Buying Water by the Pint.
AS the winter is the oyster and
shell-fish season, the sea foods come
in for close inspection. Preserya-
tives are prohibited. No ice or wa
ter can be put in the oyster recepta-
cles except a sufficient quantity to
chill them properly. The pure food
laws say that when you buy oysters
you don't have to pay for water by
the pint. The oysters themselves are
supposed to fill the pint measure.
Shrimp, crabs, Holsters and other
shell fish are subject to just as strict
regulations.
Soft drinks, sold over the soda
fountain counters, are subject to
strict inspection. The extracts and
syrups must be pure, and coloring
matters that tend to hide impurities
must not be used.

ents are shown on the labels they
| must contain those products.
! The Georgia pure food Regulations
are copied very largely from the Fed
eral pure food statute, and in many
, instances the State inspector works
in common with Feleral inspectors.
Some Of the cities in Georgia also
! have pure food regulations, and the
State Inspector co-operates with the
local health officers in enforcing
these. The State law prescribes men,
alties for violations of the pure food
requirements, the inspector being au-
| thorzed to institute prosecutions
J against violators.
