Cream of- Tartar. 

 Samples of the more common brands of cream of tartar were 

 collected. These were examined qualitatively and were, for the 

 most part, found to be free from adulteration and branded cor- 

 rectly. Sample No. 71 13 of the Smith Brockway Company was 

 correctly labeled. Numbers 71 11, 71 18 and 7136 were illegal 

 goods, affidavits were obtained and the goods were either cor- 

 rectly labeled or withdrawn from sale. As this seemed to be an 

 innocent violation of the law on the part of the dealer, no prose- 

 cutions were made.
