Especial Correspondence of The Argus.)
Washington, Aug. 20.-A clash be-
tween Attorney General Bingham of
Indiana and the United States depart
ment of agriculture has brought to
light the fact that the department of
agriculture has not only ruled that
benzoate of soda may be used in any
quantities in the preservation Of food
stuffs, but that this department Is do
ing everything it can to prevent the
states from enforcing state laws pre-
venting the use of the embalming drug
There is a long story behind the
subject of benzoate of soda and the
department of agriculture. Just why
the department should favor the en-
,balming of beef is not quite clear to
even those who have made a close in
vestigation of the subject.
Order on Inauguration Day.
1t was on March 4, 1909, the day
President Taft came into Office, that
an order was sent out from the bureau
of animal industry permitting the use
of benzoate of soda in the preserva-
ton Of meat and meat food products.
Before that date the government reg
ulations were in effect, that no meat
or meat food should contain any sub
stance which lessened its wholesome
ness Aor any preservation except COM
mon salt, wood smoke, vinegar, pure
sugar and ssltpeter.

George B. Cortelyou, Oscar S. Strauss
and James Wilson, who at the time, as
heads of the treasury department, de-
partment of commerce and labor and
department of agriculture, respectively,
were designated in the pure food law
to frame the regulations. OF the three
men, two were to retire from Office
the next day, and actually retired be-
fore the scope of their order became
known. DR. Harvey w. Wiley, chief of
the bureau of chemistry, had previous
ly ruled that benzoate of soda was
positively harmful in its effect upon
the human system. His ruling was
upheld by physicians and chemists in
all parts of the country and by pro-
fessors at some of the leading Amer
ican universities.
Overruled Wiley.
The referee board of the department
of agriculture reversed DR.. Wiley's
ruling. The board ruled that benzoate
of soda could be used by the packers
and made no limitations as to the
quantity. The packers Immediately be-
gan to use benzoate of soda and rush
consignment of embalmed beef to all
states of the union in which there
were no state laws on the subject. 1t
happens that the state of Indiana has
a law prohibiting the sale of food con-
tanning benzoate of soda as preserva-
tive. Food manufacturers started a
suit against the state in an attempt to
break down the barrier.

of agriculture to send DR.. Wiley and

Eighteen of the men were found in
