GR0CERS PAY FINES.
Uhfermented Grape Juice Is Only
SaIisyIic Acid.

From Thursdays Daily.
j. G.. Fowler, state food inspector,
has procured warrants for the arrest of
four of the local grocerymen on the
charge of selling what purports to be
unfermenter grape juice, whereas at is a
mixture of salisylic acid and other in
gradients injurious to health. One of
these merchants appeared in the NUM-
cipal court this morning and pleaded
guilty and paid fine of $25 and costs,
which is the minimum penalty under the
state law. The other three are expected
to appear and pay their fines.
MIR. Fowler states that the merchants
are innocent parties so far as having
any knowledge that they were selling
other than the genuine grape juice, but
they must suffer in order that the job
bers or manufacturers who sold the stuff
can be made to suffer. 1t is expected
that these parties will refund to the
merchants the amount of the fines.
The food department is waging a
strong warfare against the sale of un-
healthful articles of food, and in the
twin cities it has had number of saloon
keepers arrested and fined for selling
bogus blackberry brandy.
Mr.. Fowler states that the grocers
are making a strong fight against the
sale of impure food in the state and are
cooperating with the food department,
and he hopes that their patrons will not
get wrong impression from the arrests.
The latter is part of a process of driving
impure manufactures out of the state.
