70 Head off Box Car Merchants.

The Minnesota Dsiry and Food
Commission has inaugurated an elab-
crate detective system for heading off
box car merchants charged with sell
ing goods below the standard of the
pure food lave. The commercial club
or other similar Organization of each
city throughout the state has been re-.
quested to apl oint committee to keep
the commission formed. of the dofngs
of box car merchants This committee
will ascertain when one of the mer-
chants arrives In town and what his
reputation is for fair dealing and an
expert inspector will be sent out by
the commission to Investigate his
goods. In this way the commission
hopes to maintain an efficient detective
force in every town In the state and
the system will be put into effect in
connection with the enforce ment of the
Lauritsen box car merchant law passe d
at the recent legislature. The co.ope-
ration of merch ants throughout, tie
state is a>ked for by the commissic n
and If given this help it is hoped that
1t will practically do away with the
sale of adulterated food products by
box car merchants.

Eiihu Root, former secretary of war,
has consented to enter the cabinet as
secretary of state, succeeding the late
John Hay. Mr.. Root makes great
financial sacrifice In accepting the po-
sttion, but it is generally believed that
he wants the republican nomination
for president in 1908, and takes this
step to keep himself in the public eye.
Intellectually Root is undoubtedly the
superior OF any man 80 far mentioned
