sENzoATEs AS FOOD PREsERvERs.

10 the Editor OF The tribune
Sir: note in your issue OF July 27 an article in
reference to the benzoate decision In reference TO
the subject. 1 beg to say that DR.. Wiley's report
the results of his Investigations regarding the
effect of the of benzoic acid and benzoates as
food preservatives upon digestion and health is
neither final nor conclusive. 1t simply expresses
the opinions of Dr. Wiley, and not the opinion of
the referee board recently appointed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt investigate the same substance.
AS the referee board is experimenting. the ques-
tion should certainly be held in allegiance until its
report is made public. II the referee board finds.
upon experimenting that benzoic acid deleterf-

as food preservatves, being deieterious TO the
human system. Wher the preservatives were fed
to the so-called poison squad In capsules. the
mental attitude of the squad would certainly have
some effect upon them. where it would not have
mad any effect If they were fed on food containing
the small amount necessary to preserve.
The first experiments made by DR.. Wiley
with borax and boric acid. After seven months
the men declared themselves to be In better phys

! test The best evidence. however. that boron
seryatives are innocuous is demonstrated IN the
health of the Englishmen. They have consumed
borated foods twenty-five years. and waxed fat
on the diet
That preservatives absolutely necessary is
proved by the enormous number of persons who
have been poisoned by ptomanes. Since the en-
forcement of the pure food law there have been in
the United States according to press dispatches.
9,S02 cases OF ptomaine poisoning. S3s of which
were fatal There undoubtedly have been more
than double this number which were not reported
In the press All such could absolutely be
prevented by the judicious of preservatives.

give about $500 a mile, or about S5 per cent
OF the average cost of building hard roads upon
these highways.
After ten years OF study of road building at
home and abroad the writer has reached the Hfol-
lowing definite conclusions
I. That IL to have good roads within

basis of one-half the gross sum upon the full road

the states. This plan would make available out

fcations approved by the United States govern
ment engineers.
4. That the initiative should be left with the
respective townships. road districts or parishes
these to furnish at least one-thlrd of the total
cost, with the state clothed with power to veto
any improvement if of insufficient Importance.
This power would probably be seldom IL ever used.
1t may be assumed If the road not a main
highway and needed. the people OF township
would not vote to build 1t when they had to raise
at least one-thrd Of the money required to do So

and meet the requirements placed upon 1t by its
wealth. position and its opportunity. good roads

.COLORED WOMAN FREED.
Self Defense Established in Case Of
Mary Jarrett Accused OF Intent
10 Murder.

Mary Jarrett, colored woman of
the town, charged with assault with
deadly weapon with intent to murder
Ella Branch, also colored, will not have
to stand trial on that charge. This
morning Judge Diehl rendered a deci-
sion in the case and found the woman
not guilty and ordered her discharged
and the bail released.
The hearing against the jarrett wom-
All and Kate speed an alleged accom-
plice, was held yesterday morning, The
Speed woman was discharged as the
testimony in the case did not in any
material way connect her with the
shooting. The court took the matter
under daviSement as to Mary Jarrett,
and this morning stated. in rendering
his decision that the woman was un-
doubtcdly justified in shooting as the
Branch woman had made threats of
murder against the defendant and the
latter had reason to believe the COM
plainant would carry out her threats.
The two women, on Aug. 3, had a row
over a dress. The testimony disclosed
the facts that the complainant made
an assault upon the Jarrett woman,
used the most vile language imasi
able and threatened to cut her throat.
The plea set up by Atty. Newton, couri-
sci for the accused, Was self defense,
and his point was sustained by judge
Diehl.

GROW HIGH. GRADE fruit.
Noted Fruit Grower Expresses High
Opinion OF Utah horticultural
Possibilities.

Stanchcliff Hale, son OF j. Fl. Hale,
the most extensive peachgrower of the
world, with large orchards in Con
necticut and Georgia. has been making
a tour Of the principal fruit growing
sections of the state with Prof. r. S.
Northrop. horticulturist at the state ag-
ricultural college, Logan. Mr.. Hale
came here specially to inspect an or
chard OF early Elberta peaches, grown
by DIR. Sumner Gleason at kaysville.
Prof Northrop met him at the Gea-
son orchard and took him to Logan
to visit tho Agricultural college, where
Mr.. Hale addressed the students en-
Enthusiastically on fruit growing. He was
then shown the splendid apple orchards
in Cache valley, and the peach orchards
in Brigham City. the Bear River valley,
Ogden and Davis county, and came to
Salt Lake Monday. He goes to Utah
county today to see the orchards there.
NJ When Mr. Hale came here he expect
ed to stay less than an hour. but be-
came so Interested that his visit has
been extended to nearly a week and Is
not through yet, He Is enthused with
the splendid possibilities Of fruit grow
ing in this state. Utah apples, he
thinks, beat anything no ever saw In
all his travels through the United
States. and We're he not tied down with
his interests in the east would be I
strongly tempted to engage in the fruit
growing industry In Utah. 1.-THE soil
and climate here" he says, ARE ideal
for fruit CRYING. The fruit trees are
large and free from the diseases which
orchardists IN other states must con
SANITY fight with. A man can't say
too much about Utah's advantages for
the fruit grower. The climate Is per-
feet. The soil Is deep and fertile, 1t
contains elements suited to tho nour-
ishing of orchards which growers in
the east must supply. Then you have
the water and are able to control It.
That Is a big thing. VI
Utah orchard owners should devote
their attention to high grade products.
Low grade fruit cannot be probably
grown here. Butswith your soil. your
climate and your water there Is no
excuse for growing anything but the
very best fruits that earth can pro-
duce. y 6 &.
