HHHRIM1N RESTS
ON MOUNTAIN TOP
But Chafes at Rest Doctor Im
poses and Wants to Be
"On the Job." ,
ONLY LOVETT ADMITTED
Keeps Him Posted on Market Condi
tlons Harrlman Eats and Sleeps
Well and Attends to His
Building Work.
ARDfiX, N. T., , Aug. 26. Whatever
the actual progress of Mr. Harrlman a
recovery. It Is twident Jhat his family
has determined that he shall make no
further sacrifices of vitality in the ef
fort to reassure the public and buoy
up the stock market. His Isolation in
his mountain-top home is absolute. Ex
cept the selected few of his own lmmed
iate entourage, nobody sees him and
no word from the outer world reaches
his chambered solitude. It Is impossi
ble to reach Mr. Harrlman, either di
rectly or Indirectly, unless by his own
wish or that of his family.
Needs Kest, Wants to Work.
Dr. Lj-le, the family physician, today
gave a brief account of his patient 3
progress. Mr. Harrlman, he said, had
been confined to the house for the day
by recommendation, but his inquisitive
mind had been busy with the construc
tion still In progress on his new home.
"If a certain physician would permit,"
he said. "Mr. Harrlman would be out
on the Job' today, bossing the finishing
touches on the Inclined railway , him
self. "Mr. Harrlman passed a good night
and ate a hearty breakfast at 10 this
morning. Ills appetite Is better and he
relishes good food and plenty of it. His
present condition Is due to a general
nervous breakdown and there Is noth
ing he needs more than absolute rest."
Keeps in Touch With Market.
Judge Kohert S. Lovett, who has been
mentioned as Mr. Harrlman's possible
successor, came to Arden this afternoon
for another conference. Judge Lovett
absolutely refused to discuss the pur
pose of his frequent visits. It is
thought, however, that, with his first
lieutenant so often at his side, Mr. Har
rlman eajinot be wholly out of touch
with the market or completely free
from business cares.
An apparently demented man. who
Mid he was John Deyo, of 245 Wabash
avenue. Chicago, was taken into cus
tody at Arden today because of his
persistent efforts to reach Mr. Harrl-
' man's house. The man said he wanted
to collect from Mr. Harrlman several
million dollars of back Interest on rail
road stock.
SPECIALIST SEES HARRIMAN'
Dr. . Dlttman. Expert on Kidneys,
Called to Arden.
NEW TORK. Aug. 26. Much signifi
cance Is attached to the visit of Dr. Nor
man K. Ulttman, an eminent specialist
in diseases of the kidneys, to E. H. Har
rlman. at Arden, N. Y. Dr. Lyle. Mr.
Harrlman's personal physician, and mem
bers of the family have persistently re
fused to make an authoritative announce
ment of Mr. Harrlman's malady.
Dr. Dlttman, after a long Interview with
Mr. Harrlman. referred questioners to
Judge Robert S. Lovett. vice-president
and freneral counsel of the Union Pacific
Judge Lovett, who manifested a disin
clination to discuss Mr. Harrlman's com
plaint or his condition, would say noth
ing more than that Mr, Harrlman was no
better and no worse.
Harrlman,- is on his way to New York.
Mr. Harrlman said he would continue
his railroad education this Winter, but
not wlthTa chain gang. ...
"I've got to 'wise up' on all branches
of the business," he said. "After a
visit home and a short vacation, I ex
pect to start in at the business again.
I am planning to spend much of my
time in the operating department. I'll
probably take a job as a fireman or
brakeman."

MANGLED BODIES FOUND
Two Mexican Miners Save Lives in
Fall Down Shaft.
MEXICO CITT, Aug. 26. Twelve bodies
were recovered from the La Plax mine at
Matapuela today. The men dropped down
the 6haft to the 1500-foot level when the

Of the 14 occupants of the cage, two
saved their lives by grasping the timbers
and hanging to the edge of the shaft
until rescued.
Indorsed by the convention of the Asso
elation of State and National Food and.
Dairy Departments today. After a fight
in which the term "medicated, garbage"
was used, the association approved of
the use of benzoate of soda as a food
preservative. The resolution of approval
was adopted- by a vote of 57 to 42. Sec
retary Wilson was an attentive specta
tor, but was not a delegate. -
Voicing the sentiment of other oppos
ing states, Dr. J. S. Crumbiae of Kan
sas said the time had not come when
the " people should accept as final the
statement that benzoate of soda is a
harmless preservative. He believed the
subject should be investigated further.
A . committee that had been appointed
to "Investigate" the Remsen Board pre
ciously had reported adversely to the
the board's findings, declaring benzoate
promoted "the practice of concealing un
sanitary methods" and calling upon
President Taft to Institute another in
vestigation on "broader lines."
Resolutions on Food Laws.
i
The resolutions finally; adopted urges
that more drastic laws relative to the
labeling of oleomargarine be passed by
Congress; that Congress be asked not to
reduce the tax on colored oleomargarine;
that every state be urged to work In
harmony In regard to the National pure
food Jaws; that the Government insti
tute further Investigations leading to
purer foods; that the association elimi
nate from its programme any discussion
of "what Is whisky" pending a settle
ment of the question at Washington; that
President Taft, ex-President Roosevelt,
rthe Secretaries of Agriculture, of Com
merce and Labor and of the Treasury
be commended for their efforts to per
fect the Federal pure food laws.
Nathan Strauss, of New York City,
sent a communication asking the com
missioners to fight the sale of tuberculosis-infected
milk.
The association will adjourn tomor
row after - the election of officers.

used was Injurious and whether the
quality or strength oi a iu
treated was reduced or Injuriously af
fected. Experiments were then made
and he signed the report Daseo. on iukui.
Dr John H. Long, another member of
the board, explained the experiments
made by feeding six young men with
food treated with benzoate of soda. He
admitted having protected them from
interference and excused this by say
ing that before the experiment begun
some of them became, too sick to eat
properly, but after the newspapers had
ceased to note the work there was no
further trouble. He went on to tell of
the experiments saying: '
Did Not Disguise Rotten Fruit.
"At the request of a large manufactur
ing firm, there was sent to my labora
tory a mess of rotten tomatoes with
which to make catsup. I meanwhile had
gathered up more rotten tomatoes, ap
ples, a few peaches, and some bananas.
These were- allowed to rot further
through four or five days. Out of this
about two gallons of catsup were made.
Some of It was -preserved with vinegar
and spices, some with benzoate and some
left unmixed. The odor and taste of the
last were bad: that with the benzoate
showed essentially the same condition,
while with the vinegar and spices a fair
i rvnAR of catsuD was secured. A worse
lot of raw material could not be im
agined, yet the inferiority in the one lot
of product was completely concealed by
the use of vinegar and spices. Benzoate
has but little taste and no odor, and
therefore it cannot conceal inferiority."
Dr. Russell H. Chittenden, another
member of the board, said:
"From our experiments only one logi
cal - conclusion seems possible, viz., that
benzoate of soda In small -nd large
doses up to four grams per day la with
out deleterious effect upon the -human
system. I believe the evidence warrants
the opinion that sodium benzoate la no
more harmful than corresponding
amounts of common salt. In the light of
our experiments it is difficult to see why
benzoate in 'moderate amounts should be
considered any more inimical to health
than such a salt as sodium chloride."
Why Flour Is Bleached.
Dr. H. W. Wiley, chief chemist of the
Department of Agriculture, explained the
subject of bleached flour. "Exposure to
sunlight or air, constituting what is
known as 'aging,' produced a pertain
whitening in flour, he said. By chemi
cal means this change of tint could be
produced immediately, so far as appear
ance was concerned, and a perfectly new
flour made to look like an old one. In
addition to the bleaching of the flour.
other changes go on by exposure to th
air which, in the minds of a great many
consumers, improve its quality. There
fore there is a general impression, prob
ably., founded upon fact, that old flour, or
certain flour ground from old wheat, is
superior to new flour or flour made from
freshly-ground wheat."
