Fruit and Vegetable Stands Should
Be Covered.

The man or woman of today pays
rs much attention to the surround
ings where they buy their food as to
the quality. In fact good quality
and good surroundings go hand in
hand.
Do not patronize men who are not
careful Of the exposure of their
wares to filth and dirt. To do so is to
invite disease.
The fruit or candy stand upon the
public street is favorite resting
place for the flies frightened from the
street by the passing pedestrian.
And what were they doing on the
street? They were feeding on the
expectoration of some careless con-
sumptive, or upon garbage found in
the street.
The fly is not cleanly animal. He
not only feeds upon the discharges
and excreta Of other animals, but
smears his feet with germs and filth,
and deposits it wherever he goes.
Do not relax your vigilance be-
cause the cool weather is at hand.
The flies laden with germs are trying
in every way to obtain the protection
Of stores and dwelling houses. They
are especially attracted to places
where they will have an abundance
Of food. But do not let them.
Screen them outt Swat them!
But this is not all of the danger
from uncovered street stands. If
that were all it could easily be REM
edied by screening. The dust raised
by the passing teams and wind, set
ties upon them and renders them
dangerous. Some articles may be
rendered safe by washing, but all
articles sold in such places cannot be
washed. All such articles should be
protected from dust, especially those
which are usually eaten without
washing.
Do not use food which has been
handled. Promiscuous handling
means germ laden food. Do not buy
food which has been so handled. 1t
is dangerous.
The day of the uncovered fruit and
candy stand is slowly but surely pass
ing away. Everywhere cities are
passing ordinances forbidding the
sale of food of any kind unless pro-
tected from flies, dust and filth.
1t is not enough to screen our
foods, as that only eliminates the fly
They must be protected from dust
and filth raised by traffic.
Food intended for human use
should never be placed on a level with
the street among the dirt and filth
and subject to contamination by all
the passing animals. E
Ordinances are also being passed
forbidding the carting through the
street of meat, poultry, bread, fruit
and vegetables without being prop.
erly protected.
Do not wait for your city of village
to pass ordinances to protect you
hut protect yourself and your. chill
dren from danger.
Patronize the progressive man
who, reading the signs of the times
takes the proper precaution In the ex
hibition of his merchandise.
