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 Pow
der company, of Chicago, that 1t cease
the publication OF alleged certificates
or statements that he had endorsed
the Calumet Baking Powder, or re-
ported in favor Of its purity, whole
sOmeness or superiority. Such state
ments, he says, are false.
DR.. Wiley never served upon a com
mittee OF awards. as alleged o signed
such a report or certificate, nor did he
Eel indorse the Calumet Baking pow
der in any way. On the contrary, DR..
Wiley testified before a congressional
committee relative TO alum in food, a
follows: "As l have said repeatedly, I
do not use 1t in my own home, and
would not use alum in bread il l knew
IL. 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 stnn the base and III
eXcusable use of his name"
The public will share in DR.. Wiley's
Indignation hat his name and official
position should be fraudulently used
TO aid in foisting upon consumers a
food compound made from ingredients
which the doctor has publicly declared
to be injurious.

Many a year Is In it's grave
Since I crossed this restless wave.
And the evening. fair as ever.
Shines on ruin, rock and river.
Then, In this same boat. beside,
Sat two comrades, old and tried
One withali a ather's truth,
One with all the fire OF youth.
One on earth in science wrought.
And his grave In silence sought,
But the younger, brighter farm.
Passed In battle and in storm.
So, whene'er I turn mine eye
Back upon the days gone by,
Saddening thoughts OF fcsen@S COMO 0'sT
me.
Friends who closed their course before me.
Yet what binds us. friend To friend.
But that soul with soul can blend;
Soul-like were those hours or yore-
Let us walk I'm soul once morel
Take, O boatman. twice thy fee
Take--I give II willingly
For, invisible TO thee,
Spirits twain have crossed with me.
