Hotelkeepers in Virginia who keen

All kinds OF schemes are worked BY
some hotelkeepers TO make an appear

The required eight-foot sheet is am

at some places 1t is found that at the

the whole covering may be folded so

Or. Flanagan advised hotelkeeper,;
TO buy sheets not less than 100 inches
long. He has found that in some In
stances proprietors have endeayored
to obey the law. and have bought
ninety-siX inch sheeting. The hon,
at one end takes three to three and
one-half inches. and at the other one
inch: Then, after the first washing.
perhaps three inches more Is lost. The
result is 4 sheet less than ninety Inches

Just bought new sheets contended that
she had complied with the law, ana
yet She could not show a sheet within
seven inches of the minimum. DR..
Flanagan realizes that hardships are
sometimes worked in this way: yet he
does not see his way clear to make
concessions for some people. for that
would involve an endless demand for
lcniency In other matters.
On the whole. the sanitary condi-
tons in Virginia hotels arc good, and
there Is general disposition 10 clean
