EUROPE'S HOTEL KING
IS NOW A LUNAIIC
Caesar Ritz Rose From Pow
erty to Affluence.

GENEVA, Switzerland, July o.
Three months ago Caesar Ritz was one
of the most progressive and enterpris-
Ing hotel managers in Europe; today
he is the inmate Of a lunatic asylum In
one OF the cantons OF his native Swift
zerland.
The career of Mr.. Ritz was truly an
amazing one. Born near Geneva about
fifty years ego, he went, while yet {
youth. to Monte Carlo, where he secured
employment as a walter. Being frugal
and Industrious. he saved money stead
lily. and having amassed fortune, went
to London. where he began his remark
able career as a hotel man.
He first opened the Hotel Savoy. and
this, from the start, was a success. Then
he went to Paris, where he established
the Hotel Ritz This also was singu-
larly successful. and then Ritz. seeing
the need of a first-class English-spea
ing hotel in Rome. opened the Grand
Hotel. which almost Immediately be-
came paying and popular.
Now the Savoy Hotel ranks with any
of the leading establishments. while the
Hotel Ritz. on the Place vendome
Paris. is probably the most mSgnifi-
Gently equipped in the French capital
Having thus established leading
houses in London. Paris, and Rome,
Ritz branched out, as 1t were. and
either established or became interested
in at least 100 other hotels throughout
Europe.
II All this stupendous work was accom-
plished in the short space of fifteen
years. a living monument OF the. ex-
traordinary enterprise and energy 81
perhaps one of the most remarkable
men in Europe.
The mental and physical strain in
VOWED in his huge business enterprises
told, however, upon him. and the re-
suit is that he IS now the occupant o.
a lunatic asylum, with little probability
of ever leaving II.
Mr.. Ritz is married man and has
one child.

DR.. WILEYS TESTS
WITH "DOPED" FOOD
Experiments With BOrax
Diet Explained.
NO CONCLUSIONS STATED
Declares Sterilization Is Best of All
Food Preservatives-If Possible
Chemicals Should Be Avoided.

DR.. Harvey W. Wiley. of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, addressed the Ma
tional Association OF State Dairy and
Food Commissioners at St. Paul yester-
day on the methods he has employed IN
studying the effects of preservatives on
the health of the twelve young men
whom the department had on a diet of
borax for seven months.
The address of DR.. Wiley gives none
Of the results obtained in the recent
tests. Expert mathematicians are now
engaged in compiling the records of the
experiments and It will probably be sew
eral months before accurate informa-
ton can be given out concerning The
Interesting tests. DR.. Wiley concluded
his address, however. with the follow
Ing statement which he bases on the
work Of other scientists who have in
vestigated the effects Of borax and Dor
acic acid~on the human system:
Best Food Preservatives.
Foods can be preserved for a re-
asonable length of time in most cir
cumstances without resorting to any
vative of any kind. Simple sterilization.
which can be applied to most foods. is
the most effective and the least obiec-
tionable OF all forms of food preserva-
ton There may be occasions Of emer-
gency or exigency in which the use OF a
chemical preservative is rendered IN
perative. The short period over which
Il 4
not seriously endapger the health OF the
consumer were he to eat food for a brief
period containing any one of the prin-
cipel preservatives in common use.
1T may be. further. wise policy not
to inaugurate absolute prohibition
against all preservatives, but It GER
tainly Is true that wherever for any
reason a preservative must be used the
package of food containing it should Re
clearly marked so that the purchaser and
the consumer may be fully informed re-
garding the matter.
Desirable Legislation.
''Preservatives which. even in small
quantities, when taken over a long
period of time produce deleterious re-
suits should not be used in any case
where It can be possibly avoided. and
they should be permitted only in those
cases Of exigency and emergency where
food cannot be properly preserved by
any other means.
National and State legislation should
be brought into harmony in matters re-
lating TO preservatives and colors so
that laws may be uniform, based on sound
hygienic and business principles. free of
any tendency TO prosecute or annoy. and
supported by an enlightened public opin-
ion both on the part Of the producers and
consumers of food"
These conclusions. or general state
ments. Of DIR. Wiley we're preceded by a
careful review OF the manner In which
he organized his boracic acid class and
the care which has been taken in the
preparation of all food and in the com
putation OF the food value Of everything
eaten by the men who made the depart
nent's experiments possible.

He Is Industrious and Thrifty, But
Does Not become Fully
Americanized.

Italy is still sending over sea swarms
of her people who risk the hazards of
new fortunes in the United States, and
the steamships from the Mediter-
ranean brings hosts of steerage pas
sengers to Ellis island, says the New
York Tribune. The sturdy sons of
Italy toll industriously in their new
homes, and almost every one of them
saves money in the new world. But
too many of them go back to their old
homes to live on their savings. Too
many persist in remaining Italian in
heart and soul, in habits and sym
pathies and ways of living, and, refuse
to cast their lot in this hemisphere to
the end of their days and become thor
ough Americans.
The Italian element, both in North
America and South America, is numer-
Gus and important. Too large a part
of it, however, is transitory. Immi-
grants from Ireland, Germany, Swe-
den and all the Scandinavian peoples
cross the Atlantic with the purpose of
staying permanently in this half of
the globe. But the passion for the old
scenes and the old, conditions appears
to be almost inextinguishable among
the descendants of the ancient Ro-
mans.
