Money in Dakota Treasury.

Pierre.-The statement of condition
of the state treasury for April so
shows that on that date there was a
total of $90S,612 in all funds. OF this
the eneral fund carried S274,27S, which
means that the state will pay cash for
some time to come, as that amount
will easily carry through until the re-
ceipts from the June call for taxes
come in. The twine plant fund shows
a surplus of $4,000; the game fund
S1S,369, but this will be reduced when
the department begins to pay for the
birds and animals which they will Sc
cure for stocking the state. The COM
mon school income fund shows $415,-
Ola, which will go out of the treas
ury in June for the benefit of the
schools of the state, and will material
ly reduce the total cash on hand. This
fund will likely go to over $5OO,0OO
before it is distributed.

est number of these came from STAN

Ice Must Be Pure.

Vermillion.-A large amount of ice
has been harvested and packed every
winter in South Dakota that is of ques-
tionable character. The food depart
ment, up to the present date, has been
dealing with other problems and has
not been able to consider the vital
question of the character of the ice
offered for sale to the public. The time
has come, however, when the depart
ment will assume an aggressive attl-
tude with regard to the matter of ice
wsicn is impure. The department will
object to the sale of ice as food, or to
be added to food, in South Dakota
which is not pure from sanitary
standpoint. Ice is unfit for food under
the following conditions:
l. If it has been taken from pond
or stream which is contaminated by
sewage from cesspools, outhouses,
barns, kitchen wastes, etc.
2. If during the process of freezing
it has not been protected from tres
passers by portable fence or other
suitable means. Ice which is located
at considerable distance from hui
man habitation and out of common
range of trespassers would, of course,
need no such protection.
g. If it has been handled and trans
ported under unclean and unsanitary
conditions
Dealers in ice. hotels, boarding
houses, restaurants and proprietors of
soda fountains are warned against the
sale of ice as food, or in food and
drink, which is contaminated by sew
age or from other causes.
