eases of sight being restored as the result
of an accident occurred here. Leslie
Combs, in a fight on a Paris-Lcxington in
.terurban car with an unknown man, was
almost slashed to ribbons. Combs has
been totally blind in one eye for several
years, and in the fight with the stranger
was cut across the face several times. To.
his intense surprise Combs is able to see.
as well as ever Local physicians attribute
the recovery OF his eyesight to the fact
that some nerve OF the eyeball which had
caused the blindness was severed.

GEN. MILES COULD TELL.
Declares Thousands of Soldiers Die from
Embalmed Meat.

KANSAS CITY. Mo-. June 4.-Gen.
Nelson A. Miles, who is here on his way
to Colorado to address state university
students, said last night:
The disclosures about beef and other
packing house products now being exploited
are no news to me. | knew it seven years
ago. l told what l knew them. Had the
matter been taken up at that time thou
sands of lives would have been saved The
adulteration of food products is the colossal
crime of the times.
believe 1000 United States soldiers lost
their lives because of adulterated. impure,
poisonous meat. There is no way of eSti-
mating the number of soldiers whose health
was ruined by eating impure food
l have a barred of testimony on the sub
ject in the way of afidavits that / collected
when ! made my investigation seven years
ago. The investigating committee closed
the case and refused to hear 1000 witnesses
whom I had ready. At that time l could
have secured the testimony of 100000 meIi
that canned meat sold to the army, was i'm
pure, adulterated and wholesome.
In my investigation of "embalmed' beef
during the Spanish American war | found
that poisons We're being used TO preserve
meat I learned from the report brought
10 me that canned meats had been sold to
the army that had been for months i'll the
warehouses of the Baltimore & Ohio rail
road and at the docks in Liverpool.
IhlS meat had been relabeled and sold to
the United States for soldiers rations. /
turned the reports over to the war depart
ment and embarrassing investigation was
instituted and successfully carried out. The
had been made. AS matter of fact, it
was colossal fraud. and the persons who
perpretrated it and were interested in it
shouId nave been sent to the penitentiary.
