Secretary Urey Woodson, of the
democratic national committee, in an
editorial in his paper, the Greensboro

take the democratic party has made
since 1874.
Mr.. Woodson was one of the original
Parker men in the United States and
bad charge of Parker's campaign in
Kentucky before the state convention.
He says:

BORIc ACID AND B0RAx
NOT GOOD AS FOOD.
Results of Trials on the "POisOn
Squad" Announced.

SQuauF
Washington, June 22.-Results OBJ
tanned from the experiments made by
the Department of Agriculture with a
view to ascertaining the effects Of
boric acid and borax as preservatives
in the human system are announced in
a report issued by the department.
The report embodies data obtained
from the prolonged tests made with
volunteer employees who constituted
the so-called diet kitchen or poison
squad" The report announces that
even in doses not exceeding a half
gram (seven and half grains) a day
these preservatives are prejudicial to
health when consumed for a long time.
There is but little apparent disturb
ance In the process of digestion or as
Sanitation. The administration of the
preservatives, the report says, tends
to diminish slightly the weight Of the
BODY.
The general conclusion is reached
that it is not advisable to use borax In
food articles intended for common and
continuous use. At all events, adds
the report the quantity and character
of the preservatives used should be
plainly marked.
