Idaho State Commissioner Makes
Seizure of Shipments of Gro
ceries From Eastern Points.
CUSTOMERS DISSATISFIED.
Goods Are Not Delivered Until Paid
For. There Being No Chance
For Inspection.
lSneclal to The News.

Montpelier Ida, Jan. 1o.-The state
pure food commissioner, James H.
Wallis, today made seizure of ship
ments of groceries from eastern points
and took samples of different articles
contained in the shipments for the pur-
ose of having them tested at the state
laboratory by Prof. Mason to ascertain
whether the goods are adulterated or
of an inferior quality. and the ship
ments will be held pending the result of
the investigation.
1t has been the custom for agents to
solicit orders from people for groceries
and the goods would not be delivered
until the person to whom they were
sold went to the bank and paid the
sight draft which accompanied the bill
OF lading, and the person ordering the
goods would thus have no opportunity
of inspecting the same until after they
were paid for. Complaints have been
made to the phre food commissioner
that the goods were inferior. adulterat-
ed and not as represented and this
seizure is the beginning of a campaign
to prevent the shipment of adulterated
goods in this state. and no doubt other
seizures and Investigations Will be
made in other places.
