OPPOSES USE OF
OWN DISCOVERY
Chemist Admits Saccharin in
Food Stuffs Injuries
the Health.

Baltimore, May At has fallen to
the lot of DIR. Ira Remson, president OF
Johns Hopkins university. to declare
to health and therefore
useless in its most promising CONNER
cial form the chemical saccharin. Of
which he was one OF the discoveries
and which is closely associated with
his name.
The United States secretary OF agri-
culture has announced that saccharin.
which has been widely used by sugar
manufacturers as an economical sub
stitute for sugar, may not be used in
foodstuffs after July I. The ruling is
based on the report OF board of ex-
perts, of which DR.. Renmsen is chair
man.
The chemist would not give any in.
timation as to the contents OF the
boards report, but let 1t be understood
that the decision of the secretary OF
agriculture was in accord with the
findings.
The commercial development OF
saccharin since its discovery by DIR.
Remsen and his assistants has been
carrien on by. DR.. Constantin Fahlen.
berg, a student under DR.. Remsen.
Saccharin has been ranked among the
contributions Johns Hopkins univer-
sity has made to science. and. indi.
rectly, to commerce. The desicion of
the secretary of agriculture. however.
will be a hard blow to the food Indus
tries that have owed their prosperity
largely to the use OF saccharin instead
of sugar in their products.
The chemical. which was extracted
from coal by DIR. Remsen and DIR, Fab
lenberg. is three hundred times as
sweet as sugar.
Decision Of the Board.
The decision of the secretary re-
gard saccharin, based on the Remsen
boards report, Is. In part, as follows:
AT the request of the secretary Of
agriculture the referee board OF con-
sulting scientific experts has conduct
ed an investigation as to the effect on
health of the use of saccharin.
THE investigation has been con.
cluded and the referee board reports
that the continued use OF saccharin
for q long time in quantities OVER
three-tenths Of gram q day is liable
to impair digestion and that the addi-
ton of saccharin as a substitute for
cane sugar or other forms of sugar re-
duces the fod value of the sweetened
product and hence lowers the quail
ty."

GOLD IS UNCLAIMED
$500, 900 Lies in u. S. Vault
Waiting Claimants.

Washington, May 2.-Stacked up In
one corner of the steel-ribbed vaults
OF the United States treasury, $500. 900
in gold coin Is going begging. The
government cannot give 1t away; yet
none of the rightful owners can be in
duced to take IL. 1t represents un-
claimed interest on the public debt.
Somewhere in hooks and crannies
and out OF the way places are the gov
ernment's interest checks for the mon
ey. which never have been cashed.
Some of them never will be presented
others may be brought around in time.
and some are being he'd by cautious
investors.
From time to time the treasury at.
tempts to call in the checks and the
'vagaries Of human nature are shown.
One citizen has more than $50. 900
waiting for him and holds the checks
for 1t. He was recently invited to
cash in and made trip to Washington
to tell the treasury officials the checks
were his property. he would cash them
when he pleased, or burn them up II
he wished. II he does the latter, his
money will be in the vaults until con.
gress perhaps, might dispose of It,
The treasury can do nothing but keep
1t.
The contractor who laid the first
pavement upon Pennsylvania avenue
from the capitol to the White House
has $1,000 waiting for him. 1t has
been there many years, but the treas
ury has never been able to find the
rightful payee, as the contractor fail
ed and his affairs became involved in
litigation which has never been set
tied.
The amounts of this seemingly ow
nerless fund range from thousands Of
dollars down to few cents. The
smaller amounts are all held for those
who owned government securities al
some timfe or other and probably have
forgotten to collect their latest inter
est.

MACHINE REEVES
THE ALMOST DEAD
Victims of Gas and Drown
ing Restored by Wonder
full Invention.

Washington, May "A wonderful
continuance which provides method
of preventing deaths of the hundreds
of persons annually overcome by in
haling gas, by drowning or by cleo
trio shock has been brought to this
country from Germany by officials of
the United States bureau of mines
and made part of the governments
mine rescue cars.
Where there is spark of life left
in the body this machine, which Is
known as a pulmotor, or lung motor.
will restore the 'asphyxiated or drown
ed victim by causing the natural move
ments of inhalation and exhalation,
at. the same time giving carefully
measured supply of oxygen into the
lungs. This new lung motor Is en-
tirely different from any other contri-
vance ever used in this country to
resuscitate persons, and 1t is expected
to play an important part in the gov
ernment's work in the prevention of
mine accidents.
The pulmotor placed by director JOS
eph A. Holmes in the equipment Of
each mine rescue car has a mask in
closing the mouth and nose and max
ing an alright connection with the
face. Flexible tubes connect the mask
and storage cylinder of oxygen, to
which is connected blowing and sue
ton valves. All parts of the machine
fit in a box, which is smaller than the
ordinary suit case
When the mask is made alright on
the face and the oxygen turned on, the
machine works automatically, filling
the lungs with oxygen, and emptying
them of whatever they may contain.
Officials of the bureau of mines re-
port that during the brief time the ma
chine has been in use by this govern
ment fifteen men have been restored
who were apparently dead.
One of the most notable RESERVATIONS
resulted after recent mine disaster
in Ohio. Near the entrance two min
ers lay where they had been over
come. Both were apparently dead. A
small spark of life was indicated when
the rescuers discovered a little
warmth under the arm pits. The men
were hastily removed and Immediately
the pulmotor was applied. In a brief
time signs of life reappeared, and to-
day the men are back at their work,
well and thankful that Uncle Sam is
showing little interest in the line of
human conservation represented in
the work for the prevention OF mine
accidents.

FRANkTON SPELLERS
WIN FROM BARRETT

Frankton and Barrett schools met at
the Park Grange Hall Saturday. The
two school, gave an interesting pro-
gram.
A recitation by Miss Evylin Geek
was well rendered. A duet, Reuben
and Rachel" by Master Allan Jones
and Miss Irma Boyce, was well render
ed and they brought the house down
with their fine impersonation.
A song by Arthur Rimmer, who had
rendered it without any musical accom-
payment, was finished in good style
regardless of his handicap.
A spelling match between the pupils
Of the two schools of the fifth, sixth,
seventh and eighth grades, which was
masaged by Prof. c. D. thompson,
county school superintendent. he
first contest beween the fifth grades of
each school was close and could not be
decided at that time as lrma Boyce,
representing Barrett, and Lulu Tom
linson, representing Frankton, spelled
all the words in the book as far as the
fifth grade had gone during the term.
Then these two were given rest.
Next on the floor came the sixth
grade, Frankton winning this contest.
Bell Ellis and Laura Hoskins were the
winners for Frankton. The next con
test between the seventh and eighth
grades resulted in the victory going to
Barret, Josephine Dodge spelling down
all of Frankton's contestants.
At this stage of the contest, there
being tie, Prof. Thompson called out
the star spoilers of the fifth grade,
Irma Boyce and Lulu Tomlnson. This
was hard fought contest and it seem
ed for a while that there would be
complete tie, but Miss Lulu TOmlinson.
fo Franktou, finally defeated her oppo-
nent, giving the victory to Frankton
after a severe contest.
Prof. Thompson complimented both
schools on their good showing and is
highly in favor of such contests, be-
ieving they would be conducive of
much good to all the schools in the
county and hoped that such contests
might play prominent part IN the
school system of the state.
Odell school has challenged the win
ner Of this contest 50 we trust in the
near future Frankton and Odell may
cross swords in a similar contest.
Frankton has developed a home
grown poet who has composed the
following in commcmOration of this
event:
Say, Barrett, have you seen our spoilers
Anywhere about this place?
They spell their words like the wise
old fellows,
When they meet you face to face. -

"Frankton wins, Ha Ha,
Frankton wins, Ho Ho,
