What does it profit woman if she
gains a whole world of knowledge and
lose her own health? Young women
students and school teachers, eager,
ambitious, and full of energy, very Of
ten neglect their health in the struggle
to gain education. They eat INSULT
Gent food, and at irregular hours, they
allow irregularity of womanly funct-
ions to be established, and the result
is that they become chronic invalids,
with all their educations practically
worthless. There is plain road back
to health for such as these, marked by
the feet of thousands. 1t is the use of

Kissimmee must possess most
magnetic attraction. A party OF eight
people arrived on Monday who had
walked seven hundred miles to get
here. The party consisted of w. W..
Gillespie and wife, G. Gilbert and wife
and three children, and T. Chilston.
They have had a hard and weary jour
ney. Last October they left Joplin,
Mo-. with five others from Russelville,
Ark, in teams and with comfortable
outfit. They lost their horses in the
Arkansas swamps from exposure and
were forced to sell their outfit. After
enduring the sufferings of a severe
winter, they reached Memphis in
March. There they sent their heavy
stuff on by freight, and with a couple
of hand carts started on their long
tramp to Kissimme by way OF Biz
mingham, Montgomery, Jacksonville
and Sanford The men dragged the
carts and the women and children
walked, their daily march being about
Is miles. They reached LongWood on
June Is and stopped there to rest. The
other five are still there, but will be
down later.-Kissimmee Valley Ca

She vanished from the room and
left a sombre yellow glow; brilliant
orange lights flashed for a moment,
then all the air was blue, with fiery
spots of red that changed to dark and
darker brown, till blackness came with
glittering specks of gold, and as the
figure wholly disappeared her voice
was heard, like a distant warning, in

Brodesky started from his chair,
alarmed. 1t had been so real! He
looked about the room, where still

the departing figure. But there were

behold the woman who had talked

turned again towards his room and
his eve fell on his mornings work.
The sketch of the sheDherdess and

been dreaming, and Athena was the
Greek goddess that had come to chide
him for his Incidence in art and love

THE BEEF INQUIRY FINDINGS.
IHILE the great majority of patriotic Ameri
w cans would be glad to be able to accept the re
mort nf the heef inn11ir, court &c hra1 On III.

I IHILE the great majority of patriotic Ameri-
w cans would be glad be able to accept the re-
port OF the beef inquiry court as final on the
subject comparatively few of them will do so. Even
those who have not closely followed the testimony in
the case will find in the report itself sufficient cause for
dissatisfaction with its conclusions.
The court finds that OF the charges made
against the beef furnished by the packers were sus-
tained and says: The meat purchased for the army
was the meat OF commerce; both knds-refrgerated.
and canned-were such as are we'll known in both
hemispheres as commercial articles, OF which there
and has been a very large consumption, not only by
the trade generally but by the United States navy and
by the armies and naves OF Europe No reports of
the untness or unsuitaby OF the beef sent from the
United States forwarded to the War Department
by any general or officer serving in Cuba or Porto
Rico while operations in progress, were any
such reports received until more than month after
hostilties had passed Barring some defects of meth
DDS in inspecting the beef and the delivery to the sub
sstence department. the deterioration of the meat in
shipment was due to the fault of no one
From that passage in the report it would seem the
commission had fault to find with any one except
General Miles, who made the charges and the officers
who sustained him. Nevertheless it is said in another
passage in some instances some individuals failed to
perform the full measure OF duty" and it is added
The court can but characterize the action of the COM
missary general as unwarranted and reckless in that
he ordered the purchase Of such quantities
OF food that was practically untried and unknown
and the court so finds"
Thus in the selfsame report we have the contra
dictory findings; first, that the meat was of kind
having a large consumption not only by the trade
generally but by the United States navy and by the
armies and naves of Europe, and, second, that the
food of kind practically untried and unknown
There may be some way of reconcing the two find
ngs but it looks on the face as if the first were made
in order to lay foundation for censuring Miles and
the second for the purpose OF justfyng the Of

The only parties involved in the scandal who are
completely exoneraed by the report the beef con-
tractors is said OF them only that their beef
put up without any kind OF chemical preservatives
at all but that the large purchases for the OF the
military forces made the solicitation OF the
packers or in consequence OF efforts put forth by them
to sell their goods, but upon the initiative OF the

Theodore Kytka, the handwriting ex-
pert has shaken the dust of Willows
from his feet after giving the celebrated
Murdoch note several telling stabs, and
yesterday he Joined the men engaged in
the occupation of trying to send Peter
McGlade. late of the Street Department,
to prison. Kytka was put on the stand
early In the morning and occupied that
position until the close of the session On
taking the stand the writing expert was
handed the document upon which the spe-
cific charge of forgery is based and was
asked by the prosecution to give his opin-
ion as to who signed the receipt on the
back Of the document and who filled out
the various other signatures. Attorney
Patrick Reddy objected on the ground
that the document was not a legal one
and not relevant.
The objection was overruled and Kytka
said he was confident that the various
signatures We're in McGlade's handwrit-
ing. In order additional warrants alleged
to have been forged by McGlade were in
troduced over the objection of the de-
fendant and Kytka gave his opinion that
all were forged by the accused. Then
came the cross-eXamnation and it was
an unhappy one for Kytka. Kytka's love
of justice did not bring him into the case,
as is well known, and the fact of the
COMP lp6uSdllOIl lie was TO receive, IQe many
cases in which he had appeared and his
opinions found erroneous were brought up
and Kytka suffered. Finally the storm
broke when Mr.. Reddy asked the expert
how many ''tremors" in handwriting his
profession recognized. Kytka promptly
answered the tremor of imbecility, of age
and of fraud. He was asked to distin-
guiSh between the tremor of fraud and in
ebriation and before he could be stopped
said I'm the s96 warrant we have a per
feet example of the tremor of fraud -
Then Mr.. Reddy started for the expert on
the effects of ,'hold-over Jag common
drunkenness and champagne imbibing,
when the prosecution objected. After en-
joying a laugh at Kytka's expense the de-
fense turned its attention to other cases
in which Kytka had appeared and it de-
velOped that in q well-known will contest
100000 had been spilled around among the
experts and Kytka smilingly acknowl-
edged that he was ''in on the spill"
Then the defense asked for certain doc
uments in the possession of the expert to
prove how many times he had been found
mistaken in his views AS Kytka did not
have them in court an adjournment was
taken till this morning, at which time the
expert will try and redeem himself from
the imputation that he Is more often
wrong than right in his opinions of docu-
mentary signatures.

HOPE TO NEALL

Discovered.

Paper in a Bank Instead of in

Box.
LAY FORGOTTEN IN A VAULT
OF A MESSENGER is
FINALLY RECTIFIED.

The Neall case took an unexpected turn
yesterday morning New evidence of a
kind most important to the accused ha6
peen found and the court gave Mr.. ThorZ
ton until this morning to properly pre-
pare 1t for presentation. It effectually
dlsposes OF the charge relating to the
oVerdraft of $3.50, which it was alleged
showed upon the books of the California
Safe Deposit and Trust Company. where
Neall kept the funds of the exchange.
The new evidence was the sudden dis
covery of checks to the value of S426.
which had been placed in the vault of
the Safe Deposit Company instead of in
the bank of that institution.
1t seems that between January q and
January 80 of this year Neal called at
Dunne's saloon at Stockton and Ellis
streets and asked Pete Dunno to take
charge of some papers for him. 1t was
after banking hours, Neall explained, and
he wanted Dunno to look out for the pa
pers for that evening and in the morn
ing following to have them taken down
to the Safe Deposit Company and left
there. The company would know what
to do with them, NealI said. 1t would
save him an extra trip from the Pre-
sdio, he told Dunno, and Dunno prom
ised to look out for the envelope which
Neall handed him.
The next morning Dunno sent the en-
Velope down to the Safe Deposit by one
or MS DartenderS. and instead of leaving
the papers with the banking department
the messenger took them downstairs and
left them in storage in the deposit vaults
He returned the receipt to Dunno, who
left IT in the rack for Neall for some days
and then 1t was dropped into a drawer
1t was raked out with a lot of papers
last Saturday and Dunno at once sent il
to Neall. He notified Thornton and Thorrk-
ton secured the papers from the depo5A
company and found Neall just 1926 ahead
for he had already made good to the Gov
ernment all the checks represented.
NeaH had all along maintained that he
had never OverdraWn the account of the
exchange with the Safe Deposit Com
pany. Even in the face of the figures
showed him he was unwilling to admit it,
and all the time he believed the checks
just found were included in the state
the state of the exchange account He
had missed the checks and could find
them nowhere, nor could he find the bank
book which he had placed with them in
the envelope. and the sudden discovery
has cleared up what was to him a mys-
terry.
The charge was that NeaH had over
drawn the exchange account to the
amount of $3.50. This amount he made
good and now by the finding of the checks
It appears the account really owed him
$276
All this was explained by Mr. Thornton
for time to present the evidence of this
discovery. IT has no bearing on the other
charges and specifications but it lightens
the load on NeallS shoulders and makes
more forcible the denials which he has
submitted to the court on other charges
