DIR. WILEY YIELDS A POINT.
For Pure Food Bill win Make Con,
cession.

Washington, Feb. I'll Rather than
lose the pending pure food bill, Professor
III ~. Wiley, chemist Of The Department
of Agriculture, and the chief advocate
Of this legislation, would favor an
amendment excepting from the proyis-
ions Of the bill altogether. pickles, cat-
sup and Goldfish, and he win so suggest
to the House Committee. These are not
substantial articles OF food. and it will
do little hurt II they do carry borax and
other preseryatiyes, by comparison with
tile gain TO follow general legislation.
McCumbcr and Hepburn, the Senate
leaders on this bill, have proposed an
amendment 10 Senator Lodges amend
ment providing that where the preserva,
tive Is applied in such a way that II Il
necessarily removed mechanically, in
cooking or otherwise, the terms Of the
bill shall apply 70 such an article in
the state prepared for consumption.
Hepburn and McCumber agree to this,
as does Dr. Wiley, but they propose that
a clause b. added providing that the
wrapper containing such an article shall
give the name Of the application, and
the method of removing IT. Dr. Wiley
thinks nobody would pay much atten-
tion TO these directions with an article
possessing neither flavor nor OdoT, and
that it would be Just as well to except
Goldfish altogether, With these changes,
he believes the bill will 90 through both
houses and become law. The great thing
to be accomplished Il the breaking of
the drug habit, brought about In many
instances by the use Of preseryatives,
these put "a premium, be says. on care
lessness and filth. The present legislation
also aims particularly at artifcially col
ored jellies, at canned peas and corn
which have been treated with coal tar
products, and at articles which have been
kept in cold storage OF otherwise till
