| Show possibly one ot 0 the worst habits is is that ot of spitting on the public sidewalks and mote more especially upon the paved sidewalks the evils of this habit are intensified at tills this particular time of the year when the flies are swarming over everything ever thing taking a special dell delight lit in groveling in filth vi 1 I ej in larger cities there is an ordinance making expectorating expect orating on paved sidewalks a misdemeanor punishable by a fine and the laws governing this offense are strictly enforced there are some persons in this city or otherwise who have a habit of sitting on the railing in front of 0 the first national bank and post office and on the window sills 0 of the entire building and peacefully chew their tobacco making a regular pool of filth in the corners and on the stairway leading down to the news office we have called attention to this condition before but the evil still exists not being addicted to the habit of chewing tobacco we are perhaps not in n a position to judge as to the joys that the practice gives but this much we ve do know inow there is nothing very beautiful nor pleasing about a beepat pavement where a crowd of men amen or boys have deposited a liberal supply of the masticated weed to those who abhor the habit such a sight is nauseating and there is little wonder that property oi owners ners object to having their premises thus oe smeared we hale haie had bad people come right into our office and spit tobacco juice all over the linoleum on the floor which had to be mopped up after they left and this is perhaps the ence of 0 many to those who insist on oil chewing the filthy weed a suggestion might not be amiss chew it if you nill but always refrain from expectorating expect orating on the paved sidewalks at least for there is a great majority which includes every lady in the community who sicken at tile the sight and their feelings ought to he be respected |
