CANNOT REFILL MILK CANS

Turkey Has Receptacle to Thwart Dishonest Peddlers—Officially , Sealed by Inspectors. WaSElßgton.—From benighted Turkey comes news through the state department of’ an invention calculated to make the dishonest milkmen of all the world quake in their boots. The invention consists of a can fitted with valves which permit a liquid to be poured out but not in. There is an opening, of course, by which the can is filled, hut as soon as this is done and scientific Inspectors have tested the contents and pronounced them unadulterated and unwatered milk, the opening is officially sealed. After that the milk is ready to be sent to the consumer. The sanitary inspector of Saloniki, Turkey, is so taken with the device that he has ordered all the milk dealers of that city to supply themselves with the new can, and as soon as this can be done he will permit milk to be sold from no other container.
