Dr. Wiley Points Out Two More Harmful Preservatives TRIED THEM ON HIS SQUAD In The Interests Of Health Both Ben joiac Acid And Benzoate Of Soda Should Be Excluded From Foods Aren't Needed, Anyhow. WASHINGTON, July 22.-In the Interests of health both benzoiac acid and benzoate of soda should be ex cluded from foods. This is the con clusion of Dr. Harvey Wiley, chief of the Bureau of Chemistry of the De partment of Agriculture after a pro longed investigation to determine the effect upon the human system of these preservatives. The chemicals were given in various kinds of foods to Dr. Wiley's so-called poison squad and he declared that their use is high ly objectionable and produces very serious disturbances of the metabolic functions attended with injury to di gestion and health. It is pointed out that these symptoms were pro duced upon healthy individuals receiT ing good and nourishing food and liv ing under proper sanitary conditions. It is only fair to conclude, there fore," says Dr. Wiley, "that under similar conditions these preservatives in the case of weaker systems or less resistant conditions of health, much more serious and lasting injury would be produced." He declared that the investigation is of special importance because of the opinion held by many manufact urers of food and consumers ' that benzoaic acid and benzoate are probably- the least harmful of any of the preservative substances employed. The results of these investigations, Dr. Wiley states, have shown that there is not a single article of food which has been preserved by means of these preservatives, such as cid er, grape juice, mince meat, jelly, jams, catsup, preserves, etc, which cannot be preserved and offered to the consumer in perfect condition without the aid of any chemical pre servations. , MAY BE PARDONED.

Mauretania And Lusitania In Dry dock For Winter NEW YORK, July 22.-Thc Cun ard Lier Mauretania, which will sail to-day for Liverpool, will still be un der three propellers. It has been de cided not to use her port forward tur bine until she has been in dry dock in November. After November 1, the company will discontinue the Wednesday sailings from New York and Liverpool until next spring and run only large Saturday service. Both the Mauretania and the Lusitania will be taken off for two months for a thorough overhauling so that they will be ready to go into commission again in January. There is no nec essity .the officials say, to run such big liners in the Atlantic trade in mid winter, as the passenger traffic is then at its lowest ebb. Besides, it is nec essary to examine such fast steam ships thoroughly at regular periods, the strain being much greater on their hulls than on slower and smaller boats. A big saving is effected in coal alone, the bill per day for either of these leviathans of the Atlantic aver aging $4,000. During the time they are laid off the service will be per formed by the Lucania, Campania, Et- ruria, Carmania and Umbria. The Caronia will go to the Mediterranean during the winter months.

Mr. "Roosevelt Visits The Naval Col lege At Newport And Intimation Given Out That There May Be Ra dical Changes Made In Navy. NEW YORK, July 22.-Uenry Reuterdahl, the marine artist who has been the foremost critic of the navy bureau system says he is convinced beyond a doubt that President Roose velt's visit to the naval college to day means the end of the entire bu reau system. Mr. Reuterdahl would give 116 intimation of what President Roosevelt said to him on his recent visit to Oyster Bay which made him so firmly convinced of the outcome of the President's visit. "The Newport conference means that the navy is passing throfigh a transition just as important as the transition from sail to steam," said Mr. Reuterdahl. "The success or failure of our new navy rests, upon gunnery and the men who go to sea, who work the guns and the ships. "For years the men in control of the policy of battleship construction have been officers schooled in the days of the sailing ship' who learned mo dern man-of-war in the old tin pot ship squadron. They have had little or no experience on board the present type of modern ships. It is natural that when reaching high rank or be coming bureau chiefs that they are not familiar with many of . the mili tary requirements of modern battleships." ENTERTAIN BUSINESS MEN.
