Barnard of the state dairy and food commission making it compulsory for all persons employed in food handling establishments in Indiana to undergo a medical examination was in effect today. Medical inspection has been going on in some parts of the state for sometime but this is the first time the general state wide order was in effect. Mr. Barnard today stated that the ruling will be enforced to the limit. Sufficient sanction is provided by the order to make employers comply with its terms, in the opinion of health authorities. In the event that persons are not examined by medical authorities, their establishments will be condemned by the state board of health and the condemnation will remain in effect until the required medical certificates are filled out by health officials.
