viii Attempt to Prove by Demonstra.
ton That Sulphur is Harmless
Preservative Of Fruits.
(By Associated PresS.)

Washington, d. c., Feb. 26.-Infor-
mation reaches Washington that
Remsen Board is preparing to report
that sulphur is harmless preservative
to dried fruits. It's conclusions will
be based on a series of experiments
similar to those it conducted with
benzoate of soda. Students, carefully
selected because of their healthful-
ness, have been fed on sulphured
fruit, together with many other things.
They have gained in weight: ergo
sulphur fruit is the real stuff for stu
dents. This question is Of great i'm
portance to California because of its
large dried fruit industry and Prof.
Alonzo e. Taylor, of the University
of California, a member of the Rem
sen Board, has this matter in charge.
The favorable attitude of the Rem
sen Board toward sulphur, following
its famous findings of benzoate Of
soda, predicates similar favorable

Early Decision Not Expected.

Consequently decisions in. these
matters are not expected very soon,
but as the methods employed are the
same as in the benzoate case, and the
interests concerned are similar, the
results can be accurately predicted.
Unless the Remsen board is to pro-
duce favorable results for artificial
preservatives, etc.. there is no excuse
for it's existence. Congress enacted
pure food law and acting under it
all sorts of preservatives and adul-
terants were prohibited. These inhl-
bitions came from the highest consti-
tuted authority under the law, and
to secure a reversal of this adverse
attitude it was necessary to create
an extra legal body. never contem-
plated by Congress, which took form
in the Remsen board. Here then, we
have a problem for those students
who are stuffed with preservatives
and other things more to their liking.

Proven BY Resolutions.

"a -a. Proven BY Resolutions.
That this view is taken by the ply
sicians of the country is proven by
the many resolutions adopted at their
state and national conventions con-
demning benzoate of soda. Foremost
among the active opponents of the
preservative is DR.. Charles L. A..
Reed, of Cincinnati. DR.. Reed is not
only famous surgeon, but is one of
the leaders in the cause of preven-
tative medicine. He takes the posi-
ton that the effect of drugs upon
invalids, children and aged persons,
the classes peculiarly the care of the
physicians, cannot be determined by
experiments conducted by chemists
upon the bodies of stalwart young
college students, carefully selected
because of their disease resisting pow
ers and fed on a diet scientifically
calculated to offset the deleterious
effects of the ingested drug or drugs.
Dr. Reed exposed the fallacy of such
experiments at the last meeting of
the Association Of State and National
Dairy and Food Departments at Den
yer, and but for the activity of the
delegates representing the Depart
ment of Agriculture he would have
swept that convention off it's feet.
He is chairman of the special COM
mittee of the American Medical Asso-
citation which has the matter in charge
and the condemnation of benzoate of
soda and other drug preservatives by
this body is being supported by all
the state and interstate medical So
cieties as we'll as by the American
Homeopathic Institute. Should Pres
ident Taft's wishes prevail and Con
gress provides for a bureau of public
health, it is not improbable the place
will be offered to DR.. Reed, who is an
old friend of the Presidents.

president of the league is Major Ed

dents are Messrs. Joseph B. Acker,
Herman A. Metz and Joseph w. Mas

Although the league was formed

of Long Islands inland waterways, it
has done important things in other

approved the leagues recommends
tions for lights in Jamaica Bay,
Sheepshead Bay, Rockaway Inlet,
Belle Harbor, at Bailey's Rock and in
New Rochelle Harbor. These lights
will be burned at the opening of navi-
cation in the spring. At the request
of the league Congressman Calder,
one of its members, had Congressman
Humphries withdraw his bill to fur
ther restrict the operation of motor
boats in public waters, and Herman
A. Metz was Influenced by the league
to use his power as comptroller of the
city to prevent the ousting of several
yacht clubs from public lands at Pei

After the bill to develop the Long
Island inland waterways shall have
been pushed through Congress the
League will urge other needed i'm

attachment is as strong as death, theit

They are hungry for devotion and

they triple the energy Of love by en-

Superintendent A. N. Hauser and
Cashier Paul Probert, of the Calumet

their way to the mine with the week

relieved of the money ana their
horses.
The holdup was daring one, being
done in broad daylight at point in
the road hardly out of the city limits.
While riding along at a fair trot the
men noticed two men coming towards
them, walking but they paid no
attention to them, as it is not unusual
to pass natives on foott on the riad.
When alongside the horses the two
natives grabbed the brides and shov-
ed guns into the stomachs Of the
two surprised men and commanded
them to alight from their mounts.
Their wishes were complied with, the
robbers mounted the horses and made
away towards Puertocitos. The pay
roll amounted to about $2500 Mexican
money. 1t was to be used to pay off
the men for the past weeks labor.
