SHOPMEN'S VIEWS

Grocers and market owners of the city are expressing their opinions concerning the plan of the board of health to put all fruits, vegetables and meats under glass, very freely.
 J. NJ. Stuart. proprietor of the Wash ington Market, believes that the law, should it be passed will be impractical and impossible to enforce.
 ITO force markets to take this action will be to begin at the little end of the horn." said Mir Stuart "The logical be- Morris avenue, where meat and produce condition The precautions should cer reaches the retailer Screens, glass where practical, disinfectants, good re- frigeration and crub brushes should do the work
 "The Birmingham Market is heartily in sympathy with pr. Dowlng's work. says F. H. Cunningham. We shall CO., operate with his because we desire all the protection we can get. It is true, he continued, that this extra expense for the merchants will force prices still higher for the consumer"
 Charles Jacobson of Tanners meat mar ket says Glass cases for meat are prac- tical and good fixtures to have, but for some things they are a nuisance. People want to choose for themselves a head of lettuce or a bunch of carrots. Further more. all vegetables are cooked, pared or washed. thus destroying any germs which might have developed.
 At the Sanitary Market Mrs. Harry Norris said she could speak for her hus- of merchants appointed to investigate the m tter

MERCHANTS COMPLY. WITH DISPLAY LAW; HAVE M|SGIV|NGS.
Report CO-Opera- tiOn = Merchants Say Clean Up Morris Ave
 nue-Prices Higher

Men who represent the department of healths bureau of food and dairy in spection report willingness on the part of green goods and other food stores to comply with the new city ordinance gov ernng the sale of foods.
 Several meat shops have already or dered refrigerator showcases for the eX- h,biting of cuts of meat, and as soon as they arrive will have all their wares un- der glass and thoroughly protected from contamination.
 Similar cases will be installed by fruit stands. though the refrigerator feature of the glass cases is optional with the mer- chant. The citys only interest is that the foods must be fresh and sound and shielded from dust. flies. cough spray and other sources of infection.
 The limit set for arranging stores for compliance with the law is thirty days following which arrests and prosecutions will follow noncompliance with the law.
 Bakeries and candy stores are equally liable with the other merchants who sell prepared or raw foods of any descrip- ton that is to be offered for human use.

 MANY BEGGARS
 Miss Downs had discussed the mat ter with Dr. Brown and one or two friends for the presence Of so many beggars on the streets had given rise to no little speculation, especially as there are several well-conducted orgaui- zations for relief for the poor in the city, all of which make a point of se- curing work for people who arc able to make a gainful living, while carefully taking care of those who really are unable to help themselves,
 In speaking of the test that had been made of the situation by the secre- tary of his department. Dr. Walter S. Brown said it showd plainly that charity should be handled in a thoughtful way just like any other business. or imposters would get the benefit of the publics misplaced kind ness.
 Ut is my belief" said Dr. Browrt that undeserving people collect enough money annually to support or ganized charity Just figure it out for yourself. If one beggar collects, say but s2 an hour, and most of them are in sight ten hours a day, that would be SEQ al day each. There are at least twenty of them in Birmingham now, or have been scattered about the city for the past several weeks, getting, do believe. at lt<st $400 a day, at a conservative minimum, from our kind ly disposed people. What couldn't my department do with such a sum for the enemic babies, destitute moth CTS and pitiful old men That look to the meagre means thy department has with which to give them relief.

CONSUMER PAYS

''T-he consumer will have to pay in the end. she etated. We shall have to charge perhaps 10 cents more per pound for meat in order to pay for the equip ment. However, if it comes to the test we shall comply as cheerfully as possi- ble.''
 Hilrs Help Yourself stores express their opinion through F. II. Brazenmore, one of the managers. He says: 'I am in sym pathy with the idea as a movement for absolute cleanliness, but it is my belief that glass showcases over everything would be detrimental to trade and incon- venient for the customers"
 ''Piggly-Wiggly stores would find such an arrangement easier to cope with than the average grocer" said T. S. Cham bless, "but even so it would detract from the convenience of our methods"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-03-20
IMPOSTERS

"of course. people have right to do what they will with their own and there is keen pleasure in helping others, but unless such help is given through trained workers, who can see to it that the deserving are helped such large percentage of it merely goes to fatten the bank accounts of we'll to do impostors'
 Today the department of relief and correction will take up with the po lice the matter of finding out just exactly what is the status of the people here who sit at prominent corners and collect their daily s25 and $50 from the thoughtless populace.
 Miss Downs has been highly compli- mented by the authorities for her nerve and enterprise, and the capable way she got at the facts.
 The money she collected has been turned over to the charity fund
