Clean Up and Keep Clean.

Mr. l.. ID. Jones, assistant pure iood
inspector. was in town one day last
week. and while here gave critical eX-
animation of our store houses from
which food is being sold for the use oil
man.
Having finished his work he called
at the Herald Office and gave an IN
teresting account Of the details Of ms
manner Of procedure, scope Of author
ity, etc. For the benefit Of our readers
we repeat some things he told US.
He can at any business hour Of the
day enter your place Of busine IS, look
into the stock on hand, take samples
for examination, look To cleanliness
Of premises, general sanitary con-
diti0ns, and If offensive articles are
found to have them fed to dogs rather
than man.
As to butcher shops his instructions
are explicit and unless Obeyed the
hand Of the law will be surely and
promptly felt The premises must be
kept clean, not only the shops but
their surroundings. and inspectors will
follow each other in quick succession,
and at such an hour rs you think not
one ofthem will be on you. In this
connection Mr.. Jones said, while he has
no control Of stores from which no
food stuiis were sold, he would urge
the health authorities Of the town To
look well to them and all other places
and have a clean and sanitary con-
dition from square to square, and cen
ter 10 circumference.
This il important work and the
town will give earnest cooperation.
On his next visit he will examine
into the character Of the whiskey we
are drinking, and with pure drinks,
pure drugs and pure food health con-
ditlons should be greatly improved.
