One of the latest conceptions for
rendering military uniforms less Wis.,
ible on the field Of battle is to use ma

THE new FOOD LAW
DAKOTA STATUTE CONSIDERED
ONE OF BEST IN THE
COUNTRY.
GOSSIP OF THE STATE HOUSE
A Review OF the Work of the State
Government at the Capitol and
at the Various State
institutions.
Pierre

"
South Dakota now has one OF the
best general pure food laws to be
found in any state in the union. This
is the opinion OF Food Commissioner
Guy Frary.
The last legislature enacted a new
food law for the state which supplants
former laws on this subject and under
which much better work in controll-
ing the manufacture and sale OF adul-
terated food can be done. The new
law, which will be effective July /. fol.
lows in general form the national food
and drugs act Of June so. 1906, but 1t
contains some specific prohibitions
which are not to be found in the feder-
a lact. Among these are the follow
ing:
The sale Of meat from hogs fed on
uncooked slaughter house offal or 9TH
err substance unfit for animal food Is
prohibited.
Food is declared 10 be a~dulterated
II it is not all times protected from
contamination by dust, flies or filth.
Canned fruits or vegetables made
from bleached or dried products must
be conspicuously labeled to show this
fact.
Bleached -four must be SO labeled.
Personalities and harmful sub
stances such as borax, formaldehyde.
salicylic acid, saccharine, fiourine
compounds, and in meats, ~sulphurous
acid are prohibited.
No more than 2 per cent of starch
may be used in sausage and dealers
selling sausage containing any starch
must display a conspicuous sign tell
ing their customers that they use
starch or cereal.
The new law gives the commissions
er and inspectors more authority In
obtaining information and samples. 1t
makes the taking of orders for future
delivery a sale within the meaning
Of the law, and provides suitable PEN
alties for violations. All the old laws
are specifically repealed.

The 1. W. WI Indictments

THE wholesale indictment by a Federal
L grand jury and arrest Of leaders OF tho
Industrial Workers of tho World for one
thing, serves to emphasize the false security
the American people have INDUCED for years
While this dangerous organization has been
carrying on its criminal and seditious activi-
ties to paralyze the Industrial life of the
country. Time and again they have been
forewarned OF the menace, but not until
since we entered the war with Germany has
public sentiment overcome its tolerant atti-
tude and become sufficiently aroused to de-
mand drastic action by tho authorities to
call 1t to proper accounting for its defiance
of law.
The Investigations which finally have cul-
minated In tho arrests have resulted in dis
closing far-reaching propaganda to cause anti
draft demonstrations. burning of wheat fields,
Gripping Of war industries by so-called
strikes. burning Of timber which. the govern
ment was planning to use for airplane con-
struction and a continuous antiwar and anti
ally agitation In numerous instances the
destruction OF property and the precipitation
of strikes Is directly traceabIe to tho teach
ings and activities Of the organization, and
these charges 1t Is stated, the authorities
are fully prepared to prove when the indicted
parties arc placed ON trial, an enormous
volume OF evidence having been laid before
the grand jury which returned tho indict-
ments.
A significant feature sharply brought out
by the investigation is the large membership
In the organization OF the various races which
comprise Austria-iungary, such membership
being almost predominating factor In the
locals. Yet Austria-Hungary is an ally of
Germany, with whom we arc at war, and, as
such. her citizens in America arc no more
entitled to immunity from suspicion and re-
straint than Germans themselves This dis
closure. with other evidences Of plotting by
alien Austrians, suggests that the government
mas probably been pursuing q mistaken
policy in not declaring war outright against
Austria and thus placing Itself in position
TO deal with Its nationals exactly OIL the same
piano ms with alien Germans. In tho light
OF their activities, the one nationality ap-
pears to be no more entitled to consideration
than tho other Tho wise thing TO do is to
put both where they will be beyond the
power of harming tho country. AS for the
Industrial Workers of the World. the or
gantzation should be suppressed completely,
and II future meetings be attempted, those
attending should be arrested and put to work
during the period Of the war
