Six Eaters Wanted.

Washington may be a tramps
paradise when DIR. H. w. Wiley,
Chief Chemist of the Agricultural
Department, inserts in the papers
an advertisement, which he is said
to be preparing, something like
this:
Wanted-six healthy young men
with nothing to do bat eat.
Congress during its last session
directed the Agricultural Depart.
ment to experiment and report on
the effects of foods which have been
artifcially colored or preserved
DR.. Wiley holds that he cannot
make these experiments unless he
has some one to experiment on.
Consequently the "healthy young
men, with nothing to do but eat, -
may be sorry after they have eaten,
but they will be under the observ.
ing care OF DR.. Wiley, and their
condition at all times will be re.
corded in history.
