Sanitation In Food Stores

n the Editor Of the Evening Public Ledger:
sir-There is an ordinance In our city
laws to the effect that all food on stands
along the streets must be covered by mos
quito netting or some other means OF pro-
tsetins It from the files. but during a recent
trip in the western and southern sections OF
the city I saw all these stands exposed. with
no protection from flies or the dust OF the
street or from any one who might wish to
handle II. think It Is q mistake to allow
fruit stands on the street. for they are reg
uar disease breeders. and I think there
should be an ordinance in which all fruit
and vegetable places. as well as meats.
should have screened doors and windows
and everything should be covered as a pro-
tsction from the fiies.
II this Is city law. why Is II not en-
forcsd7 Surely policemen can see condi-
tlons as well as pedestrians. 1t IL not only
condition to be found in the sections
named. but In every part OF the city. and
right In tho center OF the city. even within
sight OF the City Hall. Public health should
b protected to the extent OF compelling
these stands TO meet the requirements OF the
law. and the laws should be SO stringent
that there can be no possibility OF breeding
disease. s. l.. HASTINGS.

Paying OF Mortqaue

To the Editor OF, the Evening Public Ledger:
Sir-A man has mortgage on n house.
and the mortgage reads for Ave years. with
the privilege Of ten years. II It could be
paid off sooner, would tho man giving the
mortgage have the right to mako you wait
tho ten years before the mortgage could be
paid off? s. i. ROWLAND.
Philadelphia. September Q. 1921.
When a mortgage is made for a certain
number of years 1t cannot be paid off within
such period unless the man giving the mort
gage is willing to add the interest for the
entire specified timn. But In this case II
would appear that the privilege OF renewal
or extension to ten years Is for the benefit
Of tho mortsagee. Much would depend upon
the wording OF this privilege. The question
does not state whether tho five years have
elapsed. II the fiye years have elapsed, the
mortgage can be paid of at the expiration
Of the time.

THE UNFURLING OF THE FLAG

Just as daylight had begun.
Message thrilling.
Hopes fulfilling
To those fighting o. 'er the seas.
IT'S the flag we've named Old Glory
That's unfurling to the breeze"
Can YOU see the flashing emblem
OF our country'b high ideal7
Keep your lifted eye upon It
And draw Joy and courage from It.
For It stands for what Is real,
Freedoms calling.
To the falling
From oppresstons hard DEGREES.
It's the fisg we've named Old Glory
You see floating In the breeze.
Glorious flag we raise so proudly.
Stars and Stripes. red, white and blue.
You have been the inspiration
OF an ever-growing nation
Such as this world never knew.
Peace and Justice.
Freedom. progress.
Are the blessings we can seize
When the flag we call Old Glory
Is unfurTing to the breeze.
When the cry of battling nations
Reaches US across the space
OF the. wild. tumultuous ocean
Hearts are stirred with deep emotion
For the saving OF the race.
Peace foregoing.
Aid bestowing.
First we drop on bonded knees;
Then with shouts our grand Old Glory
We set Haunting to tho breeze.
