 Finest Place in the West Next Fall.
 D. A. Donofrio. proprietor of the Donofrio -Zunkel Randy Kitchen, is to have the finest soda fountain between Missouri and the coast, and plans are nearing completion whereby he is go- ing to give Phoenix the classiest candy kitchen in the west, the only establish ment of its kind in the United States that will be entirely on the sanitary plan. Everything is to be worked out with this idea in mind, from the man. moth fountain in the front to the work ing rooms in the back the freezing plant, the candy machines, the mould ing tables, everything. Even the glasses at the fountain will be sterilized in hot water every time they are used. MT. Donofrio is going to spare no means or pains or expert advice to make his place absolutely bacteria proof His plans include new candy machines constructed especially for him to coincide with this idea of sani- tation. His fountain is to be built ac- cording to his own design and prom ises to be not only elegant but grand.
 GIr. Donofrio expects to open up the new candy paradise the latter part of August or the first of September, not fifty feet from his present location, in the building that will soon be vacated by his brother. Charles Donofrio, who will move farther up the street
 Yes" said MT. Donofrio, q intend to have the finest place of it's kind in the west and the only perfectly sanitary candv kitchen in the United States. I shall spare no expense to make it so. I have secured advice from the best men in my line in the country and have combined it all into a plan that is without an equal. Of course it will cost me something, and more perhaps than some may think advisable for a city of this size, but have great faith in Phoenix. Con- sdering the great number of sick who are here the year around, and the enormous trade that enters my place of business every day. l can not help but feel that it is my duty to give those who are fortunate enough to be well every safeguard possible. It is well known fact that a large percent age of contagious diseases are caught over the soda fountain, with the help of half cleaned glasses, and spoons, impure ice creams, sherbets, etc, and though l am ever so careful. unless every appointment comes under the sanitary rule 1t is utterly impossible to assure purity, that is of course when a business reaches a certain ca pacity. The new place will be a beauty. I don't think that Phoenix people will exactly realize what a really swell place I am going to have until give them the opening
 The new fountain. which will cost between sS.OOO and s1O,OOO, will be en- tirely of mahogany, Italian marble, onyx and German silver-the ice less fountain. Everything will be under refrigeration, brought about by the water draining from off the ice cream packers. The service coun ter will be thirty-five lineal feet, with four draughts or places to draw the soda water. All of the thirty or forty syrup jars and eight fivegallon ice cream cabinets will be entirely of DOT celain. The base of the bar or the back of the fountain will be of the refrigerator type, entirely of white Italian marble practically air tight, trimmed with German silver and lined in porcelain To give some idea of its enormous size, it will take over freight car to carry it all from the Liquid Carbonic Factory in Chicago to Phoenix. It will be the only fountain in the west equipped with a sterilized working board, that is the means of washing the glasses, spoons and uten sils with hot and cold water.
 The greatest treat of all in the new quarters will be the interior decora- tions and appointments. The new san itary show cases, twenty-five tables, and chairs, will be in mahogany. which will harmonize beautifully with the cool green tint that will form the ba- sic color Of the interior. There will be cosy booths, of the settee type with high leather padded backs. just room enough for four, with plain, neat, heavy tables all finished in green mission and stained art glass. On each of the twenty-five tables will be plac- ed the sanitary straw holder, which all lows the exposure of only one straw at time, and costing over s apiece. The greatest feature of the entire new candy store, and belonging to the interior decoration, feature that will win fame for MT. Donofrio. both ma tionally and internationally, will be the frieze and panel work, by w. F.. Rollins of Phoenix, noted the world over for his depicting of western life and scenery. Though negotiations have not reached a complete finish, accord ing to the plans at present. Mir. Rollins will execute a frieZe of cactus around the entire room with panels represent ing scenes of the Grand Canyon, Mis- sions of California, Casa Grlnde, In dian Life, the Cowboy, Mound Build CTS and snatches from the desert. It will be remembered that w F.. Rollins was the artist who handled a large
