Sanitary Food Shops.

Health officers in various cities are NOV
ing vigorously to insure a more healthful
standing In the food-purveying shops. by
insisting upon the covering of meats and
other materials that may convey disease.
Locally good work has been done lately
by inspectors of the health department,
who as far as possible have been cover
ing the field and examining the premises
of grocers and butchers and mstructing
them as to the approved methods of san
itary storekeeping. Not many cases
have been taken to court, probably Tor
the reason that the food vendors OF
Washington have as a class respected the
requirements and shown IA Willingness to
cooperate. In New York, however, it
has been necessary to round up the food
dealers on this charge, and the other
day seventy-one were arraigned in one
court. The moral example of such 4
roundup is proportionate to the ViSor
with which it is followed by other pros
ecutions. In too many cases municipal
virtue is spasmodic, and after single
sweep of law violators into court to sat
isfy the public that something is being
done there is lapse into quietude.
In the matter Of food cleanliness little
can be done without the cooperation OF
the public. Customers should personally
inspect the premises of their various
dealers and should give their patronage
to those who observe the laws of sani-
tation. In many cases the housewives
do their marketing by telephone and
never see the shops themselves. They
may be buying from the dirtiest of stores
in entire ignorance. In the whole mat
ter of not only the cost of food, but the
cleanliness of the supply. much depends
upon the personal attention of the con-
sumner. Purchases that are left with
servants or to the good will and con-
science of the dealers themselves are
never so satisfactory those made di-
rectIy and in person. With the house
keepers of Washington insisting upon
clean food the health officer will have
little difficulty in keeping the stores up
10 standard, even with his small force of
inspectors.

The residents of Murray Hill section.

in failure. Perhaps they hold back the
