A Master Of the Art Of Newsletter
Writing.

William e. Curtis. the famous cor
respondent of The Chicago Record
Herald, probably has a more enviable
position and is read by more men ana
women uaily than amy other news
paper writer in the United States.
He can go anywhere in the world and
write on any live topic that he choose
so long as he interests his hundreds
of thousands of readers. He has
travelled several times around the
world and written entertainingly abou
almost every country under the sum.
Every day in the year. without va
cation or intermission, MIR. Curtis has
a two-colum letter In The Record
Herald. The remarkable thing about
these letters is their power to inter
est all classes of readers. Women
read them with the same enjoyment
as men. Whether the subject be po-
litics, travels, new kink in the Mon
roe doctrine, an interview with the
newest money king or the personal
history of an Egyptian mummy, the
story is always told with a limpid
simplicity and an unfailing sense of
interest that keeps one reading to
the end No other correspondent
now living cam match the record Of
Mr. Curtis as a popular purveyor of
timely and useful information.
Whether he writes from his home in
Washington or from the wilds of Mex
leo. from the gay streets of Paris ~
some remote temple in India, he al
ways has something fresh and enter
canning to tell.
Mr.. Curtis began his newspaper
career in Chicago as a reporter in
1872, speedily became a managing
editor, resigned to serve as secretary
Of a government commission sent to
South America, and fulfilled his
duties SO brilliantly there that Score
tary James G. Blaine placed him at
the head of the new bureau of Am
erican republics. He Is almost as
widely known in South America and
Europe as in the United States. At
the worldc fair in Chicago he was
the executive head of the Latin-Am-
erican department. He Is a member
of almost every learned society in
Washington and many in Europe.
Nobody outside of the Record
Herald office knows under what flag
Mr.. Curtis will next be hanging UP
his hat, but everybody knows that,
whether 1t be in Patagonia or Kam
chatka, he will find something inter-
esting to write about. Merely to reaC
his daily news-letters is liberal
education. He does his full share
towards making the Chicago Record
Herald the best home newspaper in
the West.

Where the Chemists Disagree.

A board OF professors and chemists
appointed by President Roosevelt has
joined issue with DR.. Harvey w. VIII
ey, head Of the department of chem
istry In Washington. on the question
of benzoate OF soda in food products.
DR.. Wiley held that the use of this
preservative was harmful, but the
board announces. as a result of its
experiments, that a moderate guam
tity of this preservative, say 1-10 of
one per cent, has no deleterious ef-
fects upon the human system and
does not impair the nutritive quality
or value of the food. DR.. Wiley was
of the opinion that 1t did, and has
Deen requiring manufacturers TO state
upon their labels that they were u.s.
ing benzoate Of soda.
1t is. however. probably true that
the small quantity Of this preserva-
dive has not a serious effect. The
main difficulty r to keep the amount
OF It reduced. and not TO permit its
use to renovate or restore food that
has reached the decaying stage. The
main thing in the food products of
this country is not so much the ques-
ton of preservatives. while that is
important, as it is to see that fresh
clean, pure materials are used and
that the processes and places used
in the preparation OF these foods are
clean and wholesome.-Ex.

In Support Of the Pinchot
Policies.

The National Live Stock associa-

timber policies in the West This
action was to have been expected for
the association almost from its be
ginning has been a sturdy adherent
OF the national administration. Presi-
dent Roosevelt has received striking
aid and generous support from uhe
heads of the association whenever he
has been In contest with the railroad
combinations and congressional re-
actionaries. No body of men in the
whole nation has been more loyal
to him. The executive of the associa-
tion has gone to the front in critical
moments and made known to the
enemies OF the administration what
would happen to them they con-
tmued in opposition. In Denver the
association upheld the arm of For
ester Pinchot when scheme was
concocted to put him out of business
because he had interfered with GER
tain Western interests that had been
for many a day a law unto them
selves.
No doubt 1t would be to the inter
est of a few members Of the associa-
tion to have return to the old order
but the organization as a whole Is
farsighted enough to recognize that
the new conservation policy which
MIR. Pinchot has been urging with
such singular devotion, ultimately,
must be to the benefit of stock
raisers as well as to the common
wealth at large. The policy of "suffi-
cient for the day Is the evil thereon

Rural Carrier Lisetor tells good
one on Wyatt Price, gentleman of
color, who is patron of route one.
Recently Wyatt came to, town and
bought himself a pair of boots and
took them home before trying them
on. They proved to be little too
small so Wyatt decided to send
them in by the carrier to be ex-
changed. One morning the carrier
found the boots hanging over the
mail box with a note attached
which read, These are too small, y
but nothing was said about what
was to be done with them, SO under
Wyatt's request the carrier wrote
IT can't help it," and came on to
town leaving the boots hanging to
the box. The next time Wyatt will
probably be more explicit. Sum
