PUBLIC ROADS
To the Foreman of the Grand Jury:
We YOUR committee on public
roads beg leave to report as
follows:
So far as we were able to learn
the roads generally throughout
he county are not in good con-
ition especially is this so in
! amoille Valley ard in Secret
Pass and Valley.
In Laoille in the lane between
Morrow's and Clubine's ranches
they are practically impossible.
In Secret Pass and Valley the
bridges are in very bad condition.
We recommend that the Lamoille
road be graded and the bridges
in Secret Pass and Valley be
repaired.
We also recommend that parties
using r5?tion engines be notified
to use every prccaution in crossing
county bridges.
We find that traction engines
have done considerable damage
to county bridges res ulting in a
very considerable cost to the county
on account thereof in money.

Standard Of the National Law
Should Be Raised, Says Ladd

tomatoes, of the use Of large amount
Of water to take the place of the well
known article of food.
| 1t does not prohibit by name even
the most harmful of chemical preserv-
atives. Why should not the national
law prohibit in the terms of the stat
ute itself such products as formalde-
hyde, salicylic acid, sulphurous acid
and other well known Injurious pre-
servatives? The law does not prohibit
| the use of that deceptive and fraudu-
lent product saccharin or coal tar
sugar, both preservative and sweet
ening agent without being in any sense
possessed of food value.
| The law'is not clear and specific with
regard to the use of added foreign
color.
Guarantee Clause Deceptive.
The guarantee clause by interpreta-
ton and use of the serial number has
become as deceptive and misleading to
the average consumer as the most
cunningly worded phrase formerly
used upon the label.
1t Is evident, therefore. that the
better of our state laws should not be
lowered to the standard of the riational
law, but that uniformity should come
by raising the standard of the nation
al law SO as to offer honest protec-
ton to the public, and then the Of
ficials charged with its enforcement
should have in mind the protection
Of the honest manufacturer and the
consuming public, and this without
excluding from sale a single article
,of food that has merit. not catering to
the wish of the few who would still
live as parasites from the labor OF the
many.
Renxoate of Soda.
No question has attracted more at
tention during the past two years in
connection with our pure food law,
than the use OF benzoate of soda. and
this because certain men, who have to
do with the enforcement Of the nation
al law, have freely permitted of it's use
In all classes Of food products. provid-
Ing statement Of its presence is made
upon the label, 1t is well known that
benzoate' OF soda is more often used to
cover up unsanitary conditions, unfit
food material and conditions which
should not be permitted to exist than
as a necessary preservative for foods
OF good quality. In other words. it is
being made to do duty for the lack Of
proper sanitation. The controversy
has gone on indirectly among officials
of the national government in connec-
ton with food work. in spite Of the
fact that the American Medical ASSOC
citation has protested against the use
Of benzoate Of sode and their atti-
tude has been endorsed by state med :
ical associations and by leading ply
sicians throughout the country. Ger
tainly benzoate Of soda has not been
proven to be harmless, but instances
are known where its presence has
been Injurious. Then why should the
food men be given the benefit Of doubt
instead Of the consumer?
Unnecessary, Why Tolerated.
Since there are plenty of individual
Arms who are able to put out articles
Of food or every description without !
the use of benzoate Of soda or other
chemical preservatives, then why

BEGINS CONTEST
IN WALSH co.
CLAIMS SUCCESSFUL CANDIDATE
IN WALSH COUNTY is NOT A
LEGAL RESIDENT.

Grafton, N. D., Dec. 2.-B. B. Wells,
defeated in the recent election by ].
Erickson for the position of county
superintendent of Walsh county, has
commenced an action tcontesting the
result. He contends that Erickson
is not a resident of North Dakota, or
of Walsh county.
In the complaint that has been
served upon the contested, it is
charged by Wells that Erickson only
recently proved up on government
homestead in South Dakota, and that
1t has only been since that time that
he had been located in Walsh county,
residing near Hammond. vat
The contest will be exceptionally
interesting to the people of Walsh
county as the campaign for the posi-
ton was one of the hottest in the
county Erickson being declared elect
ed by. majority of only seven votes.
Up to the time the canvassing board
met, the fiPures had shown That Wells
was winner by. the sd-7e majority
that Erickson was in reality elected

The work done by Professor Ladd
in enforcing the pure food law is at
tracing wide attention all over the
country. The following article. which
has been written for The Twin City
Commercial Bulletin, will prove inter
esting to North Dakota readers:
The editor has asked that l make a
statement with regard to several per-
tinent questions In connection with the
work under our various food laws.
There is no question but what great
advantage would come not only to the
consuming public. but to the manufae-
turers and jobbers as well could we
have uniform state and national laws
covering the question of foods. How
ever so long as interested parties,
who are producers and handlers OF
adulterated, misbranded and short
weight goods exert or have an undue
influence in shaping legislation, we
cannot hope for uniformity. Neither
can we hope for uniformity in these
laws so long as there are influential
politicians engaged in enforcing or in
terpreting either state or national law
and apparently using their influence
10 prevent uniformity, unless IL is uni
formity which they seek for the bene-
fit of the very class of perpetrators of
fraud, whom the consumers have been
endeagoring to displacs. The courts
and not individuals should on mooted
questions interpret the law.
National Law Compromise Measure.
1t is a well known fact that the ma
tional law. at best, is but a COM
promise measure. The influences.
which made 1t a. compromise measure
are now pretty well known. The men
who lent their influence to ii or stand
high in offlcialdom, among food man
ufacturers. or wholesalers are also
pretty well known and marked.
The national law Is defective in that
II does not require the name and adj
dress or the manufacturer to be given
who send out inferior products to
place their goods in competition with
high grade goods and escape punish
ment in publicity before the public
The law Is deficient In that Ii does
not require the net weight or measure
OF the products, and thus permits of
the sale of short weight and measure
foods and beverages In competition
with net weight products, and cum
ningly worded advertisements and oral
words mislead and deceive the pur-
chaser.
Does Not Require True Grade.
The law does not require that the
true grade shall be shown, thus per-
hitting, even In canned goods like

BUY RED CROSS SEALS


A man Of facts and figures in a
4 Pennsylvania city recently COM
Aputed that the illness and death of
his child from scarlet fever, which
she contracted in school, cost him
$S715O, while his or his neighbor's
share in the prevention of this
easily preventable disease would
amount to only s3.47 4, similar
calculation could be made in the
case OF tuberculosis.
Suppose man, father of a fam
lily of three children, and earnir"
SO a day, is taken sick with ,uber-
culosis. What does it cost him to
get well, and what would il cost
each person In the United States to
have prevented him from ever
having had the disease. Here ere
a few of the leading items of ex-
pense to him in getting cured:
Six months treatment in
! sanitarium $3.50

week for six months. 1870. 1872
4 Loss of wages for six months,

Now what would have been the
mans share in the prevention of
tuberculosis?
An ounce of prevention" in

the prevention of tuberculo-
sis. which can be secured

WORLDS FAIR IN CHINA.

Ranking. the old capital city of the Chinese Ming dynasty. on the Yangtse river is this summer inviting the ma % tiOns to the unique spectacle of a Chinese world fair. says the Ameri- can Review of Reviews. The exposi- ton is to open on June 1 and remain open for six months The first white city, in China will be a creditable inn itation. though on a smaller scale, of the we'll known eXpositions of Europe and America. Ranking has larger in closed area than even Peking, the walled circumference being twenty five square miles.
 The exposition will occupy a space of 500 by 400 yards. and will be situ ated about half way between the out eI wall and the center of the city, near the SanpailO station of the Ranking City railroad The entire enterprise has been generously conceived on mod ern lines. both in regard to archi tectural design and landscape features The grounds have been judiciously laid out. with broad roAls, and with due consideration for the scenic effect to be obtained by leaving some Of the na tural growth. especially the bamboo  groves. as a background for the build ings. The well known landscape fea- lures of modern western expositions have been copied. with their attractive lawns, flower beds and paths./ while numerous unsightly ponds of malarial proclivities have been converted into ornamental iagoons. With a single eX- ception, the chief buildings are of one story. and on this account have not furnished the scope for architectural display to be secured in larger struc- lures of this character, but no little pains have been spent on the design and construction of each individual building and on its suitable position as related to the general scheme of the exposition. Ample pleasure grounds are found outside the exhibition prop CT. and there is race course hay ing a circuit of one mile
 The exhibits cover the widest possi- ble range. and include all kinds of chinese and foreign products, manu- factures and machinery, together with large variety of exhibits relating to education. the liberal arts, and the various philanthropic and missionary enterprises in China.
