Grace Bernard Confesses She Aided
Two Girls Into Crime.

= Grace Bernard, pretty shoplifter
with O. police record, was arrested last
night by Detectives Howard and Law
renee. She is charged with taking sew
eral silk skirts from department
store. She was the mysterious Hthird
woman with Pearl Harris and Mar
garet Wilbur two weeks ago VIXEN they
were arrested on the same charge.
These girls said they did not know
their companion. but that she led them
into the trouble. They are now serv-
ing sentences at the workhouse.
The Bernard woman was arrested six
months ago and the detectives found
stolen goods in her room valued at
nearly $1,000. She was released on
probation and an effort was made to
reform her. In her escapade with the
two girls recently arrested. she eluded
the police, but admits that she is the
girl wanted
After her narrow escape, she went
to st. Paul and engaged rooms, where
she was found last night.
The woman pleaded guilty to q
charge Of petty larceny in police court
today, and was sentenced to ninety
days in the workhouse. This sentence
probably will be suspended in order
that she may be returned to the state
reformatory. She was released from
that institution on probation some
time ago.

UNFAIR ATTACK
FOOD COMMISSIONER ANSWERS
DRUG PAPERS TRADE.
Case Complained OF Is Really Strong
Argument for Food Laws-Manufac-
turer Warned Is Now Complying with
Law and Has Lost No Business or
Reputation.

A fierce attack on +. K. Slater, Min
nesota s dairy and food commissioner,
was made in the October number of the
National Druggist, and it has been re-
printed in pamphlet form. 1t is being
used in the contest waged against a ma
tional food law, and is being sent broad
cast over the country.
The ground for the attack is that the
Minnesota department. condemned a
sauce because itscontained salicylic acid
The pamphlet says that the greatest
chemists and psychologists of the age''
have denied that saicylic acid is harm
full. The article has been used for half
century, and business built up at
great expense, only to be wiped out at
the caprice of a little whipper- snapper
of an official. = The injured manufac-
turer has no remedy. AS clincher, the
circular says:
IF the food commissioner of Mime
sofa, or OF any other state, has it in
his power, by his mere ipse dixit, to de-
stroy this firms business, he can and
doubtless will destroy somebody else's
business, when it suits his purposes, or
when he wills to do it. And we submit
and insist upon it, that it is not wise,
that indeed it is infamous, to put such
power in any mans hands, whoever he
may be-
Commissioner Slater says
The article is, "a chain Of misstate-
ments. I did not forbid the importa-
tion and sale Of the article mentioned.
On the chemist 8 report that it con
tanned salicylic acid, ] notified the man
ufacturers that it was illegal, and that
they must dispose Of the illegal stock
by Jan. L.. They were very reasonable.
and sent their head chemist to confer
with me-. He agreed with me that sail
cyl1c acid was injurious, tho the quaint
ty used in the sauce was small. The
law makes no exceptions as to quantity.
He asked and I gave permission to use
benzoate OF soda insead of salicylic
acid. That .preservative has not been
found to be harmful, as yet at least.
However, they experimental and found
that by sterilizing bottles and ingredi-
ents, they could manufacture the sauce
without any preservative at ALL They
are now doing so, and have EXPRESSED
their thanks to this department. for tax
ing them out Of the rut and bringing
about the change. The sale of the sauce
has never stopped in Minnesota, but it
is now made and sold in strict compli.
ance with the law. No one IS business
has been ruined
1.-The attack is part Of the campaign
being carried on to defeat national
food legislation. Such, talk about manu-
facturers being placed at the mercy OF

The past year was one of wonderful

by about one million five hundred thou

1901, when 90,838,57O bushels were re.

that the figures would not again be
broken, but last year the wheat move

and began. He shaved and shaved.
He scraped and seraped. But he did
