BENzoATE OF SODA AGAIN
From the Philadelphia Public Ledger we clip the following communication:

From the Phlladelph1a Pubic Ledger we clip the following communication: To the Editor of Public Ledger;
 Whether the use of benzoate of soda for one month or for three months is deleterious to the health is in fact not Iall-important It must be evident that any drug used as a food preservative, eaten constantly, year in and year out, by the community must affect the gen eral health deleteriously, and hence is most undesirable.
 Besides this, all such drugs used to preserve different foods open the door for the use of inferior qualities or part. ly decayed articles, which are deleter- ious to health
 The remedy is in the hands of the public, and is very simple one. The recent ruling as to benzoate of soda requires that every can in which it is used shall have that fact stated on the label. l have warned my grocer that will not accept such food for use, and that if furnished me I shall simply change my grocer. It is just as easy to obtain groceries mile away, by the use of the telephone, as it is from a store fifty feet away. If the public will refuse to purchase goods containing benzoate of soda, the manufacturers will very quickly stop using it.
 w. w. KEEN, M. D.
 Philadelphia, February 27.
 We are not sure that this terse and compact statement can be improved upon by editorial comment, but we do feel that it is worthy of the public s attention and consideration, which is in large measure the motive behind it's re- publication here.
 Dr. w. W. Keen, it so happens, is one of the most eminent medical men in this entire country. He is deep stu dent, and his conclusions carry great weight among the members of the pro fession he so conspicuously adorns. He goes directly to the heart of the benzo- ate of soda controversy, and he suggests sure and certain method of avoiding the deleterious effects he considers sure ly attaching to its prolonged and every day use. People who are compelled to partake of preserved food can avoid this harmful ingredient, and the possibili- ties of introducing into the system in ferior connections, by declining, unre- se-vedly, to purchase any product in

GOVERNMENTAL EXPENDITURES

The billion dollar session has at last arrived, the total of the appropriations for the rext fiscal year being $1,044,- 014,298. This vast sum, however, does not represent the exact charge upon the revenues of the appropriations made, for the total contains several large items like S90,000,Ooo for the sinking fund, that are mere treasury debits. Deducting these, the actual sum author ized to be expended is found to be S93S,751, ,46S According to the treas ury estimate the probable income for the next fiscal year totals S825, TIP. Should this amount be realized, which is problematical, there will be gap of over S100,0O0,000 between revenue and expenditure, only a portion of which can be bridged by the issue of bonds now authorized by law, though the re- mainder could be provided for by cer- tificates of indebtedness.
 Chairman Tawney of the house com mittee on appropriations, has sounded his usual alarm over the increase in governmental expenditures, which he attributes to two main causes-the growth of militarism, and the extension of functions into fields where the states have failed to perform their duties Congress, in Mir. Tawney's opinion, is powerless to withstand the public senti. meat sustaining both militarism and in creasing governmental activity. He practically throws up his hands in de spair, declaring that congress cannot be held responsible for the growth of pub lie expenditure due to these causes. An irresistible pressure for more money comes into the executive departments, which are continually magnIfying their office. No support appears from any quarter for retrenchment and the ap. propriation committee's 8 struggle with powerful executive and popular in huences' to keep down the drain of bureaucracy upon a depleted treasury
 Such is the unhappy picture MT. Taw- ney draws of congressional inability to deal with it's most conspicuous duty, that of providing revenue and guarding the public purse. It has failed to do both, but the fault, we are asked to believe, lies elsewhere MT. Tawney claims credit for not yielding to all the demands that were made upon congress, and we are disposed to give him and his colleagues their due in this matter. But is 1t fair to attempt to shift responsi- bility for appropriations7 If congress is not responsible for the expenditure of the public money, and for the manner of it's expenditure, what branch of the government is? If congress cannot handle the budget so as to make both ends meet, what power, under the con stitution, resides elsewhere to do SO? Congress should come squarely up to the rack, and demonstrate it's capacity to deal with the annual budget without running the government into unneces- sary debt or into bankruptcy To ap. propriate money without knowing where 1t is to come from is certainly not con- mendable fnsEciering, and to shirk re- sponsibility for so doing is simply to abdicats legislative functions.

intent on the slaughter of wolves only,
would reap a rich harvest if they went
to that region to hunt. A bounty of
$25 is being paid on every wolf pelt.
