(Special Correspondent.)

Indianapolis, May 20. Grocers,

bakers, butchers and other manufac

turers and dealers in food stuffs have got to play ball from new on or be ar

rested. The State Board of Health

says so.

The board has given out the infor

mation that they will not be notified

again that they must obey the pure

food law, but arrests will be made without any warning. The board is

in dead earnest about this. It says ft has fooled with the lawbreakers

long enough. The pure food law has

been on- the statute hooks of the state

for nearly two years and a halC and the board believes this is a sufficient

ly long time for every dealer in the

state to become acquainted with its

provisions and to learn how to obey

them. Has a Good Law.

Indiana has one of the best pure food laws of any state in the union. It is pointed to with pride by the health authorities of the state and many of the other states have copied their pure food laws after that of Indiana. But when the law was passed the State Board of Health was not given the authority it needed to enforce it. It was for a time almost a dead letter, but the last legislature took up the matter where the other one left off and . passed a law that gave the State Board of Health all the power it asked for. Now the board is in shape to go after the violators, and this is what it proposes to do. Up to this time it has been the custom of the board to notify violators and give them an opportunity to clean up and follow the law without being arrested. But this plan has not worked well. Many unscrupulous dealers have taken advantage of the leniency shown them by the health authorities and have gone right on violating the law. The board has at last got tired of this condition and from now on no warnings will be given to any one. The lawless ones will be arrested on the spot whenever they are discovered."-'" '

Must be Sanitary. The pure food law requires sanitary

conditions in all places where food

stuffs are manufactured or sold. The buildings and rooms must be kept clean; no diseased person is allowed to be employed in or about such places; all fruits and other exposed

food stuffs must be covered or screen

ed so flies cannot get at them; there are many other provisions in the law

that are intended to protect the health of the people who buy the goods, and if the law is obeyed it will produce

good results.

The State Board of Health has sent

out a number of inspectors into various parts of the state, all of the work being under the direction of H. E.

Barnard, state food and drug commissioner, and they have found frightful conditions in many places. In four towns in southern Indiana, for instance, they v found restaurants in which there was a soda fountain and a barber shop. Think of it a barber shop and a restaurant in the same room. These places were closed with a bang. First Arrest Made. The first arrest under the new order of things was that of Max Baskino. at South Bend, who was arrested on a charge of conducting an unsanitary grocery. Since then other arrests have been made, and Mr. Barnard says more are to follow as rapidly as the inspectors can find the law violators. . "It is easy enough for a baker, a butcher, a grocer or anyone else to maintain a sanitary place if he wants to." said Mr. Barnard. "It seems strange that men will run the kind of places we find in seme of the towns

SECURE ACCOMMODATIONS

IT IS EXPECTED THAT THE COST

FOR ENTERTAINING THE MEMBERS OF THE SYNOD WILL EX

CEED $1,000.

The Lutherans are all astir over the

approaching convention of the General

Synod, to be held here. The committees are working day and night to get

every thing in readiness for the event.

It is quite a big undertaking for one denomination to provide for the entertainment of so large a body for a period of ten days. Thus far everything has been done without asking aid outside of their own denomination. Places Are 8ecured. A few persons have kindly volunteered assistance, which was gratefully received, but none has been solicited. In the final "round up" last night by the entertainment committee, it was announced places of entertainment had been secured for practically all the delegates in Lutheran families. A few have signified their intention of stopping at the hotel at their own expense. The success of this committee speaks well for the generosity and hospitality of the Lutheran people of Richmond. Between three and four hundred visitors will have to be fed every day, and the ladies of the churches have prepared to do this. The expense of this for ten days is no inconsider

able sum. This, together with all the

printing bills, postage, rental of Coliseum and hundreds of incidentals, requires a fund of over a thousand dol

lars, besides the large contributions of

food. All this haS been provided by

the church members.

This convention will afford a splen

did opportunity to advertise the city.

Half of the delegates are clerical and half lay. The lay delegates are generally practical business men, and as

they come from many states local cit

izens will see to it that they will get

such attention as to evidence of Richmond hospitality and commercial enterprise.

Just how worthless is , the set of

questions required by all applicants for marriage in Indiana to answer

was never moire thoroughly demon

strated than in a case this week. A

woman, who on the witness stand iu her own behalf a week before, testified

as to her physical unfitness for mar

riage, on her application-blank denied

the same. The truth of ' the statements on her application were sworn

to by a friend of the contracting par

ties.

One of the questions asked on the

application blanks is: "Is the contract

ing party afflicted with epilepsy, tuber

culosis, venereal or any other contag

ious or transmissible disease?" Not once, since the laws of 1907 became ef; feetlve, has this question been answered in the affirmative. If it were the clerk would be required to withhold the license under the statutes. Court Was Disgusted. It was only a week ago Saturday that a certain woman, in testifying in her own behalf for-a divorce, stated she was afflicted with a transmissible disease, a venereal disorder. The testimony became so revolting that Judge Fox stopped it, and gave his decree. Since receiving her divorce, the woman has re-appeared at the clerk's office and, after denying the question quoted, was granted a license and- now is mar

ried. The prosecutor's attention was

called to the state of affairs. He remembered the woman's testimony, but said if she denied it and her answer was certified to, there was nothing for him to do. He did not consider the possible perjury of the man who made the affidavit.

The matter of the affidavits attach

ed to the application blanks is an ab

solute frost The applicants are required to answer such far removed

questions that the correct answer often is unknown and one is inserted. The affiant under oath states he knows all the facts set forth to be the truth.

Some of the questions .are so absurd

that it is unreasonable to presume the

affiant knows the correctness of the

answers. . The entire affair Is worth

less except as a matter of record.

LABRADOR MOSQUITOES.

Tsrrible Pest to Travelers and Natives

In the Northland.

No account of travel in Labrador can

be complete without some mention of the terrible pest of mosquitoes. These

were always present in Immense swarms from the beginning of our trip to the end. and sometimes they made

life almost unbearable.

Nothing ceuld be heard but their bussing. Whenever we attempted to eat they were down our throats and

In our eyes asd faces, and in spite of our head nets and fly dope we were always badly bitten. The natives seemed to mind them almost as much as we did, their remedy being rancid

seal oil. I am satisfied that were one so unfortunate as to be caught out at

night without protection be would be

either crasy or dead by morning.

Our tents were provided with a fine mesh bobbinet inner tent, but some

would always find their way inside or

come up from the ground. At times our light so attracted them we went

outside to see if it were not raining, for the constant tapping ef the mosquitoes against the canvas sounded so exactly like rain that It was Impossible

to tell the difference.

On many nights I had to give up the observation of stars for latitude and

longitude because a candle ceuld not be kept lit long enough to adjust the artificial nontaoa. vTe unfortunately

had no chimney, and the mooquttoes swarmed so thickly that without this

protection the flame was quickly

smothered. There were but few nights

cool enough te afford us any relief.

freezing to subdue them. Forest and

MR. STUDY CHARGES THAT IT IS

OFTEN THE CASE THE METER

RENT EXCEEDS THE AMOUNT

OF WATER USED. .

Steps will ' soon be taken by the city against the Richmond City Water

Works company, relative to the rent

charged for the use of meters, according to a statement made yesterday by T. J. Study at the conference of the

board of works, the franchise committee of the city council and a representative of the W. A. Shott 'Engineering company of Chicago. Mr. Study declared that the city council, "some fine evening," would have an opportunity to look into the

question as to the right of the water

works company to charge meter rent.

Mr. Study said it was an outrage perpetrated on the city. Looks to Protection. He spoke of this in referring to possible contingencies arising after a contract had ..been let by the city for a central hating system plant. There are innunierable conditions which may arise betifeen the heating company and the consumer, and Mr.' Study said, he wanted ' to ( see that the consumer was protected,'. That the meter rent charged by the

water Works company often exceeds the value of the water used, was a point made by Mr. Study. After finishing the discussion on this point, he maintained silence and did not say what kind of action might be brought against the Water Works company.
