Uttleii ProteiU Against Benzoate, Though
House Will Give it Hard Test.
Senator Murphy, of PhilafV-l-pliia,
called up and had passed f
na'ly in the Senate Monday the
"Pure Pood" bill which permits
the u.se of benzoate of soda in the
adulteration of foods.
This bill was killed last wck on
fit.al passage, the vote reconsidered
and it was on the postponed calen
dar. Mr. Murphy called it up and
made the first set speech of theses
sion in ths Senate, while Clarence
Wolf, "Jim'' McXichol and "UiT
Keyser, who never made a speech
in thefr lives, crowded about and
lis'ened in rapture.
Mr. Murphy read letters and
documents from distinguished sci
entists and chemical experts to
show that benzoate cf soda is not
injurious, and he quoted from the
report of Roosevelt's Pure Pood
Commission, which went into the
subject thoroughly, to support his
contention. , He declared that as a
friend of the workingmen, repre
senting the largest Senatorial dis
trict in the State, he would not
think of doing anything to injure
them. Here the three listeners
above mentioned looked at each
other and grinned.
Senator Dewalt, of Lehigh, who
originally voted against the bill,
said that when home he made in
quiries and found that a great ma
ny physicians and merchants want
ed the bill, and the dociors pro
nounced benzoate of soda harmless,
unless taken in large quantities.
On this account he had changed
his mind and would vote for the
bill. -
Senator Gerbench, of Lebanon,
who opposed the bill, said he had
gotten his information regarding
the njarious effects of the drug
from L United States dispensary?
timings, ,of Venango, wanted to
send the bill back to
committee
with instructions to strike out all
reference to benzoate of soda, but
the Senate voted down his motion,
and then passed the bill.
All the Philadelphia Senators
voted for the bill except Durham,
who was absent.
The bill now goes to the House,
where it will have hard sledding.

Coleman K. So'ier, of I,ewis
bunj, known the world over as the
"Chestnut King." has secured a
place which he considers ideal for
the developing of one of his well
known chestnut farms, The prop
erty was bought from Martin Luther
Sober, last week and consists of 165
acres of timber land, in what is
known as "Pine Swamp," in Cleve
land township, this county.
It is his intention to take off
what Unit or is marketable, and
then to clear the plot of all under
brush, and rotten limbs, etc After
this is done, he will commence the
planting of his "Paragon" chest
1 Ait trees, with which he his won
fame and fortune. It is his inten
tion to make this chestnut farm the
equal of his Northumberland coun
ty property.
In I1M1 Valley near Shamokin,
he has planted thousands of native
chetnut trees, upon which he has
grafted the Italian or "Paragon"
chestnuts. Last vear he harvested
3.000 bushels, all of which
were :
sold in the Sta
Chestnut Farm In Cleveland
ship.
t; of Washington for I is begun in this issue of the Com
rice of 6 per bushel. panion, and there are stories by Nel
the average price
started, and expects to graft 100,
000 trees on his farm there. The
balance he will sell to Glen Pros.,
a nursery firm, in Rochester, N. V.,
which has contracted to take all
the grafts he can raise. With new
trees coming on this year, and a
good crop, there is no present
reason, he says, why the crop
ought not to exceed 5,000 bushels
on the farm.
The intention of Mr. Sober is to
eventually sell his chestnuts in all
parts of the country. He has had
his farm in Irish Valley about 10
years, and has made a great success
of it.
