After many months of treatment and growing steadily worse, I de cided to try 8. S. 8. which was so strongly recommended. The first bottle produced an im provement. I continued tbs medicine, and In four months the last llt- tle scab dropped off. Ten years have elapsed, )t a sign of the disease has returned.” E. F. Williams, Uillsburg, Miss. It is dangerous to experiment with Cancer. The disease is beyond the skill of physicians. 8. 8. S. is the only cure, because it is the only remedy which goes deep enough to reach Cancer.

REPUDIATES INTERVIEWS Printed Report of Ills Statement to Hie War Investigating Coiiiinisslou Approved by the Witness, but News paper Stories Denied. Washington, Feb. 20.—The court of inquiry to examine into the beef coutro- versey assembled at the Leiuou build ing shortly after 10 o’clock this morn ing, preparatory to its first formal ses sion. Brigadier General George W. Davis and Colonel George B. Davis, re corder and judge advocate, were first to arrive. Major General James F. Wade, presideat of the court, came later, and at 10:35 the court, in full dress uniform, proceeded to the White House, where it paid its respects to the president and then to the war department, where it called upon Secretary Alger and Major General Miles. Meantime representatives of the press, who were accorded places in the court room, had assembled and on the outside were many other correspondents and a number of artists specially detailed to attend the inquiry. During the morn ing several army officers, who aro in the city as witnesses, repor^d to Col onel Davis, the recorder, bift’ remained only a few minutes at the rooms of tho court. Tho court returned at 12:05 from its visits of courtesy and after two photog raphers made pictures of the court, Col onel Davis announced readiness to pro ceed and read tho order convening tho court, and its instructions. Following the reading of the order, which has been published already, Col onel Davis read a letter from Adjutant General Corbin in response to a letter from General Wade, president of the court, explaining more specifically tho lines along which the court was ex pected to investigate. Miles Hie First Witness. Tho court was then sworn and Major Geuorul Nelson A. Miles was presented as the first witness. Ho appeared in fatigue uniform and was sworn. After stating his rank and office, he was asked al#mt his statement before the war com mission. He said he made one and upon Colonel Davis’ submitting a printed re port of that statement, General Miles examined and approved it. Then he was asked about an alleged interview which appeui’ed in the New York Journal of Deo 23, whether it rep resented completely or in part what ho said. General Miles read it. General Miles said: “I do not recall anything in that in terview that had not been given in my testimony, or trunsmiited in my reports. You will observe It coutalus a number of my decimations to name officers or my authorities and refusals to msswsX questions. It must, therefore, be in correct in its representation.” He then commented upon the general slight inaccuracy of newspaper inter views owing to tho dependency of writ ers upon their memories. Hardly a day in six mouths had passed that an inter viewer had not applied and because of the kiuduess of the press to the army and especially the enlisted men, he had endeavored to give such Information as he thought wise and safe, but never, he said, with a view to prejudicing anyone against any person or department. Press Stories Not Correct. Finally General Miles said he did nol think The Journal interview represented correctly what was said, because itl contents should be taken in connection with all that was said, his silence upon some points aud speech upon others. Being asked about an interview from the Now York Herald of Feb. I, he said: “I have a letter from the gentleman who, I uudestand, wrote this, in which ho says he is willing to swear that I de clined to be interviewed and that, think ing something had been given out, he had proceeded to write what he knew were tho facts." He then pointed out that the inter view was erroneous, in that where it represented him to have said that he had overwhelming evide: that the re frigerated beef was treated'with chemi cals, the fact was that his only evidence was what was contained in the reports of officers and statements of men who claimed that the beef had the odor of an embalmed body, that they had seen fluid injected into beef and other indi cations of chemical treatment. Ho de clared the interview an erroneous pre- floatation of what he could possibly have said. Daughter Tried to Save Him.

MONEY IN STOCK RAISING Necessities of the Occasion, Sajrs the Agricultural Department Chief, Are Up to the lutelMgvut Laud Owner aud Cottuu Grower. Washington, Feb. 20.—Secretary of Agrivultute Wilson, in discussing today the productive possibilities of the south and tho problem of negro lator, made the following observations: “The pressing question is what is tho laborer down south, who has beeu growing .cotton and is not getting enough for his product, to do in the fu ture to enable him to live comfortably, not to speak of improvements iu his conditions, education and all that? The cotton crop leaves very little that is valuable for domestic animals after tho picking is done, thus differing l&>m tho corn crop of the northwestern states. There is a biproduct—the cottonseed— that is exceedingly valuable as a nu trient aud much good work is being done by scientists at experiment sta tions to show how valuable cottonseed is for feeding purposes. “The great cotton growing industry of the south is not up to date. The ni trogen contents is greater than that of any grain, it is richer in nitrogenous matter than peas cr beans, richer than gluten, meal or oil cake. The nottheru feeder and European feeders have been usings this biproduct of tho cotton fields with great advantage to them, whilo the loss of its fertilizing qualities to tho S'^’.th has 1/een very great. “Tho south has more marked advan tages over the north with regard to pro ductions. It has more heat and moist ure, the two great factors of production, and if the cotton grower is to diversify his crops, he must use those uaturlti ad vantages. “Tho dairy cow aud mutton sheep would succeed admirably iu tho south, but something for them to eat must be provided first. Cotton Growers Must Learn. “From a fifth to a fourth of all fat of all the milk on tho farms of tho United States is lost and people do not thor oughly understand when to churn cream. The churning process is au art having much science nuderlying it. But tho cotton grower of the south only needs to learn the way, while the wan who teaches him can understand the science. “Much yet remains to be discovered in the art of breeding animals, but enough L known to indicate to the in structor af the cottea grower of ths south, whs Is to he diverted Late vtefc of this $4*4, to eaabls him t# hr led his herd luieili-gently. “The south can prefers ths spring kmb much earlier tnau the north can. The southern land owner understands horse raising. There is always a greater demand for saddle horses than is sup plied. The world wauts carriage aud draft horses and good roadsters. Early spring chickens—tho broilers—can be produced down there because they have milder winters aud milder springs than we have and the northern market cun be supplied. Should tho market become oversupplied wo can send those products abroad in the refrigerated comport ments of our steamships. Negrucs In Diversified Labor. “There is a diversity of opinion iu the south as to the ability of the negro to be used iu diversified labor. The negro is learning the trades at Taskegee; he is mining coal aud working the manufac ture of iron at Birmingham. 8ome southern men whom you will meet will say that they have the best labor iu the world, and in some respects I am In clined to thiuk they have. “The south has reached the point that most of the states of the northwest reached years ago, when section a f J^r section had adapted itself to corn and wheat, the land refused to yield their crops aud the farmer was driven to seek diversification. Prosperity came to the northwest through diversificatiou of in dustries on the farm. I know of no other way through which it can come to the south. “It seems to me that the necessities of the occasion are up to the intelligent land owner. Ho should inform himself on these Hues. He should have done it years ago. Tho sciences which relate to agriculture would stand him iu good stead, wlul* his diploma from a literary institution is worth very little to him. It is nob too late. Improvement along these lines cannot be expected to orig inate with the laboring men of the south—it must begin with the men oi education. ” Silk Manufactories Burned. New York, Feb. 20.—Fire today did damage estimated at $100,000 ou the buildings in Broadway occupied by the spool silk manufacturing firm of Bold ing Bros. & Co, Hamburger & Hoh- mau, cigars; the Postal Telegraph com pany, Blums’ railroad ticket office aud Gnmeingor & Co., silk manufacturers.

If reasonable care is used, however, and Chamberlain’s Cough llemedy(taken, all danger will be avoided. Among the tens of thousands who have used this remedy for la grippe we have yet to learn of a single case having re sulted in pneumonia which shows conclusively that this remedy is a cer tain pYeventlve of that dangerous dis ease.
