EXPERTS ASKED FOR To Conduct a Thorough in vestigation, Washington, Dae. 31.—‘The War Department is going into the “embalmed beef’' scandal, A board of officer* has been ap-r pointed to meet Imre Jan. 1 to determine whether bad beef was famished to the army; whether it was chemieally treated; what pr portion of it wa* unfit for use, and how 300,000 pounds were lost. At this morning’s session of the War Investigating Commis sion it was announced that no witnesses will be examined to day. After a shert executive session the eommissien ad join tied until Tuesday.

Vlnior Daly states that h* found th* fresh beef to be apparently preserved with secret chemieals which were injected in quanti ties likely to be hurtful to the health of the consumer. The meat on th* Panama, he said, was unpalatable, and had to be thrown overboard, the 250 con valescents being without fresh beef. The report concludes : “Be lieving that the Commissary Department has been imposed upon by the misdirected com iHtrcial spirit of persons furnish ing fiesh beef, I respectfully recemmond that the matter be investigated by experts.” THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS is due not only to the originality and s.mp’icitv of the combination, but also to the care and skill with whieh it is manufactured by scientific processed known so the California Fig Co. only, and we wish to impress upon all the importance of purchasing th*) true and original remedy.
