"115. The Committee beg farther to submit the
"following expressions of opinion on points raised before
"them in evidence:—
"(a) That it is desirable to call the attention of those
"engaged in the administration of the Food and
"Drugs Acts to the necessity of adopting effective
"measures to prevent any addition of water,
"separated or condensed milk, or other extraneous
"matter, for the purpose of reducing the quality
"of genuine milk to any limits fixed by regulation
"of the Board of Agriculture."
"(6) That it is desirable that steps should be taken
"with the view of identifying or 'ear-marking'
"separated milk by the addition of some suitable
"and innocuous substance, and by the adoption
"of procedure similar to that provided by Section 7
"of the Food and Drugs Act, 1899, in regard
"to margarine."
"(c) That it is desirable that, so far as may be found
"practicable, the procedure adopted in collecting,
"forwarding, and retaining pending examination,
"samples of milk (including condensed milk) and
"cream under the Food and Drugs Acts should
"be uniform."
"(d) That it is desirable that, so far as may be found
"practicable, the methods of analysis used in the
"examination of samples of milk (including con"densed
milk) or cream taken under the Food
"and Drugs Acts should be uniform."
"(f) That it is desirable in the case of condensed milk
"(other than that labelled' machine-skimmed
"' milk 'or' skimmed milk, 'in conformity with
"Section 11 of the Food and Drugs Act, 1899),
