erly LahAlSo.

Des MOines, Ia, June 1.-THE Iowa
supreme court has affirmed a decision
of the lower court prohibiting the sale
of colored oleomargarine unless the
state dairy laws are complied with.
The suit was brought by the Iowa

ture OF test. The ArmOurs contend
ed that their Oleomargarine was made
the color of yellow utter through nat
ural processes in its manufacture and
that therefore their dealers We're not
compelled to exhibit the label.

The supreme court holds that il is not
enough for the packing company to
prove that their OleOmargarine is made
yellow through natural process. but
that it is violation of the state law
to sell any color and kind of oIeo-
margarine without the label.
