WILEY MAY RETIRE
REFEREE BOARD HOLDS BENZO-
ATE OF SODA HARMLESS.
CONTRADICTS WILEY'S RULING
Secretary Wilson for Years Held the
Same View as That of the
Experts.

Washington, ID. c., Jan. 25.-Dr.
Harvey w. Wiley, chief of the bureau
Of chemistry of the department of
agriculture, the man who has done
more for the cause of pure food in
this country than any two others, has
been struck blow by the referee
board of consulting scientific experts
appointed by President Roosevelt. This
board has handed down a decision to
the effect that the use of benzoate of
soda in small quantities for preserving
food substances is not hurtful to
health. Manufacturers Of food pro-
ducts who have been warning against
DR.. Wiley for years, are rejoiced at
the decision, as it is in direct contra
diction with the findings of DR.. Wiley
through his poison Squad" expert
ments. Incidentally this finding of the
board tends to justify the position Of
Secretary Wilson, who was not in &C
cord with DR.. Wiley on the benzoate
of soda matters and favored the APP.
pointment of a referee BOARD which is
of Johns Hopkins university and COM
prises other distinguished scientists.
Benzoate of soda is used largely in
preserving catsups and continental
preparations, sauces, canned foods and
the like. The interests affected by
the decision are worth many millions
Of dollars.
In certain quarters this decision is
looked on as pointing TO an early re-
tirement of DR.. Wiley from the gov
eminent service. Food manufacturers
whom he has sought compel to live
strictly up to the pule food law, have
long been fighting him and trying to
get him ousted. This is the first deci-
sion of the referee board. It has
several other important questions be-
fore it, such as of sulphur in fruits.
In many quarters the decision of the
referee board which will permit the
use Of benZoate of soda or benZoic acid
in putting up food preparations is
greatly regretted, as it is looked on as
a step toward breaking down the pure
food law.

hour yesterday it was believed the
crashing together of the two big
ships, Florida and Republic off the fog
bound Nantucket coast, Saturday
had not resulted in the death or
injury Of single passenger or member
Of the crews. Shortly after midnight,
however, the wireless telegraph, that
mysterious force which had appraised
the world, of the Republics distress,
and quickly brought other ships to her
aid, flashed the news that two pas
sengers on the Republic had been
killed and two others injured. Late
in the day another wireless message
told of four deaths on board the
Florida, either members of the crew
or steerage passengers. The identity
of these was not made clear.

Mr.. Luther Burbank, the plant wiz.
ard of California, has originated a
wonderful new plant which grows any,
where, in any soil or climate, and bears
great quantities of luscious berries all
the season. Plants are grown from
seed, and it takes only three months
to get them in bearing, and they may
be grown and fruited all summer in
the garden. or in pots during the win
ter. 1t is unquestionably the greatest
Fruit Novelty ever known, and Mr..
Burbank has made Mr.. John Lewis
Childs, of Floral Park, N. Y, the in
PRODUCER. He says that Mr.. Childs is
one of the largest, best-known, fair
est and most reliable Scotsman in
America. Mr.. Childs is advertising
seed Of the Wonderberry all over the
world, and offering great inducements
to Agents for taking orders for it.
This berry is so fine and valuable, and
so easily grown anywhere, that every
body should get it at once.
