WILL FARMERS Use BENZ0ATE
OF SODA TO TAME CIDER?
DR.. Harvey W. Wiley Pure Food Expert, Says To Do So
Will Cause Drink To Be Poisoned And Those Drinking
It Will Be Made Very ILL.,

When two hates clash what rum
pus! DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, pure food
expert, hates booze and he hates ben
zoate of soda. The Prohibition Com
missioner has ordered that, to pre-
vent it being used by the rummies
cider must be kept from becoming
hard by an injection Of benzoate Of So
da. Now hear DR.. Wiley:
He (the Prohibition Commits
sioner) forgets that benzoate of
soda is far more injurious to the
health of the drinker than the a
} mount of alcohol which would
naturally be developed in cider if
left to itself would cause.
In other words, in order to prevent
bucolic rummics from getting theil
hard cider, all people who really like
sweet cider, and they are numerous
are to be poisoned with benzoate Of
cider. No wonder DR.. Wiley, an origi'
nal dry, says that if such idiotic per.
formances are necessary to make Z
success Of the Volstead act, then he
is against the Prohibition law.
DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, of Pure
Food and Drug law fame, is Prohi.
bitionist. He helped powerfully in
putting the Eighteenth Amendment
over.
But DR.. Wiley sat in his office re.
Gently and expressed disgust with
the latest edict of the Haynes prohi.
hjtion unit which couldn't have beer
more emphatic if it had come from
the wettest wet in the country.
Dir. Wiley was referring to the pro.
hi ition units recent ruling that ben.
zo.te Of soda must be placed in sweet
cider as soon as it is made-to prevent
nature from turning the sugar to al.
cohol in natures own inimitable way
Cr. Wiley knows benzoate of soda
lie is probably the worlds greatest
au' hority on it and it's effects on the
human system. He took benzoate Of
soda. out of the the cryptic terminolo.

tees of Gamers and made it a house.
hold warning.
Sitting surrounded by countless vol.
unes of scientific works, DR.. Wiley
pounded on his desk and said:
IF prohibition has come to the
stageless apple juice to make the law
effective, the sooner the law is re-
pealed the BETTER" &
"What will the effect be?" he was
asked. "What, exactly, would be the
difference between drinking treated
and untreated cider?"
"Just the difference between being
mildly happy and very SICK the hoted
chemist replied. s"The sweetest ap-
pies grown will develop an alcoholic
content in cider from them of about
z per cent. The usual cider apples
will develop an to 5sper cent.

"But there is no food or drink in
use that will develop the dangerous
poison of benzoate Of soda to a great
er extent than cider. Because it is
acid, it frees the benzoic acid from
the soda salts and makes it very
active poison"
The prohibition units ruling pro-
vides that benzoate Of soda not
exceeding 4 to An avoirdupois ounces
to barrel of 81 gallons capacity
must be placed in the sweet cider as
a.on as it is pressed.
zone tenth of / per cent. will not
keep cider sweet for more than a
short time, especially in warm wealth
en-" DIR. Wiley said. cit would take
probably half of / per cent. to ar
rest fermentation permanently. But
even a tenth of per cent. will make
anyone drinking the cider very i'll, and
will do it very promptly"
DR.. Wiley sketched briefly the his
tory of of his fight on the use of this
poisonous preventative.
IF the Gamers had not been able
to override the Bureau of Chemistry, -
he said, ''the use Of it at all would
have been forbidden years ago. But
by manipulation and political ma
neuverings the condemnation of the
Bureau Of Chemistry was set aside
and the continued use Of it permitted.
"But the very fact that all manu-
facturers who use it in canned goods
are forced to label their product
with that information is an admission
by those responsible that they knew
its use was deleterous. AS matter
Of fact, few manufacturers use it
now; and few housewives will buy
anything containing it.
"Cider makers, however, will not be
forced to label their output as can
ners must. Many people, therefore,
probably will drink the treated stuff
without knowing what risks they are
running"
DR.. Wiley also recounted the ex-
periments of a fellow-worker in the
Bureau of Chemistry in 1908, when
the effects of this drug were first be-
ing examined. In this experiment,
the chemist chose cider because he
knew it would bring out the effects
Of the drug more strongly than some
other drinks.
Twelve healthy young men were
utilized in the experiment. DR.. Wiley
said. "They did not know what was
going on, having merely been invited
to a cider party Half of them were
given the treated cider and the other
half the untreated. Within an hour all
six who had drunk the treated stuff
were taken sick, with nausea and
vomiting"
eff this is what prohibition has
come to, it would be better to repeal
the law altogether"

appear as small cups. The cups open
and from each one several thousand
Of "a different kind of spores Is ex-
PEELED. This second spore is carried
by the wind until it reaches a wheat,
oat, rye, or barley field. There 1t set
ties ON The stem of the grain and in
eight or ten days 1t produces other
spores, which again spread.
Most of the barberry bushes are In
the cities and towns, many miles from
wheat fields. That does not matter.
The spores from the Burberry attack
many kinds of common grasses. In
Guiding squirrel grass and broom
grass. These are found growing In
lawns, along the streets, and In parks
and many other places about town.
One barberry bush In the heart of a
city as big as Chicago could give of
the spores that could travel in IL
short time to the countryside and in
feet hundreds of acres.
To reach the baiberry bushes the
spores from the winter stage of the
disease will be carried long distances
by the wind. There Is one instance
on record where 1t Is believed that
1t was carried GO miles. The spores
from the barberry probably 60 but n
comparatively short distance, but they
find lodging on grasses and the
grasses do the rest of the carrying.
The barberry bush was first known
among the IIimalayas of Central Asia,
where 1t still grows wild. II was
early known among the Hindus for
the medicinal properties its berries
possessed. Doubtless its bright red
berries and bright leaves attracted at
tention, and II was carried away to be
transplanted as an ornament.
1t came to America some time I'm
the Seventeenth century. Men have
long known that the barberry has
some connection with the black stem
rust OF wheat, but 1t has been only
In recent years that this connection
has been fully worked out and def
nitely proved.
In North Dakota law was passed
In 1916 prohibiting the planting of the
barberry ana requiring all barberry
bushes to be dug up. Following this,
Minnesota, Colorado and Nebraska
passed similar laws requiring that all
barberry bushes be dug up and de-
stroyed. Now the federal government
and the wheat states are cooperating
In the fight.
In states where energetic efforts
have been made to eradicate the bar
berry, the number of bushes found
was larger probably, than was orig
Inally expected. This was partly due
to the fact that many of them from
thirty to fifty years old we're so large
that nobody thought Of them as bar
berry bushes. Many of them were
from ten to twelve feet high and Of

sufficient circumference, almost. 10 as
sumo the dignity Of trees. As an In
dication of the numbers in which bar
berry bushes have been found. there Is
cited the estimate of $4,000 dug up In
Omaha.
After 100 years war on the bar
berry. western Europe has almost
completely annlhllated this pest, with
the result that the black stem rust
of wheat and other grains is no longer
serious problem there.
In fact, the common barberry Ii now
very rare in the agricultural districts
of England, France, Austria. Hungary.
Czechosloyakla, Germany, Holland
and Denmark and black stem rust Ii
correspondingly rare. There Is said
to be no question whatever that the
black stem rust has decreased In Inn
portance In proportion to the thor
oughness with which barberrles have
been removed. The evidence In Eng.
land and Denmark Is particularly con-
elusive.
The same thing seems to be true
throughout most OF France. II was Inn
possible 10 find black stem rust up
IN the middle of June except In the
Alps and Jura mountains. where there
still are a great many barberry bushes.
The relationship between the barberry
and the development OF rust was 50
evident that even the peasants knew
II thoroughly. The only reason the
barberries are permitted TO remain 10
because II would be practically lmpos-
sible to eradicate them and because
only a little grain Is grown.
In Italy black stem rust Is destruc.
tive only in the mountains and In the
northern part Of the country where
there are barberries. In the old Aus
tro-IIungariaE empire there was
law requiring the destruction of bar
berry bushes. and there usually Is
only little black stem rust except In
the billy and mountainous districts,
where the barberry bushes remain.
The same Is true OF Germany
Burberry bushes have been almost
completely removed from Denmark.
