U. S. WINS ITS APPEAL
IN THE COCA COLA CASE

The Supreme Court of the United
States today reversed the decision of
the Tennessee federal courts, which had
refused to contiscate on the petition of
the government forty barrels of coca
cola as violating the federal pure food
law, and sent the case back for presen-
tation to a jury to determine whether
caffeine contained in coca dbla is in
furious to health.
Justice Hughes, for the unanimous
court. said that the Tennessee courts
had erred in deciding that no poisonous
articles could be added to pro-
pretary food. composed of ingredients
brought together by man within the
meaning of the pure food law. which
declared to be adulterated any product
with added poisonous or injurious in
sredient." Justice Hughes said the
provisions of the statute were some
what inconeruous. but that it was evil
dent added" meant 'arti1cially intro
duced.
1T was evident that Congress did not
intend to give immunity from the law
to proprietary foods to contain poisons
merely by reason of the choice of some
formula or name" said the justice.
The trial judge having decided that
il caffeine had been put into the
product the case did not come within
the law, did not submit the evidence to
the jury.
The jury. the court held should also
pass on the question of whether there
is any coca or any cola in the product
