same time he declares that he was not
in SCOTS military family No
student of military history is ignorant
of the important fact that Gen. Scott
and the entire army in Mexico were
deeply indebted to Capt. Lees superior
engineering skill and undaunted cour-
age for many of their great victories.
The official records show that Capt.
Lee was attached to the general staff
of the army" serving under Gen. j.
E. Wool, and for his skill and valor
was brevetted major. and lieutenant
colonel and colonel of the United States
Army.
l still contend, no matter what
young "Fitz" Lee has stated from
mere hearsay, that Gen Lees own dis
claimer stands" as against amy 9TH
er mans assertion" And l respectful
ly submit the veXed question of verac-
ity to Judge Emory Speer and Judge
Pope Barrow and Judge Thomas NJ.
Norwood, for settlement. Gen. Lee
admits that he served near the person
of Gen. Scott in Mexico, but was new
er member of his military family"
He officially served under Wool and
Worth. When Mrs. Lee left Arlington
House and the Union soldiers were de-
spelling her priceless heirlooms, did she
Col. Saussy says her husband served ?
Not at all; but she wrote to Gen. Nc
DoweH, with whom she had been ac-
quainted as her husbands associate
on the staff of Gen. Wool during the
Mexican war" In 1.-The Lives and
Campaigns of Southern Generals, this
statement can be found: I'm 1916, Capt.
Lee was attached to the central army
of Mexico as chief engineer, under
Gen. Wool, and he retained that posi-
ton throughout the whole campaign.
under Gen. Scott" Now. this explains
his being near the person of Gen.
during the entire Mexican war. No one
can successfully deny that Capt. Lee
was often near the person" of Gen.
Scott. the Commanding general" or
that he as often served under orders
direct from Gen. Scott. and reported
back to that officer still. the cold.
hard fact remains that he was never,
officially, a member of SCOTS staff.
This Is Gen. Lees assertion to me in
his own handwriting and is fully sus-
tanned by all the official army records.
Since penning the above / find that I
have erred in the punctuation of Gen.
Lees letter. He wrote: II never belong
ed to the military family of Gent
Scott, or served near his person except
when in Mexico" Now, he positively
asserts that he never" was on Scott S
staff. and then adds that he never
served near his person" except in
Mexico. The two assertions are distinct
and separate, there being no except
to the first. l will furnish Judges

FRIED ONIONS
Indirectly Caused the Death of the
Worlds Greatest General.

1t is a matter of history that Napo-
leon was gourmand, an inordinate
lover of the good things of the table.
and history further records that his
favorite dish was fried onions; his
death from cancer of stomach it is
claimed also was probably caused from
his excessive indulgence of this fond
ness for the odorous vegetable.
The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1902-02-16

The onion is undoubtedly a whole
some article of food, in fact has many
medicinal qualities of value, but il
would be difficult to find a more indi-
gestible article than fried onions, and
Ito many people they are simply poison,
but the onion does not stand alone in
this respect. Any article of food that
is not thoroughly digested becomes a
source of disease and discomfort
whether it be fried onions or beef
steak.
The reason why any'wholesome food
is not promptly digested is because the
stomach lacks some important Gle
ment of digestion, some stomachs lack
peptone, others are deficient i'm gastric
juice, still others lack hydrochloric
acid.
The one thing necessary to do in any
case of poor digestion Is to supply
those elements OF digestion which the
stomach lacks. and nothing does this
so thoroughly and safely as Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets.
DR.. Richardson in writing a thesis
on treatment of dyspepsia and indges-
lion. closes his remarks by saying
FOR those suffering from acid dyspep-
sla, shown by sour. watery risngs. or
for natulent dyspepsia shown by gas
on stomach. causing heart trouble and
difficult breathing. as well as for all
other forms OF stomach trouble. the
safest treatment Is TO take one or two
OF Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets after
each meal advise them because
they contain no harmful drugs. but are
composed OF valuable digestiyes. which
act promptly upon the food eaten.
never knew a case OF Indigestion or
even chronic dyspepsia which Stuarts
Tablets would not reach"
Cheap cJihartic medicines claiming
to cure dyspepsia and indigestion can
have no effect whatever in actively d.
costing the food. and 90 call any ca
thartic medicine Il cure for Indigestion
