 10 and 15 of chapter 52 of 21 General Acts, and defines wliat 

 constitutes imitation butter and cheese; prohibits the coloring 

 of substitutes to resemble butter and the combination of animal 

 fat or vegetable oil, etc., with butter or cheese, and the manu- 

 facture and sale of imitation butter or cheese, except when 

 branded, stamped or marked, and shipping of substitutes for 

 butter or cheese, except as marked, and except goods in transit 

 across the State. The possession of such substitutes is not 

 allowed, except by persons having the same for personal use;

 ing substitutes is presumed. In case of sale of substitutes the 

 purchaser is to be notified by statement that the substance sold

 must keep a card posted with the words " substitutes for butter 

 used here," or " substitute for cheese used here." Possession
