WHEN ICE CREAM is GENUINE
Eject of Pure Food Law Discussed
ny Dealers in This Con-
lection.

Just when ice cream is ice cream under
the pure food law is a question that Is
being discussed among the local ice cream
manufacturers. The pure food law stipu-
iates that ice cream Is a frozen product
cut a natural favoring and contains not
less than IA per cent of milk fat The law
also stated what fruit ice cream and nut ice
cream are. The department has ruled
against the use of condensed milk, eggs
corn starch, gelatine and vegetable gums
II. B. Graham OF the Farmers Coop
erative Creamery and Supply company, has
taken this matter up with DR.. Wiley OF the
Pure Food commission for a more definite
understanding on the matter, particularly
the use of gelatlne.
gelatine will be permitted. as experts claim
gelatine must be used to produce ice
cream" They say ice cream would not be
ice cream without gelatine, which is de-
clared a necessity rather than an adui-
terant.
The new law, II is said, will sound the
death knell to products which have been
sold for ice cream and which have tested
only from to per cent fat. One dealer
handling a high grade of Ice cream says:
I'VE are not shedding any tears at the
funeral of the corn starch and condensed
milk manufacturers OF ice cream. but we
must admit that an emulsifying agent
(gelatine) is an absolute necessity in order
to make a cream that is satisfactory to
the dispenser and consumer"

did not show up when the case was set
for trial, but the defendants were present

rected the jury to return a verdict for the
defendants.
The plaintiffs Immediately filed petition
TO set aside the Judgment and Judge Trieber
has just returned his opinion on the petition
overriding the petition to set aside the

She wasn't certain, but In order not to be

solved to try the same thing on her friend,
the shoe clerk. The next day she called
him up and said she was an actress and
had to have a pair of slippers before she

the slippers she wanted and said she could
not get to the store before about $50.
