FOOD AND. DAIRY COMMISSIONERS.
Approve and Adopted One of
His Recent Rulings.
True Name of Manufactures and Place
Where Factory is Located Must
Appear ON all Labels.

Commissioner E. w. S mail returned
Saturday morning from his visit to
Portland, Oregon, where he attended
the annual session of the National
Association of Food and Dairy depart
ments. He reports an enjoyable trip
and an interesting meeting of much
value to those interested in pure food
work. Nearly every state in the union
was represented and Mr.. Small is justly
proud of the endorsement of such a
representative body as presented in the
following resolution which was unani-
mously adopted.
Resolved-That we, the National
Association of Dairy and Food Depart
ments hereby, endorse section III, Chap
ter la, of the pure food laws of South
Dakota and approve its liberal enforce
ment by the commissioner of that state.
Said section reads as follows:
"Section III. 1t shall be unlawful for
any person to sell, offer or expose for
sale any article or prepared foods, unless
the true name of the manufacturer aid
the location of the factory where such
article of food is prepared is plainly
printed or stenciled on the package, box
can, carton or other container."
The jobbers and others who have
been allowed in the past to sell the out
put of various factories under their
private labels strongly protest against
the enforcement of this section, while
the packers as vigorously uphold it. 1t
seems just provision of law that the
responsibility for impure products, as
we'll as the credit for pure goods, should
be placed where it belongs-with the
manufacturer. At least this is the view
of the matter taken by the food COM
missioners of the different states as
shown by their resolution and they are
inclined to envy South Dakota and Mr..
Smail--the one for taking such a pro-
gressive step in pure food laws and the
other for having the courage to enforce
this section in the face of the strong
pressure brought to bear to have it con-
structed otherwise.

Florence MiIroy Connolly.

Florence Conley, born in st. Paul,
Mimi, October 25th, 1886, came to
Webster with her parents in the spring
of 1897 and remained here ever since.
She graduated from the Webster high
school in the class of 1905. A short
time ago the family moved to their
farm south of Bristol where Florence
was taken sick early Saturday morning
and rapidly grew worse and in spite of
all aid passed away Sunday evening at
8 o'clock.
The remains were brought to the
Webster home Monday and the funeral
was held Wednesday from st. Mary's
Episcopal church. A short service was
held at the home Wednesday afternoon
at 2:15 tor the family and relatives.
The burial services were at 3 p. m. in
the church. The large number of
friends who crowded the church
attested to the esteem in which the
deceased was held. The floral tributes
were many and beautiful, woven and
arranged by loving hands. The church
was fttingly decorated to witness to
the fact ''non omnis mona"
The short address by the Rev. II.
Nelson Tragitt was on the text, "Flesh
and Blood can not Inherit the Kingdom
of God" We must all pass the way of
the earth before we can be with God,
so it is ours to so live that we may with
joy and gladness welcome our passing
to life eternal. So live that we may be
worthy to join those who have gone
before. The services were impressive
and gave hope ana comfort of better
things.
The sympathy of the community goes
out to the family, the father, mo ther,
sister and brothers, in their bereave-
ment.

1t was understood that the converse

intimate and therefore NO minister
from either government was to be
present, although the Russian minister

the correspondence that has been go

Father Opposes Pardon.

The spectacle of father asking the
Iowa state legislature not to pardon his
own son, will be seen this winter in
Des Moines. A movement of friends
to secure the release of James Toole,
sentenced from Sac City for wife muir
der, is frowned upon by the mans
father, ]. R. Toole. The latter believes
the life sentence was justly imposed.
Toole was sent up from Sac City ten
years ago by Judge 2. A. Church of
Jefferson. The prisoner has main
tanned his innocence all along, claim
ing that the death of his wife was by
accident. The case was extraordinary.
Toole. who was then forty-three years
of age, had been converted at local
revival and went regularly to church.
His wife refused to accompany him.
This depressed him, but he continued
to go alone, sometimes taking his two
children. On the occasion of special
service he used his strongest argu-
ments to get his wife to accompany
him. She would not and laughed at
his profession of religion. He kept his
temper and started. He came back a
little later and renewed efforts to get
his wife to go. He failed again. The
next day neighbors found the body of
Mrs. Toole in her house, her skull split
open. Toole was arrested and con-
demned. His father adopted the two
children and has never doubted the
guilt of his son, although the latter
has always protested his innocence.
1t is said that Judge Church also will
oppose the granting of pardon to
Toole.

institution for Care of tuberculosis
Patients Planned.
The executive committee of the Iowa
Association for the Study and Proven
ton of tuberculosis has drafted a bill
for introduction in the legislative ses-
sion Of this winter providing for the
establishment of a state sanitorium
for tuberculosis patients. The bill as
drawn charges the expenses of treat
ment to the state at $40 per month
per capita, providing for monthly ap-
preparation of $4,000 until the number
of patients shall reach 200. 1t has
been suggested that the state pay all
the expense of treatment; that the
counties from which the patients are
sent pay part of it; and that the pa
tients pay part Of 1t when able; and
combinations of all these plans have
also been proposed. 1t Is provided
that no person shall be treated unless
suffering from incipient pulmonary
tuberculosis and shows reasonable
probability of improvement under
treatment. Hopeless cases of consump-
ton will not be treated. The board of
control Is authorized to appoint ex-
aiming physicians In different, suit
able localities of the state. at SO per
patient examined. The persons who
apply for admission to the sanitorium
by filing application blanks sent to the
superintendent will be examined by
these physicians. Only applicants resi-
dent in the state one year will be ex-
amined. The bill makes the name of
the Institution 1.-THE State Sanitorium
for the Treatment of tuberculosis
and places 1t under the management
of the board of control.
