Misbranding Foodstuffs.

Concerning the origin Of mlsbranding
foodstuffs and Of aauIteration DR.. Wiley
said 1t was all brought about by the COM
petitive system which obtains in the in
lustries OF the country. He cited numer-
Gus illustrations Of adulteration, such as
the grinding Of cocoanut shells and olive
pits into pepper: the one-time active in
dustry which grew up around the produc-
ton Of ,ten-year old whisky in one
minute by the mixture of cologne
spirits, accurately blended flavoring ex-
tracts and burnt sugar colorings
DR.. Wiley gave the results Of the inves-
tigation into the dstillation Of liquors.
and said that fully 90 per cent Of the
liquors produced and sold under the
present bottled in bond act is pure and
all of the WHISTLES and liquors which bear
the United States stamp are sold in pack
ages accurately labeled as to the quanti-
ties they contain.
as the most valuable result of all of his
labors 1.-The great moral uplift which he
believed is being felt more and more
throughout the country. because Of the
honesty and fair dealing which has been
injected into the production and sale OF
food products of all kinds.
Il shall contend as long as / live and
have to do with the administration of the
pure food and drug laws" he continued.
that the enactments shall be interpreted
of anything to an article of food to in
crease its bulk: to the addition of any
thing but the fundamental preservatives,
and to the addition Of any substances to
change the color of food or drink and
make them appear what they are not.
Stands for the Consumer.
Il stand for the consumer and / believe
that nothing should 60 into food but food
And you will see this principle prevail.
because it is ethical. 1t is moral, it is
justice. 1 am willing to retire from active
life, l do not know that will do so, bu,
l would be willing to leave my work
with the American people. 1 have not
now and never have had desire to send
any one to Jail. and the whole idea OF
punishment of the few benighted manu-
facturers who still cling to the idea tina,
1t is necessary to the conduct of their
business to use articles which are pro-
hibted by our law is repugnant to me.
Il believe the whole problem is working
itself out along rational lines, and the
prevailing sentiment among the people
which leads them to expect and to de-
mand purity in their food stuffs will
carry the reform to q successful con-
clusiOn.'

Discusses Adulterants.

Il approached the subject with a broad
mind" said the speaker. land at that
time L believe none of the adulterants
which were being used were really harm
full in themselves when used moderately.
I thought this of borax. which was to
be the subject of my first investigation
into preservatives. but Ave different tests
extending over the greater part Of one
year, offered the most convincing proof
that bOrax. even in the smallest quantity.
Is exceedingly harmful to the human sys-
tenn. The packers were a unit in declar-
ing that they must Use bOrax: that the
entire industry would be ruined IL the
use OF this preservative were prohibited
Now they are using none of 1t and the
meat 10 carried to it's destination in better
condition than ever before. Similarly
when manufacturers say that they must
use benzoate Of soda in their ketchups
and similar products. they are just as
in advocating the use of borax. but ben,
and manufacturing will go on just the
same. No one will drop out of business"
DR.. Wiley said when he first took up his
work the only statutes which had been
enacted by Congress were q pure drug
act and an act prohibiting the adultera-
ton OF tea. The work of investigation in
foodstuffs he said. is now practically
and he referred to the bulletin
of the bureau of chemistry. which has
now reached a total Of eleven volumes
or nearly $500 pages. and which contains
the results of all Of his labOrs and of the
la Dor Of his assistants

But the liquor he slipped at these

HAPPENINGS IN IOWA.
News Of a Week Throughout
the State.
BEATEN up BY A STRANGER
Attorney r. H. Dosh Of Stuart Sc
riously Injured in Fight With
Rich Lumberman.

As result of the assault made
upon Attorney R. H. Dosh of Stuart,
Ia, by Carl l.. Clemmons, a rich lum-
herman of Snohomish, Wash, in the
Office of the attorney general at ths
state house and later on the
street at Des Moines, the vic
tim now lies in a Critical con-
dition at hospital and his assailant
is held under bonds to await develop
ments. The two men met by acct
dent in the ante room of the attorney
generals office, where both had gone
OH business. They engaged in dis
cusslon, then went Into the corridor,
where Clemmons assaulted Dosh.
Tho two men left the state house
together and on the street Clemmons
again attacked Dosh, this time with
such fierceness that Dosh was felled
and his skull badly injured on the
edge Of the curbing. They were near
a Doctors Office and Glemmons car
ried his victim upstairs, where ne was
cared for until he could be removed to
a hospital.
Neither Clemmons nor Dosh would
explain the mystery, except that Glenn
mems said there was an old grudge
between them, Dosb verifying that
statement. Adding to the mystery Of
Commons conduct is the fact that on
his arrival here from the coast two
days ago he registered the name Of
Mrs Harriet j.. Clemmons, though his
wife was not with him. He says he
cannot explain this except that 1t was
foolish joke.
It Is said that Clemmons and Dosh
never met each pther before and that
Clemmons recognized Dosh through
the pronunciation of Dosh's name by
a clerk in the attorney generals Of
flce. 1t is said that Mrs. Clemmons
and Dosh were students at Simpson
college, Indianola, twelve years ago.
A garter with a pretty silk ribbon
and frat" engraved buckle, is said to
have been the cause of the assault.
The garter was given by Dosh to Mrs
Clemmons twelve or fifteen years ago
according to old friends and class
mates of the two, while they were
students at Simpson college, Indianola

Firemen on Theater Stage When Blaze

Few Of the happy. laughing throng
present at the production of 1.-THE
Flower of the Ranch" at Fort DoRge
by Joseph e. Howard and Mabel Bar
rison, realized until after the close of
the show that a terrible accident prob
ably was averted by the forethought
of Mayor Duncome and the prompt ac-
ton Of members of the fire depart
ment he ordered stationed on the
stage and in the body of the house.
During the afternoon 1t became ap-
parent the seat sale would break the
records of the house, and Manager
Dermen requested the privilege of
placing a number OF chairs in the va
cant spaces In the house. This was
granted on condition that not less
than two members of the regular fire
department were stationed on the
stage with chemical apparatus, and
one in the body of the house during
the play.
Scarcely had the curtain raised for
the first act when fuse blew out and
the scenery of the company was ignit-
ed. The heavy drop curtain was
lowered and the blaze was hidden
from the sight Of the audience. Not
one of the spectators knew what was
the trouble. All remained seated, and
thus panic in which many might
have been killed and MANNED was
averted. The blaze was soon extin-
guished with the chemical apparatus,
the damage being nominal.
