did.
Two Oklahoma City men paid the
local jockey club 5000 for the soft
drink privilege at a recent race meet
but when they ATTEMPTED to sell but
termiik were restrained from doing so
Instantly the plea was made that
buttermilk is a soft drink--but the
fair management retorted that but
terrnilk Is a food and not drink at
all. The contention OF the manage
ment was sustained by the district
court. Buttermilk is on the food list
In Oklahoma.
Buttermilk must not be drunk any
