[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] Sm,—The timely article, "
A Crusade for Clean Food," in your issue of June 23rd should make each one of us realize our personal responsibility in the matter. As Mrs. Allhusen has frequently pointed out, individual men and women can help by insisting on reasonable cleanliness among their own tradesmen and by educating their neighbours to do likewise.
Tactful suggestions about muslin covers for cakes, cheese, ham, fruit, &c., exhibited in shop windows, or on counters, will not be resented from regular customers, and a kindly word of praise when such improvements are introduced gives the satisfaction that ensures continuance. The question of wrapped bread is more complicated. Few individual bakeries will go to the expense or trouble of this novelty until there is a general demand for it ; the only effective means therefore lies in legislation.—I am, Sir, &c., A. CutsTr.n.
