U COUNTRY BUTTER STATE BOARD OF HEALTH TO STOP SALE IN THE INDIANA MARKETS. WILL ASK AID OF GROCERYMEN Barnard, Food and Drug Commissioner, and His Deputies Are Making Quiet Investigations of the . Situation. Indianapolis. That a movement will be instituted by officials of the state board of health to stop the sale of "bad" country butter In Indiana markets became known. H. E. Barnard, food and drug commissioner, has had his deputies making quiot Investigations 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 grocerymeu will co-operate with the deputies of Mr. Baruard and tell in each instance by whom the butter was sold which is found to be "bad." It will be comparatively easy for the food and drug commissioner to clear the markets of the state of that kind of butter. Several deputies of the commissioner, who have been investigating the egc 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 2U per cent, of all the Indiana hogs being slaughtered are suffering from tuberculosis. 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, .ifter an examination, was found to be reeking with tuberculosis germs. It was condemned and cremated. At another place a cow was found which had 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 slzo of a cow's liver. Tuberculosis infection was responsible. Elect Officers at Conference. The annual election of officers of the Indiana conference. Seventh Day Adventists, at the camp on the Winona Technical institute grounds resulted In a number of Indianapolis persons being choson. The result of the election follows: President Elder O. Montgomery of Indianapolis. Secretary-Treasurer A. N. Anderson of Indianapolis. Conference Committee Elders O. Montgomery, A. L. Miller, W. A. Young. T. A. Goodwin and A. N. Anderson, all of Indianapolls; N. H. Pool of Lafayette and W. P. Cunningham of Mlddletown. Religious Liberty Secretary Elder A. LMiller 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 hold 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. Aout $30. 000 has been raised In the last year for evangelical and missionary work. The change of the time of observing the Sabbath from tho 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 state mcnts of Elder O. Montgomery in a Hormon. His subject was "The Sab bath" .And he quoted Scripture to prove that the day of rest should be from sundown Friday evening until sundown Saturday evening as ob served by the Adventists. Ho said that originally the first day of the week, tho prosent Sunday, was a day of pleasure and worldltness and that was what caused It to be generally adopted by the people. Invite Taft to Evansvllle. The city of Evansvllle 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 Ilndlana. It is stated at the White House that It Is absolutely Impossible now to give an answer to this invitation.

PLANSWARON

Stato Fund Ha $100,000 Margin. Figures compiled by the state board

of tax commissioners from appraisements made by state, coanty and township taxing officials. Indlcato that, during the appropriation purl'l of two years, beginning Oet'Jber I of this year, tho general fund of the state treasury will have a marglu of approximately 1100.000 on which to run. This will be brought nbnu: without the transfer to thut fund of the state debt sinking fuud. which has btion necessary for several years. No taxes on the current year's nppralsoment will reach the state treasury until June. 1912. tionce about onefourth of tho appropriation porlod will bo conducted from taxes collected nccordlng to tho appralsemont in force for the current taxing year, which Is $151.147.799 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 tho corresponding valuation for the succeeding tax year, but the exact difference has not been determined. It Is estimated, however, that it will be considerably less than the Increase on real estate. Tho total not appraisement for taxing purposes of all the property In the state, made in the appralsemen senson Just closed, is $1.901.233.241. This is exclusive of mortgage exemptions, amounting to J5S.395.079. Tho total tax rate for all state purposes Is 31.S5 cents on every 5100 tnxables. divided as follows: State revenue (general fund). 9 cents; state school revenue. 13.6 cents; benevolent Institution fund. 5 cents; state debt sinking fund, 1.5 cents; education Institution fund. 2.75 cents. The annual receipts to the state treasury for the vnrlous funds on the appraisement Just completed will be as follows: General fund $1.711.100.92 State school revenue 2.SS5.G63.60 State debt fund 2S5.1S3.49 Benevolent institutions... 950.611.02 Educational institutions.. 522.536.39 Total J6.055.396.02 ! Child Labor Law Approved. John J. Walsh, head of the department of factories and workshops of the bureau of Inspection, said that the now 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 extont unlocked for by the advocates of tho measure, according to Mr. Walsh. There has been little difficulty reported In obtaining persons to fill thd places of children In factories and other establishments, where the law necessitated the release of the younger workers, according to the state's official. In the moving picture shows of the state and the vaudeville theaters the same has been true, Mr. Walsh said. The principal source of complaint In the workings of be 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 repri mands to employers and parents. Children twelve to fourteen years old may work In canning factories un der 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 tho 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 Conger, former state oil Inspector, has paid to the state board of accounts $1.05, 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 $5.000, which was held by the board to have been spent for clerk hire in violation of an act of the general assembly of 1S99, is not to be charged against the former official. Conger submitted affidavits from former members of the general assembly and from chairmen and mombers of senate finance committees and house ways and means committees, in which It was set out that they drafted the appropriation bills, with the knowledge that Conger was to pay clerk hire out of the office expense appropriations. In view of tha affidavits, and the fact that the stato had lost no money through the method of handling the appropriations, tho state board did not charge the amount to him, as it considered doing on a technicality, and which it had done when the report was first filed, 3ome time ago. Safeguard Clerks' Fees. If the county clorks of tho state follow carefully the new uniform blanks being sent out for records of receipts nnd disbursements In tho office there will be no more serious disputes about fees being wrongfully retained, according to W. A. Dehorlty, head of the state's uniform public accounting department. TeachersArrange Program. The eÄutlve committee of the Indiana Teachers association met at Indianapolis and arranged a tentative program for the meeting of the organization In Indianapolis next December. Most of tho meetings of the association will be held In Tomllnson hall. Among tho speakers who will be present are Dr. William B. Watt of Chlcngo. Dr. Woods Hutchinson of New York. Dr. Henry Suzzalo of Columbia university. Dr. E. B. Bryan, president of Colgate university.
