Must Drink Your Sodas From Paper Cups Hereafter.

The common cup or glass at soda fountains and lemonade stands must go, unless hot water is used to wash pnd sterilize it. This decree has been issued by H. E. Barnard, state food and drug- commissioner. Unless the glasses are washed with hot running water the sanitary paper cups must be used and then destroyed after once used. Mr. Barnard proposes to make an aggressive campaign against unsanitary lemonade stands at county fairs and carnivals. “Employes in ice cream parlors and soda fountains shall be cleanly in person and dress, free from infectious and contagious disease and trained in the conduct of their work,” reads the instructions which are being issued to state, city and county food inspectors and health officers.

Instructions are also being given concerning the cleaning of refrigerators. Straws used in soda fountains must be kept in suitable containers, protected from dust and dirt.
