Checks Use of Saccharine.
The excessive use of Saccharine as
substitute for sugar will be halted
by the State Board of Health and
prosecution will follow further viola
lions. While the war was in progress
the health authorities did not rigidly
enforce the prohibition against using
saccharine in large quantities because
of the scarcity of sugar. Notwith-
standing that an abundance of sugar
has since become available, many
manufacturers of soft drinks are con-
tinuing to substitute saccharine for
sugar and notice has been sent them
by the State Department of Health
that they must abide strictly by the
regulations.
The State Board has also directed
its counsel to redraft the law pro-
hibiting the use of bob" veal so that
it will follow the lines of the federal
regulations. The salary of Dr. Julius
! Levy, consultant of the State Depart
ment of Health in the division of child
hygiene, has been increased by the
board from $500 to $4,000 annually.
The increase was approved by the
Civil Service Commission at its last
| meeting.
