Washington, January 21.-Paymaster
thomas H. Hicks, U. S. NJ, assistant store:
keeper at the New York navy yard, was a
/ witness before the war investigating COM
/ mission today He testified that the timed
roast beef was satisfactory in the navy,
|gw1s palatable and good and that he saw
/, no reason why 1t should not be a good
emergency ration for the army, as 1T was a
regular ration In the navy. Asked what
Y proportion of the ration in the navy the
! timed roast beef forms, he said about one
seventh. .}5s n, M sN- n.
x. He had not noticed any difference in the
! mate. can, he said, syould last some
hours after opening. He admitted that
gthet Il a good deal of beef that is not
liatable. Much of the beef at his yard
4 ~ come from Libby, MCNEIL G. Libby; it
swss generally satisfactory, but last June
~ had occasion to reject some they fur
( nished because 1t was dry and unpalatable.
tte demonstrated the methods of opening
= ne cans and two cans bought in open in
i open market at random were opened and
their contents tasted by The members of
sle commission. They declared it had u
4 good flavor and taste.
IS Pfrf. F. W. Clarke, chemist of the
y United States geological survey, today re-
A ported that his test of the powder fur
nlsned by Surgeon DAILY as being the
( les'duum from the boiling down of a por-
snon Of the condemned beef on the Panama,
disclosed the presence of both boric and
9silcylic acids; he could not say where
.ne powder came from; said boric acid was
unoplectionable and that neither had an
offensive odor.
asked as to the effect on health of using
\ Deei injected with the borac acid, witness
ssll y would be relatively harmless, but
snst tne use OF solicylic acid would be diff
s.slent and was prohibited by most Euro
4 Ieaa countries. The use of boric acid on
@sA.s furnished troops in his opinion
so.ia De OF very little Importance from
(. y usa'In view, but the salicylic acid would

.ssslsailyes, he said, was to make the meat
