DRINKS ARE J INSPECTED 5
 BY AUTHORITIES
Legal Action To Be Taken In Case Of Adultera-
 tiOn Of Beverages
(state Capital Bureau)

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Aug. "A survey of the various brands of bot tied beverages manufactured and sold in Alabann is being conducted by the division of agricultural chemistry of the state department of agriculture, ac- cording to H. NJ. Robertson, chief of the division. Samples and labels of bot tied beverages have been obtained and a thorough examination is being made by which any adulterations or mis- branding will be uncovered. Legal ac- tion will be taken against any bOttlers who may be found to have adulterated their product, according to, Mir. Rob- ertsOn.
 Earlier in the present month, an in formation sheet on bottled beverages was mailed from the department of agriculture to the bottlers of the state. This sheet was devoted principally to labelling with regard to statements, de signs or devices which might be mis- leading as to the quality of the product.
 Saccharin, An AdulteratiOn
 Advice relative to the statement of the net contents on the label, and rel ative to the prohibition of saccharin was also given. A product in which saccharin has been substituted for .su- gar has no food value whatever, and is considered as being aduiterated under the Alabama food and drug act, Mir. Robertson stated.
 Each bottling plant in the state has been visited on the survey, and a list of the beverages bottled, with samples of crowns and labels used, was pro cured. Later, at least one, and in many instances more than one sample was collected from each plant and for warded to the state laboratory for anal ysis. Approximately POO samples were collected.
 "The manufacture Of bottled sOdaS and other soft drinks has grown to he one of the leading industries of the state, there being at least one bottling plant in practically every town or city with a population of a thousand or more" Mir. Robertson stated "There are a number in each of the larger cities, and nearly every plant bottles from six to more than dozen brands or flavors.
 fIn accordance with the definition given in the Alabama food and drug act, bottled beverages are classed as foods, and when properly prepared, they have a greater food value than num- Der of products which are daily con sumed for the sustenance of man."
 MT. Robertson stated that the de- partment has received very fine CO., operation from bottlers relative to the purposes of the survey, most bOttlers of the state having readily responded to advices from the department as to the legal rennirements.
