Insanitary Market Conditions.
o the Editor Of The Star:

10 the Editor of The Star:
The health departments of various
cities. as well as the government Of
ficials, call attention many times,
especially during the spring. to the
fly menace and elaborate considerably
on the germ-carryfng power of these
insects. urging every one to kill as
many flies as possible and thus assist
in avoiding various diseases directly
traceable to this cause.
Last Saturday I had occasion to visit
one Of the large markets, where, un-
doubtedly. a great majority of the
present population of Washington
purchase food, and was astounded to
find that the meats and edibles of all
: kinds are permitted to lay exposed
on the counters of this establishment.
where they are readily subject to
flies. dirt and dust. Another thing
which struck me very forcibly was
the filthy condition of the aisles,
counters and spaces around them.
where scraps of meat, as well as de-
cayed vegetables. etc. are thrown.
This condition is intolerable and is
a fit subject for the attention of the
proper authorities of the District. /
spoke casually to one or two of the
dealers in the market on this subject
who endeavored to justify this condi-
ton by saying that the fans created
an upward draft which cooled these
edibles and kept the flies away from
them. This Is preposterous.
In the over-crowded condition in
Washington at the present time one
can readily realize the possibility Of
an epidemic Of one of the many dis
eases directly traceable to the germ
carrying fly. r. W. RICHARDS.
