appeals, which said that there was a
distinction between a house that is
double and one that is single, has seen
a distinction that does not exist. Up
in Cleveland a woman named Carrie
Hunt began building a double house
on a plot whose lease contained
building restriction to the effect that
buildings should be erected thereon
for residence purposes only. The ap-
peals court singularly enough held
that although a double house was a
place used for residence purposes, it
was not place used for residence pur-
poses only and enjoined the building
of the double house. 1t is this distinc-
tion which the supreme court says 1t
is unable to grasp.
Won't Lose Half of Pop, Now.
The old plunger stopper bottle
soon will be "passe" in Ohio.
The state agricultural commission,
which has sweeping jurisdiction over
foods and drinks in addition to
many other things, is about to put the
ban on the plunger stopper and pro-
poses to exclude 1t from the state on
the ground that it is not sanitary.
The plunger stopper was conspicuous
feature of every pop bottle in Ohio
not long ago and still is used quite
extensively. 1t is affixed permanently
to the bottle and the bottle is opened
| by hammering down sort Of bent
wire fixture that protruded out
through the neck of the bottle. The
hammering pushed the rubber stopper
| down past the bottles neck and re-
| leased the contents of the bottle. In
the old days the pop seller adroitly
used to hit the bottle against the un-
derside of his counter or against any
other solid substance and the problem
of releasing the contents was instant
ly solved. Now the state food depart
ment of the agricultural bureau is
making a new code for all bottlers of
soda and mineral waters and the in
hibitation against the plunger stopper
is one of the provisions of the code
The department holds that the stopper
L
the reason that it never comes out OF
the bottle. Numerous other sanitary
regulations are provided for in the
proposed new bottling code. One OF
them makes flies intruders non grata
in all soda and mineral water bottling
plants and provides that there must
be at least one fly trap in each bottlins
room. The type of fly trap, however
is not prescribed.
