MEDICAL EXAMINATION OF EMPLOYEES. THE NATIONAL BOTTLERS’ GAZETTE OF AMERICA STATES: ‘ Good Health of employees in establishments handling food products—and that includes soft drinks —is as essential a factor in producing pure products, as is the observance of sanitary regulations about the premises.” “Food and health authorities in various sections of the country are insisting upon periodical medical examination of employees. The latest movement in this direction is reported from Uniontown, Pa., where the health officer has issued a statement that waitresses and girls employed in confectionery and soda shops who do not submit to the required examination will be discharged.” “The advantage of employing only such people in a bottling plant as have a clean bill of health is apparent to the progressive manufacturer of carbonated beverages who is striving to build up a reputation for quality and purity, and medical inspection should be welcomed and encouraged. Those who keep in touch with the progress of sanitary measures as applied to the soft drink industry foresee, in the near future, the strengthening of State and local bottling laws and regulations by the addition of sections providing for the careful medical examination of all bottling shop employees. This realisation of highest ideals of sanitation cannot come too soon, if the industry is to attain and command the position it is striving to hold in the eyes of the public.” America gets the reputation of being the most up-to-date country in the world. They are beginning to realise the importance and necessity of having healthy employees where food products are handled. It should interest the New Zealand public to know that America is advocating a reform which was introduced many years ago by Thomson’s Ltd., carbonated water manufacturers, whose employees are regularly medically examined in order that customers may be assured that said employees are free from infectious disease.

Mi 379 THE WILL AND THE WAY. No. 17.—Saving of Time, Trouble, and Cost. Half a century’s experience in all work connected with wills and the administration of estates is at the service of the public in business relations with the Public Trust Office. In recent years a policy has been adopted which has provided for decentralisation to the widest possible extent consistent with safety. The Office of each District Public Trustee has been made as self-contained as possible, and thus the work of the districts has been greatly facilitated. Wherever and whenever it is possible to save time the Public Trustee has the right knowledge and the right equipment to save it, and in saving time he also avoids trouble and keeps costs at a minimum. Efficiency is secured by specialisation of the work and by prompt attention to detail by well-qualified officers. The result is that the Public Trust Office has won the confidence of the public.
