The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1914-09-17

Did you ever notice to what multi
ciplicity of uses the walters towel is
put? 1t is the most universally ap-
plicable implement of modern civili-
cation. When the waiter comes to
wait on you he brushes the crumbs off
the table with it, and while he is wait
ing for your order, he will probably
wipe portion of the last soup order off
his own hands with it. Then he goes
and brings you your glass and polish
es it off with the same towel, and when
he brings you your knife and fork he
very carefully polishes them off with
it, This exertion in hot weather, by
that time, has produced little pers-
piration, and that goes on the towel
too, because it is an extremely absor-
bet article and it might as well absorb
sweat from the walters face as any
thing else. When he brings you your
plate 1t likewise is polished with the
same towel; by this time, ii is toler-
ably damp and therefore takes off a
little more easily any particles of
food that stick to the plate. Then
when he changes your plate for the
different courses in the meal, each one
of them gets another polish with the
same towel, of course,) and then it
goes back into his belt and rubs up
against the furniture that he comes in
contact with; doing his polishing work
all the time. And If in the course of
serving you, he happens to spill lit
tie food on his shoes, destroying their
super-excellent polish, the towel is
once more brought into requisition
and helps to clean those shoes. But
enough: We have indicated Of what
universal application is this beautiful
instrument of our hard worked friend.
Seriously speaking, the use Of such
towels, in these different ways. is a
violation of the Sanitary Food law of
Tennessee, inasmuch as it means that
food is being served and sold In a
manner detrimental to it's quality and
purity, and SO the customer of restau-
rants and hotels can help himself if
he will call the walters attention to
this fact whenever he sees the towel
improperly handled,
The Inspectors of the State Food
and Drugs Department always watch
carefully whenever they are in res
taurant as to the conditions of the
towels and other articles of walters
clothing, but particularly the towel,
and when an improper use Ia being
made of 1t attention is called to the
fact. This is one practice which, like
a good many others, has grown up as
a result of apathy on the part Of con-
sumers and of indisposition to make
trouble or to raise d possibly unpleas-
ant discussion. 1t will take a long
time to eradicate 1t. Let's all help
to do it. The walters towel ought to
go and 1t ought to be substituted by
something which can be kept really
clean and which will not be found so
universally useful by this long-suffer-
ing and ordinarily well-meaning craft
sman.

During the year 1913 over rs tons
of goods unfit for food were destroyed
by this department. 1t is matter OF
pride with the department that during
the year 1914 there has been very lit
tie trouble on this account. The law
has been strictly enforced; the deal
ers know it, and they are. therefore,
taking no chances.
Consumers can help themselves and
the administrators of the law, if they
will watch for small patches of this
kind of material and call the attention
of the persons holding them to the
provisions of the law. If this warn
ing is unheeded. quiet note to the
nearest Inspector of the Food and
Drugs Department, ought to secure
the necessary relief.

Personal Touches in Sports

Predictions came true on the Harvard Yale
game, though the overwhelming defeat OF the
Bulldog was rather a great surprise TO most
followers Of football. The SO TO o defeat was
tho worst the Yalemen ever suffered. and Is
about the highest tribute to be paid the most
remarkable gridiron machine that has ever
sported the Crimson. The Ellis were COM
pletely crushed. and It certainly was a sad
day for the supporters The Yale bowl"
about which so much has been written was
packed TO its capacity. and another football
record was established when 70O05 persons

'BALL CAME THURSDAY is TEIE NEXT BIC EVEH

After lying dormant FOR a decade, the
spirit of gridiron rivalry which has ex-
isted between Swarthmore and Haver-
ford since 1879 has been revived. The
tie game, three to three, which these
elevens played on Saturday was the best
thing that could have happened for the
interest In the game in this section. Had
either team won by decisive score, OF
even by q small count, the followers
of the winning eleven would have taken
less interest In the game In the future.
That neither was able to win is accounted
for In a large measure 10 the over
development OF the defense to the exclu-
sion of offense.
In a rudimentary way. Haverford
showed more football knowledge than
the Garnet. This was shown by the re-
peated use Of the forward pass by the
Main Liners. But they were not suffl-
clently skilled in it's execution to break
down the defense which Coach Gieg and
his assistants had built up at swarth-
more. The fact that both ,elevens were
lacking in strong versatile attack
proves that much time had been spent
in constructing a good defense.
If Haverford could have followed her
forward passing with effective plunging
and end running. Swarthmore would have
would have been inevitable On the other
hand, IL the Garnet eleven could hate
opened up the Haverford defense by eff
ncent use Of the forward pass, her
plunging game would have given her the
victory But both lacked one essential
element on the offense, hence they were
unable to pound the enemy into sub
