have scorned honors Of nobility and
have at the same time held themselves
free to sell the products Of their genius
all over the world. The Khedive Of
Egypt was one Of the first patrons OF
the Krupps. The only country TO-
which the Krupp frm refused to sell
was Germany's avowed enemy,
France. with which. II was the belief
of the father Of the late Herr krupp.
Germany must sooner or later cross
bayonets In final national conflict.
Friedrich Alfred krupp received
through inheritance a steel business
which his father and grandfather had
struggled to establish on broad grounds
OF utility and profit. and he invented q
gun which turned tho seat OF his enter
prise. Essen. in Germany. into one or
the most important seats OF the steel
industry. He hal 5000 men on bis
payro!ls and supported indirectly q
city OF 10000 Inhabitants. He was
the largest single employer OF labor IN
the world. The Krupp Steel Works
form city in themselves.
Half a dozen years ago Herr Krupp
was kuOWU Us III" "eultu!est h"h su
Germany. His income was estimated
ut THAT time at between S5.0oO.0O0 and
So OOO,0
The present Kaiser had been more
successful with the late Herr krupp
than any Of his royal predecessors had
been In the matter Of retaining for
Germany any supremacy which the 10.
ventive genius of her people might
make possible. The Emperor William.
partly through onerations with Herr
Krupp was credited with the largest
degree OF success In the negotiations
which led TO the effective opposition
OF the German steamship lines to the
great international steamship combina.
ton which was lately effected.
The Kaiser has inade II custom for
several years 10 visit krupp each sea-
son before his tourney to the north.
Krupp was fond Of deep sea explora-
ton. and had yacht fitted expressly
for this work. and his collection or
specimens Of deni:nns Of the deep was
one OF the best known Of private collec~
tlons.

GUESTS OF UNCLE SAM
Twelve Young Men Are Being Fed
on an Amazing Diet.
Under Direction OF Agricultural Depart.
ment They Dine on saIyciiie Acid. Far-
mnldehyde and Benzoic Acid.

Washington, d. C.-Scientiflc and off,
cial Washington Is greatly interested
In the food experiments that have been
begun here under the auspices Of the
Agricultural Department.
Twelve young men, who are In the
Government employ. have dIscontln-
ued the regular method Of eating and
drinking. and are now fed by Uncle
Sam scientifically. They live In a
Government boarding house and eat
only the things that Professor Wiley
places before them.
Congress was prevailed upon to start
this official inquiry for the purpose OF
proving or disp-oying the assertions OF
foreign experts and officials OF conti-
mental Europe who have made war on
American food products on the ground
that they are dangerous because OF
being chemically treated. Germany
has been making objections to the pre-
servatives used In American meats.
THE experiments" said Professor
Wiley, will be conducted by the Gov.
ernment to demonstrate what effects
borax. salycilIc acid. formaldehyde.
benzoic acid, benzoate of soda. sulphu.
rous acid and other chemicals used for
preserving food stufrs have on the
health Of the consumers Of such foods.
I'VE have built In the basement OF
the Department Of Chemistry IN up
to-date kitchen. which Will be presided
over by first-class cook appointed un.
der the Civil Service. The best food
obtaInable will be given TO the boys.
The fare will not be lavish. but Will be
above that of the average boarding
house, and will include all the yegeta.
bles and meats Of the season. The
young men who will submit to the ex-
pertinent have taken oaths to abstain
from all food not prepared by US. and
I have confidence In them. or course
It would not do for me to give their
names"
Six Of the young men will be fed on
absolutely pure foods. Six others Will
be fed on food that has been treated
with preservatives as It Is for CONNER.
cial purposes. This arrangement will
continue two weeks. when the young
men will be changed about. Every
care will be taken Of them. They Will
watched and every symptom will be
noted.
The young men have been told OF the
serious nature Of the experiment and
the deprivations they will have to en-.
dure. but rs all are students In science
they enter upon the years work with
enthusiasm. They Will not even be
permitted to drink water while Mt
work. Every morsel Of solid or liquid
food which passes their lips from the
time they begin the test must be eaten
In the Government eating house.
Before each meal for year each Of
these young men will be weighed and
his physical condition noted. Each MI
mute action Of their life during this
time will be under the direct super
vision OF Professor Wiley.
Professor Wiley Is Of the opinion
that borax Is not any more injurious
than common table salt. but he admits
that he only believes It: he does not
know It to he 4 scientific fact. and he
Is open to conviction.

The blood 10 life. We derive from the
blood life, power, beauty and reason, as the
doctors have been saying from time i'm.
memorial. A healthy body, fresh appear.
ance, and generally all the abilities We pos.
sess depend on that source of life. 1t 10
therefore the duty Of every sensible man to
keep The blood as pure and normal as pos.
sible. Nature, in its infinite wisdom, has
given US thermometer indicating the state
OF the blood, which appeals to our reason
by giving notice of its impurity. Small
eruptions Of the skin, to which we scarcely
nav any attention, headache. ringing noises
in the ears, lassitude, sleeplessness, are
generally q sign that the blood is not in its
normal staSe, but il filed with noxious sub.
stances. These symptoms deserve our full
attention. If more attention were paid to
those symptoms, and steps taken to. re-
move them then many illnesses from which
we suffer would become unknown, and the
human body would become stronger and
healthier. Attention therefore should be
paid to those warning signs. and the blood
can be purified and poisonous substances
removed from it by the use Of DR.. August
Koenia's Hamburg Drops, discovered more
than 60 years ago.
