From a Staff Correspondent)
LINCOLN, Ic. S (Special.) Stats
Food Commissioner 8. L. Mains, In his
biennial report, tnaki-i the following rec
nmmnnilatfona for changes In tha food,
drug and dairy laws of Nebraska:
1. An mrni1miTit to the wetKht or meas
ure clauoe to embrace all food offered for
pale In package form.
2. An incrrsse it two food and drug in
spector anil a provision allowing nix extra
dairy Irmtw-elor during the month of
June, July and AiiRust each year.
1. To repeni the tax to operate a cream
ery or chuene factory, or to make a tax
of 5 on all creameries and cheese fac
tories which produce H(.omi pounds or Ices,
and an additional grnded tax on each,
additional jou.imu pounds or fraction
thereof. A similar tnx should be made on
each Ice cream factory.
4. An amendment to the pslnt law mak
ing a hesry penalty for adulteration of
linseed oil. ,
b. An amendment to the sanitation law
making It possible to close without, notice
any unsanitary place where food la served
or sold.
. A law on standard weight and meas
ure and Uie creation of an office of atate
sealer of weights and measures under this
department
7. Repeal of the law requiring commis
sion merchants to file a bond of 2. with
their county Jude and to pay a tax of 110
per year to this department. It appears
to the commissioner that this law has been
drawn almost entirely for the benefit of
bond Int. comptr'ea.
8. Finally, and most urgent of all, a
larger appropriation for Inspectors' sal
aries and traveling expenses. This depart
ment' has been hampered through the
whole blepnlum, by luck of funds.
- -riaanrea of Office.
Purlng the blenntum, the food commis
sioner oollected from creamorles for per
mits to operate K.17.0H; from operators for
permits to sample or test, SK.RM; tor olej
rrmrgarine permits, 1673.58; from commis
sion merchants, t20. making a total
amount collected of $U,31!4.64. The former
commissioner's biennial report showed total
collections of SMffl.S. The total Increase
In fees eolleoted la 16,837.28.
The report shows that Mr. Mains as
sumed the duties of his office January
2R, ltf. Early ' In his administration he
ruled that ; where any question existed as
to the meaning of the state pure food law
and where the national pure food law was
explicit on the same subject the Nebraska
law would be interpreted in accordance
with the national act. The principal para
graph of tbe Nebraska law that was under
dlncusslon, which related to misbranding,
contained this wording:
"If sold for use In Nebraska and In
package form, other than canned goods,
contents, weight 1 or measure are not di
rectly slated on the outside of the pack
age."' .
ome .contended, that this section was
obeyed "when the contents alona were
stated. 'Others argued that the contents
must be stated In terms of weight or
measure. The national act deemed ar
ticles mlsbranded If In package form and
the contents are stated In terms of weight
or measure they are not plainly and cor
rectly stated.
, Interpretation of Net Welsh.
Food Commissioner Mains Interpreted
Un KobraSka act In conformity wtth-tha
ildtlonal law and his ruling allowed food
manufacturers who had retired from the
Mtate to place their products once more
on the Nebraska market. The Nebraska
legislature, being In session, amended the
law, making It clear and explicit. The food
commissioner reports that all manufac
turers willingly complied with the weight
or measure law, except one ,cracker com
pany and the manufacturers of lard and
cuttolene. Suits are pending In the oourts
against these concerns.
During Ms - term rood . Commissioner
Mains has Inspected bakeries, hotels, meat
markets and other plucos where food Is
prepared srnd 'sold. . He says he believes
the food law's .of ,Nabraska are being
strictly obeyed' by manufacturers and dis
tributors a those of any state In the
union, and5 that this result has been at
tained with a minimum number of prose
cutions. .
The legislature of 1900 amtided the food
law by approving the bleaching of flour
for state - consumption by the nitrogen
peroslde method. This amendment was ap
proved by the food commissioner upon In
est!satlon9 made by Dr. Alway of Ne
braska and lrs. W sinner and Teller of
Columbia laboratory.
In the National Association of Elate
Food anfl talry Departments. Food Com
mlssloner Mains and State Chemist Red
fern cast the, .Nebraska vote for a resolu
tion approving the use of bansoate of soda
as s. food preservative, and the resolution
was adopted.
