12 PURE FOOD EXPERT PORTLAND VISITOR NOTED PURE-FOOD EVANGELIST, ON" VISIT TO PORTLAND. RAILROAD OFFICIALS AND PHYSICIAN WHO ENTERTAINED HTM WHILE HERE. Dr. Harvey W. Wiley Points to Himself as Example of Temperate Living. LABEL'S EFFICIENCY SEEN Former Administrations Criticised for I-ack of Stamina and Manu facturers of Impure Foods Are Vigorously Denounced. Temperance in all thlnpsj." says Dr. Harvey Y'. Wiley, noted pure-food ex pert, who was In Portland yesterday, "is the secret to Ions life, health and happiness." Dr. Wiley then pointed to himself as an example of the result of temper ate living. He Is six feet, two Inches tall, weighs about 240 pounds and Is In his 70th year, yet anyone would take him for a man of 45. He is keen, active, alert and a veritable storehouse of Information on the pure-food ques tion. By temperance he does not refer to abstinence from Injurious liquors alone, but from Impure foods, overindulgence and "high living" generally, as well. "Impure foods are an Important fac tor in the high cost of living." he de clared. "because they contain little HQ tritlve value. The human body re quires more of them to satisfy its needs. They may be cheap at first, but In the long run It is mighty expensive." "Why is impure food?" the doctor was asked, anu he replied Quickly: Laws Declared Adequate. "The desire of unscrupulous and un principled manufacturers to get rich quick without the least thought for the health of the consumers or for the progress and development of the Na tlon. There is no excuse whatever for Impure or adulterated food. It Is wrong to make it and it Is Just as wrong to sell It." There Is no need for further legisla tlon to prevent the manufacture and sale of impure foods and drugs, he de clared. The existing Federal and state statutes are sufficiently stringent, he said. "All we need Is an Administration with a backbone." he added. "We had a lot of Jellyfish In the two past Ad ministrations. For six years I was In a constant quarrel with my superior officers. I look to the present Admin istration to do something toward en forcing the law. I have no direct knowledge on the subject, for I don't know President Wilson personally. Vice-President Marshall Is from my home state Indiana and I know that he wants to enforce the law strictly. From what I know of Mr. Wilson I feel sure that he is In favor of it. too." Progress la Seen. Dr. Wiley is certain, though, that the country has made a lot of progress In purifying Its food. Persistent agitation has forced tha manufacturers to com ply, at least in part, with the law, he contends. "Why. the notoriety given to the ben coate of soda adulterations." he said, "has almost prevented the sale of food articles containing benzoate of soda. The manufacturers are required to label their products with a statement of the exact Ingredients. Cautious people no longer buy anything with a benzoate of soda label on It. Tea, we are making some prog ress. The fight has not ceased merely because I was kicked out of office. But I don't feel many 111 effects from the kick." It was a year ago yesterday that Pr. Wiley left his office as head of the pure food bureau in the Depart ment of Agriculture. He had been in the Government service for SO years. Since quitting his official duties he he has been lecturing and acting as editor of the department of nutrition for the Good Housekeeping Magazine. He lectured last night at Albany. Saloaa la Denounced. While Dr. Wiley Is en advocate of temperance and has been so all his life, he says he Is not a tee-totaler him self. He drinks pure wine moderately In his home never In a saloon. "I am against the saloon." he de clared emphatically. "It has done more to wreck manhood, break up homes, cause crime and poverty and bring about misery and degradation than any agency In the known world." "Right living." he gave as the cause for his wonderfully well preserved frame and body, and then reached Into I his Inside coat pocket and extracted a . There." he asserted, proudly, '. ting the picture with his nana, i h.ttr man than I um. He's a i tor his age." t - the ninture of his own 10- months-old son whom he refers to as the hvgienlc baby. "Are vou raising your baby on pure food principles?" he was asked. -Tou bet," he answered. What did you feed It?" Katnral Food Favored. "Nothing but mother's milk. That's all any baby should have." rr. Wllev Is an optimist. He be lieves that "eventually the Impure food manufacturer will pass from the stage of life. The public will force him out He Is In the fight to stay, he declares. The members of Congress who know the fact, he predicts, will force a cor rect Interpretation and enforcement of the law. He seems to have little sympathy for either of tha ex-Presidents, Roosevelt and Taft. Roosevelt," he said, "upheld me on my definition of whisky, but Taft upset It all. They were making all kinds of Tot-gut" and selling it for whisky. I told them that whisky ought to be fitllled according to prescribed fashion and aed at least four years In wood before It could be sold. The Roosevelt Administration approved that decision. The succeeding administration dis credited It." Portland Vlatt Skert. . Dr. Wiley was In Portland only an hour. A. D. Charlton, assistant gen eral passenger agent of the Northern Pacinc: Haxen J. Titus, superintendent of the Northern Pacific dining-car de partment, and Dr. Georpe Alnsiie met him at the Union Depot. They took him on a spin through the residence section. He marveled at the beauty of the clty and Its growth since he was here 14 years ago. On his tr.ip through the Northwest Dr. Wiley has traveled on the Northern Pacific system and has patronized the dining cars of that road. "The Northern Pacific dining ear service Is superior to anything that had come under my previous observation." lie said. "The food seems pure and wholesome. The other railroads could do well to emulate the methods of the Northern Pacific. I am told that nearly everything used on their dining cars Is (ai-i i " rr.".-'if II 1 " -f .

It was a pleasure for me to eat while traveling on this road. "I ate some of the 'great big baked potatoes' that Mr. Titus has made fam ous and they were all that has been claimed for them." He called at 335 West Park street, to see his cousin. D. Walter Tllford, whom he had not seen for nearly 40 years. As a pure food advocate Dr. Wiley Is careful of what, he eats.

PROBATE DELAY CHARGED Various Sets of Alleged Heirs Set Vp Different Ancestry for Man. Whose Estate of Nearly $100,000 Is Desired. In a complaint In which It Is assert ed that ample time has elapsed for the completion of probate proceedings and that they would have been concluded but for the carelessness and time-wasting proclivities of Mrs.. Agnes Butts Heckard, the administratrix, the State nf Orea-nn vesterday began suit In Cir cuit Court to escheat the estate of H. r. Winters, the East Side recluse who died intestate and without known heirs June 20. 1911. leaving an estate various ly estimated to be worth from 180,000 to J100.000. The state is represented by District Attorney Evans, Ralph Citron and John H. Stevenson, the latter two special counsel appointed by Governor West. The estate consists principally of real estate, as follows: Lots 1 to 4, inclu sive, and the west half of lots S and P. block 114, -East Portland; lots 5. 6 ami 7. hloclt 1. Corona Park: lots 27 and iS, block 4, Mansfield addition; lot 5, block 13, Klnzel Park addition; lot S3, block 1, Stanley addition; lots 8 and 9, block 21. Point View addition, and lot 13. block 30. Albina Homestead addition The realty 'described as being in block 114, East Portland, includes the entire frontage on the east side oi Brand ave nue between East Davis and East Ev erett streets and 50 by 100 feet facing on East Davis street in the same block. The property is improved and tne ouaa- Ings are rented. The commencement of escheat pro ceedings opens up the avenue for the various groups of alleged heirs, each asserting that a different man was father of H- D. 'Winters, to contest the state's right to the property. There are five or six sets of alleged heirs and thev are scattered all over the union, the bulk residing In the State of New York, where H. . winters Is supposed to have been born and to have spent his early years. There cave been hints that Winters was not the old man's real name, hut nothing taneible has devel- oned so far in support of. this idea. Old- timers who knew Winters well are unanimous in declaring that he was ex tremely reticent as to his past. ally had been purchased with her money and was being held by her hus band as her trustee. The result was to release the proper ty from attachment, which was levied when a suit was started against Wilde by Thomas C.
