‘| and preparation of food should in any
Public Drinking Cup Prohib-
é ited.
The public has an unquestionable |
right to demand cleanliness from the
proprietors of public eating houses
and that proper precautions be used
in cleansing the dishes and utensils
used in the preparation of foods and
in the service.
The wiser and more far sighted
restaurateurs for several years past
have carried out every reasonable
sanitary precaution and the growing
number of spotlese white tiled eat-
ing houses where the food is pre-
pared in a cleanly fashion under
the eyes of the patrons, is a sufficient
evidence of tbe fact that this care
and attention is appreciated by the
public. There is no reasen why the
demand for decency in the serving
way increase its cost.’’
The full text of the rules and reg-
ulations above mentioned is as fol-
lows:
First: ‘‘Those responsible for es-
tablishing or conducting any public
drinking place in the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania are hereby forbidden
to furnish or permit others to fur-
nish or keep any common drinking
vessel for common use at any such
drinking place provided this rule and
regulation shall not preclude the use
of vessels which are cleansed by
washing in boiling water or are dis-
infected or destroyed after individual
use. Public places within the mean-
ing of this regulation shall include
common carriers, private, public,
parochial or Sunday schools, indus-
tries, factories, theatres, shops,
offices, hotels, ete.
Second: ‘‘No person, persons or
corporation within the Common-
wealth of Pennsylvania shall furnish
for public use any towel unless such
towel be laundered or discarded
after each individual use.”’
Third: ‘‘Barbers are hereby for-
bidden to use a common brush for
brushing the eyes of their patrons
unless such brush be disenfected af-
ter each individual use.
Fourth: ‘‘Proprietors of persons
in charge of public eating places are
hereby fordidden to use drinking
vessels, dishes, spoons knives, forks
finger bowls, and other eating uten-
sils which have not been thoroughly
cleansed after each individual vse.”’
Fifth: ‘‘All physicians practicing
within the limits of the State shall
make an immediate report of each
and every case of scabies and im-
petigo-contagiosa.’’
(The penalty which the Act of
April 27th, 1905, provides for the
failure to observe them is as follows:)
Section 16. Every person who vio-
lates any order or regulation of the
Department of Health, or who re-
sists or interferes with any officer or
agent therefore in the performance
of his duties in accordance with
the regulations and orders of the
Department of Health, shall be deem
ed guilty of a misdemeanor, and
shall, upon conviction thereof, be
punished by a fine of not more than
one hundred dollars, or by imprison-
ment not exceeding one month, or
both, at the discretion of the court.

Look Here for it.
Many a Meyersdale Reader will
Be Interested.
When people read about the cures
made by a medicine endorsed from
far away, is it surprising that they
wonder if the statements are true?
But when - they read of cases right
here at home, positive proof is within
their reach, for close investigation is
an easy matter. Read the Meyers-
dale endorsement of Doan’s Kidney
Pills. /
Mrs. C. Merrill, 336 Keystone St.,
Meyersdale, Pd says: ‘‘I had nearly
all the symptoms of kidney trouble.
Backache, chills,” dizzy spells and
headaches annoyed me and I got
worse as time passed. My ankles
swelled and I knew that something
must be done. Doan’s Kidney Pills
were so highly recommended that I
commenced using them. The pains
were soon relieved and my health
improved greatly. Last fall I used
Doan’s Kidney Pills again and they
helped me promptly. This remedy is
the best one I' have ever taken for
kidney disorders’and I have no ob-
jection whatever, to the continued
publication of the endorsement 1 have
given before.”
For sale by all dealers. Price 50
cents. Don’t simply ask for a kid-
ney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney
Pills- the same that Mrs. Merrill
had. Foster-Milburn Co., Props.,

CHRISTMAS FIXING.
Smart Belongings Sure to be
Acceptable.
« The above designs are by The McCal'
.ompany, New York, Designers anc
lakers of McCall Patterns.
New York, Dec., 6.
To judge from the fashionably at-
tired crowds now thronging all the
smart stores and small Specialty
Shops, one might suppose that every
other woman’s sight was affected,
by nearly cveryone wears lorgnettes
or a monocle suspended from a jew-
elled chain or modish ‘‘Sautour’’.
This latter is usually of. black moire
bibbon and its mountings simple or
elaborate us taste and purse permit.
The girlish contingent prefer the
monocle io the lorngnettss, though
when the latter are closed the effect
of both are similar. The circular
form i> the popular choice, the
glasses quite unprotected, and rim-
med with shell, silyer, aluminum,
gold, or platinum. . Prices vary from
$1.95 for an aluminum mono-
cle to figures in the hundreds where
lorgnette and Sautour mountings are
set with diamonds and othér small
but brilliant stones. Tango slipper
sets are new and very smart, trans-
forming any plain slipper with their
brilliant rhinestone settings and cros--
strapped ‘fastenings. These also
come in a wide range of prices.
AN ENGLISH FASHION.
English lidics@yhen off on the long
walks that they enjoy, carry a small
cane, and this idea is’ taken up to
some extent by American girls and
women. Very sporty and attractive
are some little canes of snakewood,
with carved dog’s heads; having
flexible jaws, daintily silver mount-
ed which are selling for $1.50 on
Fifth Avenue.
Bracelet watches are increasingly
worn and come in many new and
attractive mountings. They are
mounted on heayy straps of black
moire ribbon rather than on leather
for general use, though the leather
strap still keeps its place. There is
no limit to the elegance and extrav-
agance of the mountings of these
most convenient time pieces. Flex-
ible bracelets of woven gold or plati-
num set with precious stones, and
the watch similarly ornamented,
carry these up to any limit desired
in elaboration and price.
HAND BAGS AND PURSES.
The hand bag of moire silk that
finishes at the bottom with a long
silk tassel is evidently a favorite.
One of these comes with a watch in-
serted, face out, and nearly all of
them have mirrors, change purses
and card cases included in their fit-
tings. Saddle bag purses and bags
with convenient double compartmen’s
made up in soft suede, silk and vel-
vets, and for elaborate wear there
is no end to the bead and tinsel em-
broideries employed to render the:e
attractive. With the vogue for col-
ored bead embroideries, all the old
time bead purses and bags are once
more to the fore in fashionable usage.
DRESSING TABLE FIXINGS.
The modishness of all sorts of dress-
ing table fixings, drdped in fancy
silks and laces and madejeyen more
ornate with tiny flowers of silk and
metal ribbon, shows clevér copy-cats
away to utilize the odds and ends in
the piece bag to considerable ad-
vantage. An. ordinary salts bottle
draped in tinsel net over rose color
and garlanded with tiny silk flowers,
is marked at a” prohibitive figure
for the ordinary purse, but is not a
bit difficult to copy, at very small ex-
pense. Little cushions that are also
sachets made of satin and surronnded
by ruches of lace are similarly or-
namented and priced.
