impression among dealers that this
department has modified it's ruling pro-
hibiting coal-tar dye in confectionery.
This they have attempted through
correspondence with dealers in the state.
Coal-tar dye is prohibited in confec-
tionery by law, it is not ruling, and
the commission has no authority to
take such course were it so disposed.
Dealers will be held responsible for the
sale of any confectionery colored with
coal tar dye.
EDWARD K. SLATER, Commissioner.
