gregation.

WHEELING, May RABBI A. H.

copied a call from one of the largest

sometimes in dirty back rooms, un.
covered, exposed to flies and dirt and
dust, cut with uncleaned knives and
saws. This not being bad enough there
needs must be, In one notable instance,
dirty gloves, soiled rags, a hammer and
the like mixed UP with the bayon and
salt pork-a sickening tumble.
Refrlgerators and coolers in all too
many cases show no signs of having
ever been cleaned and the conditions
under which lard an dsausages are
made are reprehensible in the extreme.
Towels in most of your stores are
conspicuous for their absence. Just
how or where hands are dried has
not been explained or discovered eX-
cept as the wearing apparel In some
instances gives evidence Of various
uses. Where towels are present the
dirt is more in evidence then the
towels. The number of even decent
towels seen by your committee might
be counted on the fingers Of one hand.
1t is surprising how many towels had
been sent to the wash" on Tuesday
Upon inquiry from the employer,
we were assured that employees are
instructed to cleanse their hands af-
ter visiting the toilet. The instruc.
tions may be honestly given but they
cannot carry far without provisions
being made for the proper cleansing
of the hands.
Not all the stores are weak in all
these points. 1t gives me pleasure
to state that you have in Fairmont
several food supply houses scoring 80
and over and more scoring so and over
and 1t is in these stores that dispo-
sition is shown to improve conditions.
The committee met with courtesy
on the part of most of the dealers. 1t
is a noteworthy fact that the only dis.
courtesy or grouchiness shown was by
those whose places Of business could
not bear inspection. The conscientl.
Gus dealer in every instance welcom.
ed the visitors. am glad to say that
the spirit of most Of your dealerstis
good. They do care and are anxious
to please their customers. If the own.
ers of the buildings were as consctenti.
Gus, conditions in many Of these stores
might be ideal in short order.
! would recommend the suggestion
of few Of your dealers, that regular
inspector be appointed to pay occas
ional visits, not of criticism but Of
helpfulness. A municipal housekeep.
er" would be welcomed by the con-
scientious, l believe.
Allow me to express by apprecia'
ton of the assistance given me by
the representative OF, the Womans
club, Miss Rock, and OF the city's rep.
resentative, Mr.. Holden. Thanks to
Mr.. Holden's tact and courtesy, our

GROUND LIMESTONE is BEST
Deserving of Consideration by Farm
ers Contemplating Lining Soil
Use in Any Quantity.

Ground limestone deserves the
earnest consideration of those who
contemplate lining the SOIL A natu-
raj product, it can be used in any
quantity without danger of injury to
the soil. Experiments have shown
that two tons of limestone are as eff
cient as one ton of quicklime, provid-
ed the former is finely ground. Lime
stone is considered finely ground when
Y5 per cent of it will pass through
sieve having 100 meshes to the inch,
When two tons of limestone can be
purchased and spread on the soil at
an equal or less cost than one ton of
quicklime or 1850 pounds of hydrated
lime, the limestone should be used.
Limestone siftings sometimes can be
secured. Although rather coarse,
there is enough fine material present
to justify their use, provided they can
be purchased at a price which will
make it practical to use four or five
tons per acre.

True Americanfsm.

The Americanism of a man is not al
ways proved by what he says. 1t is
proved by what he thinks, and his gen
eral attitude toward government. The
flag stands for freedom and self-gov-
eminent, the supremacy of the civil
over the military authority, and indi-
vidual rights. In this country, as
long as 1T continues to be American,
the state will be the servant, and not
the master Of the people.
