SECRETARY WILSON
And THE BAD BEEF JOB
Declares His Sole Purpose Is
to DO Justice.
Injury to Our Trade if Charges Gt
Unrefuted.
The People VIII Soon Know How De
Iicious and Wholesome Canned
Beef Really Is.

1t is hoped that the inquiry set on foot
by Secretary Wilson, of the Agricultural
Department, will clear up the much mooted
canned beef controversy that has now
reached such a heated stage.
Secretary Wilson said this morning that
there was an apparent misconception IN
some quarters of the purpose of his work
He would not go into the refrigerated beef
matter. Whether the canned beef forced
upon the American army was good or bad
was the object in view now. The state
ments that this meat was unfit for con-
sumption by soldiers or anybody else would
in his estimation cost the farmers and
packers of this country more than the war
with Spain cost, and il was TO try 10 show
that these statements were unfounded, and
TO save the American industries the loss of
millions of dollars yearly in foreign trade,
that he had determined TO go fully into the
subject of how the meat was prepared for
canning and whether or not injurious
chemicals were used in putting 1t up.
Il have nothing 10 do with the Miles
Egan controversy, sid Secretary Wilson.
My object is to give the people at home
and abroad a true understanding of what
they are getting when they buy canned
DeGI. II Is an investigation wholly WITHIN
the province of the Agricultural Depart
ment. and whatever this inquiry develops
VI in due time be given unreservedly To
the world"
The men on whom Secretary Wilson re-
lies for d thorough probing of the matter
are W. o. Atwater. professor of chemistry
of the Wesleyan University. MiddIetoWn,
Conn. and DR.. Wiley. chief chemist of the
Department of Agriculture. Prof. AtwateI
viii examine into the nutritive value OF
canned beef, while DR. Wiley will deter
mine whether or not chemicals detrimental
to health are used in Its preparation.
Secretary Wilson was loud in his praise OF
the knowledge of these gentlemen in their
respective spheres. and expressed conf
dence in their ability TO demonstrate the
facts desired.
Prof. -Atwater has already submitted Z
report to Secretary Wilson. After Gutlin-
ing the manner of cooking, he holds that {
pound of canned beef has, on the average
much more nutriment than the same
weight Of fresh meat from which il j:
prepared
DR.. Wiley was out this morning buying
canned beef. He is TO obtain meats pu
up by the packers who had the contract Il
supply the army. He is TO purchase il
from various merchants here in Washing,
ton. The meat viii be tested 10 develop
whether il does or does not contain cham.
icals OF any sort.

Nervous Dyspepsia
To Gain Flesh. to Sleep Well, to
Know What Appetite and Good
Digestion Mean.
MAKE TEST OF STUART'S DYS-
PERSIA TABLETS.

No trouble is more common or more
misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia.
People having it think their nerves are to
blame and are surprised that they are not
cured by nerve medicines. The real seat
of the mischief is lost sight OF. The
stomach is the organ to be looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have
any pain whatever in the stomach, nor
perhaps any of the usual symptoms OF
stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia
shows itself not in the stomach so much as
in nearly every organ. In some cases the
heart palpitates and is irregular; in others
the kidneys are affected. in others
the bowels are Constipated, with head

The stock market opened this morning
as il had been expected to after the close
on Saturday. There were large orders to
buy in many stocks, and for the first two
hours prices were pushed up steadily. The
indications were that the close would be
at good advances from the opening. There
was noticeable especially good buying in
the lower priced railroad shares, and
movements were begun in two or three
stocks that have been comparatively dead
for several weeks. There were good indi-
cations that the leaders of the market were
to certain extent dropping the specialties
that have had. the best recent rises and
getting into the railroad stocks with good
prospects. This move on their part was
predicted by many on Saturday, when the
banks disseminated against one or two
stocks that have been ballooned recently.
On til. whole, the outlook is favorable for
| a continuance of the bull market for sew
eral days yet, unless the unforeseen oc-

with shining green scales, and glided
madly about the water looking for the
person who had dared to disturb him,
the Prince ran nimbly toward the wa
terS' edge and threw number of SOM
ersaults, revolving with great speed.
The serpent opened its mouth. So ex-
actly had the Prince calculated that he
fell-fairly spun-through the serpent's
rows of sharp teeth and down into the
monsters dark throat before the SER
pent, who was much surprised, thought
to shut his mouth. The giant looked
on with great wonderment expressed
on his face Suddenly the serpent be-
gan to thrash the water violently and
to make a very loud barking noise, as
if in pain. The giant saw a sharp
steel point dividing the green scales
upon the serpent's body. Then the
hand of the Prince, and then his arm
and then his body came into view.
In among the reeds fell the Prince.
Diving deep, he came up near the shore
and ran up the bank to the giant.
Now it is your turn said the Prince,
'let us see how much better giant can
do than a poor little fellow like me. 1
am sure that you will make me quite
ashamed"
The giant had not expected to see the
Prince alive again. Big as he was, Lee
jundire was afraid of the serpent But
he could not allow the Prince to laugh
at him, for giants are very vain and
so he said that he would now show the
Prince a new trick worth two of any
the Prince could perform. So saying,

THE COTTON BAIL.
BY CONSTANCE HOPE,
SALT LAKE CITY,

WAS little cotton ball, and grew
on a cotton plant. One day was
taken from the. plant and put into
a basket and carried to a factory
and made into cotton goods. Then
they took me to a store and put me on
a shelf and kept me there for six
months and sold me for so cents a yard.
A lady came one day and took ME home
and made me up into a dress for a. little
girl whose name was Julia. l was cut,
and then was sewed up on the machine
One day the little girl took me and put
me on and a little while after she was
eating an orange and she got a spot on
me. Then she took me off and put me
in closet and the next day she came
with soap and water, but could not get
the spot off.
The next day she got some gasoline
and it came off. Then she wore me on
Wednesday and Sunday, and at last the
girl wore me out and put me in the rag
bag; and one day a ragman came and
took me to make paper out of me, and
took me to a store and they sold me
to little girl and she wrote a letter
to her sister, who tore me up and put
me here, and now do not know where
l am in this lonely place.
