Here Dr. Daily introduced a joint re-
port made by DR.. Clark, chief chemist,
and DR.. Hildebrandt, chemist Of the

by them of residium from the beef used

In response to a general question,

or fifty persons had spoken to him in
confederation of what he had said.
These were the proprietors of slaugh-
tering houses and the manufacturers
of chemicals. One manufacturer had
told him that he would have been COM
PEELED to go out of business but for the
patronage of the beef men. He said
after some questioning that he would
ascertain whether he could give the
names of these people to the country.
Dr. Nicodemus, of Philadelphia, who
saw service in Porto Rico, corroborated
DR.. Days testimony comparing the
smell of the beef to the odor about a
dissecting room.

from Gen. Miles to supply the court
the names of a large number of the wit

SOME of our boarding housekeepers
complain that while everything they
have to buy has advanced and many
articles as much as 33 to so per cent.
they must accept the same low price
as when everything was at hardpan.
OF course we are unable to suggest a
remedy unless little advance in price
should be made and that does not
seem practicable at present. While
some of our housewives are very care
full there might be considerable saw
ing by buying supplies in larger guam
titles and general reform in the
method Of doing business. This could
be tried as an experiment at least.
