Harrisburg, Oct 16.-Since the sue
cessful raids against the viOators of
the pure food laws in Philadelphia and
Pittsburg Governor Stone and the Of
ficials OF the department OF agriculture
have received many complimentary
letters from farmers and dairymen
who appreciate the fact that the Illicit
traffic in oleomargarine has practically
been broken up.
Governor Stone is determined to
drive from the state or into states
prison all who violate the law which
was framed to protect the makers of
butter and the consumers as well
against the dishonest dealers who sell
oleomargarine cUlored in imitation of
butter as the genuine product Of the
dairy.
