PURE FOOD LAW is DoDGED.
Labels Are Being Printed on Canned
Goods in Microscopic Type.

Sooos IN Microscopic type.
New York, Jan. 6.-That the new
pure food law is proving a big joke is
the growing conviction of New York.
There is a general impression that the
law, which went into effect on the
first day of 1907. prohibits the selling
of anything but pure food. 1t does
nothing of the kind.
The law provides that whatever is
sold as food or drink must be labeled
as just what it is, but the law fails tc
dictate what size of type shall be
used in labels. 1t is also defective in
sections relating to short-weight cans
and Jars and short-measure bottles.
In consequence, cans and jars and
bottles are of the same old size, and
the parts of labels in which the VAR
a ingredients are described are
printed in type barely distinguishahiG
to the naked eye.
