OFFICIAL IXSPECTIOX 8. 1 3 



cream cannot be lawfully used upon the label or in any way in 

 connection with such goods, unless it is qualified by some such 

 words as "imitation" or "substitute." Thus a frozen product 

 similar to ice cream or fruit or nut ice cream, except that it car- 

 ries less milk fat than the standards, may be lawfully labeled 

 "Imitation ice cream" or "Ice cream substitute." If an imita- 

 tion ice cream contains imitation flavoring matter, this fact must 

 be plainly stated on the label. 



It is unlawful to sell even a properly labeled imitation ice 

 cream for ice cream. If a customer calls for ice cream and an 

 imitation ice cream is supplied without a full and clear explana- 

 tion of what the goods are, the sale is unlawful. 



At soda fountains, ice cream rooms, etc., if it is desired to sell 

 frozen products that do not conform to the standards for ice 

 cream, conspicuous signs showing exactly what is being served 

 must be displayed and orders for ice cream can not be lawfully 

 filled by serving substitutes without explaining what they are. 



The regulation relative to ice cream and ice cream substitutes 

 applies equally to hotels and restaurants. All statements upon 

 bills of fare, etc., must be in accord with the above. 



FivAvoRiNG Extracts. 

 In the fall of 1908 quite a number of samples of flavoring 

 extracts, for the most part manufactured outside of the State, 

 were collected. The results of the analyses are given in the 

 tables which follow. There were comparatively little differences 

 in the apparent size of the bottles, but as will be noted in the 

 table, there were great difference in the actual capacity. A 

 two ounce bottle should carry not quite 60 cubic centimeters. 

 It will be noted that some of the 10 cent bottles were down to 

 about half the capacity of a two-ounce bottle. The reduced 

 capacity of the bottle was obtained by having the glass sides 

 very much thicker and the panels in the sides of the bottle much 

 deeper. With the exception of four or five samples, which are 

 not reported, and were found on investigation to be old goods, 

 the extracts were for the most part up to strength and fre- 

 quently were very much stronger than the standards. Sample 

 7775 was collected and examined in the summer of 1908. The 

 case was settled by affidavit.
