ESSENCE Of THE STEER.

Meat extracts have become steadily
more popular within recent years. es-
pecially for use by invalids. and the
quantities Of beef conaumed In their
manufacture are astonishing. One fac
tory in Fray Bentos. In Uruguay. uses
from 400 to 500 cattle daily for this
purpose, its output amounting TO about
5000 pounds OF the concentrated prod
uct per diem.
1t ID we'll understood that such ex-
tracts contain NO nutriment: . person
fed on unlimited quantities Of them
would soon starve to death. They hold
merely the flavor OF the meat. and.
while very palatable. are useful as a
stimulant. Beyond this. owing to their
palatability, they are good for dys.
peptics. encouraging tho secretion OF
the digestive Juices. and physicians
frequently prescribe them In cases OF
debility where the vitality OF the pa,
tient is at low ebb. ~
Experience has shown that the meat
of steers furnishes an extract Of dark

strong suggestion Of game flavor. The

ASKS FOR AN INVESTIGATION
RESOLUTION IN HOUSE REFER
RING TO RECENT EXPULSION
FROM WHITE HOUSE.

Washington, Jan. 9.-Representative
Shepherd of Texas has introduced a
resolution providing for the appoint
ment of a committee of Republican
and Democratic members of the house
to investigate the recent violent ex.
pulsion of an American mother from
the White House Offices and grounds
by executive officials and employees
while she was seeking an audience
with the president of the United
States"
committee on rules.
Mr.. Shepherd made the following
statement concerning the resolution:
Il introduce this resolution in the
name of American motherhood and
American womanhood. The occur
renee which is the cause of this reso-
luton was a violation of every senti-
ment that glorifies American manhood
and American chivalry. The brutal
treatment of this lady, who was but
acting within her rights, seems to me
to be outrageous and indefensible.
The American congress ought not to
permit the matter to rest without a
thorough and searching investigation.
1t involves the most sacred element OF
American life, the respect and rever-
ence which every true American citi
gen accords the American woman and
especially the American mother.
When the president of the United
States, with all the glamor of his
great office, steps into the presence
of an American mother he Is in the
presence of his superior. This action
of his subordinates should certainly be
Investigated"

oIficeaolderS VINO have proved fncom-
petent or who have been suspended
for corruption and dismissed or who
have been overcome by panic and have
aed from the isthmus. Every specific
charge relating 20 jobbery, to immoral
Ity or to ineffsoiency, from whatever
source 1t has come, has been imme-
diately investigated and in no single
Instance have the statements of these
sensation mongers and the interested
complainants behind them proved true.
The only discredit inhering in these
false accusations is to those who give
them currency and who, to the extent
Of their ability, thereby hamper and
obstruct the completion of the great
work in which both the honor and the
interest of America are SO deeply in
volved.
"Any attempt to cut down the sal
aries of the officials of the isthmian
canal commission or of their subor-
iinates who are doing important work
would be ruinous from the standpoint
of accomplishing the work effectively.
70 quote the words of one of the best
observers on the isthmus, 'demoraliza-
ton of the service Is certain ii the re-
ward for successful endeavor is a re-
iuction of pay"
In concluding the president said he
courted the fullest investigation of
canal affairs.

Washington, Jan. 9.-The letter oi

"The work on the isthmus Is being
admirably done and great progress
has been made, especially during the
last nine months. The plant is being
made ready and the organization per.
fected. The first work to be done
was the work Of sanitation, the neces
sary preliminary to the work of actual
construction, and this has been
pushed forward with the utmost en-
ergy and means. In short while
shall lay before you the recommenda.
tons of the committee and of the
board of consulting engineers as to the
proper plan to be adopted for the canal
itself, together with my own recon-
mendations thereon. All the work so
far has been done not only with the ut.
most expedition but in the most care
full and thorough manner and what
has been accomplished gives us good
reason to believe that the canal will
be dug In shorter time than had
been anticipated and at an expendi-
ture within it's estimated amount. All
citizens have a right to congratulate
themselves upon the high standard OF
Efficiency and Integrity
