MILK DEALER FINED
BECAUSE A CUSTOMER SOLD
WATERED LACTEAL FLUID.

Marcellus c. Hefin. 1245 NJ street north
west, a wholesale dealer in milk, was
fined SO by Judge Mullowny in the Pc
lice Court today for selling watered milk.
This is the heaviest punishment imposed
in a milk case in many years. Helm
supplied retail dealers.
The filing of the charge against Heffn
was the result of the trial of John S.
Huseman. 400 18th street southwest, a
few days ago, who was fined So on a
charge of selling milk below the stand
ard. He maintained that he sold the milk
exactly as he bought it from the whole
sale dealer, Heflin. When the case was
called today Mr.. Huseman was one Of
the main witnesses. giving the evidence
that the sample of milk taken and ana
lyzed by Inspector Hatton of the health
Office was exactly as he bought 1t from
the defendants driver.
Inspector Hatton testified that the milk
contained over SO per cent of water while
the legal amount allowed is stu per cent.
That does not necessa rily mean that
the milk was watered does tt?" asked
Attorney Laskey for the defense.
1T must have been wa tered to show
that percentage" replied the inspector.
Helm and his driver denied that they
had watered the milk, but Judge Null
lowry held Hef1in responsible.

One Of the advantages of Grape
Nuts food is that it is pre-digested
in the process of manufacture.
The starch contained in the
wheat and barley is transformed
into grape-sugar by exactly the
same method as this process is
carried on in the human body-that
is, by the use Of moisture and long
exposure to moderate warmth,
which grows the diastase in the
grains, then long baking COM
pletes the remarkable change from
starch to grape-sugar.
Therefore, the most delicate
stomach can handle Grape-Nu
