property was in litigation and she would
have to wait.

his flight from Tabriz to the suburban

revolutionists, who are now in full posses

dictionaries who had taken refuge In the
Russian bank and the Russian consul,

consuls country village few miles out
side the city, which is being guarded by
a large detachment of Cossacks.
The casualties resulting from the re-

the troops and revolutionaries were slight
owing to the poor quality of guns and
projectiles.
Seditious gatherings are again being
held in the mosques, where crowds are
harangued by revolutionary dervishes.

POISON BAN ON Preventative
BENZoIC ACID AND BENZoATE
OF SODA HARMFUL.
DR.. Wiley Pronounces Against Use
of Chemicals Extensively Used
in Manufacture of Food.

One remarkable conclusion DR.. Wiley
has reached from the study OF the effect
of foods on his poison squad and announc-i
ed by him today is that the presence OF
benzoic acids and benzoate Of soda in
things to eat is harmful.
This is conclusion much opposed to the /,
accepted ideas. AS the chemicals he now
bans are used in every article of preserves
and some other foods the decision Is Of
importance to manufacturers and house.
keepers.
According to DR.. Wiley the chemicals
preserves. catsup, mincemeat. ETC.. every
manufacturer Of these articles using the !
materials as a preventative The use of
the condemned chemicals has been de-
Tended on the ground that they appear in
large proportions In natural food products.
Cranberries contain large quantity OF
benzoic acids.
Manufacturers Given Time.
The announcement of the opinion has
beeen held back for same time. Many
manufacturers and others are affected. |
Ample time has been given to the indus
tries in which to experiment with less OBJ
jectionable preservatives.
The bureau OF chemistry has also
found in connection with the benzoic :
tests that there Is not single article OF
food which has heretofore been pre- I
served with this material that cannot be
preserved and offered to the consumer in
perfect condition without the aid OF any
chemical preservative. This has been
completely demonstrated in many in
stances.
DR.. Wiley's Opinion.
The bureau of chemistry publishing
the facts broadcast. DR.. .ley's own
words in this connection are:
1.-The use Of benzoate of soda and BEN
zoic acid is not without danger, and its
effects are~ always injurious or tend to
injury" 'l-
1t is DR.. Wiley's opinion that the great
er care which is necessary in manufac-
turing food products without the aid OF
benzoate of soda or benzoic acid Will
place the industries interested on a better
plane and secure for their products .

The recent remarkable achievement
of successfully Sending a wireless
message from the fbattleship feet in
the far Pacific to the Pensacola re-
ceiving station, as told in The Jour
nal at the time, has attracted wide
attention, for it was the greatest
triumph of wireless telegraphy up to
date. A copy of the Philadelphia
Telegraph just received, has this to
say on the subject, which brings Pen
sacola into the foreground, under the
caption of Busy Pensacola in a
very pleasant way:
For the second time lately the
world has been informed with most
surprising promptness OF matters OF
public interest through the Pensacola,
Florida. station for the wireless tele-
graph. The Navy Department heard
unexpected news Of the fleet through
that medium the other day, the mes
sage having crossed the Gulf OF Mexi-
co, the state of Texas, part of Mexl-
co and several hundred miles OF
ocean: while a recent message re-
ceiyed there may have gone nearly
around the world to arrive. Whatever
there is doing in the wireless mes
sage line. whether headed originally
for Pensacola or not, seems to get
there just the same and the omcers
of that station can truthfully say now,
when asked how they know OF this
or that new fact, lit is in the air.
