A Denial From High Authority.

From 'Natiossdl Food Magazine Chicago
DR.. H. w. Wiley, Chief Chemist OF
the Agricultural Department, has de-
manded of the Calumet Baking
Powder Company, of Chicago, that it
cease the publication of alleged GER
tificates or statements that he had
endorsed the Calumet Baking
Powder, or reported in favor OF its
purity, wholesomeness or superiority
Such statements, he says, are false
DR.. Wiley never served upon com
mittee of awards, as alleged, nor
signed such report or certificate
nor did he ever indorse the Calumet
Baking Powder in any way On the
contrary, DR.. Wiley testified before
Congressional Committee relative
to alum in food, as follows: AS
have said repeatedly, l do not use it
in my own home, and would not use
alum in bread if knew it. Alum is
injurious.
1t seems that DR.. Wiley's demand
that the Calumet Company Should
cease these publications, which are,
he says, against the truth was not
complied with, although he says he
has done all he could ito stop the
base and inexcusable use of his
name"
The public will share in Dr. Wiley's
indignation that his name and of
fetal position should be fraudulentlg
used to aid in foisting upon con
snmers food compound made from
ingredients which the Doctor has
publicly declared to be injurious.
