The state law providing for the
screening of fruit stands will be en-
forced in Houston, according to M.
Anthony of Denton, assistant to Dr.
J. S. Abbott, dairy and pure food
commissioner for Texas. Mr. Anth-
ony was in Houston Monday and
Tuesday and warned the fruit ven-
dors of the law infraction and in-
structed them that screens must be
at once provided. This law should
not only be enforced in Houston,
but in Texas City, Galveston Beau-
mont, San Antonio, and in every
town, village, hamlet and country
store where an article of food is of-
fered for sale. The housefly is the
most dangerous insect pest we have
to contend with, and the laws which
tend to prevent his breeding and
contamination of food supplies
should be rigorously enforced.

growth during the coming year will
be many times greater than last

past year have made nice advances,

growth of the city, will be much
greater for the coming year than
