THE PURE FOOD LAW.

What is proving to- be one of the
most important branches Of the state
administration Of South Dakota Is the
state food and drug commission at the
head Of which is Prof. Alfred N. Cook
Of Vermillion.
While In Sioux Falls Prof. Cook
talked Interestingly of the work
of the state food and drug commission.
Recently the commission discovered
a Wholesale firm in the state which
was floating" its oysters. or drink
ing" them as these terms are used
in the trade. The oysters when OBJ
tanned from the east were being put
into galvanized tanks and fioated in
water, under these circumstances the
oysters were absorbing a large Quanti-
ty of water. This practice Is contrary to
tho laws OF South Dakota and con-
trary to the rulings Of the national
department at Washington, which
rules are incumbent upon the commits

Pierre-The summary of the March
teachers examinations for this state
has just been completed, and it eth
or shows that the examinations are
placed on a basis a little too high

sioner to enforce. Under the direc-
ton of Commissioner Cook a fine re-
Gently was imposed for violation of
the state law in this respect.
The department" said Prof Cook,
has this year taken up the systemat-
il examination of drugs in the state.
Several hundred analyses will have
been made before the end of the year.
We are not ready to publish this
list of analysis, but suffice it to say
that a large per cent of them are
either above or below standard, show
ing that it was high time that this
department of work were instituted.
About 500 samples of foods have
been analysed in our laboratories
since the present commissioner as
sumed office last July. Special at
tention has been given canned goods.
Chemical analysis is the only salts
factory basis of inspection. Our work
has disclosed that the food situation,
fro mthe standpoint of adulteration,
is in a very satisfactory condition.
There is a very common idea that
the majority of foods on sale in the
market are badly adulterated which
is far from the truth. The fact is
that only a very small per cent are
found to be adulterated, and those
who buy the best grades Of goods
stand a very small chance of buying
anything which could be considered
adulterated.
There are many firms that would
sell adulterated goods if they dared,
but the food situation is being SO
closely watched by both state and
national food officials that the high
ly adulterated and 'doped' goods of
a very few years ago have nearly
disappeared from the market"

While the detectives will not talk,
it is very reliably ascertained that
the bold robbers of the car are
known and arrests will follow. Until
arrests are made the detectives will
say nothing further than that there
will be sensation when all the facts
come out, and it is limited that par,
ties in high places are involved.
The robbery was skillfully planned
and executed, and the detectives
have had the greatest difficulty in
tracing it, on account of the long
stretch of mileage over which 1t
passed and the number Of opportuni-
ties to break into it on switches and
sidings during the night.
The detectives laid their plans to
cover the various points at which the
cotton might have been seen. After
long and patient search they traced
part of the shipment. and will be
prepared to produce evidence which
is understood to involve certain buy
ers and others.

American enactment, under which
spies can be arrested and punished
