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.
