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 atti-
tude with regard to the matter of ice
which 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 a sanitary
standpoint Ice is unfit for food under
the following conditions:
/. 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
IL has not been protected from tres
passers by portable fence or other
suitable means. Ice which is located
at a considerable distance from hui
man habitation and out of common
range of trespassers would, of course,
need no such protection.
8. 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.

Money in Dakota treasury.

Pierre.-The statement of condition
of the state treasury for April 30
shows that on that date there was a
total of S908,612 in all funds. OF this
the eneral fund carried $274,278, 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
$18,369, 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 s415.-
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 $500,00O
before it is distributed.

Antonio Ponce de Leon, chief Of the
Juarez police under the federal regime,
is now living in an obscure rooming
house IN .El Paso and is making every
effort to obtain employment in order
that he may care for his little daugh-
ter.
Assistant chief Pedroi Loya, the pride
of the Juarez force and the wonder of
all tourists. wearing blue overal1s and
an old SLOUGH hat, has been employed
as a day laborer at the Selden dam in
order that he could earn enough to
feed the six little children that he
brought over from the Mexican town
when the trouble started.
The police who patroled the Juarez
streets during the old days as If they
owned the town lock, stock and bar
rel, are working as unskilled laborers
wherever it is possible to obtain work.
Their uniforms have been put in the
discard and they have fallen from their
high station as buckskin cavaliers at

boring men at twice the money gold.
