BEERS AND NEAR BEERS— Continued. 



Sixteen samples of butter and butter substitutes were examined, 

 three of which were found to be adulterated and sold in violation of 

 the food law. They contained fats other than milk fat, as will be 

 seen bj reference to the table below. One sample proved to be a 

 compound butter and another a renovated butter, but they were sold 

 as such, so the law was not violated. By reference to the table below 

 it will be seen that the law was violated in the sale of 6 samples 

 because of short weight, the packages having been sold for one pound 

 packages when in fact the actual weight was only from 10 to 14 

 ounces each. This is a form of violation that appears to be very 

 prevalent, and the attention of dealers is hereby called to the vio- 

 lation of the law by the sale of short weight packages, and in the 

 future such violations will be prosecuted.
