CHEMISTS TO MAKE
TESTS OF HUMANS
WhoIesomeness Of Benzoate of Soda
To Be Determined.

Washington, June 90 Arrange
ments are being made for a staff of
men to assist the Board of Chemists
nominated by the President to ascer-
tain the wholesomeness of benzoate of
soda, sulphur dioxfde, saccharine and
other substances. The board, as al
ready known, is working first on the
question of benzoate of soda, and it
has now decided to adopt the method
as was pursued by DR.. Wiley in his
study of the same subject. This is the
so-called poison squad" plan. Feed
ing tables are being established in a
number of places, for it is deemed
wise to have duplicate experiments go
ing on simultaneously in order to
eliminate possibilities of error so far
as possible.
