Anson Phelps Stokes, Jr, is at pres ent more remarkable even than his elder brother. While he was still at Yale his great studiousness, his dig nifty under all circumstances, his regard for the opinions as well as for the feel ings of others his democratic tastes and above all, his marvellous executive ability were freely commented upon, and there was more than a whisper that when the Yale corporation should need a new president it would be un- necessary to look beyond Anson Phelps Stokes, Jr. After his graduation and while he was at the theological school, subsequent to a long tour of Europe, he was elected secretary of Yale uni versity. For a man of twenty-six this was the greatest sort of compliment. The position was held open for him until he had completed his theological course. He was ordained as minister in New Haven, where he is still assist ant rector of Trinity church, and then he assumed the duties of the secretary ship of Yale. MT. Stokes is about feet 8 inches in his stocking feet and is the very acme of dignity He is an excel lent talker, but a very much better l1s- tener, and his listening is often done to good effect as is demonstrated by his ability to distinguish between the worthy and the unworthy who are con- stantly appealing to him for assistance.
 J. Graham Phelps Stokes, taller and as dignified as his elder brother, had his life work decided for him by book and a hospital ambulance. The book was Bulwer's "Disowned,' the hero of which was a young man of wealthy parentage who was cast off because he elected to live among the poor people whose condition he sought to amelio- rate But, of course, Tolstoi did this very thing, too, and MT.

 The admitted adulteration of food for purposes either of economy or preser- vation has compelled the general gov ernment to take hand in order that legislation of practical value may be formulated. One of the food products the adulteration of which has raised the greatest protest IS butter. IL IS contended that the coloring matter used in this oleaginous indispensable is a menace to the delicate coating of the stomach. For the preservation of meat boric acid and formaldehyde are used. Both of these, it is asserted, are ene- mics of good digestion. Alum, one of the ingredients of the leavening powder of many bakers, is also claimed to be provocative of dyspepsia and it's myriad attendant evils. But these are not all the adulterants which the average hu- man stomach is asked to handle daily. The list is a long one and, besides the above list of chemicals, includes many other minerals employed by manufac- turers of proprietary articles of food.

the matter it would be as we'll to take it up in all it's branches, and pr. Hen ry w. Wiley, chief chemist of the ag- ricultural department at Washington, was accordingly instructed to get to the bottom of the entire subject of food adulteration.
 Dr: Wiley, like Barkis, "was willin',' for this had long been his pet hobby, but he suddenly realized that while. it was an absurdly simple matter to as- certain the extent of the adulteration of any given article of food, it was not so easy to determine the effect upon the human system of the daily absorption of unknown quantities of minerals pro portioned solely to the appetite and vagaries of taste of the individual At last he hit upon the plan of a free boarding house, the victims in which should agree beforehand to submit to any treatment the learned doctor might prescribe. Certainly, the doctor argued, there could be no risk in it for him; so he advertised for martyrs. Now comes the strange part of the story; the martyrs were forthcoming more than were needed The doctor se- lected dozen of them and started the poison brigade with six.

 First of all, the subjects were strip ped and weighed, for Uncle Sanl-theo- retically, at least-does nothing by guesswork. Then they were conducted to the dining room, where was spread what is known as the .'hygienic' table, During this fore period of about ten days they ate at this table food which had been demonstrated by analytical tests to be absolutely pure. The "obser- vation period" which is next on the list, lasts about ten days. Then it is that the physician in charge attempts to ascertain just the quantity of food necessary to keep each subject in nor- mai condition, special care being di- rected to the maintenance of the

 It would be natural for the nnanufac- turers to deny that their products are adulterated; but, knowing that the most elementary quantitative and quail itative analysis is able to determine just what and how. much of it is used in their goods, they wisely admit the soft Impeachment and proceed to "brazen it out" with the allegation that their adulterants are as innocuous as dernineralized water and as harm less as oxygen.

ent Anson Phelps Stokes, also bank CT, whose fortune beside that of his sire is as 2,000 candle power arc light beside an ordinary tallow dip.
 Up to this point it will be seen that, worthy as had been all the men of tlre Stokes family, their efforts had been confined to the accumulation of money, and the world had not been benefited by their living except indirectly through the medium of their oft sought advice in financial matters. But two of Anson Phelps Stokes four sons changed all that. The third, Anson Phelps Stokes, Jr., while student at Yale uni- versity determined to become an Epis- copalian minister, and the second J. Graham Phelps Stokes, influenced by the writings of we'll known students of sociological problems, decided that his life work should be the amelioration of the condition of the poor in the congest- ed districts of the large cities of the United States.
 These two young Stokeses are not merely millionaire's sons with fads; they are in dead earnest, and both have gone far enough to convince the world not only of their sincerity but also of their steadfastness of purpose. Nor are they dreamers. From the long line of financial giants from which they sprung it is not to be wondered that they have inherited good deal of ex- ecutive ability; not theoretical execu- tive ability either, but the kind that ''does things"
 It must not be assumed either that these young Stokeses have abandoned something of merely theoretical conse- quence, as the world regards such things. They have four sisters, two of whom are married. The first of them to be welded received a "dot' of $9, 600, ,000, while the nuptial gift from MT. and Mrs. Stokes to the second was $S,00o, 900. It is to be presumed that the remaining daughters will fare equally

stance. with the self evident proposi- tion that it has become physically inn possible to supply the demand for strictly fresh beef. The cattle must be fattened where there are facilities for doing it, and they must be siaugh- tered near the scene of the preparation for their sacrifice; otherwise they will lose many pounds in the long rides to the various markets and will, besides, arrive in such poor condition as to be almost unfit for food. So boric acid is employed to preserve the dressed beef.
 This acid is not dangerous in ordi- nary use, though scientific men have contended that if taken into the system

 maldehyde that it is one of the most effective preventives of decomposition
 the world has ever known, and this would undoubtedly be a valid argument if the subject under discussion were the human body after death, but inasmuch as Uncle Sam has a weakness for live citizens the statement of the beef packers did not influence him sufficient ly to induce him to keep his hands off. Instead he decided to open sort of ex- perimental boarding house in Washing ton that the matter might be intelli- gently tested. He further concluded
 that as he was going into one phase of
