Washington. d. c.. Jan. oS.-C2rrv-
my q total Of sl25.42l, 53S. the naval
appropriation bill was reported to the
House today by Chairman Foss, OF the
Naval Affairs COMMITTEES.
The bill is $5.a2S,216 less than the
current appropriation and s2.044.621
less than the estimates submitted by
the Navy Department.
The increase Of the navy program
calls for an appropriation OF $"4,27G,-
SIS, OF which S15.S32,92S for the first
year IS inserted in the present bill.
This increase as adopted III the bill
comprises two battleships OF 27,000
tons each. ut $I1.S35,40S each; Two
golfers. at $1,000, 600 each: eight tor
pedo boat 0~cstrOyers, ut $4,000, and
four submarines at $500, 900 each.
The cost. as given. is estimated on the
basis Of building by private contract,
without restriction. The department
would have cost s2~7,352.316. Including
two ba~ttieships, and the general board
had recommended q $4,000 0 pro-
gram. including four battlesllips.
The bill increases the limit Of cost
of the hattleship Florida. now being
built at the New York Ia yard, for
hull and machinery. exclusive Of
armor and armament, from Sc, COOS 600
TO $1,000. 900.
Because Of the extra expense the
bill repeats the provision in last years
naval act, which authorized one bat
tleship TO be built in a navy yard. The
contract TOR the FIorida's sister chip
was let well within the limit Of cost,
While the for building the
Florida, for all purposes the same
ship in the navy ward, exceeded the
limit OF cost for hull and machinery
by $1,000, 600. Or a total Of $500, 900.
Both these ships are directed to be
built under the e~ight-hour law re-
strictionS. The committee recon-

-four. In New York city several years
ago he startled the Sphinx club mem
bers at dinner by telling them what
they were drinking was not whisky,
although the label on the bottles said
it was. To the members of a house
committee on agriculture he once
served food and drink to illustrate the
difference between the pure and the
adulteTated.
According to DR.. Wiley, shad have
more sense about steering clean' of pol
luted water than human beings have.
An instance Of the way in which he
would attract popular attention to GER
tain subjects was a paper that he read
in New York on arsenic in glycerine
and women's black stockings. He hates
tobacco and would close. all bars. In
fifteen years he says people won't dare
smoke in public. He has also talked
about the day when men will be strong
and active although eighty years old.
The poison squads established by DR..
Wiley ate food containing borax and
other preservatives, lived on a diet of
cheese and underwent tobacco and al
cohol tests.
Manufacturers Of foods and drugs
affected by DR.: Wiley's analyses, rul-
ings and general activity have long
demanded his removal. His attitude
toward them may be summed up in
his own words, ~ don't give a hang
for the business world. What 1 care
for is the health Of the people. Where
there are hundreds Of dollars involved
there are millions Of lives hanging In
the balance. It is these consider and
not the business done by any corpora
tion.''
AS to criticisms against him, Dr.
Wiley says:
@Bless you, don't mind what the
boys have to say. They like it, and II
doesn't hurt me. If they didn't gel
mad at me I'd think I hadn't stirred
them up enough"

Finally Wins Long Fight.
The slowness Of congress to act upon
the committees report might have dis
couraged any one but DR.. Wiley, and
the pure food movement entered in
1904 upon the final stage preceding the
passage Of the national pure food and
drugs act two years later. Since then
the work of the bureau of chemistry
has greatly increased, for it's dutv I'M
der the bill was to supply analyses of
foods and drugs as basis for prose-
cution and information to legislators
needing aid in the preparation of meas
ures.
According to the policy Of Secretary
Wilson. DR.. Wiley, in whom the head
OF the agricultural department has
had full confidence, was allowed a
rather free hand. The food and drugs
act conferred enormous power upon the
chief Of the bureau of chemistry. DR..
Wlley's many enemies have disclosed
that he used his power arbitrarily, but
those of less prejudiced mind are in
clined to credit him with fair inter-
probation Of the act and the rulings
made under it. His first chief setback
was received when the Remsen board
two years ago, contrary to DR.. Wiley's
view, reported that benzoate of soda
as a preservative was not harmful.
DR.: Wiley threatened to resign when
the board was upheld, but he didn't

Office ought not to confine itself to see
ing If fertilizers were up to snuff or
not. It was the new chiefs aim to
create division of chemistry for the
study Of food adultera ton, and in 1885
his Office was authorized to study the
aduiteration Of foods.
While in Germany DR.. Wiley's inter-
est in the chemistry OF foods and in
physiological chemistry had been
greatly increased by work in the
health laboratory Of Berlin, under the
direction Of DR.. Sell. After DR.. Wiley
had become state chemist of Indiana
he set about to create a popular de-
mand for pure food and legislation
relative to food inspection. Not until
the division Of chemistry was allowed
to take up the study Of food adultera-
ton did DR.. Wiley begin to see the
possibility Of the realization Of hts
ideas on the exposing Of adulterated
foods and drugs.
A part of bulletin 10 in 1887 con-
tains the first report Of his researches.
The interest aroused by the publica-
ton led to Senator Faulkner's intro
duction Of a comprehensive food in
spection bill similar in many respects
to that passed by parliament in 1874
After leading a harassed life for sew
eral years this bill was finally killed

But DR.. Wiley was not discouraged
by these setbacks. Largely through hi:

The Suckers on Corn,

Many farmers are possessed WITH
the idea that the suckers or earless
stalks, which grow from an ear-bear-
ing stalk of corn, are hindrance to
the best growth of the latter, and
valuable hours are sometimes spent
in removing them. But, according to
Wallace's Farmer, actual experiments
during two successive years on Ne
braska farms demonstrated that corn
with the suckers left. undisturbed out
yielded that from which the suckers
had been removed. Their leaves, like
the others, would seem to perform a
useful Office in absorbing nutritiye
elements from the atmosphere for the
benefit of.the ear on the main stalk.
