ready has decided to ship no more
corn strip to this state until the exist
| ing condition of affairs is reversed.
Chicago officials of the Corn Prod
ucts Refining company said they were

plans were determined at the main of

Mr. Scully of the Scully Sirup com
pany was emphatic in his determine
ton not to attempt to ship his corn
strip product into Wisconsin as long
as the present requirement remains in
effect

| cose," he said. "To do so would be
| to mislabel the article. 1t is corn strip
and nothing else, and cannot rightly
be called glucose. In labelling it
corn strip we are carrying out the
provisions of the United States pure
| food laws"

cision was reached recently, after the
matter had been pending for two
years.

pany, Immediately after the decision
was made public, warned jobbers to
withdraw the strip from sale at once.

made by the manufacturers or dealers

tween 500 and 1000 cars of corn strip
has been shipped to Wisconsin annu-
