an unlimited amount of trouble with

ence Of saccharine. Many dealers
were compelled to quit business en-.
tirely because of the raids made by
the state inspectors. 1t was hoped
that they would take warning from
last years experiences, and make
cones which conform to the state
food laws. But they seem not to
have needed the warning and are
back at the old trick of putting sac
charine in their cones. Every man
who was punished last year. and Is
caught this year, will be given a
double dose Of punishment.
