Show SEVEN MUKN TO tt MSTB Salt Lake. Aug 26. Deputy Commissioner Com-missioner Pratt of the state board food and dairv commission Is filing information with the county attorneys attor-neys of Salt Lake and Davis counties relative to the violation bv dairymen of certain food and dairy laws of the state. Seven dairymen in all are named as violaters, five of them operating oper-ating in Davis county and two in Salt Lake county It is probable that complaints com-plaints against them will be Issued the first of next week. It has come to the attention of tho food and dairy commission that tho offending dairymen have been in tho hab.t of using their milk and cream cans for purposes other than the shipment ship-ment of dairv products. Some of them, it is said, have even gone so far as to convey ashes and dirt and refuse in the cans, afterward using them for the shipment of milk and cream. This ,s of course in absolute contradiction to the law, and it Is the purpose of the commission to prosecute the offenders to the limit. Every dairyman in the state Is supposed sup-posed to register his number with the secretary of state. This number should appear on all cans used by the dairyman In his business, and the cans should be returned at once to the owner after their contents have been disposed of at their destination, desti-nation, If the law Is complied with, Mr. Pratt says, danger from the carrying car-rying of disease germs in milk cans will be reduced to a minimum, while, on the other hand, if absolute cleanliness cleanli-ness is not observed as required by law, milk cans become very susceptible suscep-tible to germ Infection, and are dangerous dang-erous disease carriers. |
