from so-called flavoring extracts that are not extracts at all, but are 

 artificial or chemical compounds. With many of them it would 

 be difficult to prove that they are really poisonous in the small 

 amount used, but there is hardly any question but what the body 

 would be far better off without them. 



The labels for these drinks are usually furnished by the manufac- 

 turer of the sirup or flavoring from which the drink is made, and 

 they try very hard to make the label misleading and still stay within 

 the requirement of the law. As the manufacturer of the sirup or 

 flavoring and the labels does not ship the finished product into the 

 State, he can not be held for misbranding under the national law. 

 For this reason the bottler of a product will have to be held strictly 

 responsible for his products under the State law. 



Fifty-one samples of these products were examined ; many of them 

 were misbranded and not properly labeled, and were, therefore, sold 

 in violation of the law. Bottlers are hereby notified and cautioned 

 that in the future they will be held strictly responsible for misbrand- 

 ing, etc., of their products.
