WILLARD EXAMINES
HANDLERS OF FOOD

DR.. r. s. Willard, city physician
has put in very busy week exam
ining walters in public eating
places, proprietors OF such places
and many others who are in any
way engaged in handling food. lie
has examined them for vencreal dis
eases and tuberculosis and has found
some to whom he has refused certi-
ficates which will not allow them TO
work in restaurants or other places
where food is prepared or served
During the week he examined be
tween 200 and 800 persons, men and
women. and said he was surprised
to learn how few were infected. All
showing traces OF being afflicted
with any of these diseases have
been told they could not work at
handling food in any way and Doc
tor Willard has refused them certi-
ficates.
There have been a number OF EN-
ployes of meat markets examined
the past week, but beginning tomor-
row the remainder of these must be
examined. This will be followed by
employees of drug stores where
lunches are served and all persons
working at soda fountains and cold
drink stands. He will also require
grocers and their employees and all
persons in any way engaged in hand
ling food TO be examined. Doctor
Willard also said that the barber
shops come under this regulation
and any person afflicted with disease
will not be allowed TO work in a
barber shop.
The law is iar-reaching and the
city physician is determined that If
shall be strictly enforced in Ard
more. There have been some per
sons engaged in restaurant work
who were denied certificate and
admonished that to attempt 90 re-
turn 10 that kind of work in Ard
more would result in their arrest.
Some of this class are said TO have
left the city.

Viewing this economic chaos from

TO devise means OF overcoming these

from the standpoint Of the producer'

shots were fired at Lcnine'S automo
bile but he was uninjured.
On the night OF January 81, a
young man in students uniform
entered the bolshevik headquarters
at the Smolny Institute and fired at
Lenine.
Premier l.enine and Leon Trotzky

reported by the Semi-official Wolff
bureau early in August to have fled
from Moscow to Kronstadt, the ma

ESPIONAGE LAW WILL
BE STRICTLY ENFORCED
Discretion, However, Is Urged by
Attorney General Gregory
on q. s. Attorneys.

United States attorneys have been
instructed by Attorney General Greg
ory to enforce aggressively the re-
cent amendment to the espionage
act directed at disloyal utterances,
but to take special care not to try to
prevent honest legitimate criticism
of the administration or discussion of
government policies"
1.-THE prompt and aggressive en-
forcement of this act Is Of the, high
est Importance in suppressing dis
loyal utterances and preventing
breaches of peace" said the Attor-
ney General in letters to district at
torneys. ut is also of great impor-
tance that this statute be administer
ed with discretion.
"It should not be permitted to be.
como the medium whereby efforts are
made to suppress honest, legitimate
criticism Of the administration or dis
cussion of government policies; nor
should 1t be permitted to becsme a me-
dium for personal feuds or persecu-
tion. The wide scope of the act and
powers conferred increase the impor-
tance of discretion in administering 1t.
Protection OF loyal persons from un-
just suspicion and prosecution is quite
as important as the suppression Of ac-
tual disloyalty.
"All cases which clearly violate this
law should be promptly and vigorously
prosecuted. but care shosld be exer-
cised to avoid unjustified arrests and
prosecution
