Jersey Grocer Pun
iShed for Violating Food
Regulations

Newark, June IA, 191S-Once more 1t
} hae Iea. discovered hat the system OF
checking and COMMUNICATING estab-
lished by the United States Food Ad-
minIstration Is effective against mis-
statement by those under its jurisdic-
tion-which means everybody in view
of the fact that everybody must eat.
The knowledge was impressed upon
Frank Elias, a grocer, of woodbridge ,
who will close up his store next We'd
nesday for a week because he denied he
had violated regulations laid down for
the sale of flour and substitutes and
was later forced to admit the accuracy
of the charge.
While the Food Administration rules
permit the sale of flour in quantities of
not more than 245 pounds with the
purchase of an equal amount of sub
stitutes at the sametime, Elias deliver
ed ninety-eight pounds in a lot and did
not require the purchase of any sub
stitutes with it. This was a double
offense each time it occurred.
When the allegation was presented
to the Food Administration, Elias was
directed to appear before Frederick E.
Mygatt, head of the Enforcement Di-
vision in this state with his books and
sales clips. He came but did not bring
the records and insisted today that the
charge was unfounded. He was direct
ed to show the documents to prove his
declaration. He left the Food Admin
istration office ostensibly TO comply but
reappeared during the afternoon and
then openly admitted the charge. He
acknowledged that he knew what the
rules provided but had nevertheless
continued selling the excess quantities
and without substitutes.
In addition to having to discontinue
business for the week, he will have to
post a notice on the door of his store,
explaining that the business had been
halted by the Food Administration be-
cause of his offence. The closing peri
cd was deferred so that his customers
will have an opportunity to arrange
for getting their supplies from other
grocers.
