One of the most fragrant frauds has
been perpetrated under the name of
olive oil. Real olive oil is worth be-
tween 81 and SIS per gallon, and Is
difficult to get at that price. On the
other hand. cottonseed oil, peanut oil.
soy-bean OIL corn oil and other vege-
table oils range in price from S1.O0
, to S1.92 per gallon. and are exceeding
~ plentiful. Right there is where the
aggregation of food crooks observed
a chance to reap nice get-rich-quick
harvest. These gentry buy the cheap
oils and place olive oil labels on
! shapely bottles and sell them to an
unsuspecting public at the high price
of genuine oil. But as a result OF
large number of seizures of such fake
stocks by Alsbere's men. the practice
has been pretty we'll broken up.
Some dealers, however. are endeav-
oring to continue TO reap the large
profits involved, and hope to escape
the penalties of the food and drug
act by so wording the labels on their
products as to convey the impression
( to the consumer that the product is
really OLIVE oil without stating on the
/ label that such is actually the case.
{ This deception is accomplished
! through the slick subterfuge of label
| ing the products as table OIL" or
| some other indefinite kind of oil. On
the labels are displayed conspicuous
! pictures of olive trees, maps of Italy
or other devices intended to suggest
olive oil. In some instances the
words "cottonseed oil" or corn oiP'
are printed in very small type in an
inconspicuous place on the label. A
glance at the label, such as is usually
given by retail purchasers, would lead
the average person to believe that the
product was olive oil. Only the most
careful scrutiny and exact reading
will reveal that the product is not
| labeled olive oil, and, in fact. is not
! olive oil.
| Cottonseed oil and the other oils
mentioned above are palatable and
nutritious. and there is not the least
objection to their use, providing they
| are sold as such and not charged for
! at olive oil prices.
! 1t has ever been a strong tempta-
tion with some milk dealers to mix
f, a little well or creek water with pure
milk, thus adding to the sum total of
COW output and bank income. Upon
| observing an undue paleness in the
| compile Xtion of their daily supply OF
milk. consumers can start something
very quickly by dropping a brief note
to the bureau of chemistry.
Eggs keep the authorities constan-
ly on the jump. You might as well
expect some dealers in eggs to pull
a perfectly sound front tooth out OF
their own or their sweetheart's jaws
as to expect them to voluntarily junk
a few cases of ancient and highly
scented eggs. Some dealers seem to
feel justified in passing them on to
a gullible and long suffering public
DR.. Alsberg is waging an especially
determined fight along that line, and
wherever the court decides an egg

sues.

the dealer thus divide between them

is quite profitable. The dealer does
