Warning Is Issued To Beer Dispensers Dispensers of beer were warned to- day by C. 8. Ladd, state food commis- sioner and chemist, that all glasses, mugs and similar containers used in serving beverages must be thoroughly cleaned and sterilized before being used again for such purposes. Proper cleansing to remove adhering material, including a large proportion of any infectious material that may be present, Ladd said, must be followed by one of two methods of sterilizing to reduce to a minimum the possible transmission of communicable dis- eases. The state food commissioner recom- mended that glasses, mugs or other containers be immersed for not less than two minutes in clean, hot water maintained to a temperature of at least 170 degrees fahrenheit, or that the containers be immersed in a chlorine solution containing not less than 200 parts per million of avail- able chlorine when first prepared, and not less than 50 parts per million of available chlorine at any time there- after while the solution is used for this purpose. Containers should be inverted and allowed to drain after sterilization, Ladd said. Hand drying with the use of towels is not recommended. i i i =F fil 4 5 F é re E § ! 3 i af i ; i i ii i i i Contracts Let for | Road Work in State Jobs Are Not Awarded Because! © PROVINCES REVOLT Reign Is Ended By Assassin ~ The four-year reign of King Nadir Khan, above, hailed as “The Savior of Afghanistan,” was ended with his assassination by an unnamed person said to be a trusted friend who turned traitor.

With Havana province quiet, except for occasional scattered skirmishing, and Matanzas and Camaguey prov- inces quiet though tense, trouble was reported in Santa Clara and Oriente. Hurrying to put down the new dis- orders, army forces exchanged shots with a band of rebels in the town of Matagua, Santa Clara province, tak- ing four prisoners and wounding one rebel. Meanwhile, the city of Santa Clara remained under a state of sieze through the night as army machine- gunners patrolled the outskirts. Telephone and telegraph communi- cation service in Camaguey was dis- rupted, despite feverish efforts to re- store normal conditions. Colonel Fulgencio Batista, army chief of staff whose forces put down the rebellion in which an estimated 150 were slain Wednesday and Thurs- day, planned to resume Saturday the trial of 34 soldiers charged with fo- menting the outbreak at Camp Col- umbia.
