Food Expert Wiley Deems Refrig-
Grated Meat Unsafe.

DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, Uncle Sans wiz
ard in chemistry, believes that refrigerat-
ed meat is unsafe. Meat and other foods,
if appearances are to be accepted, may be
kept In cold storage for long periods with
out any apparent degradation in their
nutritive value or quality. But between
the time they are removed form the re-
frigerator and the time that they are
prepared for eating, ptomaine or alkaloid-
al bodies may develop that would make
them fatal If taken into the human stom-
ach. The meat, poultry. game -es'a other
articles that have been in DR.. Wiley's ice
house for the last two years will not
therefore be fed to the poison squad.
Their condition will be tested by the chief
chemist and his assistants in other ways.

the first instance the tissues of the meat
were carefully measured and have sinte
been remeasured at frequent intervaf
Every change in texture has beeen care

final examination of the refrigerated foods

The Prolongation of Life.

The centuries-long search for the means
Of securing perpetual, or at least extend
ed youth, is still being prosecuted by the
scientists. DIR. Moutier of Paris, studying
the rigidity of the arteries, which Is
Characteristic of advanced life, has by
specially constructed electrical apparatus
been able to reduce the increased pres
sure of the blood which accompanies the
arterial changes and thus restore normal
conditions, which continue permanently.
The same treatment has also been suc-
cessfully used in the treatment of patients
affected with neurasthenia.
Ellie Metchinkof, Pasteur's successor In
the famous Pasteur Institute at Paris, In
a book entitled, "The Prolongation of
Life" published by G.. P Putnam's Sons,
argues that much of the shortening of life
and the pain of old age Is due to =
poisoning of the tissues through putre-
faction of the intestinal tract, which may
be counteracted by certain acids, chiefly
that existing in sour milk, in confirmation
Of which he instances the long life Of
