health Department, has prepared an exhaustive report on the milk business in this city, which 1s also to be sub- mitted at to-day It contains Many valuable suggestions, which are © result of Dr. Martin's long expert- @mce of over seventeen years the Department. It In the Food of the Infants, “Of all the articles of food the sale of which requires the supervision of the Sanitary authorities,” says Dr. Martin an bis report, “milk ts the most im- portant, It is the food of the infant, the sick and the invalid; it in easy to adulterate; the temptation to this fraud is great, and the detection Is aimcult. “It does not require the services of an expert to detect tainted meat or unripe frult and vegetables, but the average citizen is almost entirely dependent upon, the vigilance of the Health Department for a pure milk supply. “The addition of water and the re- moval of cream not only injurlously lowers the quality of the milk, thus de- priving the infant and the invalld of their necessary nourishment, but the se of water Infected with disease to @dulterate produces the most fatal ro- sults, Typhoid fever, diphtheria ond Kindred diseases can be and are dis seminated by the use of milk to which to-day meeting. in commit Buch disease-bearing water has been added. “An epidemic of typho!d fever near Stamford, Conn., is a recent example of this. Two deaths resulted and numer- ous cases of the disease, all because the Gealer adulterated the milk with invected water. “We have now six inspectors of milk, one of whom Is detailed for chemical work in the laboratory to assist in the | milk analyses, This gives us five tn- spectors for actual work. If the foree were increased by the appointment of five additonal inspectors, and under the | present conditions, we would be in a Position to reduce the sale of adulter- ated milk so that 9% per cent. of it would be pure. As it is now, there are 7,000 places where milk is sold, some twenty p) where it is brought into the city and which must be inspected between 11 P, M. and 4A. M. Many of the wholesale @ealers do not have a store, so that their milk must be inspected when de- livered, namely, between 4 A, M, and 9 4. M.

The polleeman approached him and asked what was the matter. The man ald that he was dying. He had taken two ounces of laudanum to kill himself, Lying near by was a three-ounce vial, in which was about an ounce of laud anum.
