Food Stuff Displayed On Side Walk Must Be proteeted.

An act of t-last legislature provide that food products must be se Curely protected from flies, dust- and otheii injurious contamination. The state hoaTd of health has given notice that this provision of the'law will be enforced and has issued the following order: Fruits, vegetables, and other food products must not be displayed of stored on the sidewalk or outside the place of business unless they are securely covered by cases of glass, wood or metal or enclosed in tight boxes, bags or barrels, and all such cases or containers shall be raised at least two feet above the sidewalk. The praotice heretofore followed of covering small fruits with screens or nettings is not a sufficient compliance with this order. This order shall not, however, apply to fruits and vegetables which have to be skinned or peeled before use and which are stored in tight barrels, boxes or crates.
