CANDY GOES DRY"
THROUGH DECISION
Of SUPREME COURT
Justice Burnett Holds That
CONNECTIONS Must Contain
No Alcohol

Candy must contain no alcohol, since
alcohol is poison, but if the confection
does contain alcohol it must be labeled
to this effect, according to the decision
of the state supreme court in an opinion
handed down in the case of H. r. Hoef-
Ter, doing business as "Hoefler s"
against J. D. Nickel, state food and
dairy commissioner. The apparent con
flict however, is explained by two pro
visions of the pure food laws of the
state dealing with adulterations and la
beling respectively.
One chapter of the law states that
candy must contain none of list. of
certain drugs stimulants and another
chapter says that the state food and
dairy commissioner may establish the
standard of rum, brandy, or alcohol
that candy may contain and if any of
these ingredients are put into the candy
the label must state the percentage of
alcohol that the candy contains. In the
case before the court this morning it
was stated that "Hoefler's Centennial
Chocolates" manufactured at Astoria
contained 1.05 per cent of alcohol by
volume. Mr.. Nickel seized some Of
these chocolates offered for sale in
Multnomah county because the label
did not state that they contained alco-
hol
Hoeflcr secured a temporary order re-
straining Nickel from condemning any
more chocolates but after the argu-
ment in the circuit court Judge Herrv
F.. McGinn decided that the candy vio
lated the pure food regulations and the
food and dairy commissioner was CIV
eli the right to seize all Of the candy he
found offered for sale. Hoefler ap-
; pealcd to the supreme court.
Justice Burnett in his opinion stated
that since all toxicologists held alcohol
; to be a poison there was no question
that the candy containing alcohol was
; adulteratcd and therefore in violation
of the law. Since the label did not
; state that the candy contained aduitrr-
; ants it was also an infraction of the
law relative to misbranding and the
lower court was upheld in all its rul-
; ings.
The state law gives the food and
; dairy commissioner the right to estab-
lish the amount Of rum, brandy or alco-
liol that may be put in candy but as yet
; he has made no ruling on this point. A
prominent Salem confectioner said this
morning that cOnfectioners in genera
! throughout the state had been using lit
tie or no brandy in any candy since the
present case had been under litigation
The Salem candy makers are using none
at ALL

supreme court this morning follows:

Al the start it was called the Base

name Of knickcrbOcker Club.
The rules OF the game have not been
preserved, but fundamentally they were
like the present ones. The bound catch
was sanctioned and the pitching was
really pitching. not throwing.
Because Of the heavy batting one Of
the early rules declared that the club
making the first twenty-one runs should

would consent TO find any employment:
In this barracks was mixture OF

Some came from the Cameroons, and

the boat on the voyage from Africa,
the other in Bordeaux. The wives
were given the choice at the Cam

chose TO be prisoners. and are now in
the same camp with their husbands,

their husbands two hours a day, from
