Improvement In the places that
manufacture and handle food pro-

seldom do we ind these tin cans
clean. MIR. Jones Coffee and Chill

and was ordered to make q change.
The markets. bakeries and candy
factories we're found In fair condi-
ton. A few OF these places are not
provided with the proper toilet facili-
ties. Those that are not 30 provided
have been requested to see that the
proper toilet facilities are provided
for their places OF business.
