have. on the other hand, thousands OF
cases OF record Of various illnesses

not properly preserved and defended
from bacterial growth. The Remsen

The scope of the work of the Rem
sen referee board is much broader
than that Of the question upon which
| II has just passed and for which 1t has
been roundly berated. The full object
of its work is to experiment with all
preservatives used in prepared foods
and to provide SUFFICIENT accurate data
upon which proper and eflicient pure
food laws can be based. 1t Is more than
limited that some Of the abuse heaped
upon the scientists who compose the
board comes from manufacturers who
desire that the complete investigation
shall not be carried out because Of the
disclosures that may be made.

One Of the scenic wonders of the
American continent is the Garden of
the Gods, that tract Of fantastic and
wonderful rock formations, which has
just become, by gift from the children
of the late Charles e. Perkins, the
property Of the city of Colorado
Springs, Col. Once the worshipping
place Of the Indian, who heard in the
echoing caves the voice of the Great
Spirit, the Garden of the Gods has
now become a point Of pilgrimage for
the white man. 1t is visited annually
by thousands from all over the world.
The Garden of the Gods was pur-
chased in 1879 by Charles Elliott Per-
kins, who was until his death year
ago, president of the Chicago, Burling-
ton & Quincy railroads. He always
maintained it free to the public, and
several times refused large sums of
money for the tract In his will he
made no disposal of it, but left note
written on the back Of an old envel-
ope, saying: ut Is my wish that my
children give the garden of the Gods
| to the city of Colorado Springs for
park purposes" In accordance with
this wish, legal steps were recently
taken by which the tract Of $50 acres Is
placed in the hands Of three prominent
citizens of Colorado Springs who are
to act as trustees until plans can be
formulated for Its transfer, prior to
Jan. /, 1911. The children Of Mr.. Per-
kins making the gift are: Robert F.
Perkins, birmingham, Mass; Alice
Perkins Hooper, Boston: Edith Per-
l le{nc C,,pOinpha and NFarparaf Per-
Rims Rice, both OF Westwood. Mass,
and Mary Russell Perkins and Charles
3. Perkins. Jr, both OF Burlington.

was harmless. When Dr. Wiley stated
his attitude before the Interstate and
foreign commerce committee of the
house he declared that the harmful eff
fects We're so infinitesimal that they
could not be measured. This precipi-
tated commercial conflict that has
been carried to extremes.
Considerable Impotence has been
manifested here at the long delay in
publishing the full report of the board
upon which its findings were based.
Inquiry at the division of publication of
the department of agriculture yesterday
elected the information that owing to
the mass of data accumulated by the
board in its experiments it would be
impossible to give out the report in
book form for month or six weeks.
1t is understood that the report in
full will make volume of about a
thousand pages, and it will go in de-
tail into the boards findings on the
one phase of the subject of food pre-
servatives upon which IT has thus far
passed That the full report is waited
with keenest interest by the medical
fraternity is evidenced by the state
ment of one of the leading physicians
of the country. himself an authority
on dietetics. who, when visiting this
city recently, said:
1.-The medical profession, as whole
is completely in the dark on the sub
ject of the controversy between DR.
Wiley and the Remsen board. Thus
far it had reported solely upon the eff
feet of benzoate Of soda when used as
food preservative upon the human
system. This is something we know
next to nothing about, nor are We ac-
quainted with the effects of sulphur
dioxide and other chemical preserva-
f, tives The wonderful growth of the
prepared food industry has brought u.
face to face with new question. and

and render the probable outcome a
perplexing problem. Taking everything
into consideration, the year 1909 will
surely prove one Of distinct surprises
In baseball. And probably the friendly
relations that have existed between the
leagues and the players will become
severely strained.
Baseball leagues and teams are made
mp Of vfrila, resolute men, who realize
the uncertainties Of the game in which
their money and careers are invested
ana engaged and who know that dol
lar in the present Is worth a hundred
In the future. In baseball they have
learned that you may train tree in
the way It should go and somebody
else gets the fruit. The philosophy Of
the baseball magnate also teaches him
that arbitration comes easy after you
have licked the other fellow.

breaches that necessarily existed In
the gigantic structure Of the Older
league. Nobody prophesied victory in
the campaign Of the American league
except those who knew Ban johnson
and had brains enough to appreciate
his qualities and what they must por-
tend.
So today the American association,
with Joseph d. O'Brien as its presi-
dent, and the Eastern league, with Pat
Powers in the van, are in positions Of
decided strategic advantage. They sue.
cessfully threaten the sway Of the ma
jor leagues. They have forced com.
promises not to the liking Of the more
powerful magnates.
How O'Brien Beat the Majors.
To OBrien's tact was chiefly due the
credit for the recent victory over the
major leagues. 1t was O'Brien, with
Powers, who led in the framing up Of
the demand Of the American associa-
ton and Eastern league for a specia
rating, and the victory was largely t
be credited to his diplomacy in pre-.
senting the wishes of the American as.
sociation and the Eastern league. mil.

sociation, was formerly better known
In politics than In baseball. He was
chief clerk Of the Wisconsin state sen
ate for several terms, but with the
coming in Of the La Toilette regime
he was displaced. He then turned t
baseball and, being sponsored by Pres
ident Havenor Of the Milwaukee club
was made the association president.

quiry Of the Remsen scien-
tific referee board to cover many other
subjects Of public health beyond those
already committed to it. The original
field Of review laid out for the board
was in the matter of preseryatives in
foods, but the plan now is to refer to
it many inquiries having to do with
public health in general, with particu-
lar reference to the stamping out by
national action Of tuberculosis and ty-
phoid fever. President Taft Is very
much interested in the movement and
has held several conferences upon the
subject within the past week, particu-
larly with Professor Irving Fisher of
Yale, chairman of the Committee of
One Hundred on National Health. A
presidential recommendation along the
lines of both party platforms Is ex-
pected as the outcome.
It is understood, however, that Presi-
dent Taft's idea is more along the lines
of the creation of a bureau of public
health under one OF the present depart
ments, with an assistant secretary at
its head. and under which all of the
various matters touching the health Of
the community shall be grouped. The
present existing Remsen board would
be the basis If this bureau is more than
likely. It is this board which in it's
recent findings overruling DR.. H. w.
Wiley, chief of the bureau Of chemis-
try. precipitated the benzoate Of soda
controversy, and it Is now at work up
on the subject Of other personalities
used in the preparation Of foods AS a
matter of fact, there has been little of
real difference of opinion between DR..
Wiley and the board. The latter, after
exhaustive experiments, declared that

preparations as q preservative in guam
