THEORIES ABOUT FOOD.
Also Few Facts On the Same Sub
 Ject.

We hear much nowadays about health foods and hygienic living, about vegetar- ianism and many other fads along the same line.
 Restaurants may be found in the large cities where no meat pastry or coffee is served and the food crank is in his glory, and arguments and theories galore ad vanced to prove that meat was never in tended for human stomachs, and almost make us believe that our sturdy ancestors who lived four score years in robust health on roast beef, pork and mutton must have been grossly ignorant of the laws of health.
 Our forefathers had other things to do than formulate theories about the food they ate. A warm welcome was extended to any kind from becon to acorns.
 A healthy appetite and common sense are excellent guides to follow in matters of diet, and a mixed diet of grains, fruits and meats is undoubtedly the best.
 As compared with grains and vegeta bles, meat furnishes the most nutriment in a highly concentrated form and Is digested and assimilated more quickly than vegetables and grains.
 Dr. Julius Remmson on this subject says: Nervous persons. people run down in health and of low vitality should eat meat and plenty of it. If the digestion is too feeble at first 1t may be easily cor
  pepsia Tablets after each meal. Two of these excellent tablets taken after dinner will digest several thousand grains of meat, eggs or other animal food in three hours. and no matter how weak the stomach may be. no trouble will be ex- perienced if a regular practice Is made of using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, be- cause they supply the pepsin and diastase necessary to perfect digestion, and every form of indigestion will be overcome by their use
 That large class of people who come under the head of nervous dyspeptics should eat plenty of meat and insure It's proper digestion by the daily use of safe. harmless digestive medicine like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets composed of the natural digestive principles, pepsin, diastase fruit acids, and salts, which ac- tually perform the work of digestion. Cheap cathartic medicines, masquerad- ing under the name of dyspepsia cures are useless for indigestion as they have absolutely no effect upon the actual d. gestion of food.
 Dyspepsia in all it's many forms Is simp- ly failure of the stomach to digest food and the sensible way to solve the riddle and cure the dyspepsia Is to make daily use at meal time of a preparation like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. which is en- dorsed by the medical profession and known to contain active digestive prin- ciples.

THE RETROGRADE MOVEMENT
Admiral Schley Explains 1t During
Cr0ss-ExaminatiOn

Au"1TAA SCAAey pains During
Cross-Examination
Washington. Oct. 30.-The cross-exam-
ination Of Admiral Schley was continued
throughout the session of the court Of
inquiry Tuesday. The progress made was
exceedingly slow. Practically the whole
day was consumed in questioning the ad-
miral about the cruise from Cienfuegos to
Santiago and the motives and influences
that governed him in turning back after
his squadron had arrived in the vicinity of
the latter port This latter branch of the
cross-examination had not been concluded
when the court adjourned. The blockade
at Santiago, the reconnaissance on May 81
and the battle of July still remain to be
covered.
The judge advocate in conducting the
cross-examination used carefully pre-
pared typewriter list Of questions. They
called for comparison of statements Ad-
miral Schley has made either in his direct
testimony, in his communication to the
senate or In his dispatches to Admiral
Sampson or the navy department; with the
testimony Of witnesses who have preceded
him and the logs and signal books of she
other vessels Of the fleet.
The main points to which the cross.ex.
animation was directed were the ability
Of the ships to coal off Cienfuegos and the
reasons for what Is known as the retro
grade movement" The latter point was
dwelt upon with much emphasis and detail
and had not been disposed Of fully when the
court adjourned. The admiral gave three
reasons for turning back: First. the state
ment of Capt. Sigsbee, who commanded the
scoutship St: Paul, that the enemy was not
in Santiago; second, the opinion of Nunez.
the pilot. that the entrance was too narrow
and shallow for the Spanish ships to en-
ter, and. third, the ambiguity Of the de-
partment's telegram. In the course Of the
cross-examination the admiral said he re-
garded the departments dispatch rather as
a suggestion than as an explicit order, a
suggestion which he carried out after the
sea had abated and the coal supply Of the
ships had been replenished !. ~

FACES JUDGE LEMLY,
Admiral Schley Under Severe Cross.
Examination.
Is Closely Questioned ON All His
Actions from Time of Joining
Sampxon'z Squadron TIL
After the Battle.

Washington. Oct. 2G.-When the Schley
court of inquiry adjourned Friday Admiral
Schiey had not completed his testimony
in chief. He took the stand about u:3(
o'clock, after former witnesses had been
recalled for the purpose OF making correc-
lions in and additions to their testimony,
and continued his statement until the court
adjourned at $40 p. m. The chief event OF
the day was the admirars relation of the
events of July 5, when the American fleet
sent Cervera's squadron to the bottom OF
the sea or to the beach. He told his story
and in unaffected style, but the narrative
was straightforward and to the point, In
dicating close familiarity with all the
phases of the event. He said that the
Brooklyn had for a time sustained the fire
of all four Of the Spanish ships and also
the fire of the Spanish land batteries. En-
planning the historical turn of his own flag
ship, the Brooklyn, he said that she had
not approached to within less than COZ
yards of the Texas, and that he never had
considered that vessel in the least dan
ger. He also stated in response to an in
terrogation from Mr.. Rayner, that he had
never during the battle engaged in any col
loquy with Lieut. Hodgson and that he had
not used the expression attributed to him
by Hodgson This refers to the alleged COL
loquy in which the admiral is charged with
having said: Damn the TexaS! Ad-
miral Schley also gave the details of the
reconnaissance of May 81, when the Span
ish ship Cristobal Colon was bombarded
In this connection he denied the statements
attributed to him by Commander Potts, OF
the battleship Massachusetts,.
Continuing his discussion Of the coalins
situation. Admiral Schley said that a lib
eral supply was necessary. The enemy
would not come toward the Americans
but would go in the other direction Speak
ing of the collier Merrimac's breaking
down, he said this accident rendered coal
trg out of the question. Il don't believe
any prudent commander would have at
tempted to send a ship alongside an un'
movable collier to take coal. The risl
would be too great. The responsibility was
mine, and it was too great to take the
chances. I coaled at the earliest possible
moment
With reference to the arrival OF the Har'
