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. BACON MAY SUCCEED WHITE import of Probable Withdrawal of Am bassador to Franco. Paris, March 13.—The report re ?. oelved from the United States that former Secretary of State Robert Ba con might be chosen to succeed Henry White as ambassador to France has created considerable surprise, as it has been understood in diplomatic and governmental cirolos that Mr. WW would remain. 8 if $1 r" *", V *-r-~ »V:: 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 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'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.
