Barnard, state food and drug commissioner, has issued warning to dealers in Christmas candles to keep the display under glass to protect it from dust and dirt as required by law. “The season Is approaching” said Mr. Barnard, “when large quantities of Christmas candles will be Such goods can not be displayed except under glass unless in violation of the law. “Wq have had practically no occasion to speak of this matter since last year, and hope that the conditions which have prevailed during the summer season will prevail during the rush season. The reasons which now make It necessary to cover the candles eleven months out of the year are very much more urgent during the Christmas rush when the stores are being tramped by an increased number of people there is a very general consumption of sweets among all classes.”
