and her two great Expositions 

 FOR ONE I>0]L,LAR 



California wiil hold next year two great universal Expositions, 

 one at Sari Francisco and the other at San Diego, in cele- 

 bration 01 the completion of the Panama Canal and the joia- 

 iig of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. 

 To supply the demand for reliabie and authentic information 

 on Caliiornia and these two Expositions, we have published 

 two guide books; one on San Francisco, the Exposition and 

 Northern CalifoTnia; the other on Los Angeles, San Diego, 

 the Exposition and Southern California, also a lithographed 

 vew of San Francisco in colors (size 30x45 inches) a picture 

 of the rebuilt city, including the Exposition. Each book is 

 6x9 inches, contains 150 pages and beautiful illustrations. 



These two books and view give a comprehensive, honest 

 history and description of the State, her principal cities, re- 

 sources and her two great Expositions. Sent postpaid for a 

 one dollar bill, money order, draft or check. North American

Pure Food Law Now in Effect- 

 How it Effects the Producer 



(^ Continued from page 24 8) 



In general, solids must bs stated 

 in terms of weight and liquids in 

 terms of volume, except that 

 where there is a definite trade 

 custom otherwise any marking of 

 the package in terms that are 

 generally understood to express 

 definite quantities will be permitted. 

 The quantity of viscous or semi- 

 solid food or of mixtures of solids 

 aiid liquids. 



(Chunk Comb Honey. — Ed.) 

 may be stated either by weight 

 or measure, but the statement must 

 clearly indicate whether the quan- 

 tity is expressed in terms of 

 weight or measure. 



In the case of certain articles 

 the contents may be stated by 

 numerical count, provided such 

 numerical count gives accurate in- 

 formation as to the quantity of 

 food in the package. 



(A case of 2 4-13 oz. net weight 

 sections would suffice, providing it 

 was sold direct to the consumer in 

 original package. Ed). Under this 

 requirement it would not be enough 

 to state that a package of candy 

 contained 24 craem peppermints, 

 as candies vary in size and this 

 would not be a statement of 

 actual quantity of candy in 

 package. 



The regulations also permit 

 statement of minimum volume 

 weight, as "Minimum weight, 

 ounces;" "Minimum volume, 1 

 Ion;" " Not less than 4 ounces." 

 In such cases the amount stated 

 must approximate the actual quan- 

 tity. No variations below the stated 

 quantity will be permitted. 



The statement of weight or 

 measure must be marked in terms 

 of the largest unit contained in 

 the package; for example, if the 

 package contains a pound and a 

 fraction, the contents must be ex- 

 pressed in terms of pounds and frac- 

 tions thereof, or pounds and ounces, 

 and not merely in ounces. 

 Tolerances 



In the packing and bottling cf 

 many foods it would be impossible 

 cr else add unnecessarily to cost, 

 for the manufacturer to place an 

 absolutely accurate statement of the 

 amount of the food in every pack- 

 age, and fcr this reason the regula-
