HARMFUL DRUGS.
Injurious Food Preservatives Shown
Up by Or. Wiley.

Washington. Jan. 24.-Dr II. ".
Wiley, chief of the bureau of chemis-
try OF the department of agriculture,
reported today to the House commit
tee on agriculture the results of eX-
pcriments conducted by the bureau
to determine the poisonous effect on
the human system of such drugs as
bOrax, benzoic acid. benZoate of soda,
sulphate of copper, sulphur dioxide
and satellite acid when contained in
food stuffs. DR.. Wiley said that the
expulsion of those and kindred drugs
from the body is performed 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 discon-
tinued He said he was convinced that
kidney diseases. so prevalent among
Americans, is partly the result of
constant introduction into the system
of such preservative substances as
benzoate of soda carried in foods.
Discussing sulphur dioxide and its
effect, DR.. Wiley told the committee
of discovery just made by him that
salt solution is u perfect substitute for
sulphur in the whitening and drying
of fruit He exhibited samples of ap-
pies dried experinentaliy by the bu-
reau. The sulphured fruit was mot so
white or tender as the salt-cured
The committee was informed by DR..
Wiley of plans to teach the farmers
of the United States to make dena-
tured alcohol. Next August he Will
erect still at the bureau of chenlis-
try and operate it himself for two or

alcohol from fruit and vegetables He
has invited the agricultural college of

of St. Joseph. the patron saint of the
Pope.
Other pilgrimages have been organ

England, and, now that the ban is
sued by the Pope against pilgrimages
because of the recent anti-clerical wave
i'll It:lly has been lifted, they are as
sured Of success. The Pope himself will
celebrate a solemn Pontifical mass in
st. Peters church on the day which

RULES FOR GOOD DIGESTION.
A Simple Way to Prevent and Cure
Stomach Trouble.

People do not want advice as to
their bad habits, but something that
will enable them to continue with
immunity.
The sufferer from indigestion and
stomach weakness does not want q
friend to say: Eat slowly and chew
your food thoroughly"
AS the majority of people have al
ready SO abused the delicate stomach
that they suffer with distress after
eating, fiatulence, headaches, coated
tongue, spots before the eyes and the
many other symptoms Of indigestion,
it is necessary for them to use
Mi-o-na. the only remedy that will
strengthen the muscular walls Of the
stomach and increase the flow of
gastric juices so that indigestion will
be cured.
Mi-o-ra is not a mere aid to diges-
tiontaken after meals, but tablet
beforemeals, putting the whole diges-
tive system in such shape that it can
care fer all the food that is eaten
without pain or distress.
In this way the digestive organs are
built up so that they are soon able to
take care of the food without any
artificial aid, and the use of medicine
can be discontinued.
Bowditch, Webster & Co. give an
absolute guarantee with every 50-cent
box to refund the money unless
Mi-o-na does all that is claimed for it.
A guarantee like this must inspire
your confidence in the remedy.

GUARDED NIGHT AND DAY.
Six Armed Men Watch Over Mrs.
Mary 3. Eddy In Her New Home.

Boston, Jan. 26.-Guarded by the ut
most secrecy and with every detail OF
the journey shrouded in the deepest
mystery, Mrs. Mary Baker q. EDDY,
founded and head Of the Christian
Science church, was removed by
special train today with all her house.
hold following and accompanied by
many other prominent Christian
Scientists, from Pleasantview in Con-
cord, \. H., where she has lived for
10 years, to a new home in the Chest
nut Hill region Of Brookline, when
has recently been rebuilt at the ex-
pense of over 100000 There she will
reside for the remainder Of her days.
The coming was unheralded and
only few of the leading Christian
Scientists who We're of the party today
had been made aware Of the change.
Preceded by pilot engine. the special
train of three cars left Concord az :
O'Clock and proceeded over three rail-
roads by a circuitous route TO the
Chestnut Hill station on the Boston &
Albany road In the rear of the train,
to guard against collision, trailed a
third engine.
Arriving in Brookline at 5 o'clock,
the party was taken to the late a.
Ashton Lawrence estate, one of the
most beautiful in Brookline.
A most unusual scene attended the
arrival of the special train at Chest
nut Hill station. There were seven
closed carriages to meet and convey
the party to the Lawrence estate. In
the smallest and least conspicuous Of
all was placed Mrs. Eddy, Calvin A.
Frye, her secretary. and man SER
want.
The Lawrence home was reached at
just $50 o'clock. One by one the men
and women of the party alighted and
gathering about the massive porch at
the front entrance stood in two rows
on either side, extending the line even
into the house from the carriage steps
Then came Mrs Eddy's carriage. CAL
vim a. Frye was the first to leave the
carriage and following him came the
servant Leaning back into the car
riage, the man, powerful in limb, gath
cred up the frail form of Mrs. Eddy
and carried her gently up the steps in
his arms through the long line of wait
ing people who murmured softly as
she passed, and took her up two flights
of stairs and left her in what will be
her own private room on the front side
of the house.
Calvin A. Frye was closely pressed
by number of newspaper men and
others. Absolutely refusing to give any
names Of those in the party or to
make any statement he turned to six
tall. powerful men. who stood near
him and in stern tones ordered that
every person be at once put off the
grounds. He then entered the house
and his orders were obeyed without
delay.
Six men remained on guard through
the night and tomorrow six others will
take their place for the day. Within a
week permits will be issued by the
Brookline police for the men to carry
arms and it is believed the watch of
six at night and six at day will be
continued at the home.
