ARMY BEEF TESTIMONY.


Washington, Feb. as.-When the
army court of inquiry into the beef
charges met yesterday it expected to
begin the examination of some OF the
enlisted men Of the army who had not
only seen the beef furnished the army
in the field, but had eaten it in guam
titles, wherein they differed from the
most of the officers who had previously
testified The enlisted men who were
expected did not arrive till late and
the court went into secret session. A
party OF six enlisted men of the Ninth
infantry next appeared.
First SergL Howard Alexander tes-
titled that his regiment used both
corned and roast canned beef on the
voyage from Tampa to Santiago. There
were many complaints from the men
as to the canned roast beef 1t nau-
seated the men, had little taste aud ap-
parently contained little nutriment
The meat was not spoiled when the cans
we're opened, but they would not keep
from one meal to the next, so the men
divided In trios and three OF them got
one meal at least out of each can
The men finally got to throwing the
cans away or not drawing them, as
the meat frequently made them sick
as soon as they ate it. Witness was
not willing to say definitely whether
it was the canned meat or the malaria
that caused most of the sickness in the
regiment
Sergt Francis Kidd said much OF
the refrigerated beef was tainted and
nearly all the canned roast beef was
thrown away, but there were SO many
Of the men sick and.unable to eat that
The reduced ration went round very
we'll Further than this, Kidd said

refrigerated meat, and although there

The verdict Of medical science to-day goes to show
that the meats forbidden in the Old Scr;n

that Gods laws are never arbitrary but are wisely

OF mankind-not Jews alone. Moses said to Israel.
The Lord commanded to do all these statutes
for ours good always that He might preserve us alive
as at this day.'-Deut. vi:24 God could not pre
serve them in life and health if they persisted in pois

puts the patient on careful diet, strictly forbiddng
pork or lard or highly seasoned dishes If such liv

An agricultural paper says, the pig may be made
