sell or offer for sale spoiled foods.
To show that he means business.
Judge Preston imposed a fine of S5O.7s
on 3. Tomasso. proprietor OF deli
catessen In Vtaduct way, between

spector Wasser. who is conducting thu

come deathly sick in the delicatessen

will deal severely with all dealers found
with bad meats or other unwholesome

victed Of selling such articles A sec
ond offense, he says. viii mean 50 days

vides, in addition to fine and imprison-
ment the forfeiture Of license for any
dealer convicted of selling spoiled
