SCANDAL NOW

WASHINGTON. Sept. 1.-One-third
OF the rifle ammunition supplied to
Gen. Pershings expedition proved
faulty. is was learned officially to-
day.
When originally tested at the Frank
fort arsenal. Philadelphia, where Il was
made. the lot was good. Deterioration
afterward rendered the cartridges use
less.
The defectiveness was due t6 the use
of impure domestic potassium chloride.
as the supply of German potassium
was exhausted. The new quality was
found to contain by-produets which re-
acted TO form an acid and prevent ex-
pIosion. As soon as this difficulty was
noticed the department obtained chem
icall pure potassium and has had no
further trouble.

Handling Of Cream Cans

Section twelve OF our present dairy
law governing sanitary conditions in
connection with the production and
handling Of dairy products, as amend
ed by the last Legislature, will re-
quire that all cans used for shipping
cream from cream stations to cream
cries be marked by the owner and
that such mark be registered with the
secretary of state. After a mark or
brand has been registered 1t becomes
a misdemeanor punishable by fine for
anyone except the owner and his law
full agents to have such cans In his
possession. 1t is therefore advisable
that all those having cream cans in
their possession which are the pro-
perty of any cream buying company
or other person or persons return
them before the first of July so that
they may not be subject to embarrass-
ment by being found guilty of viola
ton of this law.-Fort Pierre Times.
