RECENT DECISIONS REGARDING
FOOD AND ''NEAR-FO0D"

garding the use of sulphur in the
preparation of various food stuffs
The sugar men of Louisiana are very
anxious on this score. They use sui
phur in the process of making
mo!ases, and they say that there is no
substitute for It, and that they would
pay handsomely for one that would
prove satisfactory. The wine men.
VINO use sulphur TO cleanse the in
terror OF barrels and kill harmful
bacteria, are also anxious for the de
cision. They would not know Just
what to do If they were not allowed
TO use sulphur in that manner. The
men who prepare dried fruit for the
market are also Interested. as they
use sulphur to blanch the fruit and
kill any insect life that may threaten
the wholesomeness of the fruit The
Remsen board has been making ex-
periments which are said to be as ex-
haustive as those made in its inves-
tigation of benzoate, and when its
decision is rendered, whether II be
for or against sulphur, il is likely to
rank for many years as the last au-
lucrative word on the subject. The
verdict is not likely to be pleasing to
everyone, but it is probable that it
will stand, for there is no higher
authority in this country.
Watching the Clock.
The mem bers of congress are busy
watching the clock At this writing
there have been several attempts
made to fix time for adjournment,
and perhaps an agreement will really
be reached almost any day. 1t is
matter of no small consequence to
men whose terms of office are about
to expire, and who are Obliged to go
before their constituents and give an
account of their stewardship, that
real or imaginary rivals are busy at
home trying to usurp their seats in
the halls of congress. OF course,
any man legally equipped has the
right to aspire to congress but that
does not alter the argument and so
it is getting to be very wearing on the
congressman who would like with all
their hearts to stop debating and rush
all worthy legislation through. BY
this time they have practically de-
cided what legislation is worthy.
Some of it has been passed, some has
been rejected. and some more will be
put through If there be time TO do ii.
Some of course, will fail of passage
merely because at the end there will
not be enough time to pass on il. and
some of this is likely to be of the
kind classified as the presidents
policies. The president is getting
nervous too on this score, and he is
comforting with members of congress
almost continually In an endeavor to
smooth the path for Legislation which
he considers essential. OF course,
much of it may well come up at the
succeeding session. but,-just sup
pose that there should be demo
cratic house! Well, the administra-
tion realizes that there is no time
like the present, so it is pretty busy
begging for votes and action.

WENDELL PHILLIPS DRIVEN

A pathetic story was recently re

who during the last few days of his
life lived alone In his old Essex street
home. The floor of his room was
carpetless and no curtains shaded the
windows, which looked out upon the
many skyscrapers that had closed in
upon the old house, seeming about to
smother it, as they had threatened to
do with the Webster mansion on
Summer street and Church Green.

by the touching plea of his palsied

having served two terms as vice presi-
dent and one as president of the First
general conference district Of the Ep-
worth league. He was also one of the

missionary education, and comes to his
new field with knowledge and zeal
based upon experience. Mr.. Legg is
man of deep spiritual insight. AS
speaker he is deliberate, clear and i'm

PLAYED GAME WITH BROKEN RIB
AND A PuNcTURED LUNG.
Quarterback of the Annapolis Team is
Now in the Sick Bay.

Annapolis, Md. Nov. 27.--After the
return from Philadelphia of the victo
r1ous Naval Academy football squad
tonight, it was learned that Ingram C.
Sowell, the quarterback. played al
most the entire game with the West
Point cadets yesterday suffering from
a broken rib and probably a punetured
lung. The injury was sustained during
the first few minutes of play, but So
well paid no attention to it.. and his
hurt was not known to anyone else un-
The quarterback's chest is heavily
muscled, and it was perhaps owing to
this that examination on the field did
not disclose serious injury. He was al
lowed to continue playing. but was
told not to run with the ball. He dis
regarded that order, however. DIR. A. II.
Murphy, one of the Naval Academy
surgeons. who was with the squad and
who has since carefully examined So
well, says that rib is undoubtedly
broken, but he is not sure that the
lung has been punctured.
Sowell was put to bed in the hotel
in Philadelphia soon after the game
but was considered we'll enough to
return to Annapolis with the squad
today. The trip caused rise in his
grees. DR.. Murphy is authority for
the statement that the only possibility
of danger lies in the chance of infec-
ton of which there are no indications
whatever. Indeed, so slightly is the
quarterback's injury thought of that
he has not been sent to the naval hos
initial, but is tonight in the sick bay at
Bancroft hall, without other attend
ance than the hospital stewards.
