A DENIAL FROM
HIGH AUTHORITY

From National Food Magazine" Chicago.
DR.. II. 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 certificates or
statements that he had endorsed the Cal
umet Baking Powder, or reported in ia
vor of its purity, whOlesOmeness or su-
periority. Such statements, he says, are
false.
DIR. Wiley never served upon a com
mittee of awards, as alleged, nor signed
such a report, or certificate, nor did he
ever indorse the Calumet Baking Powder
IN any way. On the contrary, DR.. Wiley
testified before a Congressional COni-
mittee relative to alum in food, as fol-
lows: "As | have said repeatedly, |
do not use it in my own home and
would not use alum in bread if l 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 inexcus-
able use of his name"
The public will share in DR.. Wiley's
Indignation that his name and official
position should be fraudulently used to
aid III folStlng upon consumers a food
compound made from ingredients which
the Doctor has publicly declared to be
injurious.

galvanized iron bath of sea water. which
has the effect of hardening the contents,
while at the same time owing to the
