opened my eyes
First, the fl.hy. sloppy state OF the whole

was most disgusting. All the glasses and
spoons were hastily put in tank OF dirty
cold water. rinsed in 1t and quickly set out
again for the next customers.
We all know that dirty cold water does
not remove germs from anything. We all
know. too, that there are many people who
might have infectious disorders Of the
mouth, also many children who are not
clean, and Il Is against this great danger
OF disease germs that proper cleansing OF
utensils should be required
After seeing the conditions back 'of th'
