Keefer, whose matrimonial troubles brought her sharply before the public eye recent ly, is overcome with horror at pre vailing conditions. “I have been told,” she said Satur day morning, as she balanced a plate on her forearm and deftly wiped it with a clean towel, ‘‘that I’m down here in this place raising hell. But I’m not. I’m elevating It, for in my humble opinion that’s the proper name for the average Atlanta res taurant.” Such being the case. Mrs. Keefer advances a number of reformative measures which she says will curb the activities of the microbe and thwart the purposes of the advancing army of cockroaches, which have a finger, speaking figuratively, in every pie cut in an Atlanta restaurant.

Legislate sanitation and hygiene into every restaurant. 4 Make people quit preparing food with their hands. *‘I make no secret of the fact that I’m an uplifter,” she said, ‘‘but I’m not the ordinary uplifter. I’m trying to strike at the root of human happ!- j ness and ambition, and it lies in the stomach.

May 8tir Up Trouble. ‘‘I don’t kno wwhether I’m going to accomplish anything by working in these restaurants, but if I can ac complish what I’m after I’ll stir up a lot of trouble for the men who own these restaurant buildings. They ar rt the first people we must get after in the campaign for better kitchens. They rent buildings for restaurant* purposes that are not fit to be rented as stables. The walls are filled with nesting places for microbes ~nd in sects, and ideas of cleanliness appear to be almost unknown. There ought to be a law putting any man in Jail who rents such a building for eating purposes. “The right kind of a restaurant should have concrete walls and a con crete floor and concrete tables, where no insects and microbes can breeu. The floors should be divided into sec tions, with drains running through each section, so that portions of il can be thoroughly cleaned at any timi without interfering with the other sections. For Restaurant Inspector. ‘‘And afier all the property owner* are put in jail and the restaurant buildings are fitted properly for res taurants. we should have a public res taurant inspector to see that they are kent clean. We have a Smoke In spector—though he doesn’t se^m to do much inspecting; and a Fire Inspector and a Building Inspector, and an in spector for everything under the sun except the very thing that needs one.” Mrs. Keefer says she has not for saken the ease and comfort of her Continued on Page 2, Column 7. Nation-Wide Campaign of Arson Begun by Militants as Mrs. Pankhurst Is Jailed, Special Cable to The American. LONDON, Dec. 6.—The suffragettes began in earnest to-day to carry out their threat of nation-wide incen diarism in revenge for the arrest of Emmeline Pankhurst.
