CHARGED TO FOOD LAW.
Advance in Price Of Ice Cream Soda
Threatened

Owing to the proposed diligence on the
part Of the inspectors Of the health Of
flee in enforcing the new pure food and
drugs act, the indications are at present
that every person selling ice cream soda
in Washington this summer will charge 10
cents for each glassful Of the beverage.
Last summer the universal price almost
was cents, and the increase is due en-
tirely, it is said. to the provisions of the
new pure food and drug act passed at the
last Congress. the provisions of which
require a standard Of ice cream to be
used.
By the terms Of the new law ice cream
must contain at least Is per cent butter
fat and. according to the health officer,
he proposes to have his inspectors on
the jump enforcing this law and COM
polling the merchants to live up to its
provisions. These inspectors will visit
every place in the District where ice cream
is manufactured and Sold and it will
be their duty to determine whether or not
the consumers are getting their portion of
butter fat.
The health officer stated that the pure
food law does not contain any provi-
sion which would cause an advance in the
price Of this popular beverage, but as 1t
will cost more to manufacture it. it is
very likely the price will be universally
raised to 10 cents.

PREPARING FOR TENNIS.
Grounds That Will Be Used by the
Y. NJ. C., A,

The physical director Of the Y. NJ. c. A.
will assign his attendants to duty at the
tennis courts Wednesday with the aim In
view Of having the grounds in first-class
shape for opening the courts to players
April 1. The large number of players will
have no difficulty in securing ample ac-
commodations this spring. because the as
ISOLATION has provided twenty courts, six
at 21st and B streets northwest and eight
at Park road and 18th street northwest,
just back Of the railway stables.
At the latter place the director has pro-
vided the best accommodations ever pro-
vided by this organiza ton. In addition
to enlarging the grounds for the Mt. Pleas
ant players from six to eight courts, he
has provided shower baths within the
grounds, enlarged the dressing rooms and
provided lockers for the players. The play
ers on these grounds number about seventy
five, including many of the best-known
players of the District.
Early last August the athletic committee
selected this new site and had men steadily
employed all fall in perfecting the grounds
so as to be in good condition early this
spring. The courts at 21st and B streets
are already in almost perfect condition, and
can be readily prepared for immediate use.
1t Is expected that many new players will
enroll this spring and engage in practice
and training for the annual championship
tournament which Is held in June.

SOUNDS ICE CREAM ALARM.
Physician Declares That the Popular
Summer Delicacy Abso:bs Germs.

Editor Post: AS practicing physician
of the District and with all others of the
profession, having the health of our citi-
zens very much at heart, l have been
prompted to write to you upon a question
that is very important to the homes of
citizens.
Congress has passed a food law looking
to the improvement in the purity well
as the sanitary conditions under which
produce and provisions now handled.
l believe 1t to be the duty OF the press OF
Washington to at once take up the matter
where Congress left off. and to further
the interest of the people by causing re-
lentless war to be waged against those
who are Indifferent in the handling of milk
products.
While other food products may become
dangerous by the use of poisonous or
deleterious ingredients. milk and its prod
ucts become absolutely poisonous when
surrounded by merely insanitary con-
ditions, and even though pure when receiv-
ed rapidly deteriorate when improperly
handled
Especially is this true as regards ice
cream. a popular summer diet. Improper
ly handled, stored manufactured in the
midst of impure atmosphere, where the
germ-destroying sunlight never enters, 1t
becomes the storehouse of millions of
dangerous germs and a menace to health
and life.
From observation there exists in this city
many places where this health giving food
when properly treated. is made up in dark.
lnsantary cellars, surrounded by all sorts
of Nth environed by foul atmosphere,
whence 1t is sold to the unsuspecttng public
as pure food.
AS the custodian of the peoples well
fare. you should make it a feature to
without fear or favor-expose these con-
ditions. and. by public sentiment aroused,
force such improvement as is necessary to
insure the public health
There are. of course, many factories in
Washington where the most sanitary con-
dtions prevail and where every modern
appliance has been installed to properly
care for and insure the purity of this very
delicious American dish.

3 After Soldier Pitcher.

the Augusta, Ca. team land a pennant
Among his soldiers is one whom Ed. Ran
sick, manager of the Augusta team, desires
for his pitching staff. but to get him
Ransick must secure his release from the
army and the club must pay for it. The
soldier ball player is Jerry Armstrong,
formerly of Fort Thomas who while he
was stationed there made q reputation
for himself as an amateur pitcher. He is
built like Ambrose Putnam and Is left
handed. Ransick believes he will make a
record for himself and take the place of
Rucker, drafted by the Brooklyn club If
Ransick secures Armstrong; release he
will have established a unique record, for
no club, as far as known, has ever gone
so far as to appeal to Uncle Sam for a
player.
