goods at all. The agents of the State
Dairy and Food commissioner have
been busy the last week or two in
spectlng the manner in which the cold
storage act is being observed, COM
plants having been made in a number
of places that goods were being sold
marked. In Philadelphia and a num-
Der of places arrests were made after
disclosures.
| Lately it has been found that some
people were getting around the re-
qulrement of the law by tacking cards
food for sale on the sides of rooms or
even on top of pile of bxes. but not
near the cold storage goods The idea
seemed to be that so long as the card
was in the room the law was oBeyed.
State authorities insist that the pla-
cards shall be so placed that the buy
ers know what they are getting.
