A DENIAL FROM
HIGH AUTHORITY,

From National Food Magazine" Chicago
Dr. II w. Wiley, Chief Chemist of
the Agricultural Department. mas de-
manded Of the Calumet Baking Powder
Company, of Chicago, that it cease the
publication of alleged certificates or
statements that he had endorsed the Cal
umet Baking Powder, or reported in IA
yor of its purity, wholesomeness or SUI
periority. Such statements, he says, are
false.
DR. Wiley never served upon a com
mittee OF awards, as alleged, nor signed
such a report, or certificate, nor did he
ever indorse the Calumet Baking Powder
IN any way. On the contrary, DIR. Wiley
testified before a Congressional Com
mittee relative to alum in food, as fol-
lows: AS l have said repeatedly,
do not use it in my own home, and
would not use alum in bread if | knew
it. Alum is injurious"
1t seems that DR.. Wiley's demand that
the Calumet Company should cease these
publications, which are, he says,
against the TRUTH" was not complied
with although he says he has done all
he could ito stop the base and inexcus-
able use Of his name"
The public will share in Or. Wiley's
Indignation that his name and official
position should be fraudulently used to
aid in foisting upon consumers a food
compound made from ingredients which
the Doctor has publicly declared to be
injurious.

PIGEONS FOLLOWED SHIP.
Stories Of Birds That Found Home
Aboard Vessels

Capt Cowdy of the British steamship
Cayo Manzanillo is fancer Of pigeons
and has demonstrated by actual expert
ence that birds of the homing class will
locate for themselves a temporary as
we'll as a permanent loft. Capt. Cowdy
said that he had noticed recently in dis
patches from Galveston that Il number
of homer pigeons had been picked up
by vessels in the gulf and by people III
the city and said that he is of the opin-
ion that they may be part of his family
of ten which was lost from the Cayo
Manzanillo off Vera Cruz in a storm
These ten pigeons are Belgian birds
and have Travelled with Capt. C0wdy for
thousands of miles and have been re-
leased in many different countries, at
times as far as 500 miles in the interior,
and in every case have found their way
back to their ship, evidendS having no
trouble picking out their bones among
the numerous other vessels that might
be at anchor.
One of the latest tests that Capt.
Cowdy gave to his birds was ut Vera
Cruz. Mexico. when he took his pets
with him a distance of 200 miles into
the interior to the City of Mexico, where
they We're released, and they few direct
to Vera Cruz and to their lott on board
his ship.
An interesting coincidence with the
disappearance of his ten birds on the
night of the storm was that the next
day one of them returned. 1t found the
ship at sea and fell to the deck exhaust
ed. Shortly afterward it recovered and
appeared anxious to leave again. 1t
was released, but after flying about the
ship for while rose in the air and
made frantic appeals, so Capt towdy

of the commander and then slowly start
ed away in the direction from which it
had come Capt. Cowdy is positive in
his belief that the birds actions were in

its companions and steer them to the
ship. The birds disappearance was the
last seen of it. and the captain is Of the
opinion that his pets were caught in
the force of the gale and persisted, else
he is sure that they would have followed
the ship.-HoustOn Post.

lovely sense of humor. while Bryan has
none.
