ssss Attention is again called to thu
GLASS Of goods shipped into the statt
MY outside mail order houses. Par
sticular attention has been giver
4, tthese good recently and while
N some Of the samples analysed have
proven legal the percentage q
\ those which have been condemned
ID altogether too high. These are
\ not old samples which were sent
into the state before the pure food
law became effective. They have
been secure in the past ninety days
and represent the kind Of goods
that may be- sod when the food
laws cannot reach the guilty parties.
The rigid enforcement Of our
state law has, in measure, worked
lhardship upon the country merchant
in his campaign for business against
the mail order house. He has been
compelled to obey the state law
while his mail order competitor has
been privileged to dc, as he pleased
in the matter. It is to be hoped
that the national law will be en-
forced with sufficient vigor to re-
move this disadvantage to the local
merchant, and at the same time
assure the patron of the mail
order house that he is getting the
came grade of goods that he can
procure from the. home merchant.
Attention is also called to the
result given below on analysis of
sample of pepper obtained through
affirm in this state. 1t is perhaps
unnecessary to add that the law
can and will reach this party.
The results of analyses just as
returned from our laboratory are
