Dr. Wiley, It la pointed ut'by'.hU friends, never has asserted that the pofc on waa quick acting;. In fact, the con tention of the advocate of pure food has been all along that the danger lay in poisons so slow In their effects that it was almost Impossible to brine home to the offending manufacturer ilia com' uilctty in resulting disease.. !,. , : : v. Dr. MUey's friends aret saying that the Judgment U took him nine months of experiment to demonstrate to his own satUlaction, In the nature of the drug under consideration, hardly can be over turned by a two months' Investigation, especially when this inveatlgation was ronaticiea by cnemlsts some or whom have not in recent years been out of the chemical laboratories, and whoa ape clalty was not foods. - Dr. H. S. Blackmore of Washington. who la consulting chemist to-the state -or new irorlc department ol healthy In an interview, said: "Bensoate of soda, of which we have neara so much or late as being em D loved as a food preservative, has all-the . ear- maras or a most dangerous substance, It la a compound of benzoic- acid and soda. Bensoic acid is Dhenvl-formic acici, ine phenyl content is the active constituent of carbolic acid- and acetahl lid. the latter of which is employed in headache nowdera. and has been the cause of many wrecked lives from dis canes of' the heart, which it affects seri ously, while the former la a well known corrosive ijoison. "The formyl content is a constituent of tormic all :;i dv "hich has been uni versally condemn d as a food preserva tive. The benzoyl ptaeny 1-formyl) con tent of benzoic add in the substance which makes coralne active. "Commercial bensoic acid Is manufac tured from horse or other animal urine or artificially made from coal tar. AH these facts would rolnt to the oossibil- ity of bensoic acid or its compounds not oniy Deing or a composition most aan geroun to health. If continuously used, but. to say the least, an unclean aub stance as a constituent of an article of food. It would seem that the foisting , of this substance ' on the publio as a constituent of food by commercialism would be as dangerous as the foisting of opium on the people." EIGHT-YEAR-OLD GIRL C03miTS'SlflClDE Worried by Household Cares, Poor Miner's Child Shoots Herself In Her Father's Presence. V Greensburg, Pa., Feb. 20. "Goodbye, papa, I'm going te shoot!" were the last words of little May Kstilla Flats, eight years old. as she -raised a revolver to . her temple and fired, falling dead at her father's feet. That the littla child, worried with the cares of being mother to the whole family deliberately planned her own death Is borne out by the almost fran tic father, and neighbors Jlo whom the wee rlrl had talked tearfully of ner troubles as a housekeeper. ; Flais is a poor miner whose wife died several weeks ago, leaving him with three small children. May, the girl of 8, being 'the oldest. Flaia, not having the money to get a housekeeper, decided to allow May to act as woman- of the house, to take care of the two smaller children in. his absence and cook his meals, too. : This the little-one did for some days without complaining, but re cently she had complained to the neigh bors that- the smaller children worried hF and that everything seemed to go wrong wltlfc her in the nouae. Botti her baby brother had been 111 Saturday and she had not been able to prepare the meal for her father against the time of his coming home from the mine. He went Into the kitchen 'and began washing the grime off his face and lianda. when, without warning, hia lit tle child mother of the family appeared in tha doorway with a big revolver, whicn she had to haDdla with, both hands, and saluted him with: "Good-bye, papa; I'm going to shoot!"

She caught a bit of a cold the other day. and Dr, W.

Yesterday Mlml lost her temper and. wrenching a small wooden exercising ladder from its fastenings in her cage, she used - it as a battering ram and broke the plate glass between the cages. Then sne aropped tne laaaar ana sailed in to inflict such corporal pun ishment unon her rude tormentors as she thought they deserved. She spanked them soundly and was, enjoying herself very much wnen wig joe nuey, tne keeper, came to their rescue.

We make an extensive showing of these high-class garments, each of which exemplifies some striking style feature. They embody the advance Paris style features just as the Pellard Suits of last fair were a forecast of the present spring styles. The charm of these suits lies in the exclu sive tailoring. No ordinary garments can imitate them. Pellard Suits are made in many instances in ex clusive shades of colorfabrics that cannot be bought in Portland stores. These first arrivals are moder ately, priced $40 to $100. Later, we will have Pellard Suits up to $300. Probably it's difficult for the average customer to appreciate how unusually large an assortment of new ready- ? to-wear garments we now have. The explanation is quickly found. The styles are assured, the plain tai tored effects having unquestioned preference with the well dressed. But in the new shades and the new mate rials there are notes of warning. The most coveted materials of this season are largely imported; the shades are unusualand when the original purchases of materials are exhausted there is a possibility that more ordi nary fabrics must be substituted. Today our assortment is probably the largest we have ever offered at this 1 season of the year. We can deliver a suit or costume quickly because our alteration room is prepared to do the work promptly. As soon as the busy season begins, the usual length of time will be required. In fact, ' everything conspires to make the present moment opportune for the selection of spring apparel. t SPECIAL OFFERING OF SEVERAL NEW MODELS IN TAILORED SUITS. $35 EA.
