DESIRE OF MANUFACTURERS OF

Claim That the Employment of Ben
zoate of Soda Is Necessary
and Is Harmless.

Manufacturers of bulk food products are
bringing all the pressure they can to bear
on the department Of Agriculture to per-
NIT the continuance of the use of benZoate

department and spent several hours in at

sociates on the board that benzoate OF soda
was harmless and necessary Ingredient

They all claimed that il was impossible

used. Their request was for permission to
use one-tenth OF per cent of benzoate of
soda, as they claimed without this it was
impossible to ship bulk goods such as they
handled. Written opinions were submitted
from a number of chemists to the effect
that benzoate of soda was entirely harm
less. and the manufacturers asked that in
view of the divided opinion on the sub
ject they be allowed to use the quantity
mentioned till either the question of its
harmfulness was settled to their own salts

found for it.
DIR. Wiley has been experimenting on the
