The office of tha state'dairy and food commissioner is busily engaged at this time 1ft looking up offenders against the pure food law, and, according to the officers, every -one-found- violating, the law will be arrested every time that such goods are offered, if warrants are sworn out for the same parties twice a day. By this method it IS hoped to tire out ths offenders, " 'Wj .Intend to prosecute . very" one found violating this law." says EJ. T. Judd, deputy food ' commissioner, . to day. "Some of the "ones arrested have promised to hereafter obey the law in fun,- buraftei the arrests ara- made, we will push the cases whether they feel this way or' not," Since th officials started in persult against the dealers selling cold , storage eggs as fresh stock, there has been a notable decrease In violations of the law.,. Heretofore too much leniency has been given the offenders but officials are now determined to stamp out the practice both for the good of general business conditions and? tha encourage ment of the egg industry.
