Judging from the following article
clipped from the Brunswick Banner
the people in the seaport city have
mistaken idea of Americas aud
Americas fans. For the information
of the Brunswick brother we beg to
states that AMERICUS WAS THE
FIRST CLUB TO VOTE AGAINST
THE SHORTENING OF THE SEASON.
Our club is travelling at good pace
and we are enjoying their winning too
much to shorten the season bit. But
here is the clipping:
Talk of shortening the present
baseball season has been revived and
word from Thomasville announces
that club will sanction the move
ment. The proposition is to cut down
the season ten games. President Kali
mon, whose home town is now in the
lead, is ardently in favor of the
proposition. Manager Dudley, of the
Thomasville team, is in the cotton
business, and so is Kalmon, and as
the cotton season will open earlier
than usual, they, of course, are anx-
ious for the season to close. We
should bibble about their cotton bus
mess. 1t would be manifestly I'M
fair to Cordele, Brunswick and
Waycross and we do not believe the
movement to shorten the season will
meet with success. If Thomasville's
position at the present was the
same as Brunswick's, she wouldn't
favor the move, either. But Thorn
asville has won the first half and she
doesn't care rap who wins the
second half, and the earlier the sea-
son closes the better it will suit
that club.

Customers testing fruit before purchasing

we have formulated series OF regula-
tons to be complied with by all who
display food or confectionery or offer
It for sale or transport 1t through the
city. These regulations are now going

written in plain, simple language. easily

agencies an effort will be made to see
that such letters get into the hands

city, even down Broadway near the
financial district. But almost all
of them at present use uncovered
baskets, open alike to dust, flies and

mobiles and other vehicles. This model,
you see, is lightly and substantially
made. 1t is closely woven of wicker
that ought to withstand wear and
stormy weather. and each of its COM
partments is projected by a tight fitting
cover.
I'VE do not intend to tell where these
several models may be purchased, for
we are not advertising any merchant or
manufacturer: but we do propose to
tell some thousands of itinerant vendors
just what they ought to pay for dupl-
Gates. Here, again, is something else
a shallow wooden tray with glass top,
which will hold a variety of small wares
such as candies: and with it goes this
little stand, easily carried under the
arm, on which the tray may rest when
the owner stops on the street to sell
his goods.

Boldaun concluded. "is better to-day
than the milk supply OF any other large
city in the world. 1t has been made so
by systematic education OF the public
and the dealers and by close inspection
constantly kept up. The Health De-
partment proposes to make the general
food supply equally good and will try
to do so by corresponding methods OF
education.
This, you remember. was one of the

Mitchell during his campaign. He called

the extent of his ability. SO. you see,
the educational campaign now to be
put in operation is not something
thought of over night"
Carelessness in handling foods and

Gus intestinal troubles from which old
and young alike suffer. Included in
these disorders Is ptomaine poisoning, a
large percentage of which it is hoped 10

In order to give some idea of the vast
scope of the proposed undertaking, II
may be said that already Health Board

! places in a single week W. ere food OF all
kinds is manufactured and sold in New
York. During one recent week. as a
result of such inspection, more than
1900 pounds of fresh meat was con-
demncd in abattoirs alone as unfit for
! human consumption, and more than
| 10000 pounds of canned goods were
/ likewise condemned; while in the same
| seven days the total amount of meat,
! fish and vegetables condemned as UNIT
for food amounted to 663,696 pounds.

sides and a close fitting top of glass to
hold vegetables. fruits and candles that
ought to be protected most carefully.
You see the pushcart is light in weight
as well as substantial, and when shown
around the city ii will bear a placard
telling just what 1t cost and how much
others like 1t may be purchased for"
Are you going to show these models
through the city?" DR.. Boldaun was
asked.
Indeed We are" he replied. "Our
object is to display them wherever we
can. to make OF them a travelling
health education exhibit. and we hope
that owners Of unoccupied stores and
other vacant places will grant us per-
mission to show them widely. But
wish to call your attention to this"
The physician stopped before large
bowl of heavy glass into the top Of
which fitted with nice exactness a glass
cover, so made that a notch was left
just large enough to support the handle
Of a glass ladle.
This" said Dr. Boldaun, as a model
jar for pickles. You see how deep and
clean 1t is. and how transparent on
every side: and one OF the first things
to be noticed Is that It is almost i'm
possible for dust to sift through that
notch in the cover because the ladle
fits into 1t so closely.
Enormous quantities OF pickles are
sold in the delicatessen shops and from
stands and pushcaYts of New York, al
most all being kept in wooden tubs,
either standing open all day long and
far into tho evening. or else only COW
cred In part with loose lid. When 4
customer enters one of the better class
of shops and asks for pickles they are
usually taken out with a wooden ladle,
which in itself Is difficult to keep really
clean. But scores Of thousands OF the
poorer people, and especially school
children, purchase pickles every day
from pushcart vendors: and when they
ask for a pickle the vender, often as
not. thrusts a grimy hand down into
the tub, selects a pickle, pulls 1t out.
wraps 1t in a bit of old newspaper and
gives II TO his customer. one may
imagine the possible consequences.
Strange as 1t may seem under mod
ern conditions, very few such vendors
who have been spoken to had the
slightest idea that there was anything
wrong with their methods of handling
food. When we explained that the
pickles would keep in far better con-
dition If properly cared for in n glass
container they were at once interested
and seemed eager to ascertain where
such containers could be purchased
and what they would cost We have
found it far easier, up to the present
time, to educate the merchant or ped
Ter than the purchasing public.

promptly did both. The residential fee
for seasons license to play was fixed
at 81; the non-residential, 80 cents a

a busy time raking in the dollars. The
department has now extracted dollar

new applicants is even now coming In
at the rate OF $50 a day.
But besides uncovering this little gold

daun when asked to explain in advance
something of the plans now being COM
pleted THE matter has been talked
over at length, being in fact one of the
first taken up by the Commissioner
when he assumed office in February;
and after full examination of existing
conditions, as well as many visits Of
personal inspection. the Health Board
has decided to commence systematic
campaign of education through which
II Is hoped to arouse merchants and
pedlers to the necessity OF properly
screening the food they have on sale.
AT first thought it may seem an ex-
tremely difficult task. but experiments
conceived and already carried out by
Miss Laura a. Cauble of the Bureau of
Food supply of the New York Assoc
citation for Improving the Condition OF
the Poor, and followed up by our own
inspectors, prove ConCluSlvely that as
a rule the men and women who sell food
and candles are glad to meet us fully
half way. These merchants and ped
lers. to our surprise. seem to be wholly
ignorant of the dangers to health of
their customers. They do not realize
that germs OF many communicable
diseases may be carried from one to an
other through the medium of foods ex
posed to dust, flies, dirt and human
hands.
I'VE are careful to mention to each
one that his stock in trade would last
much longer without deterioration, that
he would have to throw away far less Of
the goods he sells. II he kept those goods
covered in such a way that neither dirt
nor undue heat from the sun could
start them spelling. Possibly this argu-
ment has az much to do with their
willingness to adopt our suggestions
as anything else. At all events they
do show a willingness most commend
able.
Instead OF being resentful, almost
all Of the people approached by Miss
Cauble and our inspectors have seemed
really anxious to know what they should
do; and they have been told with kind
ness and patience. one district was
chosen for this experiment, along the
upper East Side. where IA systematic
plan in this special form of health edu-
cation has been carried out for several
months among a large number of shop
keepers and pushcart men.

found to be deplorable, but there has
been an immense Improvement in block
