"a Aberdeen, s. D., Sept. Pc. s. Johnson Of
Armour democratic national committeeman, and
W. T. La Toilette, editor of the Mitchell Gazette,
were here over night In consultation with Con-
gressional Committeeman G. Boyd Barrett.
The democrats are exhibiting much activity
in South Dakota, and 1t is asserted by those
closest to the leaders that this Is not occasioned
by any expectation of making any substantial
gain in the state this year, but for reasons
wholly unconnected with the campaign for state
offices. The element Of the state democracy in
control Of the party organization Is devoted to
Bryan, and Is bitterly resentful Of the manner
in which the silver leader and Frank Pettigrew
were treated at ST. Louis. They also firmly be-
lieve that Parker will be defeated, and that his
defeat will be followed by reorganization of
the party along the lines recently laid down by
Bryan. % .,<f ..>,' ...' -.
Leading democrats Of the state are, therefore,
preparing to expend money and do much hard
work in an effort to keep the republican majority
small as possible In order to maintain their
control of the party when the expected reorgan-
ization is brought about -> - -.- :
Common Food Authorizations.
Professor James H. Shepard of the South Da-
kota agricultural college, who is also chemist
and analyst for the state food and dairy commits
sion, has sent his annual report to Commissioners
c. 2. Sherwood and it is now in the hands Of
the state printers. That portion of the report
dealing with the analysis of food offered for, the
consumption of the public is interesting.
In all, Professor Shepard analysed 21S samples
thirds, found to be adulterat ted in some
way. Cheap whisky vinegars were colored and
boiled cider added sparingly to give the requisite
cider flavor. Cider vinegar was aduterated
| with acetic acid, and many other forms of adul-
| teratfon were found " e..
| OF seventy -six samples of syrups and honey
| examined forty -one, over so per cent. were
| found to be adulterated to degree prohibited
| by law, atho the chemist finds the maple syrups
1 on the market generally pure enough to pass
muster. OF twenty-eight tomato catsups tested,
| twenty-one were condemned. OF ffty-three
wheat flour, baking powder, prepared mincemeat
| lard ETC., twenty three were condemned. One
hundred and twenty-one samples Of canned goods
of various sorts, including jams and jell1es, as
we'll as vegetables and fruits were analysed
and forty Eight condemned. Over four-ffths
| of the favoring extracts examined were put I'M
| der BAN -.'!.%
Both Commissioner Sherwood and Professor
! Shepard urge the necessity of additional 'appro-
priations and an extension of the powers of the
| commission in order to deal adequately with the
| important subject Of food adulteration. u
