THURSDAY MORXEfO, JULY 1, 1905. mv THE PITTSBURGH POST, DIVORCE HEARINGS END REALTY 1IET ACTIVE? THREE ftPARTWjENTS SOLD tan's' PERFECT Ml OPEC The American Medical Association, numbering over 65,000 members, is the largest and most influential medical body in the world. At the Association's annual convention, held at Atlantic City, June 1 0th, the following resolution was passed concerning the drugging of foods with Benzoate of Soda or other chemical preservative 44 Rp That the American TIedical Association respectfully urges upon Congress the necessity of amending the national puje food and drugs act in the following particulars, biz: "CO To prohibit absolutely and unqualifiedly the use of TJenzoate of Soda and similar preserbatwes in the preparation and preservation of foods destined for interstate commerce. "(2) (c), the prebention of the utilization of unclean and offensibe waste productions, which now, by the use of such preserbatibes are branded as foodstuffs and sent through the channels of commerce." Last week resolutions of similar import were also passed in the great conventions of the American Institute of Homeopathy (25,000 members), The Medical Society of New Jersey, and The Pennsylvania Pharmaceutical Association, All these resolutions express the most weighty opinions on the pure food question ever recorded. They constitute an unanswerable endorsement of the stand taken by Heinz Company and other reputable manufacturers for strict purity, sound materials, and sanitation in the manufacture of food products.

In the face of these far-reaching opinions, will the Government protect the people, or must the public continue to endanger health by the use of drugged foods Such foods are not only pronounced harmful because of a drug, but as indicated by the resolutions- they permit the use of refuse and waste materials. From drugged food there is only one protection read labels carefully. The law demands that every article of food prepared with Benzoate of Soda must have that fact stated on the label. Look particularly for obscurely-placed fine type, making some such announcement as "Contains of one per cent, Benzoate of Soda." Heinz Tomato Ketchup, Fruit Preserves, Sweet Pickles, Apple Butter, Mince Meat, do not contain Benzoate of Soda or any artificial preservative. These and all of Heinz 57 Varieties are prepared from fresh, pure materials, by clean methods, in open-to-the-public, sanitary kitchens which are visited and inspected by thousands annually from every part of the world, II.

BY ASSOCIATED PRESS. HAVANA. June 30.

The senate and house abruptly adjourned this evening. This was the final day of the regular session of congress, but no definite action was taken on the all-important question of the approval of the budget, In default of an agreement at an extraordinary session of the senate, which was called before midnight, the only recourse open to the president will be to declare operative the budget of 1908-09, in accordance with a provision In the law of executive power, which apparently conflicts with an article in the constitution, declaring that the budget Is only applicable In the year for which it was designed. The house yesterday approved the budget in Its entirety and it was expected that the Senate would approve it to-day. The latter body, however, after devoting much time to a bill legalizing cock fighting, which was passed, made sundry minor modifications in the budget, sending it again to the House, in the apparent expectation that the modifications would be accepted by the house, which, in the meantime, had adjourned. The adjournment of the house was not known until after the senate had also adjourned.

City to Pay Last of $1,400,000 Interest On Loan of $500,000 Money Secured 40 Years Ago at 7 Per Cent to Settle Miscellaneous Debts. Pittsburgh to-day will retire a loan of $500,000, after 1. 400,000 has been paid out in interest. The bonds are the last City of Pittsburgh securities outstanding which bear 7 per cent Interest.

In the intervening 40 years the city has paid $35,000 a year Interest, making a total of Jl.400,000, or nearly three times the amount of the loan. When the bonds were issued no provision was made for a sinking fund for their retirement. Subsequently, however, councils appropriated a certain sum each year until now there Is enough money laid by to pay off the entire loan. The city holds some of the securities.

The rest are scattered among a large number of holders. Club With Delaware Charter Is Raided; Manager to Answer West View Burgess Will Decide Question as to Liquor Selling in District.

Canada offers many ideal spots for vacation outings, far away from the dull routine of the office, the weary- round of the shop or store, and all of the perplexing problems incident to the strenuous scramble for the "Almighty Dollar." Pittsburghers are particularly fond of Canadian resorts; and it is a wise selection. Canada contains more of nature's virgin beauty than any other section of the earth within equal distance of Pittsburgh. The Highlands of Ontario, the Mus-koka Lake.s, the Kawartha Lakes, the Lake of Bays district, the Algonquin National Park, and the Georgian Bay district abound with delightful retreats where fishing is real sport.

The Temagami country is the fisherman's paradise. In Canada is found all the grandeur of the Scottish lakes; all the beauty of the English lakes; air the solemn stillness of the Alpine lakes, together with the rare mountain and forest scenery of a region untouched as yet by the hand of man. Convenient service between Pittsburgh and the Canadian resorts is provided by the through sleeping car to Muskoka Wharf via the Pennsylvania Railroad. This car leaves Pittsburgh week-days at i P. M.

and arrives Muskoka Wharf 6:05 A. where connection is made with steamers for all landings on the Muskoka Lakes. Connections are also made for Parry Sound, Algonquin Park, Temagami, Cobalt, and points north. An illustrated folder descriptive of the Canadian resorts with lists of hotels, rates of fare, and train service, will be furnished on application by Ticket Agents or Ja-s. P.
