Now that the public OF Martlnsburg
Is being called upon to aid the work
or the local Anti-Tuberculosis Assoc
citation by the purchase OF Christmas
, seals. IL may be well to tell something
about the work that has beea done
by the association.
Thus far II has been largely OF an
educative nature, consisting chiefly In
securing lecturers, in the distribution
of reading matter and in the display.
ing OF pictorial exhibits In public
Llaces. In each OF the public schools
of the city one of these exhibits has
been placed. These exhibits consist
Of number OF metal sheets which
can be turned as the leaves OF book
On these sheets are told both In story
and picture the various methods used
IN combating the dreaded White
Plague" which Is making such heavy
inroads upon our population.
Last year the school children OF this
city sold 5000 worth Of Christmas

it's claim to reward in favor OF the
other schools. as this school is al
ready equipped with these sanitary
fountains. The school board bears
the expense OF installing the foun-
tails. In addition the High School
assembly hall was equipped with
handsome picture molding 1t is con-
sidered, therefore, that a splendid be-
ginning has been made with the
limited resources OF the association.
With an increased sale OF the stamps
q much greater work can be done
rext year,
It seems such little thing to do
that the average, blsineas man hest
tates TO purchase one OF these stamps;
yet II is the small things in HE"
that often count the most. II each
person in Martinsburg buys one
stamp it means 500 toxsrd extermi-
mating tuberculosis; a purchase OF
two stamps. 5000. etc It certainly
seems that Martinsburg should aver
age ten stamps to each person. This
means 81 600 Sounds big. does II
not? Yet this is the way little things
grow. The school children will not
worry You with the sale OF the seals
this year; the seals will be on sale
at the Wostoffice and other pubic
places. DO not wait to be asked to
buy them Take the initiative and

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-That So.
licitor McCabe, though not a chemist
was the real head of the pure food and
drug board, was brought out in the
hearing today before the committee in
vestigating the Wiley-McCabe views in
the department of agriculture. DR.
Wiley, chief chemist of the govern.
ment and central figure in the con.
troversy, took the stand in his own
defense and in a few minutes convinc-
ed the committee that McCabe ran
the pure food and drug bureau to suit
himself, always with hostile atti.
tude toward Dr. Wiley.
After giving list of his various de-
grees and stating that he had been
chief government chemist since 1883,
DR.. Wiley began his story Of the en-
forcement of the pure food and drug
law. The enforcement of this law, he
said, had been bitterly fought for
years by adulterers of food and drugs
DR.. Wiley told the committee of the
differences in the board of food and
drug inspection, which formally voted
whether there should be prosecutions
in cases where the law had been VIC.

ion was voted down by Solicitor Nc.

members of the board.

Were you usually sustained by the
board?" asked Rep. Boyd.
'Not usually, only about one-third
of the cases." replied DR.. WILEY
when you voted one way and DR..
Dunlap voted the other. who decided
the matter?" .....
Solicitor McCabe."
When asked IL McCabe was a chem.
list, DR.. Wiley replied not to his know.
ledge.
Wiley said that McCabe had voted
with him and against Dunlap in only
one instance out of 1900. This was
in a case concerning labelling of whis-
key.
Wiley testified that if he and Dun.
lap voted together on case and Nc.
Cabe voted differently, Dunlap would
change his opinion to agree with Nc.
Cabe. Dunlap had done this in at
least 100 cases that Wiley could re.
member. L.
DR.. Wiley then told of the active
part he had taken for many years in
the advancement of pure food legisla.
ton. He said there was constant op.
position by makers of adulterated and
misbranded food. 1t was the duty OF
the bureau to examine samples and
decide IL they were misbranded or
adulterated, which action constituted
scientific inquiry. ...
Rep. Floan asked if DR.. Wiley ever
appealed to Secretary Wilson in the
event of being cverruled by the ma.
jority of the board
I'm two cases I did so appeal" he
said, ION the grounds that the pub
lie health was threatened. But in
both cases the secretary decided
against me. I found that the appeal
against the majority was hopeless"
Dr. Wiley testified that his associa
tes on the board commonly had beer
antagonistic to him.
