While our laws may be deficient IN
sone respects. there are certain rules
iaiu down which are far reaching. The
Host important of these is that all

years governing the preparation of

label his product 'adulterated catsup.'

may be, then he is privileged to pre-
pare 1t just as suits him, with the pre-
s~srVauve, coloring, or any old thing.
On the other hand, II he does not like
TO use the word 'adulterated, which
we ind in a majority of cases to be
true, then he must prepare his goods
and label them as the laws of our state
provide, and the rulings made by the
commissioner, based upon them. Take
catsup, for instance. There must be
no artificial coloring, no starch filler
OF other aduIterant, and no preserya-
tive other than benzoatee of soda, and
that in quantities not to exceed n
part in twelve hundred.
Canned vegetables are to be pre-
pared without the use of saccharine,
bleaches, coloring matter or preserva.

fruit and sugar. or labeled to slow
just what ingredients have been used.
Glucose goods are to have the word
glucose used in connection with the
name. Extracts are to be pure and
uncolored. A compound extract of va
nilla and tonka, or Of vanilla, tonka,
vanollin and coumarin may be sold
when so labeled.

FOR PURE FOODS NEW 'PREXY' FOR UNIVERSITY
Commissioners Sherwood Outlines Work Of The 49,.
Dakota Dairy and Food Department.

The food and dairy department, u
Aar Commissioners Sherwood, has ac-
eomplished much during the two
rears of its existence. In an interview
she commissioner gave some facts
ubjch will be of interest.
aNot only ia South Dakota, but In
Minnesota and North Dakota as WELL"
said Mr.. Sherwood, there will be a
radical change in the preparation and
labelling of fsod products in this falls
shipments. AS a result of the meeting
n the food commissioners in st. Paul
last July, a better understanding has
been reached among the commission
ers and manufacturers, and this will
rebound to the good of both. Each had
his own viewpoint and naturally dis
agreed as to the detail of the prepare
t,on of certain articles of food; still
they did agree on the general PROPOSE
tion that pure and wholesome foods
are much the best for all concerned.
The reputable manufacturers may have
resorted to the a~dulteration of their
goods for the purpose of meeting COM
petition, but never, primarily, for the
purpose OF deception and fraud.
'The commissioners in the states
mentioned. believing this to be a fact,
have taken steps to strike at the root
of the evil by laying down certain
rules which are to govern the prepare
ton of all foods, with the object in
view of relieving the market of adul-
terated articles SO labeled that the con.
sumer is made aware OF their true
character. Owing to the fact that the
various states do not have laws which
are alike in all particulars, it is not
possible to unite in all the details of
policy, but the general line will be fol-
lowed and the details made as nearly
uniform as the laws of the various
states will permit"

The state historical society has re-
Gently come upon the story of a some
what interesting episode in the Indian
history of the state which has quite
passed out of the memory Of any one
now living in the locality.
In 1S47 Capt. Joseph La Barge was
making his first trip up the river as
master of his own vessel, though be
had plotted many a craft safely over
the turbid Missouri's channels in pre-
vious years. He was accompanied on
this trip of the Martha by his wife, and
she was undoubtedly the first white
woman to enter the South Dakota
country.
At that time It was the custom OF
the government to send annually an
agent into the Indian country to dis
tribute presents to the natives, and
on this trip Capt La Barge was ac-
companied by an agent by the name OF
Matlock, who appeared to be more
Jealous for the advantage of the Amer
lean Fur company than for the good OF
the savages. Colin Campbell. the fur
company's agent at Fort Pierre, was
also along.
When the boat arrived at the mouth
OF Crow creek, In what is now Buffalo
county, they came rpon the Yanktons,
and Matlock told them he had pres
ents for them, bat they must go TO Fort
Pierre to receive them. To this he
Indians demurred, arguing that 1t was
unnecessary for them to make the tire
some journey for something they could
as we'll receive where they were.
Campbell, always oficious, represent
ed to them that the facilities for ham
ding the goods were much better at
The fort than there, but they protested
30 vigorously that Matlock dealt out a
portion Of their trinkets and then IN
sisted that they must go to the tort
Tor the remainder.
The Indians received this ulttnnatum
In sullen silence. Campbell had pre-
pered a lot of wood for the steamboat
at Crow creek, but when the boatmen
attempted to take 1t the tribe or the
mighty Yanktons, overcome by weari-
ness. a upon It and % a stick could

BLIGHTS HER LIFE
Miss Adama Sues Hospital for
$4,000 Damages.

The blighted matrimonial aspirations
of Miss Rosa Adama may yet cost the
trustees of st. Joseph's hospital a
pretty penny.
In a suit brought yesterday in the
district court against the hospital Miss
Adama fixes her damages, including
some severe injuries received by fall
through an elevator shaft, at $4,000.
Miss Adama. according to her story,
was employed last April at the hospi
tai in the capacity of try girl" Be
ing ordered to carry some food to one
of the nurses on an upper floor, she
attempted to use the elevator. Seeing
the doors open, she stepped onto what
she thought was the platform of the
lift, but the platform was not there
and she was precipitated to the bottom
of the shaft.
Her injuries were a broken arm and
a number of bruises, and as a result
she says she is permanently injured.
Prior to the accident her attorney
says, she was a matrimonial possibili-
ty, but now her fractured arm has
bad defect, the other arm is crippled,
and her chances of matrimony are ma
terially reduced. Her earning capacity,
she says, has also been lessened.
Miss Adama alleges that the hospital
authorities were negligent in that they
allowed a twelve year old boy to han
die the elevator.

The Beautiful Horses and EquIpaqe
Shown Yesterday by Nelson Morris &
Co. Attracts Much Attention.

in the business district yesterday after

full six-horse team paraded the principal

is.
Beauty was prominent in every part of

driver and attendants to the shining spick
and span harnesses of the horses, and the
horses themselves were most beautiful of
all. Ranging in size from the .'wheelers, .
which weigh 1920 pounds eaeh to the
handsome, active i.leaders,'' whose weight
is but LOO pounds, 1the animals (Clydes-
dale geldingS) are perfectly matched and
are decidedly attractive in action.
The wagon to which they were hitched
is an immense affair, constructed for
heavy hauling. It was turned out at the
Nelson Morris & Co. shops, Union Stock
Yards, Chicago, weighs 5000 pounds. and
has carrying capacity of $4,000 pounds
1t is painted dark red, and with its dec
orations of gold andsshining brass mount
ings, it is very attractive.
The outfit, which was shipped from
Chicago on one sofsthe coIapanys cars, will
remain on exhibition at the fair grounds
all week, when the horses and wagon will
be returned to Chicago where the horses
will resume their daily duties interrupted
