opened for the fall term last Mon
day when the work of registration
was begun. BY Tuesday morning
classes had been organized and were
meeting with commemorate uniform
ity.
The attendance this year is show
! ing a surprising increase over that
| of any preceding year. There are
now in attendance at the college oy-
er twenty-five per cent more students
! than We're present at the end of the
first week last year, which, for the
same time showed a twenty per cent
increase over any year preceding it.
Considering the late season and the
Indictment weather that has prevail
ed during the week, this is certainly
| !, most satisfactory growth.
| All the old students who have re.
turned comment most favorably up
on the many changes and improve
ments that have been accomplished
during the summer. Particularly the
extension of the drill hall and the
expansive permanent looking lines of
| the new engineering building appeal
to them.
| Tuesday afternoon, Coach Dobie
had his protegees out on the campus
shasing the festive pigskin. About
the only familiar faces were Mem
zek's and Beiersdorf' S. Thursday,
Haskins put in an appearance. Sew
era1 new men have been practicing.
4 These include, the two Warmers of
/ Dickey, Berg and Mucklestone of
/ Fargo and Kanten who comes from
Milan, Mimi, and some of them may
after a while develop into material
that will compare with the champions
| of last season, although the outlook
at present is very gloomy.
/ Professor Laid returned Thurs
day from the meeting of the state
pure food commissioners that was
held during the early part of the
week at the Hotel Ryan in st. Paul.
! At this meeting the states Of Illinois,
i Iowa, Minnesota, South Dakota, Wis
consin and North Dakota were rep
/ resented by their food commission
ers and the states of Michigan, In
diana and Wyoming had expressed
i themselves as being in sympathy
i with the purposes of the conference
and were not represented, owing to
4 the fact that their commissioners
were detained by court proceedings
that demanded personal attention.
The sessions were very harmonious
and the commissioners were able, to
i agree on several very important
i phases of their work The use of
i coloring matter in extracts and in
vinegar was condemned and the use
of all filters and coloring matter in
catsups is to be prohibited forth
with. After December list, 1908, it
/ will be Illegal to sell any catsup in
which any use is made of a preserva-
tive The use of preservatives, arti-
fetal sweets, acids and coloring mat
ter in jams, jellies and preserves
is absolutely prohibited. Hereafter
: the name s.salad Oil' will not be
Il sufficient, but the specific name of
e the oil must be given.
A very important point of agree
ment was in the Uniform label that
will be accepted in all of these states
b on all forms of extracts, jellies. jams,
glucose and all artificial pellies.
This is a long step in the right
direction and at last disarms tbs
4 manufacturer of his frequent plea
that it is impossible to conform te
the various pure food laws owing
Ito the fact that all the states re
CURED different forms of package la
bellings. ...8s
Another meeting OF these commits
sioners is to be held soon when is Il
hoped that more steps of this sor
may be taken. 5
