The National tribune., 1907-10-24


he reviewed the past friendly relations
Of the two countries and assured us of
the friendliness of his countrymen, was
one of the most eloquent / have ever
heard Coming from a man of his au-
thority, it had the same weight as if
coming from Tokyo. His sincerity could
not be doubted"
Now, do you believe it? That Repre-
sentative Nicholas Longworth, just be-
cause he is the son-in-law of his father
in-law, can be elected to the United
States Senate to succeed Senator Fora
ker? That is what Francis b. James.
a Cincinnati attorney, thinks.
Il do not think that Mr.. Longworth
is candidate in any sense at the pres
ent time, but if at any time the re-elec-
ton of Mr.. Foraker should look dubi-
Gus he might be natural compromise
candidate. He has always been an or
ganization man, now stands close to the
centers of Taft influence and has not
made enemies. Should Representative
Burton succeed in defeating Tom John
son for the Cleveland Mayoralty he
would become a much greater power in
the State in a political way, but would be
much more likely to succeed Dick than
Foraker. 1t is beginning to be generally
believed that Mr.. Burton will be sue
cessfui in Cleveland, because the people
of that city are looking upon johnson
more and more as buffer"
He is going to try it on the dog this
time, DR.. Wiley is. When he began his
series of experiments with cold-storage
food products, about two years ago, Dr.
Wiley was informed by a certain refrig-
Grating concern in Cleveland that it had
n side of beef which had been on the
ice for more than IL years. DIR. Wiley
then secured this rare specimen of cold.
storage beef for his experiment, but he
will feed the meat to the Department of
Agriculture dog.
When the side of beef was secured
by DR.. Wiley it was carefully tested
The tissues of the meat were carefully
measured, and they have since been re-
measured at frequent intervals Every
change in texture has been fully noted.
Nor will the poison squad be fed any
of the other foods. such as poultry,
game and eggs, which have been in DIR.
Wiley's ice house for the last two years.
The Chief Chemist and his assistants
will test the value of these foods in
other ways.
The foods will be tested by Dr. Wiley
and his assistants, and their odor will
also serve as guide in determining
whether they are wholesome and nutri-
tious.
pearances alone, foods may be kept in
cold storage for long periods without
losing anything in nutritive value, but
between the time they are removed from
the ice and the time they are prepared
for the table ptomaine or alkaIoidal
bodies may develop which might make
the food fatal to the human stomach.
"Picatinny Arsenal will hereafter be
the designation of the ordnance estab-
lishment which has heretofore been
known as the United States Powder
Depot, Dover. n. j. The new name is
taken from a neighboring lake and
mountain and is considered more ap-
plicable to the place, as Dover is some
four miles from the depot. The new
Army powder factory is being erected
at the arsenal, and when this is COM
pleted the place will be of considerable
importance.
Mrs. L. H. Letter. who has been seri-
ously i'll for a long time in Paris, where
all the children were summoned to her
side, is now recovering. 1t is stated
that she will return to Washington for
the season. and will again open the
Letter mansion and entertain as of old.
