No one engaged in the experiments has

has produced this change, or, II he

getting clearer. We didn't think any
thing about it at first, but after awhile
when it was seen that all Of US were
pink checked, we began to tumble, that
it was the stuff they are putting In our
rations now. We don't know exactly
what this Is, but we think that they
stopped the borax course some time
ago. Therefore, it must be the other
drug, maybe arsenic. There was one
fellow at the observation table, who
when he first came to the bureau, had
complexion like one Of the 81 varie-

him. He has a skin like the inside OF

Experiments With Food Preservatives
Progressing Satisfactorily.
Chief Chemist Harvey w. Wilson,
says a Washington dispatch, continues
to guard the experiment with food
preservatives which he is conducting
with a dozen or more clerks Of the de-
partment with great secrecy, under or
ders from Secretary Of Agriculture
Wilson. Nevertheless as the young
men are not kept indoors all the time,
it is impossible to conceal all effects
which the drugged food may have up-
on the subjects Of the experiments.
Although there have been no marked
changes in any Of the young men, so
far as health is concerned, 1t has de-
veloped within the last week that all
who have been at the doctors table
are taking on delicate pink complex
ion, which, it Is said, would be the en-
Wy of any young miss in the land. 1t Is
not thought this Is due to the borax
which has been given to the young
men in their food for the last few
months, but to some chemical which
has been mixed with the food unknown
to the subjects. This change in the
doctors boarders caused some con-
Germ at first until a thorough exami-
nation was made of all the young men,
and they were reported to be in a
perfectly healthy condition.
The only admission that will be
made at the department is that all
the drugs used in the food have up to
date proved absolutely harmless. The
