|n,tbe,preceuing article on grain in­

spection, it was pointed out that Koine

states ha,ve adopted state inspection

ana grading ot' grain, whereas in oth­

ers this service is still performed by

private, exchanges. Although Minne­

sota Has probably developed stale in­

spection «ls well as any state, figures

taken from the reports of the Chief

Inspector.of Grain.of Minnesota indi­

cate froin the number of reinspec

lions: and appeals that the highest

possible efficiency has not been reach­

ed. Dissatisfaction with the present

system, or mixture of different sys­

tems in different spates, has led to an

agitation for action by the federal

government.

Why Federal Inspection Is Wanted.

The principal conditions which

have given rise to this demand for

federal inspection or supervision are

as follows:

There is a feeling that state in­

spection does not yield efficient and

impartial results. The figures on re

inspections and appeals in iMinnesota

apparently bear this out.

2. There is suspicion eta the part

of shippers in important grain states

that have no primary markets and

who have to rely on the inspection

departments of other states. For ex­

ample, the shippers in North Dakota

have long chafed under the fact that

their grain is subject to Minnesota

inspection. Even if unjustified, the

very fwt that there is suspicion and

dissatisfaction is a strong argument

for federal control.

3. There is serious conflict of jur­

isdiction between the several states.

For example, the shippers of Kansas

market their grain largely through

the great primary market at Kansas

City, which is in Missouri, where Mis­

souri state inspection applies. Kan­

sas has its own inspection depart­

ment, which has attempted to grade

all grain arriving in the yards at Kan­

sas City, Kansas,, which is across the

river from Kansas City. Missouri.

Dealers and shippers objected to this

practice, and stopped using Kansas

inspections. The Kansas City (Mo.)

Board of Trade established an inspec­

tion department of its own to procure

samples, from cars on the Kansas

side, atid grade them on the Missouri

side. If such grain is transferred to

People frequently attrlbiifo to fail­

ure of the digestive organs condi­

tions that are primarily due to inac­

tive 'bowels, and apply r^n.caies that

froin their very nature are more apt

to aggravate than to relieve the dis­

order.

When the bowels act egularly the

stomach'is in better shape to perform

its alloted tasks and can usually be

depended upon. To keep the hovels

in condition there is no more effect­

ive remedy than the combination of

simple laxative herbs known as Dr.

Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which is sold

in di'ufe stores for fifty cents a bottle

Dr. Caldwell has prescribed tills

remedy in his practice! for over a

qu4rt,er of a century and it is today

the standard household remedy in

thousands of homes. Mr. Thos. De

Loach, wit'.i the Department of thp

Interior, Office of Indian Affairs, a'

cently that "0r. Caldwell's Synip

inspection. In other words, there iB

double inspection on such cars, with

to shippers both by the Kansas City

Board of Trade and by the Missouri

inspection department, while the third

Inspection department, that of the

State of Kansas, is also seeking jur­

isdiction over such grain. A some­

what similar condition exists in Du

luth and Superior where the Minne­

sota and Wisconsin. Inspection, de­

partments clash.

4. There is. a lack of uniformity of

grades in different markets. For ex­

ample, a certain gradft pf corn may

not mean exactly the same in Minne­

apolis, Cincinnati and Baltimore.

First Steps Toward Federal Inspection

This last difficulty, the fact that

grades are not uniform in different

states, has already led to government

action to secure standardization

grades. After several years of inves­

tigation, the federal government es­

tablished federal corn grades in Jan­

uary, 1914. These are not compul­

sory, but within a few months they

had been adopted by several state in­

spection departments and by many

grain exchanges, especially in the

Middle West. The Eastern markets

have not shown a disposition to use

federal standards. Federal standard­

ization is highly desirable, and should

undoubtedly be made compulsory.

Arguments Pro and Con.

The demand for federal control has

taken the form of a demand for ac­

tual federal inspection. Senator Mc

Cuniber of Xorth Dakota introduced

a bill providing for federal inspection

of grain carried in interstate com­

merce in I90:j. At first it attracted

bm little attention, but he reintro­

duced the bill each succeeding year

until 1914-15, when it came to a vote

in the senate and was defeated.

The feeling has developed that in­

spection by federal inspectors is too

radical a step. The federal govern

quently there would probably be dual

ment has 110 jurisdiction over ship­

ments within the state, and f-on.se

inspection service with conflicts of

jurisdiction between federal and state

inspection departments. Such a sys­

tem would largely increase the num­

ber of federal employes, a condition

which finds disfavor among many

people. But most important, it ap­

pears that the favorable results that

might be accomplished by federal in­

spection can be achieved by less rad­

ical means.

The Proposed Supervision Plan.

This feeling has led to the intro­

duction of a compromise bill in con­

gress known as the Moss Bill, which

calls for federal standardization of

grades and federal supervision of in­

spection. It provides that grain in­

spectors be licensed by the secretary

of agriculture, and that in case of dis­

pute over grades, appeal may be made

to the secretary of agriculture. This

obviates the necessity of a federal

inspection department, because under

it state and private exchange-inspec­

grades.. Although, it is a. compromise

measure, utilizing the present inspec

tion departments, instead of creating

a new one, it appears that it might 1

yield all th§ benefits thatjcoul$-be, ex­

pected from actual federal inspection.

This is the way the matter stands

doubtedly come up for serious con­

sideration in the, near future. The

All Will Not Be Froth at To*

night's Meeting of

Retailers.

A sober discussion of community

problems, as they affect both the re­

tailer and the consumer, and a ser­

ious consideration of plans for the

improvement of conditions in whicn

all are concerned ig the primary pur­

pose of tonight's big meeting of Bis­

marck retailers, which will be held at

the Commercial club rooms- begin,

ning at 8 o'clock.

Believing that sometimes business­

men's meetings incline to too much

seriousness, and th^t a little -leaven

is often a good, tlung, the committee

in charge has accepted the kind offer

1 of William L. Miller, advertising, man­

ager of The Bismarck Tribune, to

supply the froth, and those familiar

with Mr. Miller's plans announce that

he and bis assistants have something

really extraordinary to offer.

The amusement program will not

consume an hour at the outside. If

everyone assembles promptly at 8,

the .solid business of the evening can

be taken up at 9 and disposed of in

an hour or two. The average busi­

ness man realizes that in this twen­

tieth century hurly burly life co-oper­

ation is a prime requisite. Tonight

Bismarck retailers will be given an

opportunity to co-operate in the ex­

change of ideas: in the combining of

forces for the general good, and the

committee in charge trusts that every

man who is in business and who has

the community's welfare at heart will

attend, bringing with him members

of, his force and his associates.

Bismarck Pharmicists Told to Be

on Lookout for Peddlers Who

Handle Fake Goods.

"Beware of the grip drug sales­

man" is the warning that came the

past week to pharmacists and drug­

gists of Bismarck and vicinity. It is

said that a number of salesmen who

sell directly to the pharmacists from

"sample" stocks carried in grips have

been operating in .the northwestern

and central states of late. They have

offered certain drugs, it is said, at as­

tonishingly low prices, considering

the fact that the war has forced most

drugs away up, and sales have been

many and, in some cases, large.

It is claimed, however, that analy­

sis of some of the samples have

shown them to be fakes, pure and

simple, some of them containing up­

wards of 90 per cent sugar or white

sand or both. Arrests have been

made. in some places of the vendors

of the fake drugs.

The Oye Situation.

Bismarck Druggists state that there

has lately been a great demand, for

the cheap ten-cent per package dyes,

especially in the colors red, gr^en and

purple. Wholesalers, it is said, have

had agents about the country thuxin&

up these package dyes, especially in

these colors, because .the dyes of

these, colors are very scarce and are

going up rapidly, in price.

It is stated, furthermore, that un­

less manufacturers in this country

commence making these colors soon

they will be unobtainable before the

end of the year. Many flriug have

been experimenting in the manufac­

ture of these colors, .but it is claia}«d

that success has not attended their

efforts.

Inks of these colors are also be­

coming very scarce and high priccd

and the copper country is feeling the

effect of the scarcity ot coloring mat­

ter for ilifts as well as is the rest of
