TO TEST PRESERVED MEAT.
Twelve Government Employers 10
Partake for q Year of Food Chem
ically Prepared.

Professor w. III. Wiley, chief of the
bureau Of chemistry Of the agricul-
tural department., has begun series Of
experiments on IL young men in the
government employ for the purpose
OF testing the physiological e1fcc,A Of
the use OF meat preserved with borax
and other oh emicals. The experiments
will be made with view to deciding
what basis there is for the objections
OF the German government to Ameri-
can meats, on the ground that borax
and other chemicals used in theirpres-
ersation are injurious to public health.
The IL young men selected are volun-
teers, and all are young and vigorous.
Each has pledged himself during the
period the tests are to last to abstain
from food and drink except as it may
be permitted by Prof. Wiley. They are
nearly all of them employed in the
scientific bureaus Of the agricultural
department..
SIX of them will be fed on pure"
foods, untreated meats, and vegetables,
while the other six will partake of the
same fare submitted to chemical treat
ment.
This arrangement will continue for
about two weeks, and then the govern
ment boarders will change their diet,
those not eating chemically treated
food adopting such a regimen, while
the others get untreated rations, and
at the end of two weeks reversing their
diet again. This will be continued for
year or more.
The men will be weighed before each
meal and careful notes will be taken
of their appearance each day. The ex-
periments will be conducted by the
government to demonstrate what eff
teet borax, salycilic acid, formaldehyde,
benzoic acid, benzoate of soda, and
other chemicals used for preserving
foodstuffs have on the health of the
consumers of such foods.

When the letter from 'An Ameri-

ridicule and denial from the officials
and old students of the university.

in the way of constructing larger
windows or of providing other means
of ventilation.

The butter was tested on the day it ar

That was on butter submitted by Mr..

his daughters life, but long before
he could smother them life became

What is Mud -slingingp
Birmingham News.

A contemporary deplores the mud-sling ing at eX-Ciovernor Johnston by the news papers supporting Governor Jclks. If there has been any mud thrown by the press at Governor Johnston, The News has not seen it. Mud-slnging, as The News interprets it, are those declarations which are aimed at mans private char acter-an impe lchment of his veracitN, charge against his morals, a reflection upon his integrity, or an lnsinuati1n against his habits.
 Mud-slinging is that character of attack that leaves a stain. even after the pa sions engcndered by fierce political contest have subsidcd. It is that kind If assault which is calculated to leave ones private reputation bruised and crippled; that is Calnulatel to lower man in the esr1matio1 f his associates and neigh bors d. that directed towards his priv; personal character.

 So far as The News has observed. this campaign has been singularlv free from mud-singIng except in several insignih cant instances when Governor Jelks was made the target of charges which were completely and easily refuted.
 If Governor Johnston has been charged with anything against his private char actcr, The News has not observed it, He criticisms have been directed at his pub lie career.
 Ex-Governor Johnston is out of line with his party, and Democrats have con demned him. He is hostile 10 the new Constitution and friends of that instru- ment warn the people to beware of him. He is an astute and overly ambitious pol itician. and those not in sympathy with his schemes and aspirations have com merted upon the unwisdom of placing him in a position of power. He repre- sents no issue but desire to get office, and those who see his purposes have not hcsitatod to expose them. His attempt to be a third-term Governor of Alabama in dc fiance of precedent has been regard ed as revolutionary. but in all of these criticisms there is no mud-shnging.
 The advocates of the election of Gov ernor Jelks are to be commended for

As de- scriptive of the famous bibitory structure composed of usquebaugh, mint. etc. it Is an American institution. Simply because Alabama cannot lay claim to the inven- tion, why throw over Virginia and even lose all sense of patriotism ?-Norfolk Landmark.
 Needn't get on your ear about it. We knew that Virginia would claim the julep with as much jealous pertinacity as she claims Mrs. Rolfe and Johnny Smith. But how does The Landmark know what the old English juleps were made of? Those people had all the ingredients. and it may be that they knew how to make. and did make. the same delicious concoction which Virginians claim as their own in vention. However, we are willing to ad- init that the preponderance of evidence is in favor of America, and rather in fa- vor of Virginia. We hope that is satis- factory.

REMEDY FOR SMOKE.
How Berlin Escapes the Smoke
 Nuisance.

Chicago Record Herald
 F. H. Mason the alert and efficient American Consul General at Berlin, has an interesting suggestion to offer regard ing the abatement of the smoke nuisance He says that Berlin is a notably clean city, though it is a great manufacturing center. and that this is largely due to it's use of briouettes, which he describes as a composition of brown coal peat and the dust and waste of coal mines.
 This machine made fuel is not unknown outside of Germany, and we find de scription from The Manchester City News, which is that the manufacture consists simply of the transformation of smudge' or very small coal Into solid blocks weigh ing about Il 1-4 pounds each. per cent of pitch being employed in the process. The consul general testifies, however, that briquettes such as he describes are the common fuel of Berlin. being used for both domestic and manufacturing pur- oses and on the railroads. He adds that aside from being almost smokeless they are clean and convenient to handle, light easily and quickly. burn with clear and intense flame, and finally that they are cheap.
 If experiments in manufactured coal have been tried here it is all too obvious that the advantages of the Berlin product have not been realized. and the Berlin methods are certainly deserving of very careful examination. But it is worth not ing also that the Berlin authorities have not relaxed their vigilance because the city has nearly smokeless fuel. For the cleanliness of the city is ascribed Tn part to the skillful scientific construction of boiler furnaces and chlmneys, in part to the high standard of skill that is taught firrmen who stoke furnaces with coal for steam and manufacturing pur- CSeS

termine what became of several hundred thousand dollars supposed to have been realized by the sale of its stock.
 United States Senator John r. Jones of Nevada and former United states Senator Stephen w. Dorsey of star route fame, formerly president and vice-presl- dent of the Tripler Company. are alleged to have been the promoters. Alfred Bach, attorney for the complainant. says Mir. Dorsey managed the financial end of the scheme and spent S50,0OO in prelimlna- ry advertising. He adds:
 When the company was declared bank rupt it developed that it was indebted to various persons in the sum of $5o0,- GOO, and when it's assets were sold to satls- fy the indebtedness they realized $,0U. It is said that the promoters sold about 15o, GOO shares of their personal holdings of stock and realized on it from half to three-quarters of million dollars.
 "Fcnnell & Co. the fiscal agents. ana Thomas J. Finney, the general manager of the fiscal agency. in order to prevent the promoters from selling their personal stock and thus interfering with the sales of stock for the benefit of the threasury of the company, bought large amount of promotion stock at a price ranging from 5o cents to s2 a share. and by good manage r,ent sold it for their own ac- count ct from 8 to $S a share, but they did it SO judciously that the market price of the stock was not broken. and the company was not injured in any way except that 1t was unable to sell It's treas ury stock and therefore became pank- rupt.

CREAM of the SPECIALS
WISCONSIN DEMOCRATS
Get Together for the Approaching
 Campaign.

Milwauke Special to Chicago Record
 Herald.
 One of the most significant things in connection with the present rejuvenation of the Wisconsin Democracy IS the re- turn of the Old-time leaders to its coun- cils. Whatever may be the outcome Of the campaign, if this continues, the party will be benefited. It will mean a re- united Democratic party, which for the last six years has been divided into fac lions. each pulling it's own way without any regard to what the others might be doing The factional struggles in the Re publican party have disgusted many of the Democrats who went over to that party during the first Bryan campaign just as the squabble among cliques dis gusted the Republicans who went to the Democrats r 1s90 and drove them back into the old party fold.
 It is notice cable that at this critical point Democrats are bringing forward their best material The candidates named for the head of the State ticket are, with the exception of Mayor Rose, from the old leaderi, men of the highest standing, whose voice has been potent in the party councils in the past Mayor Rose is of the new leaders, but there are many Democrats throughout the State who feel that he Is entitled to rank with any of the old heads of the party,
 The fact remains. however. that with this one exception the gubernatorial tim Der offered comes from the old stock, sea soned by years of campaigning. The list is headed by Colonel William F. Villas and includes such men of sterling worth as Burr W. Jones. E. c. Wall. former Governor George w. Peck, Neal Brown and Dr. Wendall A. Anderson. hdcl. and every one has in the past proved his right to stand hign in the councils ot the party by his long, undertaking ad- herence to Democratic principles
 No stronger man could be placed at the head of the Democratic ticket than Colo mel Villas Once Senator. a member Of the Cleveland cabinet. able, eloquent, man of affairs. he would make Gov ernor of whom the State could well be proud But he does not want it. The Colonel viii be a delegate to the conven7 tion from Dane County, which sends solid delegation for Burr w.
