PLANS WAR ON

STATE BOARD OF HEALTH STOP SALE IN THE INDIANA MARKETS. TO WILL ASK AID OF GROCERYMEN Barnard, Fcod and Drug Commissioner, and His Deputies Are Making Quiet Investigations of the Situation. Indianapolis. That a movement will be instituted by oöiclals of the state board of health, to stop the sale of "bad" country butter In Indiana mar kets became known. H. E. Barnard. i food and drug commissioner, has had his deputies making quiot investiga tlons of the butter situation in the state for the last few weeks, and a campaign against the "rank" article will be launched within the next two weeks, according to Mr. Barnard. Much'will depend upon the grocerymen In the battle to be fought for the housewives of the state, the commissioner says. If the grocerymen will co-operate with the deputies of Mr. Barnard and tell In each instance by , whom the butter was sold which la ' found to be "bad." It will be comparalively easy for the food and drug comj missioner to clear the markets of the state of that kind of butter. Several deputies of the commissioner, who have been Investigating the egg situation In various Indiana markets, returned and reported to Mr. Barnard that the egg merchants of the state are highly pleased with the results of the rigid Inspection being kept up by the pure food department. Merchants have made statements that where several dozen eggs In each case bought formerly were "bad" It is not uncommon now to find cases In which but two or three eggs are decayed. An investigation of the various meat packing houses of the state has disclosed that approximately 2 per cent, of all the Indiana hogs being slaughtered are suffering from tuber culosis. Practically all of these are condemned by government experts before they reach the state's markets. In a new slaughter house, recently opened at Lafayette, where government experts had not taken charge, a deputy of Mr. Barnard's office found 11 hogs killed. One of these, after an examination, was found to be reeking with tuberculosis germs. It was condemned and cremated. At another place a cow was found which iad been In sound health apparently when killed. An autopsy showed that the animal's lungs weighed more than 100 pounds and its liver was five times the normal sire of a cow's liver. Tuberculosis Infection was responsible. Elect Officers at Conference. The annual election of officers of the Indiana conference. Sevson of Indianapolis. Conference Committee Elders O. Montgomery, A. L. Miller, W. A. Young, T. A. Goodwin and A. N. Anderson, all of Indianapolis; N. H. Pool ifjfette and w- P' Cunningham ui .Miuujeiuwn. Religious Liberty Secretary Elder A. L.Miller of Indianapolis. Educational Secretary Mrs. R. W. McMahan of Anderson. Missionary Secretary R. C. Spohr of Indianapolis. Field Missionary Agent N. L. Taylor of Indianapolis. The next annual conference will be held In August, 1912, but the place will not be chosen until the next "workers' meeting" In the spring of next year. - th The conference voted to raise 517,000 additional to the regular sums now being raised each year for foreign mission work. The money will be raised by an assessment of 15 cents each week for every member of the Indiana conference. About $30.000 has been raised In the last year for evangelical and missionary work. The change of the time of observing the Sabbath from the seventh to the first day of the week Is the result of long continued "back sliding" on the part of Christians, and is contrary to the orders of God, according to statements of Elder O. Montgomery In a sermon. His subject was "The Sabbath" and he quoted Scripture to prove that the day of rest should be from sundown Friday evening until sundown Saturday evening as observed by the Adventlsts. He said that originally tho first day of the week, tho present Sunday, was a day of pleasure and worldllness and that was what caused It to be generally adopted by the people. Invite Taft to Evansville. The city of Evansville wants President Taft to be Its guest in September, when the Indiana Federation of Labor will hold Its state convention there. The White House Is being bombarded with telegrams, and every member of the Indiana delegation is Receiving messages. Thousands will .be there from Kentucky, Illinois and 'Jndlana. It Is stated nt the White House that It is absolutely impossible now to give an answer to this Invitation.

State Fund Hat $100,000 Margin. Figures compiled by the state hoard of tax commissioners from appraisements made by state, county and i township taxing officials, fndlcato that, during the appropriation prPd of two years, beginning October I of !

this year, the general fund of the , state treasury will have a margin of approximately $100.000 on which to 1 run. This will be brought nbnu. without the transfor to that fund of the state debt sinking fund, which has been necessary for several rars. No taxes on the current year's appraisement will reach the state treasury until June. 1912. hence about onefourth or the appropriation period will be conducted from taxes collected according to the appraisement In force for the current taxing year, which is J151.147.7D9 lower on real estate and Improvements than the next taxing year. The personal property valuation on which taxes are being paid this year Is also lower than the corresponding valuation for the succeeding tax year, but the exact difference has not been deternm It Is estimated, however, that It v. J be considerably less than the Increase on real estate. The total net appraisement for tax ing purposes of all the property In the state, made In the appraisement season Just closed. Is $1.901.233.241. This is exclusive of mortgage exemptions, amounting to J5S.395.079. The total tax rate for all state purposes Is 31.S5 cents on every $100 taxables. divided as follows: State rpvpntLA (general fund). 9 cents; state school revenue. 13.6 cents; benevolent Insti tution fund. 5 cents; state debt sink- i Ing fund, 1.5 cents; education institution fund. 2.75 cents. The annual re ceipts to the state treasurv for the various funds on the annralsement Just completed will be as follows: General fund $1.711.100 92 State school revenue 2.5S5.663.60 State debt fund 2S5.1S3.49 Benevolent Institutions... 950.611.62 Educational institutions.. 522.S36.39 Total .$6.055.396.02 Child Labor Law Approved. John J. Walsh, head of the department of factories and workshops of the bureau of Inspection, said that the new child labor law In this state is meeting with the approval of employers wherever his deputies come in contact with them. Co-operation on the part of employers throughout the state in the enforcement of the lawhas been noticeable to an extent unlooked for by the advocates of the measure, according to Mr. Walsh. T-U 1 1 ..... mcie uns oeen uuie aiuicuity reported in obtaining persons to fill the i Places or children In factories and ! other establishments, where the law j necessitated the release of the young- j er workers, according to the state's ) official. In the moving picture shows ' of the state and the vaudeville thea-1 ters the same has been true. Mr. Walsh said. The principal source of complaint ' In the workings of he new statute , has been due to the fact that some ! parents have sworn falsely to affidavits concerning the ages of those who sought employment In several cases that has led to necessity for reprimands to employers and parents. Children twelve to fourteen years old may work In canning factories under the provisions of the law, and Mr. Walsh said that clause In the statute was being taken advantage of In many parts of the state. The fact that the majority of the employers of the state do not wish In their factories children less than sixteen years old has aided the officials materially in enforcing the law. Conger Settles for $1.05. Sid Coiieer. former tut nil In spector, has paid to the state board of accounts J1.05, which he says is payment in full of all claims against him as a result of an examination Into the affairs of his office by examiners In the employ of the board. The item of 55.000. which was held by the board to have been spent for clerk hire In violation of an act of the general assembly of 1899. Is not to be charged against the former official. Conger submitted affidavits from former members of the general "assembly and from chairmen and members of senate finance committees nnd house ways nnd means committees, in which it was set out that they drafted the appropriation bills, with the knowledge that Conger wan to pay clerk hire out of the office expense appropriations. In view of the affidavits, and the fact that the state had lost no money through the method of handling the appropriations, tho state board did not charge the amount to him, ns It considered doing on a technicality, and which It had done when tho report was first filed, some time ago. Safeguard Clerks' Fees. If tne c unty clerks of the state follow crt.efully the cow uniform blanks being sent out for records of receipts and disbursements In the office there will be no more rcrlous disputes nbout fees bolng wrongfully retained, according to W. A. Dohorlty, head of the statc'B uniform public accounting department Teachers Arrange Program. The executive committee of the Indiana Teachers association met nt Indianapolis and arranged a tentative program for the meeting of the organization in Indianapolis next December. Most of the meetings of the association will be held In Tomllnson hall. Among the speakers who will be present are Dr. William K. Watt of Chicago. Dr. Woods Hutchinson of New York. Dr. Henry Suzzalo of Columbia university, Dr. E. II. Tlryan, president of Colgate university.
