suits from the use Of apple cider as a
preventative and a cure for small
pox. Six weeks ago IN attendant al
the pesthOuse in jerome discovered

the east and distributed 1t among his
fellow sufferers. Drs. Wood and
Kaull made tests with cider on othei
patients.
A pint each day in doses each hOul
drove away the eruption in from five
TO fifteen days and ten patients wert
cured and discharged within a month.
Other tests were made among the
Mexican residents along the inter.
national line, where there were many
cases Of a more virulent nature. In

BOOB NOT KILLED BY CADETS
Military Court of Inquiry Finds
Charges Against West Point to
Be Untrue.

WASHINGTON, April 2-The finding
Of the military court Of inquiry which
investigated the treatment alleged to
have been accorded to the late Oscar
L. Booz, a former cadet at West Point,
have been made public at the War
Department. The findings Of the
military court are summed up in a
letter written to Secretary Root,
which accompanies the report. Thi.
letter says:
"The findings Of this court Of in
quiry, which are sustained By the
evidence, show that the statements
which led to the converting Of the
court, to the effect that former cadet
Oscar L. BOoz came to his death by
reoson Of injuries received by hazing
at the academy, we're not true.
They show that, at the time Cadet
Booze was a member Of the academy
hazing was prevalent there to de.
plorable extent; that the present OH.
GERS Of the academy have shown com
mendable energy, zeal and efficiency
10 detecting and Furnishing Oiienses o.
this character, and that they greatly
decreased the practice and improved
the public sentiment among the ca
diets upon the subject"
