DR.. WILEY IN n. OAK.
FOOD EXPERT AND
CHEMIST VISITS STATE.
PRAISES WORK OF Nc
CUNlBER AND IADD.

DR.. w. H. Wiley, the celebrated
government chemist and pure food
expert of national repute, visited
North Dakota this week and deliv-
cred an address of interest to every
one in the state. He spoke at Fargo.
DR.. Wiley paid nice tribute to
North Dakota and her grain products.
He talked of the great agricultural
possibilities of the state and said
that he was astonished when he was
told that the average yield was only
thirteen bushels of wheat to the acre.
He said the soil was capable of aver
aging twice that much and alluded
to the fact that the A. C. was teach
ing how to get this yield. He said
he would rather have one acre pro-
ducing twenty-six bushels than two
acre producing thirteen each. He
made an earnest plea for the babies
and pure food, for the girls who
work in the stores, for the women
who are bread earners and for the
boys and girls who have to work be-
fore they should. He spoke Of the
great progress of the nation and
asked what was the use of all this
progress if the general health was
not good. He talked of the laws of
the state as to the pure food and
praised Professor Ladd, and gave
Senator McCumber much praise for
what he had done while in his Off
cial capacity at Washington.
"Senator McCumber," stated the
speaker, "has been one of the hard
est workers, for I have worked with
him for years and know how hard
he worked as chairman Of the manu-
featuring committee. In 1906, when
the Hepburn bill was before the SEN
ate he stood shoulder to shoulder
with Senator Hepburn in the lat
ter's fight McCumber did great work,
not only for his own state, but for the
entire nation.
"And later the work Of Professor
Ladd for the conservation of health
has been of the best and he richly
deserves the grand support you have
been and are giving him in this great
state of yours. l know you have
all helped him, and are benefited
by his work"
He said that the women should
enjoy the fruits of mans work. That
it was their right. He talked of the
dope that was used for the babies
and said that it was filled with the
rankest kind of poison, and he said
that North Dakota by reason of her
pure food laws was not cursed in this
respect as some other states were.
He talked of the open air life and
said that almost every kind of dis
ease could be cured by the open air.
