DIR. WILEY'S REPORT
ARRANGING DATA FROM RECENT
EXPERIMENTS.
His Patients" All Appear Well and
to Have Suffered No In
convenience.

DR.. Harvey W. Wiley, chief Of the bu-
reau of chemistry of the Department of
Agriculture, said to reporter for The
Evening Star today that he was at present
engaged in the compilation of a report en-
bodying the results Of seven months of ex-
pertinent with the volunteers at what has
come to be popularity known as the 'Bo-
rax Boarding House"
Until the completion of this report there
will be nothing given out from the depart
ment regarding the experiments in adul-
terated food products save a preliminary
report, which may be expected about the
first of August.
The full report will not be ready until
about October /. and will then be given to
the public through the press and the usual
channels of publicity.
Object of the Experiments.
1t is not the object of the experiments to
secure data for the enactment of pure food
laws by Congress, but to determine what
elements that may be introduced into pre-
pared food are detrimental to health The
pure food laws already existent suffi
ciently broad in scope to thoroughly cover
the ground, and whatever there may be
lacking in them is covered by the laws of
other countries concerning the manufac-
ture and expectation of food products.
Nearly every country forbids by law the
introduction into prepared food of borax
or any other ingredient that has been de-
termined detrimental to health and the ex-
istence of these prohibitive laws assists
the United States in keeping them out of
our markets. 1t is merely the intention of
the Department of Agriculture to learn
| what it can regarding the injurious effects
of foreign elements when introduced into
prepared products so as to give Congress
the benefit of it's knowledge in any future
course that body may wish to pursue rela-
tive thereto.
Enforcing Pure Food Legislation.
The varying state laws on the subject has
made the enforcement of pure food legis-
lation very difficult problem of solution
and it Is the hope of those who have been
conducting the experiments that some uni
formity can be reached SO that the future
will be less productive of infractions of the
| several laws than has been the past
DR.. Wiley will continue his experiments,
which were temporarily abandoned during
| the summer, in October, when he will pro-
| ceed along similar lines for at least five
| months longer. Regarding the general
| health of his patients" he spoke enthus-
| iastically. though he announced that he
was under orders from the Secretary of
| Agriculture to withhold from the public all
matter appertaining to the experiments.
Tabulating the mass of figures that were
accumulated during the seven months
course of the experiments is a very large
| business and several months will be requir-
| ed for the completion of the work.

lion, and pointed out that in practically
every part of the south manufacturing in
terests have been given mighty impetus
