THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW 149 



Misbranding of Food Products. 



Duriny' the past \ear I have recei\e(l, I ])resume. sexeral hun- 

 dred reports from the L'nited States Government regarding the mis- 

 l)randing of food products, four of which may he of interest to 

 Rk\ji-:w readers. 



"Sweet's Honey X'ermiluge"' was declared misbranded for two 

 reasons. One. it did not contain any honey, and two. Ijecause it did 

 not contain the amount of alcoliol the lal)e! showed. 



■'3vlrs. Morrison's l>rand Pure h'ood Products Honey. Xet 

 Weight 8 Ounces. Prepared by A. A. Deiser & Ctmipany, Des 

 Moines. Iowa,'' was declared misbranded liecause the sample exam- 

 ined showed a shortage in weight. Six packages showed a shortage 

 of 4.8(i per cent in weight, on an average. 



"Xorthern ( )hio Sugar." manufactured l)y the Standard Syrup 

 Co.. of Cleveland. Ohio, and "'Maple Sugar." packed by the Standard 

 Syrup Company. Cle\eland. ( )hio, were declared mis])randed be- 

 cause they Ijoth contained cane stigar prei)ared in imitation of 

 maple sugar. 



"Fireside I'.rand Cane and Maple Sugar Butter," packed for 

 P»oren-Stewart Co.. Dallas. Texas, was declared misbranded because 

 in addition to the two ingredients named on the lal^el it also had 

 benzoate of soda. 



It is refreshing to notice that of all the cases reported there 

 was only one of honey, and that only because it was short weight. 

 Truly otu' national pure food laws are doing good. 



At the Home of a Canadian Bee-Keeper. 



The man who was responsible for my visit to the London con- 

 vention, February "^Oth and ?^Iarch 1st, and who was apparently at 

 the head of the work of getting up the program, was D. Anguish, 

 of Lambeth, Ont. It is always necessary for some one man to take 

 the lead, and as near as I could find out that man in this case was 

 Mr. Anguish. 



After the convention adjourned its second session late Thursday 

 night, through the courtesy of !Mr. and ]Mrs. Anguish, a whole 

 'bunch'' of us bee-men and women took the six-mile trolley ride to 

 Lambeth, and spent the night. In the party was Mr. Hershiser and 

 son. Miss Ethel Robson and sister. Mr. Pettit and myself. 



Two other bee-keepers live across the road from Mr. Anguish, 

 and 1 believe each of them brottght home "company." So you see 

 we could have had a regular convention in Lambeth the next dav.
