DR. WILE Y’S GOAT. Î I I Dr. Harvey W. Wil« y, storm petrel between food dopers and the Taft ad ministration, has l»-en a militant gov ernment chemist for 28 years. Packers of embalmed beef are arrayed against him because of bis fight against ben zoate of soda. Benzoate increases the profits of embalmed l>eef packers be cause it will "restore" and («serve mealaj that have become putrescent. The cost of manufacture of bologna and sausage may be materially reduced by using.water and cereals. .Water costs nothing and the cereal is cheaper than meat. The result is a ch»a(«ening of the pr.»iuct and a lowering of the food value. But when water and cereal is used the meat Ix-gins to Sour, It is to prevent this souring process that the benzoate of »«la may be used. (.'hem- ists declare benzoate is of no earthly use to the manufacturer who puts pure fixxis U(»>n the market. Dr. Wiley also fought the bleached tloiirjint«-r«*»ts to the last ditch. He ex posed the injurious colorings used in candies sold to chileren. He stubborn ly opposed the use of sulphur as a fruit preservative. He secured the removal of ths tax on denatured alcohol. He exposed frauds without numlier in pat ent medicines. It was Wiley who started the war on the use of narcotics arid other poisons in soda fountain drinks And lie stubbornly fought the whiskey trust until he was at last over- ruled by President Taft. These facts tell better than a long ar ticle could whv it is up to the food do pers to gel Wilev's goat. Also why it is up to the |«ople to see that they don't get it. ♦ PHILIPPINE INDEPENDENCE I OOMS AHEAD. DO YOU WANT IDEAS Iti getting up a booklet or other tasty advertising mat* ter?
