FULL IN ORANGE SHIPMENTS.

Fort Myers Press: Orange shipments
the past week have fallen off con-
siderably in Lee county. In this the
orange growers of this county have
displayed good judgment, for prices
have dropped so low that it would be
foolhardy for our growers to ship now
Over 60 per cent. of the crop of the
state has already been shipped, and
there is every prospect of good prices
after the holidays During the past
two weeks 4,95S boxes of oranges and
grape fruit have been shipped from
here by express, and 1,757 by freight.
This with the 31.692 boxes previously
reported. brings the total for the sea-
son to 3S,407 boxes. For the same date
last year the shipments were 4S,523
boxes.

POISON.EATERS
AT IT AGAIN.


Washington. THE squad Of govern
ment "polson-eaters." which was dis
banded last spring after eight months
on "doped diet" and recently reor-
ganized by Prof Wiley chief of the
bureau Of chemistry OF the agricultural
department. sat down this morning 70
an adulterated breakfast and for the
next eight months win try to determine
by practical experience, just what sail
cylic acid VIII do TO the human sys-
TEN. The members OF the squad viii
take capsules Of the acid, which Is in
general use as milk and meat and
general food preseryative, three times
a day with their meals until something
happens.
The former experiments were with
horax, and a constant diet OF this
chemical didn't seem TO bother the
polson-eaters a bit They all finished
IN the best OF condition, Prof, Wiley's
chief trouble was to keep them from
getting fat Some Of the poison-e
ers believe that borax is an excellent
tonic, and ever since the close OF the
experiments have used II for every
thing, from shampoo to cure for
stomach ache
Prof Wileys report containing the
results of the experiments with borax
Is now in course OF preparation, and
will be made public before long, The
conclusions reached by the professor
are eagerly awaited by meat packers,
manufacturers Of food products and by
the general public.
The experiments. with salicylic acid
will be more carefully conducted than
the former tests, principally out OF re-
gard for the poison eaters, as the chem
lcal IL known In n general way to act
as deterrent on the digestive APP
paratus But lust how II works and
just what IL viii do when fair test Is
given are not specifically known, and
that Is Just what Prof. Wiley Is trying
to discover. lie thinks he will, too,
If his squad Of twelve holds out.
The majority OF the squad who sat
down TO breakfast are new recruits
with untrled stomachs and unadulter-
ated enthusiasm Several members OF
last years squad got married during
the summer months and one or two
more are thinking seriously Of the same
step. As Prof Wiley gloomily re-
marked when Informed Of their plans:
They'll find that soup a la borax and
solicylic sauterne are in a class by
themselves compared to things alleged
70 be like mother used to make. Then
they'll wish they were back on doped
diet See II they don't"
Each member Of the squad that sat
down to breakfast this morning found
an Innocent looking capsule beside his
plate, Prof Wiley trusts to the honor
Of his poison-eaters. Of course, but he
also sits Mt the head OF the table, and
when he taps the table with the cary
ing knife, Just after finishing grace, the
capsules all go down in a hurry, with
a molthful OF water on top, Just as
an appetizer Prof. Wiley remarked
this morning to the new members of the
squad. The professors appetite is al
ways excellent, and, therefore, he never
takes a capsule.-Denver Post.
