NAPKIN BONE OF D|SCORO
BERLIN PROFESSOR STARTS RE
FORM FOR WATERS.
LOCAL LANDLORDS DISAGREE
One Norfolk Hotel Man Says WATERS
Napkins are Essential -- Another
Aorees with Professor kron That
They ouaht to be Abolished.

Norfolk hotel and restaurant pro
prictors disagree us to the theory OF
Professor Kron of Berlin, Germany
who has lust started crusade
through the columns OF leading mod
ical Journal. oc1i"st the walters nap
kin. Professor Kron says that the
walters napkin Is II "doplorably unhy
gienic piece of linen, which should be
abolished from all civilized countries
He notices how walters carry their
napkins, now in their hands, now In
their trousers pockets and sometimes
under their arms. They use IL to wipe
table tops, glasses knives, forks, per
spiration from their brows and beer
froth from their lips.
Thinks Napkins Essential.
In speaking of Professor Kron'f
opinions and his crusade, Landlord
Footo said:
mo doubt Prof. Kron Is correct In
regard to the use of walters napkins
as they are used in his country, but
fail to agree with the professor in
their use in and about this country
The tables have tablecloths instead OF
the polished table tops. They have
no beer for the walters and as n rule
they have good looking girls Instead
of the walters he mentions, AS for
wiping the glass, silver and china, II
seems to me that well regulated ho
tel would have enough clean silver
china and glasses on hand to serve a
meal without using the dirty ones
over again. OF course this Is America
and no doubt Prof. Kron speaks from
his experience in Berlin"
Mr.. Foote goes on further to say
that the waitress should always have
q cloth with her, for should she spill
anything II would not be pleasant to
have to go clear to the kitchen and
bring towel to wipe the spilled
things up with.
Landlord Zrfas says that he agrees
with Prof. Kron to 4 certain extent
He thinks that waiter should carry
a napkin because there are hot things
to be carried that cannot be carried
with the bare hands, and In the case
Ol uIl utClutlll luC NdllNl pilpuii nav Z
something to wipe up with. So far as
wiping the dishes with the napkins he
thinks It ought to be done away with
Agrees With Professor.
On the other hand Landlord Vail
heartily agrees with Prof. Kron and
says that, although he knows nothing
of the state of affairs in Germany, he
thinks that the walters of this country
are very careless. They carry theiI
napkins until they are very dirty and
also wear their aprons until the things
are filthy. He thinks that If the wait
ers would have little more pride In
their serving that the use of napkins
would be all right but as they are uset
now he agrees with Prof. Kron in tn,
reform he has started.

and maltreatment have been freely
made in connection with the action of
at least four of the attendants of the
Norfolk asylum toward the inmates of
that institution. To my mind these
I oIIShuhhlo diC Suhly anu pCllSNS
they ought to be prosecuted under the

Would it not be we'll for you to
have an investigation before a grand
jury and, If indictments are drawn,

best interests of the state to take such
action.
If you would like to have the tran

Very truly yours.
