The size of type used to declare the information required by the Act shall not be smaller than 8 point (brevier) capital; Provided, That in case the size of the package will no~ permit the use of 8-point type the size of the type may b,e reduced proportionately.
(6) Descriptive matter upon the label shall be free from any statement, design, or device regarding the article or the ingredients or substances contained therein, or quality thereof, or place of origin, which is false or misleading in any particular. The term "design" or "device" applies to pictorial matter of every description., and to abbreviations, characters, or signs for weights, measures, or names of substances.
(7) An article containing more than one food product or active medicinal agent is misbranded if named after a single constituent.
Rulino' s.-Harmles vegetable coloring-matter or caramel may be used to color foods or beverages. The use of all mineral dye or coal-tar dyes is prohibited, except those listed below. Until further notice the following coal-tar dyes which are given numbers, the numbers preceding the names referring to the number of the dye in qt.testion, as listed in
A. G. Green's edition of the "Schultz-Julius Systematic Survey of the Organic Coloring Matters," published 10 1904. The list is as follows:
Red Shades-107, Amaranth; 56, Ponceau, 3R ; 517, Erythrosin.

Ruling 8.-It i prohibited to ell, or offer for sale, a food or drug product bearing 110 label upon the packages, or no de criptive matter whateyer connected with it, either by deign, device or otherwi e if aid article be an imitation of or offered for ale under the name of another article. The name and addres of the manufacturer must be given in ca e of mixtures and compounds having a di tinctive name.
Ruling 9.- tatement of the weight or measure of the food contained in a package is not required, but will be required on all food product after September I, 1914. If any such statement i printed it hall be a plain and correct statement of the average net weight or volume, either on or immediately above or below the principal label and of the size of letters specified in Ruling 4.
Ruling IO.-The use of benzoate of soda is permitted (until further notice) in substances in which it has hitherto been u ed. It presence and the quantity used must be hown on the label.
Rulino- 1 I.-It is unlawful to ship or ell oysters or other hellfi h taken from unsanitary or polluted beds. It is lilllawful to hip or sell oysters or other shellfish which have become polluted because of packing tmder unsanitary conditions or being placed in unclean receptacles. In order to prevent pollution during the packing or shipment of oysters, it is necessary to give proper attention to tp.e sanitary condition of the establishment in which they are packed and to use receptacles which have been thoroughly cleaned as soon a emptied.
It is unlawful to hip or ell oy ters or other shellfish which have been subjected to "floating" or "drinking" in brackish water or water containing less salt than that in which they are grown, unle s so labeled.
It is unlawful to hip or sell shucked oysters to which water has been added either directly or in the form of melted ice, unle s so labeled.
Ruling I2-All foods greened with copper salts which are offered for sale in Georgia will be regarded as adulterated under the Food and Drugs Act.
Ruling 13-Until further notice no objection will be made to foods which contain the ordinary quantities of sulphur dioxide, if the fact that such foods have been so prepared is plainly tated upon the label of each package.
n atmormal quantity of sulphur dioxide placed in food for the purpose of marketing an excessive moisture content will be regarded as fraudulent adulteration and in violation of the Food and Druo-s Act of Georgia.
Ruling I4.-Flour bleached with nitrogen peroxide is adulterated under the Food and Drugs Act of August 21, I906. The character of the adulteration is such that no statement upon the label will bring bleached flour within the law, and such flour can not be legally made or sold in the State of Georgia.
I
Rulirw Is.-The percentage of alcohol is not required to
SI
be stated on the label in the case of extracts sold for the preparation of foods only. All products made in imitation of flavoring extracts should be labeled "Imitation" or "Artificial." For instance, a product of tonka extract, coumarin and vanillin, with or without vanilla extract, should be labeled "Imitation Vanilla Extract" or "Artificial Vanilla Extract." The term "flavor" and "extract" will be considered the same. rtificial colors should be declared when present.
Ruling r6-Canned Goods: Use of Water, Brine, Syrup, Sauce, and Similar Substances in the Preparation ThereofThe can in canned food products serves not only as a container, but also as an index of the quantity of food therein. It shoul.d be as full of food as is practicable for packing and processing without injuring the quality or appearance of the content. Some food products may be canned without the addition of any other substances whatsoever-for example, tomatoes. The addition.of water in such instances is deemed adulteration. Other foods may require the addition of water, b.rine, ugar or syrup, either to combine with the food for its proper preparation or for the purpose of sterilization-fqr instance, peas. In this case the can should be packed as full as practicable with the peas and should contain only sufficient liquor to fill the interstices and cover the product.
Canned foods, therefore, will be deemed to be adulterated if they are found to contain water, brine, syrup, sauce, or imilar substances in excess of the amount necessary for their proper preparation and sterilization.
It has come to the notice of the department that pulp prepared from trimmings, cores, and other waste materi::..l Is sometimes added to canned tomatoes. It is the opinion d the Department that pulp is not a normal ingredient of canned tomatoes, and such addition is, therefore, adulteration. It is the further opinion of the Department that the addition of tomato juice in excess of the amount present in the tomatoes used is adulteration-that is, if in the canning of a lot of tomatoes more juice be added than is present ill that lot, the same will be considered an adulteration.
Ruling 17.-Labeling of Chocolate and Cocoa.-A.:fter con!'ideration of the evidence submitted in regard to the n'eaning d the terms "chocolate" and "cocoa," the Deparhr.ent has reached the conclusion that the definitions laid down in the "Standards of Purity for Food Products" adopted by the Ccmmittee on Food Standards, Association of Official Agricultural Chemists, and printed in Circular No J9, Ofiice of the United States Secretary of Agriculture, are substantiall~' cOHn t By these definitions t;e name" "cho::Jlate" "pIa in chocolate," "bitter chocolate," "chocolate' liquor," and "bitter chocolate coatings" are applied to the solid or plastic mass obtained by grinding cocoa nibs without the removal of fat or other constitnents except the germ, containing not more than three (3) per cent. of ash insoluble in water, three and fifty hundredths (3.5) per cent. of crude fibre, and nine (9) per cent. of starch, and not less than forty-five (45) per cent. of cocoa fat.
"Sweet chocolate" and "sweet chocolate coatings" are terms
S3
applied to chocolate mixed with sugar (sucrose), with or without the addition of cocoa butter, spices, or other flavoring materials, and contain in the sugar and fat-free residue no higher percentage of either ash, fibre, or starch than is found in the sugar and fat-free residue of chocolate.
Cocoa, and powdered cocoa, are terms applied to cocoa nibs, with or without the germ derived of a portion of its fat and finely pulverized, and contain percentages of ash, crude fibre, and starch corresponding to those in chocolate after correction for fat removed.
Sweet cocoa, and sweetened cocoa, are terms applied to cocoa mixed with ugar (sucrose), and contain not more than sixty (60) per cent. of sugar (sucrose), and in the sugar and fat-free residue no higher percentage of either ash, crude fibre, or starch than is found in the sugar and fat-free residue of chocolate.
Cocoa nibs, and cracked cocoa, are the roasted broken seeds of the cocoa tree from shell or husk.
Milk chocolate and milk cocoa, in the 0pll1lOn of the Department, hould contain not Ie s than 12 per cent. of milk solid . and the o-called nut chocolates should contain subtantial quantities of nuts. If ugar is added, for example, to milk chocolate, it should be labeled "sweet milk chocolate," "sweet nut chocolate," etc.
"hen cocoa i treated with an alkali or an alkaline salt. a 111 the so-called Dutch proces , and the finished cocoa con-
54
tains increased mineral matter as the result of this treatment, but no alkali as such is present, the label should bear a statement to the effect that the cocoa contains added mineral ingredients, stating the amount. Cocoas and chocolates containing an appreciable amount of free alkali are adulterated.
Ruling lB.-The Coloring of Green Citrus Fruits.-The attention of the Department of griculture has been directed to the shipment into this State of green, immature citrus fruits, particularly oranges, which have been artificially colored by holding in a warm, moist atmosphere for a short period of time after removal from the tree. Eviqence is adduced showing that such oranges do not cQange in sugar or acid content after removal from the tree. Evidence further shows that the same oranges remaining on the tree mcrease markedly in ugar content and decrease in acid content. Further, there is evidence to show that the consumption of such immature oranges, e pecially by children, is apt to be attended by serious disturb.ances of the digestive system.
Under the Food and Drugs Act, an article of food is adulterated 'if it be mixed, colored, powdered, coated, or stained in a manner whereby damage or inferiority is concealed." It i the opinion of the Department that oranges treated as mentioned above are colored in a manner whereby inferiority is concealed and are, therefore, adulterated.
The Department recognizes the fact that certain varieties of oranges attain maturity as to size, sweetness, and a.ddity before the color changes from green to yellow, and thi~ rul-
mg it not intended to interfere with the marketing of st~ch oranges.
Ruling 19.-Under authority vested in me as Commi~sioner of . griculture of the State of Georgia by the Fo\x! and Drugs Act, approved August 21, 1906, I hereby rule:
It shall be unlawful for any person or persons in the State of .Georgia to keep, use or maintain any place, building or premises or vehicle for transportation for the purpose of manufacture, storage, handling, distributiop, sale, preparation or transportation of any food or food product, where such food or food product may become contaminated or subjected to contamination, rendering such food or food product unfit for food, on account of unsanitary surroundings or conditions of such place, building, premises or vehicle.

Ruling 2I-Use of the Term "Sweet Oil."-From time to time this Department has received inquiries asking w~lether or not it is permissible, under the Food and Drugs Act, to label cottonseed-oil as " weet oiL" Investigations have shown that some samples marked "sweet oil" consist of cottonseed-oil or a mixture of olive oil and cottonseed-oil. A careful consideration of the subject leads to the conclusion that the only oil to which the term "sweet oil" may be correctly applied is olive oil.
It is held, therefore, that any oil other than olive oil is misbranded when sold under the name "sweet oiL" It is not correct, for example, to label cottonseed-oil as "sweet oil" and then elsewhere on the label to describe correctly the true character of the oil.
Ruling 22.-If the la~l or package of any drug shall bear or contain any statement, design or device regarding the curative or therapeutic effect of such article or any of the ingredients or substances contained therein which is false or

CONCE TRATED COMMERCIAL FEEDI G-STUFF RULES AND REGULATIONS
The following Rules and Regulations have been prescribed by the Commissioner of Agriculture, which are designed to explain and facilitate the execution of the various sections of the Act relating to feed-stuffs:
REGISTRA1'ION
First-All manufacturers, agents or dealers who propose

apply to the Commissioner of Agriculture for blank forms
on which they will be required to register the name or brand
of the feeding-stuff which they propose to sell, their own
names and addresses, and also the place where their goods
are manufactured Provided, a person desiring to so register
is not the actual manufacturer, he may be permitted to regis-
ter and guarantee the product, using the words, "manufac-
tured for or guaranteed by." They must also give the guar-
anteed analysis of their goods, stating the minimum per-
centage of protein and fat which they contain, and the maxi-
mum percentage of crude fibre. They must also register the

Thi1d-Three guarantees are required on our registration sheet, viz.: the minimum percentage of fat and protein and the maximum percentage of fibre; in other words, the fat and protein in a manufacturer's goods must not be less than his guarantee and the fibre must not be above his guarantee.
Fourth-In the case of pure wheat-bran, pure wheat-middlings, or bran and middlings mixed; rice-bran, rice-polish, rice-meal, corn and oat feeds. cottonseed-meal, linseed-meal and mala es and suO'ar feed, thi Department fixes the mini-
mum guarantee or standards of purity for protein and fat, and maximum guarantee for fibre as given under the head of standards of purity. In all other feeds or mixtures of feeds the manufacturer is permitted to make his own minimum guarantee of protein and fat, and his maximum guarantee of fibre' Provided, that no feeds or mixtures of feeds will be accepted for registration or allowed to be offered for sale in this State that contain less than ten per cent. crude protein or until standards are fixed by this Department for the feeds offered for registration, and he is then expected to live up to his guarantee.
Fifth-Provided a manufacturer wishe to guarantee his \vheat-bran at standards lower than fixed by this Department. but not less than: crude protein, 13.5 per cent.; crude fat, 3.50 per cent. fibre, not more than 10 per cent., he is permitted to do 0, but must use the words "second class" in that event before the \\'ords 'wheat-bran" and in letters a. large a. any on the tag.
Sixth-It is optional with the manufacturer or sellers whether the sack be branded, although that is desired always; but the required items must always be printed on the tag in black-colored ink, but not printed with a rubber tamp. The tag stamp must be affixed to the tag preferably alongside the printed matter. but in case of necessity may be attached to the back of the tag.
Seventh-Feeds may be shipped in bulk from a foreign manufacturer direct to a manufacturer who expects to sub-
,
1
sequently ack and tag the arne but in this case the shipper, in consideration of this permi ion, mu t notify this Department at the time of shipment of the name of the consignee ancl the tonnage shipped, otherwise the whole hipment will be subject to eizure as being untagged and unstamped.
Eighth-The principal adulterants employed in the feedtuff trade are oat-hull , barley-hulls, rice-chaff, corncobs, peanut- hells and creenings. Some of the above may be found legitimately in a feed consequent to the grinding of the whole seed but when used out of proper proportions, or in excess of the amount obtained in rrrindin rr the whole seed, or when foreign to the product, or if injurious to the health of domestic animals, would be con idered an adulteration.
Ninth-When wheat-bran and screenings are mixed, the mixture hall be branded "\Vheat-bran and Screenings," and the word "Screening" shall appear in the ame ize type as the words "Wheat-bran."
Tenth-The sale of poultry and cattle food which contain poisonous weed eeds in appreciable quantities, such as corn cockle and jim on weed (Jame town weed), are forbidden.
Eleventh-When corn-bran is mixed with wheat-bran, the mixture hall not be branded "Bran," but shall be branded "Mixed Bran," or under a trade name, and so registered with the Department of Agriculture.
Twelfth-'vVhen wheat-bran is mixed with corn-bran and wheat-middlings, the mixture shall not be branded "Bran and
66
iiddlings," or "Bran and Middlings Mixed," but shall be branded "Mixed Feed," or "Feed," or under some tradtl name, and so registered with the Department of Agriculture.
Tlvirteenth-----When corn-bran is mixed with wheat-middlings, the mixture shall not be branded "Middlings," or "Middlings and Bran," but shall be branded "Mixed Feed," or "Feed," or under some trade name, and so registered with the D.epartment of Agriculture.
Fourteenth-No feeds shall be registered or allowed on sale in this State under a name that is misleading as to its quality.
Fifteenth-The Commissioner of Agriculture shall have the power to require registrations. annually of any or all concentrated feed-stuffs old, offered or exposed for sale in this State.
Sixteenth-Until further notice, manufacturers of poultry' and condimental feeds, who have been accustomed to the use of 19-, 20-, 40-, and So-pound packages, will be permitted to put ten IO-pound, or five 20-pound, packages in a 100pound sack or package, the large package bearing the usual tag and stamp tax of one cent, together with the guaranteed analysis and name and address of the manufacturer. A legend should be printed .on each small package contained in the sack, giving the guaranteed analysis and noting the fact that it is 1-10 or 1-5, as the case may be, of the larger packages on which tax has been paid.
Seventeenth-The Commissioner of Agriculture shall have the power to refuse or allow any manufacturer, importer, jobber, broker, agent, dealer, or any person or persons, to lower the registration or guaranteed analysis of his or their product during the calendar year unless satisfactory reasons are presented for making such change or changes.
Eighteenth--All cottonseed-meal less than 38.62 per cent. .protein shall be sold as cQ..ttonseed feed meal.
Nineteenth-Brown shorts is simply a trade name, being generally reground wheat-bran. It is liable to seizure if, for instance, it should contain corn-bran, because we would consider it as being sold under a misleading name. Corncobmeal can not be sold either separate or mixed with other feeds; it is simply ground-up corncobs; neither can oat-hulls, rice-chaff or peanut-shells be sold separately or mixed. Shipstuff does not imply a feed or mixture of any definite composition' it must not contain oat-hulls, corncobs, peanut-shells, rice-chaff, or other adulterants. It is generally a wheat product, being largely reground wheat-bran. If it is a mixture it must be branded and sold as a mixed feed; if a pure wheat product, it may be sold under the same conditions as wheatbran.
Twentieth-If any manufacturer or dealer shall ship into or within this State feeding-stuffs, within the meaning of this Act, unsacked or in bulk, the car containing such feeding-stuffs must have the requisite number of inspection
68
stamps attached or affixed and In such manner a to be secure from removal by rain.

Under section 17 of the Food and Drugs Act, it is made the duty of the sheriffs of this State to seize and sell at public sale any feed- tuff which they may find or have pointed out to them which has not attached to the package containing it the inspection stamp required by law, unless satisfactory evidence is submitted showing that the same has been attached. The attention of sheriffs is called to this duty, and its faithful performance is urged for the protection of the citizen of their counties from fraudulent and adulterated feedstuffs.
Twenty-first-Corn-chop, when sold, exposed or offered for sale in this State. is subject to the requirements of concentrated commercial feeding-stuffs under section 12 of the Food and Drugs Act of Georgia. Cracked-corn, when so branded or marked an~ made of the whole <Trains and no part extracted, may be sold, exposed or offered for sale in this State without the annual registration, guarantee analysis tag ami tax stamp.

for sale, showing the true composition of the mixture or the character of the adulteration, it will be considered a violation of the Food and Drugs Act of Georgia.
\
Twenty-tlvird-If any seeds or grains be bleached by chem~ ical process for the purpose of sale in this State and the package containing it or in which it is offered for sale not plainly marked showing the arne, it will be considered a violation of the Food and Drugs Act of Georgia.
