Ovey one hundred of the completed ascs have been brought because of aduiterated or misbranded flour of one brand or another including barley, buckwheat, corn, gluten, graham and rye flon In the case of wheat flour the charges frequently made were excessive and short weight. Dairy products such as eream, milk, ¢l , lce cream, densed and powdered milk, were volved in more than one thousand of the twelve thousand court actions, Where butter was involved the most common charges were deficiency in butterfat and shortage of weight, Mitk was found to contain added water, to be skimmed, or to® be contaminated with bacteria. In some Instances two or more of these forms of adultera- | tion were found in a single interstate ahipment. Canned tofhatoes, tomato tomato pulp, and other tomato pro- duzcts have also occasioned many court actions. Hundreds of shipments of these products have heen seized in various parts of the United States on the charge that the products were made in part of decomposed toes, or that they containea added water, or were short weight, or were | misbranded in such a way as to mis- lead purchasers. According to food | officials there has been a marked im- provement in tomato products which today with few exceptions comply ful- ly with the provisions of the federal food and drugs act, Checking the Rotten Salmon The persistent practice a few canners In putting up rotten salmon has made it necessary to seize many shipments of that product, according to Dr. Browne. Several seizures of salmon were contested in the courts during the current year by the claim- ants or shippers who defended the practice of including a certain per- centage of rotten fish on the ground that it is impracticable to eliminate entirely such fish. Juries before whom these cases have heen contested dur- ing the current year have upheld uni- formly the contention of the govern- ment that such fish are unfit for food.

Hundreds of court actions have |been brought to enforce the correct labeling of quantity of contents food packages, I'o0d products, in addition to those ready mentioned, upon which many court actions have heen brought be cause of adulteration or misbranding under the federal food and drugs act, include flavoring extracts, spices, con- diments, vinegar, oysters, scallops, nuts, . canned fruits and veg- ctables, evaporated apples, heverages, candy, coffee, lard, meat, jams, jellies, stockfeed and grains. alscly Laheled Medivines yprietary preparations bearing on I8 false and fraudulent claims as efficacy of the preparations in the treament of many ailments and dangerous diseases have been selzed in interstate commerce in great num- ber and variety, About everything from candy catharties to pink pellets for pale people and falsely labeled 80- called cures for cancer, diphtherla, scarlet fever have various parts of the Below-standard drugs Alling prescriptions sirn P lal to the been weized in United States, to be used in | have been the hasis of many court ac- tions, Adulterated crude drugs to be used in making medicines of various kinds have received attention from the drug control officials.

Progress in chemical check | control and in sanitary science is re- flected in improved practices in pro- ducing, handling, storing and shipping fonds, and our inspectors and chem- ists are ever on the alert to prevent adulteration and misbranding in the | foods and drugs that enter interstate jand foreign commerce, “The majority of food manufac- turers teday are putting out high {grade products and there is a smaller percentage of adulteration than ever hefore, although the volume of inter- state commerce in foods has increased Q OF _|[TEACHES A MORAL.
