Give the Children a Drink

Called Grain-O. 1t is a delicious, APP
petizing, nourishing food drink TO
take the place of coffee. Sold by all

The T:eef scandaIch.rges.

The beef inquiry board left for
Omaha last night and will return TO
Chicago next Tuesday or Wednesday.
DUrin" its week session in Chicago
the commission, according to the
Times-lIerild, which has the credit of
being near To the situation, deter
mined the following points in the
beef
l. That Chicago packers did not
chemicalizc or embalm army or other
beef.
:. That Gen. Eagan, late commits
sarv L. s. a. IS responsible for the
costly experimental use of canned
roast or boiled beef in the army.
3. That Chicago packers did not in
lluence the commissary department in
its selection of canned or refrigerated
meats.
/. That the commissary depart
ment under Gen. Eagan was badly
handled, the troops either insullicient-
lv fed or furnished unwholesOme food,
and that great suffering and disease
was caused thereby. And the Times
Herald SAYS:
The final report of the commission
will not commend Gen. Miles for in
iudicious talking but his criticism
OF the commissarv will not he found
without foundation"
Evidently the startling and con-
vincing evidence that was submitted
To the court Yesterday by volunteers
in the war with Spain as TO the
stringy. nag@ot-infected beef fur
nished the soldiers for food, and the
fact that chemically treated canned
roast beef was found in cans of well
known packers i, according to the
-urmise of the mouthpiece of the ad-
ministration. not TO be taken into
consideration. but we do not believe
this OF Gis!uterested commission Of
regular army officers.
The defence principally seems to
he that verdict for Miles, truthful
verdict would hurt the beef bust
ness. would touch the pockets of the
beef combine. That's the business
side. II old. condemned and unfit
uccf was furnished the bows in blue
by citizens Of the United States, who
for profit sacrificed or ieOpardized the
life and health OF the soldiers. then
such citizens should be banished from
the soil. That's the other side. and
it is the side the great mass of the
people want TO know about.
