ther decay arrested by the use OF
chemical preservatives. In his report
to the Department of Agriculture, Food
Inspector A. w. Biting, who spent an
entire summer experimenting and in
vestigating ketchup gave it as his con-
clusion that:
Sodium benzoate, even when used
in the proportion of one tenth Of one
percent, is not always effective, and
has an injurious effect upon the living
matter Of the mods, shown by the dis
tortion and swelling of the filaments,
which are filled with a coarse, granu-
lar protoplasm containing much fat"
In his experiments DR.. Biting used
benzoate of soda in amounts ranging
from one tenth o fone percent to two
percent, to determine the amount nee
essary to prevent spoilage of ketchup
There was no development Of mold in
the tomato gelatin containing one or
two percent sodium benzoate; a re-
tarded development was noticed I'm that
containing 0.5 percent land the growth
when OIL percent was used was nearly
normal" Continuing he reported that
"the results indicated that in using
benZOate as a preServative there is un-
certainty as to results, even when us

tives in food-stuffs by such organiza-
tlons as the American Medical asso-
citation, the Public Health league. the
National Association of Dairy and Food
commissioners, the Bureau of Chemis-
| try of the Department of Agriculture,
and the other scientific associations
and government and state bureaus
having to do with questions affecting
the public health. 1t is somewhat sur
prising, however that the borax trust
should father the proposition that ben
zoate of soda when used in preserving
ketchup and similar continental foods
prevents ptomaine poisoning
The word "ptomaine" is fearsome and
fascinating largely because of the po-
pular ignorance of what it means and
thus the charge that ptomaines may ex
list in continental foods prepared with
out benzoate of soda appeals to the un-
educated ear and mind. In the case of
the educated this plea for preservatives
IS immedilte.y rejected because of the
knowledge that ptomaines do not ex-
ist in vegetable products and therefore
there can be no case of ptomaine pois-
oning from ketchup or any other con-
dimental food whether prepared with or
without chemicals. Ptomaines exists
only in meats and fish which are de-
caying and it is particularly in fish
that the most virile and deadly pto-
maines are found They never appear
in vegetabe products, where decay is
indicated by bacteria instead of bacil
Ii. Such decomposition is familiar to
every housewife in the mold which
sometimes appears on her preserves
when the air has not been wholly ex-
Guided
If ptomaines existed in ketchup ben
zoate Of soda might be effective in kill
ing them off, for it's active principle
benzoic acid, is a successful preventa-
tive of decay in the case of flesh. To
the benzoic acid of the ancient Egyp-
tians, distilled from aromatic gums,
our museums owe to mummified bodies
of distinguished persons who flourish
ed some 1000 or 5000 years ago. But
aside from the fact that the benzoic
acid of the Egyptians was quite a diff
ferent substance from the benZoic acid
of commerce today, which is obtained
! synthetica,ly from coal-tar or from
another source even more obnoxious,
no one would care to dine on mummi-
fled meat and few are satisfied with
| mummified vegetable foods.
A careful investigation conducted by
the government however, dsproves not
only the claim that benzoate of soda
prevents ptomaine poisoning in ketch-
up, jellies, jams, ETC., where ptomaines
no not exist, but also that it does not
destroy the bacteria of vegetable orr
gin, but merely arrests decay. In 9TH
} er words, partially decayed vegetables

PROPOSED SCHOOL LAW
Old Laws Must Pass Away. This is
A Part Of the Proposed Law

Shall the rural school system of
Iowa be revised and reorganized in
substantial accord with the recon-
mendation of the estate Education
Commission" which has spent the
last year in working out new plan
for the management of rural schools?
Here are few of the new REQUIRE
ments: All of the existing school
laws are repealed and complete new
body enacted.
A State Board of Education con.
slstlng of seven members is appointed
who shall meet three times annually.
and act as Board of Examiners for all
licenses to teach classify and inspect
all schools, libraries, and higher in
stitutions of learning: shall appoint
state supervisor of schools at $4,000 and
travelling expenses and who shall be
under direct supervision of State
Superintendent. They may appoint
assistant superintendent whose
salaries and expenses shall not ex-
coed $4,000 in any one year. The
state board shall audit all school
accounts with the State Treasurer:
shall employ persons to examine
papers and have charge of the state
certificate law. They shall be sole
judges or the qualifications of all
teachers; shall prepare lists for exam
ination. The state superintendent
shall be charged by general supervi-
sion of all the schools in the state etc.
It's a new method Matched in q
fertile brain and surrounded by many
obstacles. We thank Hon. John C.
Bonwell for copy of the bill in It's
embrio state.

Roosevelt-iSn1

The following sentence from Presi-
dent elect Taft's Washington day
address is worthy of preservation:
"The mercantile spirit, the effect of
luxurious living, the greed of tinan-
cial power, the inertia produced by
present comfort. all have tendency
to bind US to abuses and evils, that
creep into our business governmental
and social life, and it needs some
great, strong, courageous spirit to
paint, not in too delicate colors and
with no fear of hurting peoples feel
ings, the truth, and to stir up the
people to demand in tones that cam
not be denied reform of the abuses.
The president elect may not have
had directly in mind, but the service
of Roosevelt could not be better set
forth in one sentence. But Congress-
man Walter /. Smith had the presi-
dent in mind when he vehemently
declared in speaking of the 'secret
service that it WIS matter of com
mon knowledge that one of the requi-
sites Of the detective WAS that he
should be common liar" The ninth
