2. In the case of ailicles labeled, branded or tagged, so as to plain- 

 ly indicate that they are mixtures, compounds, combinations, imitations 

 or blends, provided that the same shall be labeled, branded or tagged, 

 so as to show the exact character and constituents thereof; and provided 

 further that nothing in this act shall be construed as requiring or com- 

 pelling proprietors or manufacturers of proprietary foods which contain 

 no unwholesome added ingredients to disclose their trade formulas, 

 except in so far as the provisions of this act may require to secure free- 

 dom from adulterations or imitation. 



Sec. 9. Labels required by this act shall be distinctly printed in the 

 English language in legible type no smaler than brevier heavy gothic 

 caps, and shall be placed upon the outside of each package and contain 

 the name and address of the manufacturer, packer or dealer, and the 

 words, "This (followed by the name of the article of food) is composed 

 of the following ingredients and none other,'.' and immediately after 

 said words shall be printed upon said label, in the style and manner herein 

 specified, the true and correct name of each and all the ingredients con- 

 tained in or constituting a component part to such mixture, compound, 

 combination, imitation or blend, and if artificially colored or preserved, 

 the name of each and every such added substance shall be plainly stated on 

 the label. There shall be such a contrast between the color of the label 

 and the color of the ink used in printing the label as heretofore pro- 

 vided, that the label shall be easily and plainly legible. 



Sec. 10. Any person who manufactures or exposes for sale, or delivers 

 to a purchaser any article of food, shall furnisU, within business 

 hours, and upon payment or tender of the selling price, a sample of such 

 food to any person duly authorized by the commissioner to receive the 

 same, and who shall apply to such vender, or person delivering to a pur- 

 chaser such article of food for such sample for such use in sufficient 

 quantity for the analysis of any such article or articles in his possession. 

 In the presence of such person and an agent of a commissioner, if so 

 desired by either party, said sainple shall be divided into three parts, and 

 each part shall be sealed with the seal of the commissioner. One part 

 shall be left with the dealer, one delivered to the commissioner, and one 

 deposited with the county attorney for the county in which the sample 

 is taken. The having in possession by any person who manufacturs or 

 exposes for sale, any adulterated or misbranded food, within the meaning 

 of this act, shall be prima facie evidence of having in possession with 

 intent to sell in violation of its provisions. 



Sec. 11. Any person, firm, corporation, or agent thereof, who refuses 

 to comply, on demand, with any of the requirements of this act, or who 

 shall violate any of its provisions, or who shall obstruct or hinder the 

 commissioner, or any of his assistants, in the discharge of any duty 

 imposed by this act, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor ,and upon convic- 

 tion thereof, shall be punished by a fine not exceeding one hundred dol-
