LICENSE SYSTEM
ALL FOOD
IS
FOR
HANDLERS
BEING
ADVOCATED
City Health Officer Parrish Is
Seeking Necessary Legislation
From Portland Council.
Regulation of all food handlers
through licenses issued by the city Xu
planned by City Health Officer Parrish, j
who haa announced his endeavor to In-J
duce tha city council to paaa the nec- i
essaryt legislation. -
In many states -the federal govern
ment is carrying on investigation of the
sanitary conditions of food handlers
and in each of these, government of
ficials have already suggested to muni
cipal bodies proper regulatory meas
ures. !Y
A federal food Investigator is how
working in tha state of Washington
and Dr. Parrish is anxious to take nec-
easary steps to insure sanitation in all
establishments where food is handled
before the government is required to
recommend such action. -
Under present conditions. Dr. Parrish
avera that it la virtually impossible to
force food dealers to comply with the
ordnances already in effect. Those who
persist in violating the law profit great
ly thereby and small fines imposed by
the courts do not provide a remedy, he
eays.
Tha legislation which Dr. Parrish
suggest would provide for the control
and regulation, through license of bak
eries, restaurants, kitchens, candy
kitchens, confestioneriea and all other
places where food product are manu
factured, produced, prepared or sold.
The proposed ordinance would also re
quire the physical examination of all
employes of food handlers.
"In my opinion the " only manner In
which to control some food handlers
properly la. by license," said Dr. Par
rish. "Men who now laugh at - small
fines would change their tactics If they
knew their license could be revoked."
Dr. Parrish believes the physical ex-

The reason for" it is that an order

all officers .In tha command would

precaution that should be ' taken.
"Only during the past' week we re
moved a cook from a restaurant in
Portland who waa diseased. In soma
places we have found women afflicted
with tuberculosis. These women should
not be allowed to handle food about to
be consumed by. the public.''

Portland, in which waa enclosed a check
for 1.70. which amount he said was

which should have been paid her aa a
witness in a case heard here last week.
He eays:
"I do not want anything to hinder
me from having a clear conscience. We
must all appear before the Judgment
seat of Christ and there must be Judged
according to our works."

Wednesday Offerings for
"Dbwnstairs" Slioppers
Baker. Or.. March 10. That the rate
of 8.50 per ton on wheat and 6 per ton
on flour, from Pacific coast points to
the Atlantic ' seaboard, ordered ny tne
shipping board, will mean a saving of a
total of $14,000,000 by the wheat grow
ers of Oregon, Washington and Idaho,
la the statement of A. V. Swift of thla
city, who returned Saturday from Wash
ington, where he represented the ' farm
ers of the three states before the ship
ping board in the effort to gain the
action taken. Mr. Swift waa elected at
the meeting of farmers in Spokane to
ness men of the Northwest also attend-!
ed the conference.' The demands of tha (
primary- grain markets . on the same .
basia aa Chicago, waa backed by the
food administration and Mr. Hoover
personally, according to Mr. Swift. The
latter is vice president of tha National
Farmers' union and a member of the
directorate of the Trl-State Terminal j
warehouse. An estimated saving of 20 !
cents a bushel will accrue to the grow- j
ers of the three states he says,' and with
the wheat crop estimated at 70,000,000
bushels, the saving noted will be made.
"Price of wheat waa not considered at
the meeting at all." said Mr. Swift,
"but general opinion from the grain
growing sections of the nation aa a
whole, is that the basis fixed by the
administration is equitable and fair to
all."

Hear Mrs. Craig Talk About
"Neino " Corsets
Wednesday and every day. this week Mrs. A. L. Craig, authorized
instructor of the Nemo Hygienic-Fashion Institute of New York, will
give FREE a series of talks on Nemo Corsets. Some of the points
covered by Mrs. Craig:
WHAT IS NEMO HYGIENIC STYLE
SERVICE? It is the term used to designate
the 'scientific manner in which. Nemo corsets
work, to improve both health and style.
HOW DO NEMO CORSETS CORRECT
FIGURE FAULTS? By giving support where
needed, freedom where health demands it, and
by controlling flesh without undue pressure.
WHY IS NEMO STYLE BEST? Because
healthful beauty is the Nemo ideal, and the
Nemo way is to conform the lines of fashion
with the laws of health.
WHY ARE NEMO CORSETS SO COM
FORTABLE? Because they have, special sup
porting features,' and every Nemo' corset gives
, complete freedom over the diaphragm, for
" deep, breathing and good circulation.
WHY ARE NEMO CORSETS FAMOUS
FOR DURABILITY? Because only the finest
material Is used in their manufacture, and
every single piece is scientifically tested for
strength and durability."
Come m and consult with 'Mrs. Craig
Wednesday. - We have fine stocks of Nemo
corsets from 3. 50 upward. .
