The late DR.. Henry ID. Holton of

the particular field of endeavor to
which he was called early in life, and
his earnestness was nowhere more evil
dent than when he was serving on the
state board of health as executive of
ficer. Dr. Holton = faith in the value
of the public health service led him to
go to the limit of the law S specifica-
tions oftentimcs, and consequently he
now and then was criticized for strict
observance Of the letter of the rcgula-
tions. However, even those who dis
agreed with DR.. Holton generally adj
mitted that his diligence in the work
was due to earnest desire to do tn
best as it appeared to him.

cial, 1.-The Black Hills Brewing COM
pany, of Central City, was caught by

Rather than dismantle its plant and
cease business entirely the brewing
company, which was the largest Of
