MILEY WAS RIGHT.

The action of the commission of
chemists in overruling DR.. Wiley in the
matter Of the use Of benzoate Of soda
settled the matter. The opinion of
these three men carries no more weight
than the opinion Of DR. Wiley and his
associates, and the great mass of peo-
pie who possess average intelligence
will draw their own conclusions. In
appointing the commission President
Roosevelt doubtless had in view the
protection of some particular manu-
facturer, and it is noted in this con-
neetion that the navy department. IN
advertising for tomato catsup. speci-
acally allowed the use of benzoate Of
soda
1t is cheerful sign that many of the
food manufacturers who use their best
endeavors to keep their goods pure and
palatahle have ranged themselves on
the side of DIT. Wiley. and a meeting
was recently held in New York at
which vigorous resolutions were adopt
ed.
The gist of the resolutions was that

OF them, are inclined to doubt the wis

pARcELs POST.

There isn't any chance OF the pas
sage Of q straightout parcels post bill
during the present session Of congress,
SC Senator Beverage has come forward
with a proposition that the system be
tried on two OF three rural delivery
routes in different parts Of the country
during the coming summer and the re-
suits be made known 10 congress when
il meets next December Whether his
advice viii be followed cannot be told
at present.
There i considerable opposition 70
the parcels post proposition. The ex-
press companies naturally do not want
to lose any revenue. and the cross
roads storekeepers are much wrought
up over the prospect of their trade
going to adjacent cities in case the
system is put into operation. The plain;
Of the cross-roaders has probably cut
little figure in the discussion of the
matter in Washington, but the express
companies are powerful enough to
make themselves heard, the president
Of one Of the corporations being MEM
Der Of the senate.
Postmaster General Meyer has plan
10 protect the rural stOrekeepers. his
idea being to run the parcels post on
the zone system. His proposition Is
that the government should undertake
to deliver through the mail parcels
Weighing not TO exceed eleven pounds
for L cents a pound At the present
time the merchandise rate is IS cents a
pound. and the limit is four pounds
This new rate would, Of course. carry
a package anywhere within the United
States. the same as it IS now carried
to those foreign countries with which
We have parcels post arrangements.
That the country storekeepeT should
have a distinct advantage over mail
order houses in large cities. the post
master general conceived the idea Of &
special parcels post system on pack
ages originating and being delivered on
the same route. For this special ser
vice he proposed TO fix rate of cents
for the first pound and cents for each
additional pound up to the maximum
weight fixed for the whole parcels post
system.
The way this would work out would
BE- that the country storekeeper from
whose place Of business radiate sew
eraI r1rsI delivery routes would be able
TO deliver goods to any Of his custom
ers on any OF the routes running from
his town at an average cost Of a little
over , cents per pound OF % cents for
the maximum bundle of eleven pounds.
II will be seen. therefore. that the
country stOrekeeper would have a dis
elimination in his favor Of about 10
cents a pound on every article he sent
out OF his store by mail. and that would
be more than enough to meet any pos
sibie competition by the big mail order
houses.
The agitation for the parcels post has
not fairly begun, and it may be that it
will be some time before the system is
inaugurated. but it will come at last.

partly due to their lack OF realization that
