Twenty-seven of Them Charged With
Selling Adulterated Milk and Cream
Ten Dealers in Sausage Accused
of Doctoring Their Wares

During February there were eighty
suits brought against violators of the
pure food laws of the State by the
agents of the Dairy and Food Division,
of which twenty were for selling
adulterated milk and cream. Six of the
milk dealers had introduced their cows
to the pump and the consequence was
that water formed considerable part
of their product. The demand for
sausage during the cold weather led ten
dealers TO doctor their product with
water and cereals to make it look fat,
but when it was cooked it shrunk TO
the size of angle worms, Sixteen vinegar
dealers doped aud diluted their product
against the law. While twenty-five peo'
pie took cold storage goods out Of the
warehouses and failed to mark them
as such. Coal tar dye was used in fruit
extracts and resin was put, in chocolate
fudge and eoeoanut candy. The bal
anee of the eases were dried fruits with
sulphur dioxide and other things that
