In localities where leaves are OBJ

advisable to make use Of this material
for bedding instead of straw. 1t is a

One of the most effective methods
adopted by food officials has been the
enlistment of women's clubs and other
civic organizations to aid in cleaning
campaigns. 1t is possible under the
best conditions for food inspectors to
visit any one store but q few times
each year. The members Of local or
CARNATIONS and the housewives who
visit the stores daily can exert an eff
fectiye influence for cleanliness once
their interest is aroused and the i'm.
portance of the work pointed out to
them. AS soon as the proprietor Of a
food shop realizes that his customers
will leave him unless he complies with
reasonable sanitary requirements he at
once falls in line.
Federal, State and City Cooperation.
Federal, state and city food officials
cooperate in enforcing laws applicable
to foods and drugs, and in conducting
educational campaigns for cleanliness.
At recent meeting Of the Association
of American Dairy, Food and Drug
officials plans for closer cooperation
were worked out. City food officials
were admitted to membership in the
association and arrangements were
made for the organization of state
associations Of food control officials and
for associations Of sectional groups of
federal, state and city food officials
who have common conditions and COM
mon problems.
The Federal Food and Drugs Act
does not confer authority to regulate
directly the sanitary conditions Of
stores and shops where food is put up
or sold. However, if food becomes
contaminated in an insanitary store
or in any other manner, and is after
ward shipped ilto interstate COM
merce, the party responsible for the
shipment may be prosecuted under the
federal law, and the contaminated food
may be seized.
