CLEAN FOOD SHOPS Cleanliness and Sanitation in CJro. eery Stores Essential to Wholesome Food Supply. . .The officials of many Stages are giving attention to the sanitary condition of country and city grocery stores, according to the officials engaged In the enforcement of ?he Federal Food and Drug Act who recently have Investigated the matter. The country store is oth a collecting and distributing agency of foods. ?lt seels foods ol many kinds fco the fanners and at the same time buys .'rom them for shipment to the city butter, eggs, fruits, vegetables, poultry and othei products of the farm. If t''e shelves and counters are laden,with dust, il cobwebs hang In every nook atvl corner. If flies, bugs and vermin :n habit the place, the fond prouct? are certain to be more or less contain tnated and ikely to become dangerous to health. The reports from various Stat0 officials indicate that many stores have been found in the past to be in such a condition. A clean, light, well-ventilated s^ore attracts customers, and the progressive merchant needs no other incentive to keep his floor, shelves and counters spotlessly clean, which includes screening from flies and {helmination of all other insects. Some storekeepers, however, seem to roOHire prodding from the food-andhealth officials to Induce them to maintain that degree of cleanliness which v'll insure that the food they handle will i? free from contamination. Some of the States have effective sanitary laws, which require frequent inspection of nil establishments where foodstuffs are pnf no, manufactured, or kept for selo. Other States depend upon the general provisions of the pure-food laws which require the foods shall he froo from contamination.' A few of the Sfato' lack eithter a la wthnt will reach the unclean-nuisance or means for onforcing the law. Cooperate for Cleanliness. State food and health officials hnv used various means f-n contro' effort, ively the sanltarv condition of places where foodstuffs are sold One of thin ost effective means that has beer empioyen is mar or scciitjur "i - ... operation of women's Hubs and clvlr organizations. When a delegation n| women customers calls upon n mer chant and suppestts that hr> clean urt he Is compelled to put his store in . (rood condition and to 1tonn it so When the procerymen in town find that a larpe portion of the house keepers are buyinrr onlv from th' cleanest stores. there arises a wholesome f"r:n "rrm f't'c x food .Inspector can. under even th. he<?f conditions. Inspect a store but a few tinms durinp the year, because of the number he has tovisit. The enstomers come every day. however, and when they act as unofficial sanitary Inspectors the merchant with flic unclean store can not escapo detection and punishment in loss of trade. Competition In cleanlinoss has boon secured In one State by means oi colored placards which the inspector elves the merchants who keep their stores in a sanitary condition. A store in excellent condition pets a larpe white placard, one in fine con. ditlon pets a blue placard, and one In pood condition pets a red plaeanrd: the store that falls below the latter pradinp pets no card. The proprietors are permitted to keep the placards posted in a consplcious niece as lonp as the store Is kept in the condition represented. There Is keen competition arnonp the merchants to pef and keep the host placards. The huyinp public knows what the different colored placards sipnify and are particularly partial to the white vooorH of Aeon Of hnr Qfnf aq V* o \m adopted a score-card system similar to that used In grading dairies. Tim Inspector scores each shore where foodstuffs are sold according to certain points indicated on an Inspection card. The scores are made public through the local press or bby means of bulletins or circulars. Slote liiins Control Sfore Sanitation The sanitary condition of stores Is sujert to State or local control. 'The Federal Food and Drug Act has no Jurisdiction over such matters, except as to foods and drugs sold In the District of Columbia, the Territories and Insular possessions, which are under the direct control of the Federal Government. However, If food becomes contaminated In an unsanitary store or in any manner and Is afterwards shipped Into Interstate commerce. the party responsible for the shipment may be prosecuted under the Federal law, and the consignment may be seized.
