GROCERS WILL BE COACHED
Will Be Instructed BY Commissioner
Slater Anent Food Laws.

From Tuesdays Daily.
Minnesota grocers are about to be
coached on the requirements of the food
laws and the necessity of keeping a
clean stock of pure goods. The work
has been undertaken by the state dairy
and food commission, which will be rep
resented by COMMISSIONS f. X. Slater
or some of the state inspectors at
meetings Of retail grocers' associations
held in the various counties.
The movement is an innovation as
far as the dairy and food commission is
concerned, and is somewhat similar to
the plan pursued by the commission in
holding dairy and farmers meetings in
various sections of the state. The com
mission takes the position that grocers
need help as much as dairymen and
farmers.
One of the first meetings of this ma
ture will be held today at Stewart,
where the grocers of Mcleod and Rem
vile counties will hold an annual con-
v%ention. j. G. Fowler, Inspector of the
department, will speak at the meeting.
He will explain the effect of the new
code, which will go into effect in March,
and will endeavor to show that it is to
the advantage of grocers that they sell
only legal goods.
Commissioner Slater will perform a
similar task at a meeting of Minneap-
oils retail grocers on Monday night, and
other meetings will be arranged later.
"This is an educational campaign that
we are conducting among the grocers of
the state said Mr.. Slater. Heretofore
the department has confined its atten-
ton largely to gatherings of dairymen
and farmers. These meetings have been
of vast benefit and there is no reason
why they should not be extended to gro
GERS.
"One of the reasons why adulterated
food is sold is because many dealers do
not know what the law requires. Some
times they don't find out until they are
fined or sent to Jail. If there were a
better understanding between the groc-
ers of the state and the food inspect
ors there would be lass adulteration.
"Some of the retail g~rocers' associa.
tons have requested us to appear at
their meetings and we are more than
glad to do so. In this way we can meet
the dealers with but little expense to
certainly prove of mutual benefit"

BIG ATTENDANCE AT CIRCUS
Barnum & Bailey Had a Profitable Day
Yesterday

rum L ucSudy ) Ddlly.
The circus has come and gone, and
with it many good dollars from Manka-
to and vicinity. 1t would be hard to
estimate just how much it took. The
attendance in the afternoon was close
to the full capacity of the tent, which
is about $1,000. In the evening prob
ably not over a third of that number
there were several sideshows and nu-
merous chances to spend money. The
concerts also held a good many after
the performances were over.
The circus was all that was claimed
for it. The show is bigger and better
than ever, and the management is excel
lent. The officials and employees are
gentlemanly, and everything goes off like
clockwork.
Several policemen were ON the grounds
but their services were not needed. for
perfect order prevailed and no cases of
pocket picking were reported.
The fact that the parade was omit
ted seemed to make no difference in the
number of people who attended the per
~formances.
The big show was quickly packed
upon the five special trains that it trav-
els upon and pulled out during the night
for Watertown, s.. d., making the long
jump in time for today's performance.
The paid admissions yesterday after
run up to 1852. At least 5000
people were at the performance last
evening.

Mrs. Charlotte Wood Doherty has
been building up an enviable reputation
for herself in this community as a plan
list, and, when one considers the short
time that she has been here, it is re-
markable that the people nave become
50 well acquainted with her work and
her name is so familiar. That ~reputa-
ton was certainly broadened and en-
HANGED to some extent by the exquisite
entertainment she furnished last night
at the Presbyterian church, together
with Mr.. Floyd Eager, under the aus
pieces of the Ladies' Aid society.
Mrs. Wood Doherty's program was one
to tax the powers of the most skill

Sesses the ability to convey to the anu
