eENzOATE OF SODA DECLARED
TO BE A GOOD THING

Denver, Colo, Aug. 27.-Speaking
oil the results of experiments made by
administering quantities of .benzoate
of soda into the food given TO six
healthy young men for periods respec-
lively Of two months and one month.
Dr. Russell H. Chlttenden. OF New
Haven, Conn. member of the referee
hoard, saiG that tmlee-tenths of a
gram was administered daily to each
subject during the two months per.
iod. In the one month experiment
each man received per day during the
first week. slX-tenths gram. second
week. one gram; third week. two
grams; fourth week. four grams.
Surely this administration. when
accompanied by gain of body weight.
and without loss Of the power to d.
gest and absorb the protein and fat
Of the daily food must be taken as
evidence that sodium beuzoare In the
dose administered is not seriously det-
trimental to health" said DR.. Chitten-
den.
From our experiments only one
logical conclusion seems possible.
viz: that benzoate in small and large
doses up to four grams per day is
without deleterious effect upon the
human system. | believe the evidence
warrants the opinion that sodium ben
Zoatc Is no more harmful than corre-
spending amounts OF common SAT-.
Certainly, huchleberUies, cranberries.
plums. pruneS and other related fruits
contain appreclable amounts of ben
2oate. In other words. the eating OF
a small quantity OF huckleberrlee.
raSpberrles or kindred berries Is ac-
companled by the taking into the sys-
tenn OF more benzoate than In the ad-
ministraton of three-tenths OF a gram
of sodium OF benzoate In the light
of our experiments, il is difficult to
see why benzoate in moderate amounts
should be considered any more mimi
cal to health than such a salt as sod
ium chloride"

MECHANICS LIEN CASE IS
DECIDED BY SUPREME COURT
Passes Upon an Action From the Sec
ond District

Chief Justice Straup Of the supreme
court. in an opinion handed down
Thursday in tho case OF the Volker-
Scowcroft Lumber company and Hal
yorsen Bros. against Mary Flinders
Vance and Irving Peterson, con
tractor. upon whom service was not
made, discusses at length the differ.
ent effects OF a mechanics lien as
against homestead exemption rights,
Only small amount. S179.I5. is In

Bros from Judge J. A. Howells di-
vision in the second district court.
giving them a personal judgment In
stead of a mechanics lien against
Mrs. Vance'S property, the court says.
is not well taken. but the case Is sent
back for more evidence as to wheth-
er Mrs. Vance is entitled TO home
stead exemption. Justice Straup's as
sociates concurring.
The lumber company set up a me-
chanic'S lien and sued for $57577. for
materials furnished for Mrs. Vance's
house and Halvorsen Bros, subcon-
tractors, came in with a demand for
$l7975 Mrs. Vance's demurrer. TO
the general effect that she had two
children and was the head Of a house,
hold and this was her homestead, Civ
ing her a right TO exemption, was
overruled and judgment entered as de-
manded Mrs. Vance appealed and
the appeal was sustained. The second
trial resulted in a dismissal of the
demand for a mechanics lien on the
property. the plaintiffs setting up that
adjoining property owned by Mrs.
Vance. which she subsequently sold
to her son. was her homestead. and
that she was not entitled to home
stead exemption upon the other prop
erty.
The supreme court says the records
do not show whether the adjoining
property was Mrs. Vances homestead
or not; neither is there anything to
show whether the combined value of
the two properties exceeded the 81 250
exemption. Mrs. Vance claimed. II it
does not, the plaintiffs cannot collect.
incidentally the court takes a slap
at the way the case has been han
died by the lower court The issues
in some respects were loosely present.
ed and the evidence bearing upon
them is meageT and indefinite. and the
findings by the court are incomplete
and insuGiciently responsive TO the
issues. and In some particulars are
not responsive 10 the evidence, the
higher court says.
To obviate another appeal, the su-
preme court advises the lower court
TO ascertain the intent and purpose
of a stipulation found In the record
although no assignment Is made with
respect thereto.

other changes so on which in the
minds of a great many consumers i'm

The English metropolis is the mart Of

Rome is a city OF antiquity, yet

Yet the Judge is glad to get back TO
