TRICK BUTTER THIS

GREAT MAJORITY or SAMPLES
or MILK TESTED IN MAY
WERE ALL RIGHT.
CONDENSED MIX Of SKINNED Articss-
Corrosive subiirste for Faos Of
seau,y-Poi Shops Improves But
Might Sc Better.

Food Commissioner Shorey in the
month OF May found IS samples Of
milk from diaries up to or above
standard, also milk tested in one res
taurant and for two private parties
He found IL samples. including three
in restaurants, below the standard.
Three cases were successfully pro-
secuted in the district court, two fines
of $50 each being imposed and SEN
tence in one case suspended.
Regarding many samples of con-
densed milk examined the Commits
sioEer says.
Pearl bought from the Triangle
store is without question made from
skinned milk. Winner is a cheaper
which manufactures the Eagle; and
Rose is a cheaper grade made by the
same company as Milkmaid. These
are made either from partially SKIM
med or an inferior grade of milk.
Rose. Nlkmaid and Sunnyside are
warranted to be made from unskim-
med milk; the others from pure
milk
Trick tins for holding butter have
been discovered Mr. Shorey says:
Zone sample of timed butter was
found to be genuine butter; but the
can in which the butter was contain.
ed was found to have false or raised
bottom; the bottom being raised half
an inch above the lower edge of the
can; SO that while the can appeared
to hold 9. pound in reality it held only
| eleven and a half ounces At first
glance it might appear that the term
adulteration could hardly be applied
to the container; but since the law
says that food shall be considered
adulterated If by any means it il
made to appear better or of greater
value than it really is, I think the
term can be rightly applied in the
case of a container with a raised OF
false bottom. The butter in question
was labeled Cold Brook Creamery
Preserved Butter. c. E. Whitney, Sole
Agents S. F. This butter was found
in the Triangle and Makiki stores
The Commissioner had his attention
called to face lotions containing CO
rosive sublimate.
Mrs. Harrison's Face Bleach pre-
pared by ldrs. Nettie Harrison, S. F.
was found to contain nine grains Of
corrosive sublimate per fluid ounce.
The sale of such preparations without
la poison label is q matter / thinl
demanding some attention.
i Another subject of general interes
is then touched:
| II have had many inquiries re1a
10 inf M
from feeding dairy cows with brew
cry grain am at present investigat
ing the matter and can only say tina
my opinion is that when such graiI
! is fed under conditions no injuriou!
results need be expected"
i Many complaints had been made
during the month of rosy" or wis
cous" milk This is really a milk dis
ease and not the result of adultera
. ton The cause of this disease ha
been thoroughly studied in Europ'
by Lister, Due Laux, Hueppe, Loeffle
and other psychologists and has beef
found, to be caused by a number o
/. closely related species of bacteria
1t is generally difficult to determine
the origin of this disease in any give
; case, but generally its presence ma
be taken as an indication of lack o
cleanline IS on the part of the dairy
man. : Milk of this kind had so ia
been traced to but two diaries. MI
Shorey knows of no case where mil
of this kind has been found to be az
tually injurious.
ii The Commissioner finds some in
, provement in the sanitary condition c
Chinese poi shops. He thinks tn
: greatest fault to be found with tn
I poi m ide in these places is the resul
: of the uucleanly conditions unde
, which it is made Ii some cases dil
!, eased taro was found and the propr
: etors were warned to be more Garrett
9 in the future He concludes on thi
D matter: Il have at various time
: heard complaints that Chinese poi mi
kers were in the habit of adding som,
, thing to the poi to increase its vo
ume, but | have examined many ps
+ shops and many samples of poi witt
' out securing any evidence of this b,
! ing the case"
