THIS ANOTHER MENACE
70 PUBLIC'S HEALTH

Milk Inspector McEvilly is on the
lookout for a new menace to public
health. and new preservative adul-
terant OF milk. It. is sodium benzoate.
Following the crusade of the milk
inspector against formaldehyde for a
similar purpose, unscrupulOus milk
dealers looked around for a substitute.
The result was that sodium benzoate
has been found. The new adulterant
is sodium salt Of benzoic acid, and
has the same effect ON milk as formal
dohyde. It prevents milk spelling and
interferes with digestion. 1t is espe-
cially dangerous to infants.
The milk inspector has not secured
evidence against any dealers for using
this preservative. The penalty fol
using this is the same as for using
fOrmaldehyde.

American congress, the senate adj
journed sine die at $50 o'clock yes
terday afternoon.
The conference report on the Phil
ippine government bill was adopted
without very serious opposition, and
then when the desks of the senate were
cleared for adjournment. Mr.. Carmack
called up his resolution providing for
a continuance of the investigation of
the Philippine committee and for a
visit to the Philippine Islands by the
committee during the present sum-
mer. This started the trouble, and for
more than an hour a battle of words
was waged. Mr.. Spooner delivered a
yscathing denunciation of the minority
Of the Philippine committee for what
he declared was an attack upon the
American army.
Mr.. Carmack denied that any attack
had been made upon the army, and de-
clared that any fool could charge such
a calumny and any parrot could be
taught to repeat it. The resolution was
referred to a committee, thus effect
ually killing it.
Just before adjournment the usual
resolutions were adopted, including one
offered by Mr.. Cockrell, the venerable
Democrat from Missouri, cordially
thanking President Pro Tempore Frye
for the dignifed, impartial and cour-
teous manner in which he had presid-
ed over the deliberations Of the SEN
ate"
Just before the senate adjourned

the committee on appropriations, pre-
sented a statement showing the total

Drs. Pyle. Chandler (of Ccntrcville). and
Stubs Gail physiclan, a majority OF
whom had come to the conclusion that
Lynn was not suffering phynically be-
cause OF his confinement. My information
was that two of the three physicians had
found Mr.. Lynn in very good, physical
condition considering that he was con-
fined. / was also advised from the same
sources that II would be represented 20
the pardon board that the condition of
Lynn's health demanded his discharge. In
order TO prevent what I deemed TO be a
