a New Lease of Life

IF in the course of human events and under the benign influence oi the new pure food law the people of the United States may eat and drink and be merry, giving no thought to the horrible probability of having taken into their systems various poi sonous substances In their food and drink, the one man chiefly to be thank ed for that delightful consummation Is pr. Harvey Washington Wiley. Ofi- cially Dr. Wiley is chief of the bureau of chemistry in the department of ag- riculture; unofiicIally he may be called commander in chief of the allied and amalgamated armies of the pure food crusade in America.
 For twenty years Dr. Wiley has had . hobby and ridden 1t hard. At times this Pegasus of his has leaped over ap-
 palling precipices of human prejudice and tracked wearily through marshes of misunderstanding, but the doctor has ridden hls hobby to new lease of life rather than to death, for today he appears to have arrived very near the shining portals of success-the proven ti0n by federal law of the use of poi sonous substances as preservatives or colorings for food and drink, that is Dr. Wiley's hobby. By the passage of the measure known as the pure food law last June congress finally approved the efforts of Dr. Wiley and the thou sands of other earnest workers in the cause of preserving the human stom- ach from premature decline.
 Somewhat of a Hmorist.
 Dr. Wiley takes great joy in his work. Why not? It is something worth while to devote ones life to the protection of the health of S0OOO,OOO people. It is provocative of joy to sue ceed in inducing the enactment of legal measures calculated to tone up the null titudinous American stomach, casting out such devils as dyspepsia, indiges- tion, typhoid and other Ills too nurner- ous to mention. Among his intimate friends the good Dr. Wiley is known as something of humorlst, and this quality sometimes displays itself upon public occasions when he discusses his hobby. Once pr. Wiley was dispens. ing his chemical wisdom before the committee on agriculture of the house of representatives when . rural con gsessman scornfully asked the distin- guished chemist to dehne scientific Qkricultufist. .aof T
 "A scientific agriculturist" replied the doctor, 'ls a gentleman in the em- ploy of the government who can make g grow on an appropriation bill where only $1 grew before"
 Had not Dr. Wiley possessed keen appreciation of humor he could not have run the gantlet of the joke mak- CTS during the four years of his poison squad" boarding house In Washington and come forth fat and jolly, his use fulness unimpaired. If be had been one of those solemn and serious sa-

of young men various kinds of food preserved or colored with the drugs employed by manufacturers he deduc- ed scientific facts which, embodied in bis official reports, had much weight In securing the pur0foo law. Incidents of Food Reform. Since Dr. Wiley first made himself a popular national figure by thus test ing the actual results of the eating of drugged food and boiling those re- suits down to a scientific certainty many events of importance in the mat ter of food reform have taken place in the United States. Quite recently we have had Upton Slnclairs expose of packing house horrors in The Jun gle," followed by the passage of the meat inspection law, which requires that after Oct. 1 the manufacturers of canned meats, hams and other pack ing house products on their labels must call spade spade and not de- ceive the public by sending out canned veal or pork with picture of spring chicken on the label.
 Dr. Wiley's work has dissipated sew eral misconceptions. For instance, he has shown that 1t is not necessarily the food adulterants, but the preservatives and colorings. which do the damage to the human stomach. The fact that ire quently we buy and eat something sold under a certain name which is really something else in whole or in part be- cause that something else is cheaper for the manufacturer than the thing he pretends to sell Is disgusting. to be sure, but unless it looks like what we intend to buy we do not buy 1t, and right there is where the willy manufac- turer gets in his devilish work. He colors 1t with anlline or coal tar dyes to make 1t look like the real thing, and that coloring matter does the damage. For like purpose of deception certain drugs called preservatives are used. These serve to impress the innocent purchaser with the notion that he is buying wholesome meat, for instance when as a matter of fact the stun would be putrid but for the "embalm- ing fluid" 1t contains.
 Whisky 10 Five Minutes.
 Dr. Wiley has stirred up not only those who eat food. but those who drink alcoholic liquors. One evening in. Washington he was entertaining Q party of friends, who began to discuss their favorite brands of whisky. Scotch whisky seemed to be the most popular.
