WORK OF MISS TINGLE
W03IAX 3IARKET INSPECTOR
TELLS EXPERIENCE.
She Gives Sujrffestlons as to the
Method of Displaying Fruits
In Stores.
Miss Lilian E. Tingle, who was recently
appointed Deputy Health Officer and In
spector of Markets, has been making a
special effort, as the fruit season Is com
ing on, to have the strawberries and otner
small fruits protected from the dust of
the street, an effort in which the market
men express willingness to co-operate, as
they concede that dust and light Injure
the fruit They say, however, that they
fear that If the berries are not placed
where they will attract attention people
will- pass-by without ordering. The in
spector'8 idea, which is very sensible. Is
that a few berries be placed under glass
in front with neat placards giving the
crice of the stock Inside the shop.
Miss Tingle was asked yesterday whetner
the marketmen received her graciously
when they saw her Inspector's star, and
she replied that they usually seemed rather
embarrassed, but told her that they nad
been busy cleaning up, the results of
which cleaning she expects to see upon
future visits. She .has had some Interest
ins talks with butchers and grocerymcn
has heard some protests against the street
hawkers, and also some blame of house
wives, for lack of discrimination, as the
dealers can certainly not be expected to
be as careful in their care and delivery or
sroods if the purchaser is Indifferent
Miss Tingle received a letter yesterday
from. Charles W. Stubbs. an East Side
grocer, who presented the grocer's side
of the market question In a way which
may set some housekeepers to thinking.
Mr. Stubbs'-Tetter--roilows:
Pnrtinn Vav 4. Miss Lillian E. Tlncle.
City Dear Madam: I want to. Indorse the
movement startea Dy me laaies 01 i-ori
lnnrf in insisting unon having clean mar
kets and grocery stores. It has seemed
strange to me that such a movement was
not started beiore. as 1 nave oDservea
exlstlne- conditions for some time. I also
heartily Indorse the "nine" rules laid
down for the conduct of jrrocery stores.
ns T am-esneclallv Interested In-that-busi
ness. Please permit me 10 suggest mat
it would be well for your inspector, as
she goes about her work, to give a word
of encouragement or praise, where such
praiso is due, as it will stimulate us all
along the line of cleanliness in our stores
and markets.
While we are making rules for the gro
cer and market men. please permit me
to suggest a few rules or "don'ts" for
some of our lady customers:
Don't find fault unless you have reason
to. If your .goods please you. say so. as
a word of praise is refreshing in this
day of fault-finders.
Don't exercise your dogs by taking them
with vou to the corner grocery. Exercise
them at some other time. Tne grocery
man has troubles of his own without
having to keep one eye on your dog or
dogs. .
Don't handle fresh fruit roughly, as
The young man "who has no money
ahead and loses his position, fre
quently has to take a poor position
to meet his immediate necessities;
"when, had he some means ahead, he
could have taken time to look for and
secure something better. Our advice
is sensible, save something.

We Fit Your Eyes Scientifically
A great many quacks in the optical business are now beginning
to come here, only to remain during the Fair, and after that will have
to look for new fields. Their reputation, as well as experience,
doesn't amount tp a great deal, nud they care very little whether the
glasses help your eyes so long as they can get your money.
You can't afford to risk your vision.. We are here to stay, and if
we fit your eyes with glasses they will surely benefit you. If they
don't we are here to make them. - .

every bruise will cause the fruit to decay:
then-you would not buy it, and damaged
fruit is a loss to the groceryman.
Don't test the groceryman's butter with
your thumbnail. It doesn't look well, and
then there might be microbes on your
thumb.
Don't expect your grocer to deliver your
goods after business hours, as his days
are long and filled with trials.
Don't ask your grocer to xJo your dray
ing. He has no light to do it. as there
are licensed draymen in the city.
Some of the above don'ts may seem
strange to your committee, but the writer
has had experience along these several
lines.
Thanking you again for your interest
in clean stores and markets, and hoping
that I may be honored with a call from
your Inspector, I am. yours truly.
