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.

NEW BIDS ASKED.
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."

with the Old Quaker Remedy. Here
is an cxampleworth reading:
Arthur Rooke, 412 Duane street,
Astoria, Ore., says: "At the time I
began using Doan's Kidney Pills I
was suffering severely from pain in
my back and shoulders which - de
scended at timc9 into my limbs. The
pains seemed to be as severe during
the night as in the day and many
times interfered with my rest. At
one time I wa so lame that I was
not able to stoop to lace my shoei
without suffering acutely. My kid
neys were irregular in action and the
secretions were in a terrible condi
tion. At last a friend recommended
Doan's Kidney Pills to' me so highly
that I procured a box at Charles
Rogers & Son'i drug store. They
helped me from the first and I con
tinued using them until I was entirely
free from kidney complaint. I am
now entirely well and it gives riie
pleasure to recommend a remedy of
such great benefit as Doan's Kidney,
Pills."
