AS we are by nature subject to many

attacks on our health is to make a study
of our own physical self.
If a peculiar pain attacks you, try to
locate its origin and discover which organ
of the body is sick and in need of at
tention.
If the kidneys are at fault-and in al
most every case in the failing of our
health they are--looi we'll to their res
toration to health and strength.
They are the great filters of our body.
and, consequently, the purity of the blood
is entirely dependent on their cleansing
powers
If the kidneys are not in a healthy con-
dition, the blood becomes impregnated
with impurities and decay of the kid
neys soon takes place. If your desire to
relieve yourself of water increases and
you find it necessary to arise many times
during sleeping hours, your kidneys are
sick. AS they reach a more UNI ealthy
stage, a scalding and irritation takes place
as the water flows, and pain or dull ache in
the back makes you miserable. If your
water. when allowed to remain undisturbed
for twenty four hours, forms a settling or
are in the grasp of most serious kidney
disorder.
II neglected now the disease advances
until the face looks pale or sallow. puffy
or dark circles under the eyes the feet
swell and sometimes the heart acts badly
There is no more serious menace 10
health and strength than any derange-
ment of the kidneys.

2!2S p. M, and the commanders chief

shot away then, by Myers army code,
In conclusion Admiral SchIey contends
that the turn of the Brooklyn in the battle
OF the third was the crucial and deciding
feature of the combat and of decided adj
vantage.
Furthermore, he says, it is a mistake
to say that the vessels distance from
the enemy was increased to the extent
OF 500 yards and adds Though this may
not be OF record it is fact neverthc-
less
He cites the fact that the charts of the
board of nngigators shows that the Brook
iyn was nearest when it merged from
the harbor at that stage of the battle and
nearest the Colon when it'surrendered.

General Miles left the witness chair. and
Lieutenant Colonel Van Horne OF the Thlr-
teenth infantry was sworn. He said he
was at the outbreak of the war major OF
the Twenty second infantry and was
through the entire Cuban campaign. Wit
ness said he had used all kinds, canned
eorned. refrigerated and canned roast beef
He said the criticisms of the canned roast
beer began early and We're made often. IL
was objected to on the score of its lack OF
nutrment. It's taste and its appearance
Witness had eaten some of the refrigerator
beef which arrived In camp untainted and
found that good. The men ate 1t without
complaint, and he had no reason to believe
it was any different from the beef he had
gotten at army posts in the Safes.
Lieutenant Colonel Charles w. Minor,
OF the Sixth United States infantry, was
the next witness. His regiment was among
the first to leave Camp Thomas and TO
camp at Tampa. They reached Cuba and
discmharked on June 22. Canned roast
beef was issued as a travel ration when
they left Tampa and until the end OF the
sioge. II was replaced with refrigerated
beef after the surrender. Meantime. he
have been furnished during the siege.
Complaints against the canned beef he
came general about July .. He sail. he
was using IL and when opened 1t was APP
parently fresh, but absolutely without
nourishnent and when cut 1t fell TO

ton. His regiment was in good ccndi-
| ton until July 8, Then it dcteriorated sud
! denly and generally. When they became
weak and sick the men did not want
meat
Asked II during the siege he had made
an effort TO get other meat he said he had
not; that they merely waited for what was
brought up from behind, a distance of eev-
en- miles, They had no discretion--nu
choice in the matter of rations.
Examined as to refrigerated beef. he
declared it was excellent and no COM
plants about Il were heard Only Que
quarter was spoiled. He was unable he
said, TO detect any difference between the
refrigerated beef issud in Cuba and that
which had been issued at the posts In tns
country nj which he had been stationed.
Major General Henry jackson. Third
cavalry who was with his regiment
throughout the Santiago campaign, said
his experience with the canned roast beef
began aboard tho transport en- route for
Cuba and continued until his return to
