PURE FOOD EXPERTS
TO VISIT DISTRICT

s. c. Dinsmore, who has charge of
the enforcement of the pure food and
drugs and weights and measures laws
in Nevada, assisted by NJ. B. Kennedy
expects to visit the Ely district short
ly to conduct thorough investigation.
Sampling of food products and in
y~estigations of scales will occupy the
attention of both officials, and careful
studies will be made of the milk
and ice cream sold, and several SAM
Piles will be brought to Reno for ad-
ditional analysis.
Dinsmore is working out a toler-
ance on butter for the Investigations
show that there is quite a discrepan-
cy in the weights of the products of
the various creameries. A certain
loss is due to evaporation, and 1t is
with the idea of determining this
loss that the work is pursued.
When Dinsmore left Reno for the
southern part of the state, he pur-
chased a small crate of butter and
subjected il to the regular method
of shipping. 1t was billed to Tono-
pah and on its arrival at that place
was carefully weighed, and the diff
ference of weight at the time of pur-
chase was carefully noted. Half the
case was displayed in a Tonopah store
and the balance placed in a refrigera-
tor. 1t was weighed every twenty
four hours and after several days
was shipped to Goldfield, where the
weights were again taken. Upon
leaving Goldfeld. the East was ship
ped back to Reno and the weight TAX
en- on arrival In that city.
The result of the Investigations
will be made public shortly, and the
creameries advised as to the results.
