Little
Pimples Turn
to Cancer.
Cancer often results from an im
purity in the Mood, inherited from
venerations back. Few people are en
tirely free from some taint in the blood,
tnd ft is impossible to tell when it will
break out in the form of dreaded Can-
tot What has appeared to be a mere
ijiupie or scratch has developed into
[he most malignant Cancer.
“1 bad a severe Cancer which was at first
frniy a few blotches, that I thought would
soon imss away. 1 was
treated by several able
physicians, but In spite
of their efforts the Can
cer spread until my con
dition became ala ruling.
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.

MILES 3EF0NE THE
COURT OF INOOIRT
Commanding General Testifies
Regarding Army Beef.
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.

SECRETARY WILSON
ON DIVERSIFICATION
Possibilities of the South and
Negro Labor Question.
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. ”

Dangers of the Grip.
The greatest danger from La Grippe
is of its resulting in pneumonia. 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. It will cure la grippe in less
time titan any other treatment. It is
pleasant and sufe to take. For sale
