ACTING SECRETARY
OF WILSON BUREAU
GETS DUNLAP NOTE
Assistant Gets Word Of
Withdrawal of Expert In
Pure Food Board.

Acting Secretary of Agriculture willet
NJ. Hays, today has accepted the reisg-
nation of DR.. f. l.. Dunlap, of the Bu-
reau of Chemistry member Of the Pure
Food Board, to take effect Septem-
Der Is.
No successor to DR.. Dunlap In the
bureau or on the Pure Food Board will
be named until the return to Washing
ton of Secretary Wilson, the latter part
OF this month. / was away yesterday"
said Acting Secretary Hays, land did
not receive DR.. Dunlaps resignation
then, and 1t was not given out from my
office"
When DR.. Dunlap steps out September
10, there will be two vacancies In the
Bureau of Chemistry. no successor to
DR.. Wiley having been appointed as
yet DR.. Doolittle will continue to act
as chief of the bureau, and the food
board will act with two members, Drs.
Doolittle and Mitchell.
Comment on DIR. Dunlap's resignat ton
in many quarters today was to the
effect that the way is now clear for
strict and vigorous enforcement of the
pure food and drugs act.
/ DIR. Dunlap's resignation follows the
retirement OF Solicitor McCabe from
the pure food board, some time ago.
These two men, Solicitor McCabe and
DR.. Dunlap, are the officials who, ac-
cording to the accusations of DR.. Wiley
and his friends, persistently stood in
the way of the strict enforcement OF
the pure food law after the manner
which DR.. Wiley advocated.
whether pressure was brought on DR..
Dunlap to resign is not disclosed. He
has quit the service under circumstan-
ces favorable to himself inasmuch as
he will go with a chemical company in
Chicago at a higher salary. DR.. Dun
laps efficiency as a chemist has never
been questioned here, but there was a
strong disposition to criticise his bent
Of mind on the question of interpreting 6
the pure food and drugs act.
with DR.. Dunlap out and Solicitor
McCabe no longer member OF Che
pure food and drugs board, President
Taft and Secretary Wilson have II in
their hands to provide for stringent
pure food law enforcement after the
manner approved by the advocates of a
rigid policy in that regard. The matter
of selecting a chief chemist is of the
utmost Importance. What is needed is
man who Is at once respected in the
scientific world for his attainments as
a chemist and who is an able and fear
less administrator.
1t was supposed the President be-
fore this time would have appointed
DR.. Doolittle as head OF the Bureau OF
Chemistry. But for some reason he is
delaying the appointment. and ii is said
now the matter will not be settled for
some weeks. Influences are at work to
bring about the appointment of some
other man. The danger is that the food
manufa cturing interests will succeed In
inducing the President to name some
man who, while OF renown as a chemist
will be valueless in protecting the public
against infractions OF the pure food law
by manufacturers

SAYS EARLY HAS NO
GROUND FOR INCREASE
Health and Hospital Service May
Take Hand If He Asks
Larger Pension.

Should John Ruskin Early. the leper,
ask the Pension Office for larger pen
sion than that he now is getting, on the
grounds that he is in need Of aid and
assistance" the Public Health and
Marine Hospital Service may take a
hand.
According to an official of the Public
Health Service today Early has no
grounds for asking a bigger pension. In
addition to the $50 n month he gets as a
pension the Government pays him about
$50 a month additional to care for P.
Joehansen. another leper on the Dian

Early gets good pay for what he
does and Is well cared for. He not only
gets a good salary, but gets his house

A Word to Women
on Health Matters

Women are generally careful about
the state of their health, and they are
apt to make good use of remedies
known as disease preventives. Germi-
cides and antiseptics are included in
this class, but the greatest care should
be exercised in using any which con-
tain poisons, unless prescribed by a
physician.
BY reason of its absolute safety and
it's beneficial results, physicians gener-
ally have strongly recommended Tyree's
Antiseptic Powder. 1t is unequaled as
a preventive of contagious disease, un-
surpassed as a douche, and highly eff
ficacious in avoiding infection, healing
diseased tissues, ulcers and delicate
membrane passages, ideal and delicate
for deodorizing purposes. A twenty.
five cent package makes 2 gallons
standard solution. Sold by druggists
everywhere. Send for booklet and sam
pie. ]. S. Tyree, Chemist, Washing

The Bull Moose movement, which Is
spreading into every section of the coun-
try, has reached the Cabinet itself. A
remarkable story that there Is disaffec-
tion on the subject Of Roosevelt in the
highest Administration circles gained
currency today.
Secretary Walter Fiser, of the Interior
Department, is named as the particular
member of the Cabinet who has been
strongly moved by the sentiments of
Progressivism. He is said to be too
strongly inclined to Roosevelt to be of
any political value to the Taft cause in
this campaign.
The story of the attitude of Secretary
Fisher is the more interesting in view
Of the report that members of the Cabi-
net in the next few weeks will take the
stump for their Chief 1t will be worth
while witnessing just how far Mr.. Fish
er gets on the stump and what he says
If he does go oat into the campaign.
Has Business In Hawaii.
The word that Secretary Fisher had
Roosevelt leanings came out first in
high official society and came to the
ears of prominent Administration
office-holder. He proceeded to go to
the White House and advise Secretary
Carmi Thompson about It. Apparently
there was nothing to do. Mr.. Fisher
had not committed any grave overt
act of hostility to the Administration
and couldn't very we'll be punished for
his leanings toward the Progressive
party. Besides, If row were kicked
up about 1t and Mr.. Fisher hauled over
the Goals, and thereupon he should re-
sign, that would be q worse kettle OF
fish than ever.
All the same, 1t Is noticeable that
Mr.. Fisher has had most urgent busi-
ness in Hawaii. He wanted to get
there so badly that when he got to
San Francisco he broke over the law
that relates to the carrying of Ameri-
cans between the mainland of Hawaii
on American vessels and had to pay
fine for doing 1t. He will be gone
for some weeks, will not get back until
next month, and when he does the
fight will be so near over that It will
be too late to do much in the way OF
getting Progressives converted and in
ducng them to walk UP to the mourn
