FOOD AND DRUG
REPORT ISSUED
STATE X»IMI8SIONEH GUY
jPllARY, OK VERMILLION,
Since July 1, 1913, but five pros
ecutions have been instituted in
South Dakota for violation of the
pure food law. This is reported in the
latest bulletin of Guy G. Frary, state
food and drug commissioner, which
was made public today.
Pour of the five prosecutions were
for keeping unsanitary slaughter
houses and the other one was for sell
ing decayed eggs. The five defendants
were in Miller, DeSmet, Ortley and
Castlewood and all pleaded guilty
mid paid fines ranging from $5 to
$10 each.
Since the last bulletin was issued,
the commissioner and his corps of six
inspectors have examined 70 miscel
'laneotib food samples, sold in stores
in all parts of the state, and found
that 26 were nbt up to the standard.
The list covers flavoring extracts,
food coloring, canned goods, syrups,
drinks, flours and catsup. The chief
defects were the use of coal tar color
ing and defective weights. It is of in-
to druggists to dispose of their stock
of old stock food and condition pow
ders and not sell it to stock raisers.
One of the announcements of im
portance in the bulletin is that here
after the inspection of slaughter
houses wii: be left to the state board
of health. All complaints in the mat
ter should be sent to Dr. Park B.
Jenkins, superintendent of the state
board of health, Waubay, S. D.

HURON HIGH WINS
BY 18 TO 0 SCORE
MITCIIKM, I:I,I:VK\ DKKKATKD
YKSTKIIMAY IN KOIOII (JAM10
OX OPPONENTS' KIKliD.
In the hardest struggle of the pres
ent season, Mitchell high went down
to defeat yesterday afternoon at
Huron by the score of 18 to o. No
excuses are offered, but the members
ot the team, on their return from
Huron this forenoon, declared they
were anxious to meet the same team
again on a neutral field and with
other officials.
The feature of the struggle was
perhaps the number of times that
the members of the Mitchell team
were lorced to take out. time for in
juries. Five times in the first quarter
they were forced to stop and were
penalized by Referee Claude Smith,
a former Wesleyan player, when they
had taken out time on more than
three occasions.
Huron won the toss on the outset
of the game and Mitchell kicked off,
in ihe teeth of a strong wind. By a
series of line plunges through the
right side of the line, Huron carried
the ball steadily down the field and
scored in the first quarter. In the
second period, the ball was in play
in the center of the lield for most of
the time.
Mitchell held the advantage well
at the start of the third quarter.
With line plunges by Captain Nord
bye and lteierson and end runs by
Vermillion, the spheroid was carried
down the field and over the line. The
ball went over on the fourth down,
but refusing to explain his ruling the
referee curried the ball back' to
Huron's two-vard line and announced
that Mitchell had lost it ou downs.
Huron immediately punted out from
danger, but Mitchell worked the ball
back to the ten-yard line. Here a
forward pass was intercepted, Brock
running almost the entire length of
the field. In the most spectacular
play of the game, he was caught and
tackled by Vermilyea on Mitchell's
one-yard line. Huron then carried the
ball over for a touchdown.
In the final period, Huron scored
again. Mitchell managed to work the
ball to Huron's four-yard line, where
Huron recovered a fumble and Brock
sprinted through a clear field for the
third and last touchdown. None of
Huron's attempts to kick goal was
successful. Score, 18 to 0.

decided at the present term of cir
cuit court for Union countv, in favor
of the railroad.
In 1909, while Fred Edwards of
Jefferson, S. D., was hauling hay,
and had three teams in line, one on
the scales at Jefferson and the other
two in the rear, he stepped inside
of a lumber yard office to weigh the
load. Just then a Milwaukee train
came along and the horses became
frightened and ran away. The first
team got over the railroad tracks
close by, but the second team was
struck by the engine. Mr. Edwards
chased the team, and when the en
gine struck the rig a flying piece of
wood struck him in the ribs, break
ing three of them. Edwards brought
suit for $3,000 damages for injuries
to his team and himself. The plain
tiff claimed negligence on the part of
the railroad, charging the engine did
not whistle nor was the bell rung as
a warning. The defendant railroad
claimed the negligence was on the
part of the plaintiff, inasmuch as he
left his team unguarded and un
hitched. The court upheld the con
tention of the road, and the jury re
turned a verdict for the Milwaukee.

Iroquois, S. D.—A bunch of young
men from Huron invaded Iroquois
one night this week and while under
the influence of intoxicants proceeded
to "act up." They returned on Sun
day, entered the school house and

the Iroquois to the fact that some
body that was somebody had come to
town. The boys were taken before a
justice of the peace and fined, and
were released upon their promise to
mail the fines to the justice. Now an

Aberdeen, S. D.--Tho Aberdeen
Clearing House association, working
in cellaberation with the South Da
kota Better Farming association
took a long step lorward in the work
of encouraging diversified farming in
South Dakota, when it. adopted plans
to lend $7,000 to the Better Fanning
association for the purchase ol" iwo
carloads of alfalfa seed to be dis
tributed among the farmers in
South Dakota. Concerning tile ac
tion of the Celaring House associa
tion, Superintendent H. P. Patterson
of the Better Farming association,
said: "The Better Farming associa
tion does not have funds nor is it
the object of the assocciation to con
duct a seed business, but it is deep
ly interested in the permanent pro
ductivity of farm lands and realizes
that, hardy alfalfa is a prequisile
The amount, of seed that, the bank
ers have made possible for us to pur
chase will sow about 7,000 acres. It
is hard to estimate what, the direct
results of this venture will be. The
Wenz brothers, near Bath, in three
years sold $1,482.45 worth of pork
from nine and five-eighths acres of
alfalfa. That alfalfa has proven a
success in Brown county is shown
by the wonderful increase in the
acreage during the past tlirpe vears.
Government statistics show there
were 250 acres in the county in 10 1
This acreage was increased in (l
to :!,7r)0, as reported to the associa
tion.
Superintendent Patterson stronglv
advises against buying alfalfa seed
from Kansas or other southern
points, contending that only north
ern-grown seed should be sown. The
loan of the Aberleen bankers to the
association will enable farmers of
northern South Dakota to sow 7,non
acres of ground to this guaranteed
northern grown seed, which will en
able them 10 get a start in alfalfa
under the most favorable auspices.

ARE YOU RUN DOWN?
AWAKEN TO THE DANGER AND
AID THE WEAKENED
KIDNEYS.
Kidney sickness often runs you
down to the verge of collapse before
you know the cause. When you seem
unable to pin your mind to any task,
your back acheB and you cannot do
an ordinary day's work, it is time to
ask yourself this question: "Are my
kidneys working right?" The answer
may be easily found.
Weak kidneys slacken their filter
ing work and the uric acid circulates
with the blood, in many cases, at
tacking brain, nerves, muscles and
vital organs. Don't wait for the ser
ious trouble—begin using Doan's
Kidney Pills when you feel the first
backache or first notice urinary dis
orders. This remedy has given new
life and strength to thousands.
Proof of merit in a Mitchell citi
zen's statement.
