PURE FOOD Law
TEST CASE
INSPECTOR ARRESTS SPO-
KANE DEALER FOR SELLING
STEAK DIPPED WITH FOR
Ridden PRESERVATIVE.

Inspector Bittrick this morning
swore out a warrant for the arrest
of Robert Turnbull, proprietor OF
the Idaho market at ELS Sprague
av. The offense charged is the
sale of adulterated meat in the
shape of hamburger steak.
Analysis of samples brought the
suspected meat under the provl-
sions of the state pure food law,
and the prosecution is founded on
this statute. The case is a test of
the application OF the pure food
law to local conditions, and ii sue
cessful will furnish a means of
protection from bad meat which it
has been impossible to secure from
the city council by ordinance.
