IN SEASON THIS WEEK
Once again we feel impelled to draw public attention to the fact that it is BIOST UNWISE to serve 'uncooked lettuce, or any kind of salad containing uncooked to- matoes, or spring onions, or any vegetable such as radish which has not been steeped in boiling water.

We were horrified the other day to find shredded lettuce as a de- coration for cold meat when din- ing at a small hotel. Any con- tamination could have spread to the meat even if the diners did not actually consume the lettuce.
Cholera is not yet over, and in view of the abnormal number of refugees who will soon arrive it behoves the public to do every- thing possible to help the medical authorities.
A delicious and safe salad can be made with cooked tomatoes. silced when cold and steeped in vinegar and combined with an equal amount of sliced potatoes.
