housewives, Demand Wrapped
Bread.

We screen our meat, we bottle our
milk, we require that nearly all food
stuffs shall have adequate protection
from the ubiquitous germ. How is it
with our bread? When the careful
housewife removes it from the pan she
wraps it in an immaculate liner cloth
and rewraps it after each cutting.
The majority of bakers send out un-
wrapped bread. There are innumer-
able ways in which bread may be con-
taminated between the bakery and
the table. The sneeZe or cough of a
horse in proximity to the breadwagon
may scatter thousands of germs before
it has even reached the grocery case,
or counter, as the case may be. Here
it is again subjected to in discriminate
handling. We seem to close our eyes
and purposely ignore the unclean
hands or the soiled cuffs of the grocery
clerk who so kindly meets our wants.
Any observant person may see some
thing any day that should impress up
on him the necessity for wrapped
bread. In front ola suburba n grocery,
which by the way is Immediately
across from police station, several
boys were entertaining themselves by
jumping in and out of two bread re-
ceptacles thar stood upon the pave
ment in front of the grocery. With
feet that had crossed and re-croSsed
the stable yard in the rear, these boys
were testing the skill and accuracy of
muscle power, by jumping straighr up
and landing in the bread boxes. The
policemen across the way may have
enjoyed the sport. Certain it is that
they did not interfere. After watch
ing the boys for some time two club
women, who felt indignant at the I'M
cleanliness of the proceeding, called to
the groceryman, who was returning
from his dinner and asked that the
boxes be Immediately cleaned.
EYES," said the obliging merchant,
"I'll haven't done at once" One of
the boys procured a bucket of water
and Selling the broom that had been
used shortly before in sweeping the
pavement, he proceeded to sweep the
inside of the boxes with the water and
foul broo 1t is safe to say that
every straw of that broom was fairly
alive with germs before it was put in
to the boxes. Were the bread receipt
acle bettered by such cleaning ~
Verify they were not The innocent
and unsuspecting consumers who ate
the bread deposited in those boxes
from the noon delivery. might we'll
have fallen victims to any one of
several diseases communicated by
germs from sputum, horse manure, or
other communicating source.
The time is ripe for state legisla-
tion in this important matter.
Housekeepers everywhere should pat
ronize the bakers who wrap tl.eir
bread Thus will those who are op-
posed to doing So, be forced to accede
to popular demand.
A few years hence we will wonder
how we ever consented to receive the
unwrapped loaf. st. Louis may we'll
be emulated in her wise and sanitary
requirements on the wrapped bread
question 1t is to be hoped that
hotels, restaurants, boarding-houses,
luEch counters and all places where
bread Is used, will refuse the unsani-
tary, unwrapped loaf. You who may
read this, join in the demand.
