war department officials and army of.
ncers dld not care to be quoted upon the
subject but the comment generally
among army officers was that the troops
who had been fighting SO long and con-
tlnuousiy, are exhausted and were
really in need Of rest. 1t was explained
that the men did not fear fighting, but
after fighting and marching and con-
etant picket duty, they were no doubt
much exhausted. Some army officers
suggested that the action Of. the Ne.
braska regiment was like "A town meet
ing. and that the army could not be
conducted upon such lines. Comment
was made to the effect that the dis.
patches indicated that the various reyi.
ments were on duty. constantly. and
that there was no reserve to relieve
them vixen they reached the limit OF
endurance. 1t was said by an official
Of the depart,yent that one reason why
il had been impossible to relieve the
volunteers with the regulars now at Ma
N!ia. was because the regulars recently

unframed and lacked the discipline OF
the volunteers who are now veterans.
IL Is believed that General Otis does not
care to risk the hard fighting to untried
men. and that he desires the volunteer

MUCH POISON IN OUR FOOD.
Startling Evidence Before the Food Cor
mission.

Startling Evidence Before the Food Com.
mission.
CHICAGO, May l3.-Before the senate
pure food commission four prominent
witnesses testified as to the effect on the
human stomach of the use Of anti-sep-
tics and "embalming fluids and pre-
seryatives in foods and drink. In gen.
eral they were agreed that the sub
stances used were deleterious and that
in many cases they were poisonous.
Either prohibit their use, they declared,
or compel the manufacturer and user to
brand them plainly and explicitly, so
that the consumer may know exactly
what is being eaten. These witnesses
| were Henry G. Piffard, a New York
! physician: Abbott c. Prescott, dean of
the school of pharmacy of the Univer-
sity of Michigan and professor of hygi-
enic chemistry: Victor c. Vaughn, dean
of the medical faculty of Ann Arbor
and professor of hygiene, and H. c.
Adams dairy and food commissioner in
Wisconsin.
Commissioners Make . Statement.
DIR. Piffard made specific references
to foods and drugs which were being
generally adulterated, sometimes with
dangerous results to the consumer. The
commissioners made this statement at
the close of the day:
"The things which seem to stick out
above the details of the investigation
are the facts that antiseptics are used
;ndiscriminately and to defraud and
deceive, that they are in most cases
deleterious and in some positively dan
gerous. Second, that in the absence OF
explicit labels dishonest manufacturers
are enabled to put spurious goods on the
market. These things will be looked
after in the proposed legislat,on."
