and has the right of inspection and
may also prosecute If the goods are
not i'm accord with State law.
The opinion is of far-reaching i'm
p9rtanee and will clear up matters
which have been hanging fire for
some time, said Dairy and Food
Commissioner Foust. I'VE have had
number of questions arising in the
last few weeks and it has been con-
tended that the national law stops
Slate inspection.
The opinion is of interest because
of the contention OF some out-of-the-
State manufacturers that articles
were shipped here in original pack
ages and because the decision is op-
posite to what had been held in IN
diana.
The Stock Transfer. Immediate
steps are being taken by the auditor
