Dr. Reeks Tells of Conditions in
 Some Butcher Stores
BEEF STRONG; LAWS WEAK
Dirt, Dust and Untidiness Found in Some Places and Stronger Laws Will Be Recommended to Support Department.

Meat with whiskers on it!
 That is what Health Superintendent T. E. Reeks told the health commits sion the food inspectors find in some stores they visit on their daily rounds. An idea of conditions that exist in a few of New Britain's grocery and meat stores was revealed by Dr. Reeks. When the curtain went up the health commissioners were sur prised at the show. This all hap pened at the January meeting of the board late yesterday afternoon.
 The subject was brought up by the superintendent when he explained to the commissioners that the inspectors are forced to contend with very bit ter antagoniSm by the proprietOrs of some stores whose esta blishments they go to inspect. On that account he would like the ordinances revamped so that the inspectors would be backed by the proper authority and that they might overcome the re- nlonstrance of these proprietors. He said the ordinances were not very ex- plicit. In fact, he said, the greatest problem that confronts the inspectors b IS to judge when stores are clean and when they are dirty.
 The First Reel.
 Stores have been visited, Dr. Reeks said, where dust from all eighth to @ quarter of an inch thick was found on the shelves and bread was piled on counters on which also reposed kero- sine oil cans, bill heads, wrapping paper, potatoes, etc.
 Some butchers who are recognized s men who want to do the right thing are authority for the statement that meat is not good to eat until it has whiskers on it. Before it is fit for consumption the butcher must turn barber and sculptor, removing the fuzz and that part of the meat that has turned a dark color. Then it is de- l, liciouS.
 Dr. Reeks told of inspectors going into stores and finding meat that was prancing around the prairies when Methuselah was 8 babe in arms. The proprietors were asked whether they considered it fit for eating purposes. Invariably they answered in the neg ative and dropped it into the scrap barrel, saying that it would, be dis posed of And as soon as the in spectors were out of sight the self

USEFUL HINTS FOR WOMAN
WE ARE AGAIN REMINDED OF
WOMAN'S INDIRECT INFLUENCE
That "Her Place Is in the Home" and Doubling
Electoral Vote Will Bring No Good Re-
suits" the Belief of This Writer

e4TtHE recent extremely close preslden.
\ tlal election. in which, especially in
The western States many women par
tcipated. and the long delay in receiving
authentic returns bring up strongly
again the question of whether the wom-
ems vote is Of any practical advantage to
The country at large or whether It does
not only end in increasing the labor of
counting the ballots by almost doubling
the number OF votes without changing
the result.
"1t is reasonable 20 suppose that I'm the
average family or at least the majority
Of them, the husband, wife, brother and
sister would naturally vote alike; for the
obvious reason that their interests are
IN common. Although, Of course. In some
Instances, there are cases where a father
and son are Of different political views
IN general-it is like patrlotism-they
all think alike, as they are brought up
that way.
Therefore, I contend In The case of
woman suffrage as regarding the welfare
OF the Government and improving pres
ent conditions and without denying at all
the rights of women (slnce we all know
that there are numerous men and women
who. in number Of ways, are totally
unfit to vote), simply doubles tho amount
of ballots without any real good being
accomplished in the end
by this I mean, especially in the case
Of married men, to quote the old saying,
The hand that rocks the cradle is the
hand that rules the throne In other
words, in eighty per cent of the average
families the wife naturally shares her
husbands political opinions, and in some
cases, perhaps, dominates them, since
obviously their interests would or should
lie in the same plane.
In conclusion / would say that to my
mind woman suffrage. while perfectly
legitimate and Just. is useless, and simply
