Two large audiences were present and
listened attentively throughout.
Mr.. Adams has been here for the
past week for the purpose of organiz-

just started work in South Dakota
and Brookings will be the pioneer
lodge and as a matter of pride Mr..
Adams hopes to make it the banner
one OF the state. Unlike some frater-
nal orders, the society does not take
in everybody for the mere purpose of
securing numbers, but looks to quality
and quantity follows as a matter of
course. The headquarters of the So
ciety is Cedar Rapids Iowa. where the
home lodge has / 200 active members.

NEW OPERA HOUSE MANAGER
Ed Carlisle is Appointed by Board of
Directors.

AT meeting of the directors of the
Fraternity company held Thursday. II.
l.. Walker. who has been manager of
the opera house since it was built
rendered his resignation. The board
accepted it and elected Ed Carlisle
as manager for the balance of Mr..
walkers term which expires in Janu-
airy, at which time the new board of
directors to be elected at the annual
meeting, will name manager for the
next year.
Mr.. Walker was obliged to retire
at this time, as he takes possession
of the big Gottschalk opera house at
Aberdeen Oh January 1st, and he i'm.
tends to make his home there and
from that city handle the rapidly grow
ing business of his theatrical circuit
Mr.. Walker was appointed manager
of the local opera house on it's open,
ing in January, 1905, and that he has
made good is attested by his reelec.
tion at each annual meeting since
that time. He has made the house
a winner financially and has given
the people a class of shows not ordn.
arily seen in a city the size of Brook
ings. The Register has found Mr..
Walker to be very accommodating and
pleasing to do business with, and we
are sorry to have him retire. That he
will make good at Aberdeen is a fore
gone conclusion.
Mr.. Carlisle, the new manager, has
had considerable experience i'm that
line of work, having been assistant
manager of the house and in charge
Of many of the business details during
the past two or three years. He was
the logical man for the place. and we
look for his administration to be a
successful one.

: SEEK ADVICE.
Commi = .er Wheaton to Confer With
81 Druggists.

Fo - nd Dairy Commissioner A. II.
Wh' q informs us that before the
legis.- 'e convenes in January he ex-
poets to confer with the drug manu-
facturers of the country upon the sub.
iect of a pure drug law, which is to
take the place of the one declared
void by the supreme court of the
state.
The last legislature passed an elabo-
rate, but obscurely worded law regu.
lating the sale of drugs. This was
interpreted by the commissioner as
requiring qualitive statement of the
contents of patent medicines sold in
the state. The drug people took the
matter into the courts and the supreme
court decimated the law Now Com
missioner Wheaton says that it is his
desire to cooperate with the drug
dealers of the country, but states that
it they will not, he will make such
recommendation as seem proper to
him. 1t is not unlikely that the legis-
lature will be asked to pass drug
law similar to that approved by con-
gress.
Commissioner Wheaton will also ask
the Legislature to increase the appro-
priatiOn for his office
with the present allowance. it is
impossible for us to get over the
state more fequently than once in six
months. and it should be done every
three months" says the commissioner
"The state is growing more rapidly
than most people realize and it is no
small task TO keep watch Of every
town"
Commissioner Wheaton is consider
ing a suggestion that has come to him
from the whOlosa'o grOcers and one
that is said to be Of considerable i'm
portance to thr'' business. This is
that the state provide canned goods
to be sold under a schedules of es-
tablished grades. The wholesale gro
GERS as it is now. use a system of
grades. But it is complained that COM
petitors may sell goods claiming it
belongs TO a better grade than it is
entitled to have. The retailers. not
being experts, cannot tell the differ
ence and thus an honest wholesaler
may lose business because of the prac-
tice. 1t is urged upon the commits
sioner that ii would protect both the
retailer and the wholesaler for the
state TO give legal recognition to the
generally used classification of canned
goods.

ALL-STAR COLLEGE TEAM.

We have noticed two or three all
star teams picked from among the
college players of the state and with
out exception they have failed to
give Brookings man a place. The
following team, picked by Assistant
Coach Kirk of Vermillion, is fair
sample:
Center-N. Wier, Huron college.
Guard-Gardner. Yankton college.
Guard-Brown, U. S. d.
Tackle-Keeling, U. S. d.
Tackle-Todnem, ID. w. L.
End-Sheeks. d. w. L.
End-Johnson, U. S. d.
Quarter-Thackaberry, U. S. d.
Halfback-Mellick, Yankton college.
Halfback-Evans, u. S. ID.
Fullback-Hare, U. S. d.
Mr.. Kirk says of Coughlin: Cough.
lin, OF S. d. S. c., is perhaps the
most spectacular back in the state,
but his work this season has not been
up to the standard, owing to injuries. A."
1t is true, perhaps, that Coughlin
did not play up to his standard this
year, but that standard is so much
higher than the rest of the players
of the state that it is an injustice to
leave him off an all-star team
The Nermillion critic ranks the
teams as follows: Vermillion, Yank-
ton, Mitchell, Huron, Brookings.

bLEACHED FLOUR
IS NOT PURE
Says Secretary Wilson in Rem,
dering Decision
UPON THIS MUCH MOOTtD QUESTION
Most Important Ruling Ever
Made Under Pure Food Law

Late last evening Professor Shepard
received a telegram from Secretary
Wilson of the L. S. Department of
Agriculture stating that as an out.
come of the recent hearing in Wash.
ington, ID. c., that the manufacture
and sales Of bleached flour has been
prohibited in the District of Columbia,
territories of the United States and in
interstate commerce. The dispatch
giving the text of the decision follows:
Prof. Jas. II. Shepard,
Brookings, S. d.
You are advised that | have today
issued the following decision relative
to bleached flour:
Bleached flour, flour bleached with
nitrogen peroXides affected by the
Food and Drug Act of June 80, 1906
has been made the subject of a care
ful investigation extending several
months. A public hearing of this
subject was held by the Secretary Of
and Drug Inspection, beginning Novem.
Der IS, 1908 and continuing five days.
At the hearing those who favored
the bleaching process and those who
opposed it were given equal OppOrtuni.
ties 10 be heard. 1t is my opinion,
based upon all of the testimony given
1t hA .
those who have investigated the sub
iect, upon the literature and upon the
unanimous opinion of the Board of
Food and Drug Inspection, that bleach.
Cd flour by nitrogen peroxide is an
adulterated product under the Food
and Drug Act of June 80, 1908; that
the character of the adulteratiOn is
such that no statement on the label
will bring bleached flour within the
law. and that such flour cannot be
legally made or sold in the District of
Columbia or in the territories, or be
transported or sold in interstate COM
merce, or be transported or sold in
foreign commerce except under that
portion of Section of the law which
reads: "Proyded that no article shall
be deemed misbranded or adulterated
within the provisions of this act, when
intended for export to any foreign
country or packed according to the
specifications or direction of the for
eign purchaser when no substance is
used in the preparation or packing
thereof in conflict with the laws of
the foreign country to which said ar
ticle is intended to be shipped"
In view of the extent of the bleach.
ing process and of the immense guam
tity of bleached flour now on hand
and in process of manufacture, no
prosecutions will be recommended by
this department of the manufacture
and sale thereof in the District Of
Columbia or the territories or for
transportation or sale in interstate
commerce for a period Of six months
from the date hereof.
Signed:
James Wilson.

ance lecturers, who spoke at big

panic among 1000 temperance re-

her mind about drink being the worst
evil Of the country and denounced
bachelors as being worse than "hel-
lions who run drink dives"
A storm Of Kisses greeted her
words.
'It is the bachelor who today is
the great evil Of America" she said
1T is the bachelor who fosters the
rum evil and who spends his time In
dives IT Is habits he learns as
bachelor that ruin him as a married
man. Let reformers devote their at
tentiin to this crying need-more
husbands.
IF men can only be made to see
their after life all depends on an early
marriage, with a good home and
good wife. life will be easy then there
will be no need for us to fight the
