found in the Capital
Not long ago a health officer in the
fair city of Chicago stood before a fruit
store and watched the water triclle down
the glass window, moistening the luscious
peaches and tOothsOme pears, which were
artistically arranged in fancy baskets, and
with the natural leaves left hanging 10
the stems as a testimonial OF the short
time hence that the fruit was culled.
The desire came upon him to taste OF
the treasures Of mother natures store

man whose ancestors probably picked
grapes on the hilltops Of Hellas.
He purchased a basket of peaches from
the effusive Greek. and without peering
beneath the top layer Of rosy fruit, start
ed home With his mouth fairly water
ing, the health commissioner arrived at
his house and dumped the contents Of the
basket out on the table Behold! Six
peaches of the most delicate hue and six
specimens of indescribabe and under
sized fruit, recking with decay and with
dark oozy spots on their sides.
The ire Of the officer rose as he com
pared the top layer peaches with the
loathsom balls which lurked beneath.
Summary action was taken. and the
Greek hauled up for selling decayed fruit.
But 1t didn't stop there. A special cru
sade was made by the health inspectors
and several Iuckless sons OF Sparta and
Athens were found to be selling. not only
bad fruit, but peach-stones and wads of
paper. under the upper portion OF fruit
baskets. Similar conditions are reported
in other large cities.

Health officer w. c. Woodward said yes

against the venders.

life had been extinct only about ten
