Washington, Jan. 24.-Dr. w II.

istry of the department of agriculture,
reported today to the house committee
on agriculture the results of expert

human system of such drugs as boraN

said that the expulsion of these and
kindred drugs from the body Is per
formed almost entirely by the kidneys
and that he is satisfied the term of
American life would be heightened if
the use of such drugs in foods were
wholly discontinued. He said he was
convinced that kidney disease, so pre-
valcnt among Americans, is partly the
result Of constant introduction in the
system of such preserVatiVe substances
as benzoate of soda carried in foods.
Discussing sulpur dioXide and its in
furious effects, DR.. Wiley told the
committee of a discovery just made
by him that salt solution is perfect

Washington, Jan. 24.-Although the
urgent deficiency bill was technically
up for Consideration in the house Of
representatives today, not word per
tinent to the bill was spoken. Under
the privilege of general debate, several
members addressed the house on Il
variety of subjects, but the one which
attracted most attention was a criti-
csm by Mr. Hitchcock of Nebraska OF
the political forecast by General
Charles II. Grosvenor Of Ohio. The
debate brought to their feet numerous
democrats. who sprang to the de-
fense of Mr.. Bryan, while General
Keifer of Ohio, supported by several
other republicans, undertook to refute
all the arguments concerning MI.

REPORT NOT TAINTED
Civic Federation Investigators
Not Influenced by Subscribers.

Professor Parsons, an M. o. Member
of the Commission, Denies That Cor
poration Contributions ad Any In
fluence on Its Report - Resents
Newspaper Criticisms.
Professor Frank Parsons, president
of the National Municipal Ownership
league, was recently interviewed by a
representative of the Boston Herald
in regard to the testimony before the
public service commission in New
York to the effect that the Metropoli
tan Securities company had contribut-
ed $4,000 to the expenses of the COM
mission which studied the problem of
municipal ownership here and abroad.
The testimony before the commits
sion" said Mr P:;,'.ns, contained
nothing that in any way reflects on
either the Civic federation or the COM
mittce of investigation. The sensation
al elements presented by the press
were read into tie case by an errone-
Gus Interpretation of some of the facts
stated in the evidence in connection
with some remarks of August Belmont
in relation to the investigation.
a large part of the funds were con-
tributed by various corporations and
industrial interests. the Metropolitan
company among the number and Mr..
Belmont is quoted as saying that the
result of the investigation was very
satisfactory Some newspaper man
put those two facts together and con-
cluded that the corporations had got
what they expected and paid for.
'As a matter of fact. however Mr..
Eclmont's remark meant merely that
the work had been thoroughly done
and n valuable mass of facts brought
out How far wrong is the impression
that corporation contributions had any
influence on the character of the re-
suits may be seen from the fact that
the final resolutions of the commits
sion, summing up the investigation,
are signed by every municipal owner
ship member of the commission.
Another fact which has strong
bearing on the case is that the super
vision of the engineers and experts in
Great Britain and the disbursements
of all the funds across the water were
ntrusted to DR.. Milo Il Maltbe, now
member of the New York public
service commission and we'll known as
Il writer strongly favorable to munic-
ipal ownership.
The truth is that the idea of inves-
tigating municipal ownership took
form in the Civic federation as early
as 1900, or long before Mr.. Belmont
became president of the federation.
About half the funds. or over $40,-
COO was raised by scattered subscrip
tons from persons all over the coun-
try in amounts ranging from So up,
and the remainder of the fund was
contributed by large Industrial inter
csts or men connected with them.

supervision of n committee e five, on

"Charman Ingalls, of the committee

Big Four railroad, is one of the fairest
and most honorable men in the United
States, and the investigation from

Il shadow of influence from the corpO-

to the finance committee
in fact, the committee on inveStiga-
ton did now know where the money
came from nor who the contributors
were with a few tritling exceptions,

and the report was in type
Il wish to say further in all fairness
that while | personally DO not at all
approve of many things in the history
of Mr. Belmout's corporations there is
no question in my mind but that he
and the Civic federation have acted
with perfect fairness toward this COM
mission on public ownership.
The engineers and experts worked
in pairs, one of each pair representing
municipal ownership ana the other
representing private ownership. This
nearly doubled the cost. but resulted
in securing body of facts signed
by experts of the highest character
ana representing both sides of the
question. This gives the report a very
unique character and confers on the
statements of facts so agreed upon
degree of authority far beyond that
hich attaches to any previous inves-
tgatiOn"

Grouping Of Street Trees.

All who are engaged in the work of
cities or other communities deplore
the monotony necessary-or seemingly
advisable-in the economic disposition
of town sites. 1t would seem that the
making of straight streets and rectan-
gular lots is 50 thoroughly engraved
on the American mind that no amount
of argument can efface or change this
widespread custom. All authorities
seem agreed that but one sort of tree
is desirable, even permissible, on a
street. but where straight street lines
are dealt with some have adopted the
grouping of the trees rather than plant
ing single specimens at regular inter
walls

Medical Treatment at NIGHT.

Medical treatment almost wholly
confined to the daytime is thought by
DR.. Lauder, a French physician, to he
a serious mistake. Disease is most
active at night asthma. epilepsy and
other attacks coming then almost en-
tirely-an observations have shown
that medicine administered in the
night hours, or both night and day,
acts better and with greater effect
than an equal dose all given in the
daytime. 1t is explained that in the
nocturnal fasting state the boly alb

In many instances disease has resist
