RENzoATE of soda is not
the innocent" drug that
food manufacturers of a certain
class have tried to make the
public believe.
Benzoate of soda is the original
"ouster." 1t ousted DR.. Harvey
w. Wiley and DR.. Floyd w.
Robinson from their jobs in
the United States Bureau of
Chemistry.
These men proved, in poison
squad tests, that benzoate of
soda was a real poison that
should be barred by law from
all food products.
The manufacturers of benzoate
of soda financed certain food
concerns, lobbyists and politi-
clans to protect the future of
their embalming chemical which
was threatened with official
death.
So many politicians were mus
tered into the service of benzo-
ate of soda that President of
the United States was forced to
compromise with the strong
stand he had taken against it.
This compromise was brought
about by the declaration that
the ban against benzoate would
have to be lifted until a referee
board could check up on the
government tests and prove
them worthless"
The Secretary of Agriculture at
once ordered Dr.. Wiley to dis
continue all his experiments
with the drug, an order that ul-
timately resulted in his resigna-
ton. DR.. Robinson disobeyed

WARNING
Against Benzoate of Soda
ALFRED w. McCANN

the orders, and after again prov
ing the poisonous quality of
benzoate, was removed from
office for "the good of the ser
vice."
Since that time benzoate of soda
has been winked at by the pure
food officials of the United
States. Food manufacturers who
are ashamed of it have proved,
on a hundred occasions, that it
is wholly unnecessary where de-
cent raw materials, clean hands
and clean factory methods are
involved. ...
They have proved that its use is
a mere substitute for whole
someness and cleanliness and
that it is employed only to keep
makeshift compounds and
cheap connections from rotting
before they can be consumed.
Advertisements describing foods
that contain benzoate de-
iberately lie when they declare
that such foods contain only
such ingredients as are recog-
nized and endorsed by the
United States government.
The United States government
does not endorse the use of
benzoate. The politicians have
forced the government to toler-
ate its use, but they have not
been strong enough to compel
Uncle Sam to recall his regula-
tons requiring all food DOPE
sters to warn the public that
benzoate is present in their low
grade stuff.
The public should know by this
time that these warnings, invari-

FOR BRITISH ARMY
Churchill Tells Commons v0Iun-
teer Force Of 10000
Is Needed.

London, Feb. 24-Winston Spencer
Churchill. the war minister. has
asked the House OF Commons to put
its 80. X" upon an appropriation for
the British army in the amount OF
sO25 .O0O. 900.
This is nearly half a billion dollars
more than the last appropriation be-
fore the war, which was si45,00O.OOO
The future numerical strength OF
the British army-exclusive OF the
British forces stationed in India-will
be 100000. Mr.. Churchill said.
The war minister gave the size OF
the British conttngents outside OF
England. as follows:
Ireland before war, 25000)... $4,000
Palestine-white soldiers. oOoo
Indian soldiers. loooo
Egypt-white soldiers. ....... 5000
Indian soldiers. Ioooo
Rhine provinces .............. lo'ooo
Total ................... 600
Expenditures for future poison gas
tests are included in the army esti-
mates. proving that this weapon In
auguratcd during the war has come
to stay.
A "supertank" with speed OF
twenty miles an hour-the highest
ever attained by any OF the rumbling
monsters-has been introduced in
the British army. the war minister
announced.
Conscription in Britain will be abol-
ished on March 81, he said, adding
that England was the only nation 10
abolish compulsory service.

penditures provided for in the budget.
Mr.. Churchill declared:

tains one.fenfh of one per cent
benzoats of soda" are hushed
and smothered behind type SO
small as to hardly be readable.
Not only are the food manu-
facturers who do not use it
ashamed of it, but those who do
use it are ashamed of it, a fact
proved by the sneaking manner
in which they seek to hide its
presence by all sorts of trickery.
They take the most obscure
place on the label and by the
aid of border-lines and fine
print make the unwilling con-
fession wrung from them by the
hypocritical law that in one
breath says the stuff is unfit for
human food and in another per-
mits its use if accompanied by
a warning.
Why should the public be asked
to consume any chemical against
which a warning has to be is
sued? The public derives no
benefit from benzoate. Not
those who have to eat it but
those who employ it for the sake
of profit, selling it to others, are
its benefciaries.
Benzoate of soda is the badge of
inferiority. Like saccharine it
has its friends. Like saccharine
it is capable of fighting for its
life. Like saccharine it has no
legitimate place in any foodstuff
fit to eat.
If you want to be protected from
this odious embalming agent
from which you derive no bene-
fit, open your eyes and read the
labels. You have no other pro-
lection.
