FIGHT FOR PURE FOOD.

4 N his attempt to secure a high standard Of
y food products DR.. Harvey w. Wiley has
encountered much opposition and determined
effort has been made to have him ousted from
his position as the pure food expert of the Ag-
pcultural Department at Washington. And yet,
on the whole Dr. Wiley has rendered most ex-
celent service to the government.
Recently DR.. Wiley declared that benzoate OF
soda when used as preservative for fruits was
poisonous. A board of experts then considered
the natter reversed the decision of Dr. Wiley
and since then those who have hoped for a re-
Taxing of the pure food regulations have been
hunting for the scalp of Wiley.
1t is pointed out, however, that DR. Wiley has
never claimed that benzoate of soda is a quick
acting poison. In fact the contention OF the pure
food advocates all along has been that the danger
is in posons so slow in their effects that it is inn
possible to bring home to the offending manu-
facturer of foods his completely in the resulting
disease.
Dr. Wiley has experimental in this matter for
nine months and it is unfair that his judgment
should be overturned by brief inquiry made
by other experts, no matter how high their
standing may be. AT any rate, if there is di-
vision of opinion among experts on this subject
is it not the wiser course TO discard the chemi-
cal of which there may be the slightest objection
or question? A
AS matter 1f fact DIR. Wiley in his conten-
ton that benzoate is harmful is supported by
many eminent chemists among whom is DR.. II.
S. Blackmore, Of Washington, consulting chem

State DR. Blackmore says that benzoate of Soda
as a food preservative, has all the earmarks Of a
most dangerous substance and is likely to al

The views of Dr. Wiley are also upheld by the

EARNING AN EDUCATION.

TT ARD tines have affected some of the
4 = college students. Not for years has the
Yale Bureau of self help been so much pressed
with demands for assistance as during the last
few months. For not all young men seeking an ed
ucation in the colleges have rich parents paying
their bills and permitting them to enjoy ease AMI
comfort and those things which the outside
world too frequently secs in the student life.
A New Haven report says that remittances to
many of the students from their homes have
been less than formerly, and some of the young
men may be forced to postpone their educational
ambitions
The Yale Bureau has been supplying the
needy students with work around New Haven,
but of late the demand for such labor has fallen
off Recently an investigation was made to
learn how many Yale students were either wholly
or partly working their way" through college.
Answers were received from 564 young men,
about nine-tenths Of whom were entirely de-
pendent upon their own resources. These figures
show what a large percentage Of students are
paying their own expenses. The youths report
ing stated thht in round numbers they had earned
as students about 100000.
The students are, however, looking for new
avenues of employment and some of them are en-
gaging in house work between Rotations the
Japanese students especially, doing this kind of
labor One Yale professor has Japanese stu
dent employed as his butler.
During vacation the students work in various
occupations that will bring them the needed
dollar
These worthy young men who display the
spirit of ambitious young Americans take more
than their share of the college honors. They do
not lose standing among their fellows In fact
Professor Kitchel says Of them:
Every year students who are working
their way through college in consider
able numbers are elected to member
ship in the various class and other So
cieties They carry off far more than
their share of scholastic honors. In
the class of 1903 fifteen out of the nine
teen hghestappoCntm at graduation
fell to men who had received tuition
scholarships in the class of 1906 thirty
out of forty-seven; in the class of 1907
fifteen out N twenty-three. In the class
of 1908. of the thirty-one members of
Phi Beta Kappa, fifteen had received
tuition scholarships.

DELAWARE AT THE LAUNCHING.

+ ROM all reports that come from Newport
a News, the battleship Delaware was
launched with BETTING ceremony and pomp.
The State sent an official party thoroughly rep
resentative and dignifed limited to the number
of sixty-hve persons or Whereabouts by the New
port News Shipbuilding Company, but the great
mass of people, not in official life, but who had
a keen interest in the bestowa of the name of
Delaware upon the premier battleship of the
world, remained at home. They had no incen-
tive to 80 to Virginia and to wander aimessly
about the great expanse of shipyard just to see
the red hull OF naval Dreadnaught take 10
the water.
The Wilmington Board Of Trade was alive 10
the opportunity of bringing Delaware to the fore
by marshaling hundreds Of residents of the
State to attend the launching, but this was dis
sipated by the narrow policy of the shipbuilding
company of restricting the number of visitors it
would welcome formally.
1t would not have been much of a problem
for the shipbuding company to have erected a
special stand for Deawareans. Visitors from
this State, and we believe there would have been
hundreds OF them if a proper spirit had been
shown, would gladly have foregone the ceremony
of being entertained at a launching breakfast
They would have provided that hospitality for
themselves.
But the event is now over and Deaware's Of
fetal party left its good impression upon Nir-
ginia Judge James Pennewill, former Senator
Anthony Higgins, and the many other speakers
from this State furnished oratory that aroused
the admiration Of all their auditors and left no
doubt, that Delaware still possesses public men
of eoquence and ability to voice its virtues.
The fair sponsors, Miss Cahall, Miss dupont
and Miss Hazel, ofhciated with the charm char
acterstc of the young women Of this State, and
the dignihed bearingof Delawares Governor,
the judges, generals, colonies, Senators and 9TH
ers who made up the Delaware official party,
and the fair women who accompanied them,
evoked the encomiums of the orators of the
Southland. Delaware did as well as could be
expected under the circumstances.

The Legislature.

The Legislature.
Newark Ledger.
Members Of the Legislature are being
berated for doing so little. What more
can be done than has been done? The
business is not there. IT is an off
year for law-making. We believe the
members are workers and. are willing
70 hustle If there is cause to hustle,
but the work comes in slow. and. there
fore, the members have time to con-
slider all measures carefully, and each
act passed should be good.
There are several fairly important
acts before the body, and are receiving
due consideration In the committees.
It is impossible for the members Of
the General Assembly TO make good
showing when there is no material to
work on. One of the measures under
consideration is the telephone rates.
Right here the rate of express COM
panies should be considered. 1t is be-
lieved that, in many instances, the
charges on small packages are too
high. uniform rate should be
established, and it is hoped that some
member Of the General Assembly will
make inquiry into this business.
There should be no fault found with
our legislators. They are doing good
work. They are getting through the
work as fast as it comes. and there is
general good feeling between the
factions. 1t is limited, however that
this good feeling will soon end. The
act to repeal the voters assistant law

to be sharply drawn. However, as
this may be, it is hoped that the law
will be repealed, and II possible. give

spoonful OF borax dissolved In a pint

through the nostrils twice daily and
immediate relief is experienced. To
cure, a constitutional blood remedy
must be used. Catarrh and rheuma-
