Pure Food Work Given Home.


The state has acquired title and
been delivered the deed of two add.
tional lots of land facing the state
house grounds on Eleventh street be.
tween Capitol avenue and Walnut
street.
On this land is three story brick
fat building. An order has been made
by the state executive council direct
ing the removal Of the state dairy
and food commission from the capitol
to the new structure, where 1t will
assemble it's laboratory and prepare
for the campaign to purify the foods
of the state after the law goes into
effect in July.
At present there are no plans for
the housing of other commissions or
boards in the new structure. Later,
doubtless, others will be placed there
in. The removed Of the dairy COM
mission to its own quarters will re-
lieve some of the congestion of the
state house.
This building is already crowded
by the number of official boards and
commissions created by the legisla.
ture. The travelling library and state
library commission will be moved from
the state house to the historical build
ing within short time. There will
be a shifting of Offices, then, in some
respects. 1t has been desired for a
long time that the board of control
be located in part, at least, on the
main floor of the building. This seems
now not to be possible, but the legis
lature next winter may adjust 1t.

TWENTY OFFICERS
LOSE THEIR PLACES
New Legislation Hits the
Iowa National
Guard
MULLAN RENDERS AN OPINION
When Bill Passed AboIshing Certain
Offices and Another Subsequently
Passed Creating the Offices, the
present i1cumbents Were Ousted.

Des Moines.-Attorney General Null
Ian has decided for Adjutant Thrift
that about twenty National Guard Of
ticers were legislated out of office by
the last general assembly.
General Thrift submitted to the at.
torney general the question Of the ef-
feet of some Of the sweeping provis-
ions Of the new military code and
has been advised that the entire medi-
cal staff of the whole guard as well
as the inspectors and the officers in
charge of small arms practice, etc.,
have been decapitated by action of
the law.
1t was supposed when the seventh
section of the bill abolished certain
offices and another subsequent section
recreated the offices, that the officers
incumbent in the places at that time
would continue in the new offices.
Not so, says General Mullan.
Acting on this opinion, General
Thrift has notified the colonies of the
regiments that their surgeons are out
Of commission and he has asked for
recommendations for appointments to
several of the places which were re-
created by the law.
General Thrift gives the retiring Of.
ficers an honorable discharge, OF
course, and directs them to turn over
whatever guard property they may
have to the acting quartermaster gen.
eral at Des Moines. Major surgeons
are directed to discharge their men on

tween Burt and Fenton; Spirit Lake

toll. A new equipment will be in
