FlfiHT FOB PURE FOOD
Or. H. W. Wilsy Tells How It Has
Shown Results.
BOUND TO WIN IN THE END.
fredletlon of Chief of M**te«al Cfcem
teal Bureau, Who 8ays Nine-tenth*
of Manufacturers Are Now Turning
0ut Unadulterated Products—Power
«f Publio In Aiding the Campaign.
Dr. H. W. Wiley, chief of the bureau
of chemistry In the department of ng
Hculture at Washington, went to New
York recently to lecture at Columbia
university and look over the opera
tions of the New York government
laboratories in the appraisers' stores.
While he did not feel at liberty to say
anything about the recent overruling
of his decision that benzoate of soda
s was harmful, ho did say that he
thought the pure food campaign had
been successful thus far and that it
was bound to win In the end.
"Of course you will understand that
I cannot place myself In the position
of criticising my superior officers,"
Bald I)r. Wiley. "My own personal
views regarding the use of benzoate
of soda as a preservative are known,
fe But my opinion has been set aside,
and now the law says that benzoate
of soda Is harmless and may be pin
ployed at will by the manufacturers.
As that Is the decision of my supe
riors, I shall strive to uphold it as
best I can.
"I think we are having great success
In the pure food campaign, lioth man
ufacturers and consumers are renllz
lng that It costs less In the long run
to make and eat uncontamlnated sub
•,*. stances than stuff that has been bol
stered up by coloring matter and pre
servatives. Nine-tenths of the manu
facturers are now turning out un
adulterated products.
"The rest, I am Inclined to think.
Will continue foisting adulterations on
the public as long as they are permitted
to do so or as long as the public
will buy what they make. After all,
when you come right down to facts,
there Is no particular reason why the
spurious preserved products should
sell. They are made and sold simply
because people can be found to buy
them. In a way, then, It Is the pub
lic's fault. Let consumers positively
demand that what they buy shall be
pure and they will get only pure arti
cles.
"As a matter of fact, you don't
make anything by buying what Isn't
pure. On the face of things, It may
seem that you do, but analysis dis
poses of the assumption. Take the
case of catchup, which has l«eeu much
to the fore recently. You can buy
perfectly pure, good catchup for 15
cents a bottle. You can buy adulter
ated catchup for 10 cents a bottle, but
there Is twice as much catchup, real
catchup, In the pure bottle, so that to
get as much in the adulterated article
you must pay 20 cents.
"The only reason the manufacturers
make spurious foods is that they are
avaricious. They can make a few
Iflpre cents by cheapeniug their prod
uct and using less expensive Ingre
dients. But more and more, I think,
they are beginning to appreciate that
honesty is the best policy. In other
words, the man who turns out food
that will stand the test Is the man
whose products will keep the market
longest and increase sales steadily.
"In this respect it is encouraging to
note, as I said, that manufacturers
representing in numbers and volume
of business transacted more than nine
tenths of the manufacturers of the
United States are selling only un
adulterated goods. I recently attend
ed a convention of canners, at which
there were 3,000 delegates. Resolu
tions were passed in favor of the pure
food laws, and the delegates pledged
themselves to support them. That is
proof of the trend of public sentiment.
"Our great hope, though, lies In the
persistent education of the buying
public. It cannot be emphasized too
strongly that the final decision rests
with the consumer. If he refuses to
buy Impure foods no manufacturer
will be willing to lose his, money by
making stuff that cannot be sold. It
Is the gullible, the Ignorant and the
careless who encourage manufacturing
of impure food.
"Most of the canned goods on the
market today are guiltless of adultera
tion, and Bteady improvement is to be
noted in other things, such as pre
serves, which are not sterilized. We
are at any rate forcing the manufac
turers to obey the law. For Instance,
the wine producers are much more
honest than they used to be. Use of
false foreign labels on domestic wines
Is rare. Many manufacturers have
come around to this view without un
due pressure, and I am applying moral
suasion to the remaining delinquents.
If that doesn't have the desired ef
fect 111 set the law on them.
"In the course of time, as people
become sufficiently educated in the
facts of the case. I believe the men
who manufacture spurious, adulter
ated foods will be driven out of busi
ness."— New York Post.

GIBBONS ON TAFT.
Cardinal Hopes to Hear Him Called,
Like Gladstone, "Our William."
Cardinal James Gibbons In n speech
at the banquet in honor of President
Elect Taft in New Orleans the other
night said in part:
have known Mr. Taft for severs)
years, and the more I have known him
the better I have learned to admire ani
esteem him. In common with thousands
of others I have been fascinated by that
genial smile that will not come off—a
smil that Is not artificial, hut Is the re
flection of a heart full of benevolence and
oversowing with the milk of human kind
ness.
Judging from the enthusiasm of the pec
pie of the Crescent City, 1 believe they
will bestow their affections on the pres
ident elect for 364 days, and on the re
maining day they would give him their
SurTiaRe, and In so doing they might
travel farther and fare worse.
Nearly thirty years ago 1 saw that the
people of Oreat Hritaln and Ireland were
In a high state of enthusiasm over the
election to parliament of Gladstone, whom
they called "Our William." and I am sure
that the gentlemen assembled here to
night and the men and women of New
Orleans and the citizens at large through
out the 1'nlted States will take equal
pride In calling our honored guest by the
familiar but endearing name of "Our Wil
liam."
This statement was greeted by tre
mendous applause.
BISON HUNT ON SNOWSHOES.
H. V. Radford Off on Long
Trip
Through Northwest Canada.
Harry Vincent Radford, the ezplor
er, recently left New York for Mont
real, the start of a G.000 mile trip
through northjvost Canada in an ef
fort to locate the rare wood bison.
Before starting Mr. Radford said:
"There are numerous obstacles to
be overcome In this undertaking, but
I am used to hardships. I shall take
only one sledge and eight dogs with
me, and my emergency rations will be
limited to malted milk and sweet
chocolate. For the rest I shall trust
to the gamo and fish of the country
for support. The American Bison so
ciety has appropriated a sum for a re
port of my I rip, and I have secured
contracts with several magazines for
articles. Archbishop Farley has given
me his special blessing and letters to
Canadian missionaries. From Ed
monton, the most northern railroad
point In America, I shall travel by
snowshoe to Nome, Alaska, and be
tween these points I exjwjct to find the
long sought wood bison."
TORCH OF TERRIFIC HEAT.
New Invention Pierces Twelve Inch
Steel and Welds Aluminium.
A torch operated by oxygen and
acetylene, radiating a heat of 6,1500
degrees, said to be the most terrific
known to science, has beeu invented
at Cleveland, O., by John Harris.
liy means of this torch it is possible,
it is declared, to weld alumiuium,
heretofore regarded as an Impossibil
ity. The torch makes a flame that
will cut through two Inches of solid
steel in less than one minute and
pierce a twelve inch piece of the hard
est steel in less than ten minutes. It
would take a saw almost twenty hours
to do this work.
"The uses of the new torch are man
ifold," said Harris the other day. "be
cause It opens a heretofore impossible
field in brazing and welding. In dis
mantling old machinery It will demon
strate Its worth. The torch will cut
through any known metal, and In
wrecking work it will cut into mova
ble pieces within a few hours ma
chinery that would require months to
dismantle in the old way."
Forest Protection and Management*
Conservative management of timber
lands Is assured for less than one
fourth of the United States forested
areas, the part contained in the na
tional forests and under the adminis
tration of the United States forest
service. By cutting only the mature
trees and protecting the new growth
by keeping out llres the national for
ests will be made to yield indefinitely.
It cannot be expected that this small
part of the nation's forests will sup
ply the demand for future generations,
and the one hope in sight is that
users of wood and lumber manufac
turers will insure the permanence of
their busine.-ts by applying the princi
ples of forestry In the management of
timber lands.
America's Homecoming Fleet.
It has been around the world, everywhere
Its flag unfurled.
And it's proved the very finest of Its
sort.
Wherever It has sailed it has been with
friendship hailed.
And they've cheered our ships and men
at every port.
It lias made our nation known a world
power from zone to zone
And reelected as It never was before.
And the tributes It has wou from the rise
to Bet of sun
It Is bringing back In triumph to our
door.
Not a finer set of men have the ports had
in their ken
Than the jackles oa each Yankee bat
tleship.
Whether manning guns at post or at ban
quet drinking toast,
Their praises are on every foreign Up.
We have shown what we can do with a
battleship and crew,
We have proved how much at peace
we'd rather he.
But If we're forced to war, wall inten
tloned us we are.
We've the stuff from which they carve
out victory.
A peace cruise it has been finer than the
world has seen.
And the nations have been clamoring
for Its call.
And Its coming in broad sweep Is a mem
ory to keep
In the records and the history of them
all.
Tea, it's won us a proud name, it has
given to us fame.
In its wide and comprehensive ooeaa
roam
In its world encircling story It haa cov
ered us with glory,
But we're very glad the fleet Is
home

RUMORS OF WAR IN
CENTRAL AMERICA
Gunboats of Nicaragua and Sal

Mexico City, March 18.—It la per
sistently rumored here that war has
broken out between Nicaragua and
Salvador and that there has been an
engagement between the Salvadorean
gunboat Fresidente and the Nlc
araguan gunboat Momotombo. The re
