CLEANLINESS THE FIRST LAW

Dr. Harvey w. Wiley of the Bureau of Chemistry, Washington, in re- cent report says. "The sanitary aspect of refrigerators and ice boxes during hot weather may develop conditions beyond human toleration. Why res taurant keepers do not take better care of these places of storage is dif- fcult to say However, it is regret table fact that many such places often contain highly objectionable material, and If not intended for immediate use 1t often contaminates and ruins the entire contents of the ice box."
 Have you had peep into the ice boxes in the always open kitchen" at Bishops Colonnade, Savin Rock? The first law of the successful restaurant keeper Is cleanliness. Business will side step a dirty eating place as d saint dodges evil. The place "behind the scenes at the Coloonade Is al- ways open to the public.
