EEEPINO THEM IN U[N£. 



Everybody recognizes that the man- 

 ufacturers of the standard insecticides 

 mean to deal with absolute fairness 

 with the people whose patronage they 

 seek. There is no question that when 

 the goods fail to come up to the claims 

 made for them nobody feels so badly 

 about it as does the man at the head 

 of the concern that has its name on 

 the label. But it seems an extremely 

 difficult thing for the insecticide mak- 

 ers to deliver a uniform article. That 

 80 many reputable concerns eventually 

 get caught shows what the chances of 

 error would lead to if there were no 

 insecticide law. 



For instance, in a government press 

 sheet released March 19 the Depart- 

 ment of Agriculture records that the 

 Kentucky Tobacco Product Co., Louis- 

 ville, Ky., was charged with shipping 

 a quantity of Nico-Fume Liquid to 

 Baltimore, Md., ' ' examination of which 

 showed that the cans contained con- 

 siderably less than the proportion of 

 nicotine and considerably more than 

 the proportion of inert ingredients 

 stated on the label. It was charged 

 that the product was adulterated be- 

 cause it fell below the professed stand- 

 ard. Misbranding was alleged in that 

 it was labeled so as to deceive or mis- 

 lead the purchaser, and in that the 

 presence of inert and active ingre- 

 dients was not plainly and correctly 

 disclosed on the label." A fine of $10 

 and costs was imposed under the insec- 

 ticide law.
