For a State Highway.

BILLINGS, Dec. 2l.-For the purpose
OF considering the question of "build.
ing a state highway which shall cross
Montana from North Dakota to
Idaho," q call for a convention to be
held in this city June l and 2 next
will be made through the medium of
the chamber of commerce.
The matter was introduced today at
a meeting of the business men by W.
B. George and met with favorable re-
spouse from all in the session. Mr..
George pointed out that Montana is
sadly in need of better roads and that
from the stand point of tourist travel
automobile alone the state loses fully
100000 each year, to say nothing
of the benefits which would accrue to
residents and especially farmers, who
could thereby deliver their products to
market At u minimum expense.
Mr.. Georges plan is for each coun.
ty to form a special Improvement dis
trict in ord, r to meet the expense of
building lateral roads connecting
with the main trunk, and that the
AUDITING property owner and the
cities liquids ate the cost of the princi.
pal highway, the cities to pay in pro.
portion to their distance from the to-.
terstate highway.

state board OF health, and further that
they may maintain the necessary quar-
antine 10 case of smallpox or other
contagious or infectious diseases.
The opinion says that the action of
the state board of health as quoted
does not abreviate authority imposed
upon county and local boar ds in such
cases. but is, in effect, a determine.
ton by the state board of health that
1t will not require local and county
boards of health to establish quaran-

FOES OF DR.. WILEY
SCORE A VICTORY


The argument was backed up with the
results OF experiments on six men, which
lasted sixty days.
DIR. Remsen, who was chairman OF the
Roosevelt referee board Of consulting
scientific experts. prefaced his remarks
by telling how that board OF experts had
started its work.
you understand that the reference
board was to take UP" said he. "only
such questions as should be referred TO
It by the Secretary. We had nothing to
do with the administration of the pure
food law Our function is 10 answer
20 the best OF our power such questions
as the Secretary may put.
NOW, in regard 10 this work on BEN
zoate OF soda, the referee board was
asked to determine two points first,
whether benzoate OF soda In such guam
titles as are likely 20 be used Is or Is
not injurious TO health. and, second.
whether the quality or strength OF food
to which benzoate OF soda has been added
is thereby reduced, lowered, or Injurious
ly affected"
supplemented DIR. Remsen.
DR., Chittenden supplemented DR.. Rem
sen He told or the experiments on six
healthy young men, and how benzoate
Of soda in varying quantities was ad-
ministered to each Of the poison eaters
daily for two months.
Surely. this administration. when ac-
companied by gain OF body weight and
without loss OF power to digest and alb
sorb the protein and fat OF the daily
food, must be taken as evidence that so
dium benzoate in the doses administered
is not seriously detrimental to health" :"
said DR.. Chittenden. From our expert
ments only one logical conclusion seems
possible, viz, that benzoate in small and
large doses up to four grams a day is
without deleterious effect upon the hu-
man system.
Il believe the evidence warrants the
opinion that sodium benzoate IS no more
harmful than corresponding amounts Of
salt. Certainly huckleberries. cranber-
ries. plums. prunes. and other related
fruits contain appreclable amounts Of
benzoate.
''The eating Of a small quantity OF
huckieberries, raspberries, or kindred
berries IS accompanied by the taking into
the system OF more benzoate than in the
administration OF three-tenths of a gram
OF sodium benzoate.
In the light Of our experiments. It Is
difficult 10 say why benzoate in moderate
amounts should be considered any more
inimical to health than such a salt as
sodium chloride"
Widespread interest was manifested to-
day in the session OF the Association OF
State and National Food and Dairy De-
partments. The famous war Of DR.. Har-
vey W. Wiley. government chemist. and
the Remsen board, on benzoate OF soda
as a preservative in food products was
expected ITO reach the stage Of a pitched
battle.
