"Every Path
" Hath a Puddle."
Uie puddle in the pathway
of most lives is a defective
circulation due to a blood sup
ply that instead of growing
clear and strong like a moun
tain brook, is stagnant and
impure. Puddles may be puri
fied, however, and become
limpid streams. That is what

The Military Court of Inquiry has re
turned to Washington, whero tho Inst
witness will be heard. Nobody has any
authority to say what tho report of tho
Court will bo, but the impression is gen
oral among thoso who havo closely fol
lowed all tho testimony, that it will
justify every charge made by General
Miles about bad beef being furnished
tho armv. that it will recommend ono
or moro court-maitials of army officers
who aro lespousible for the purchnso
nnd acceptance of tho beef. Should this
impiession ho correct, General Engan
will certainly catch it, for ns Commis
sary General, lie is the man who must be
held responsible, although the real fault
may havo belonged to somo of his
siibutdinates.

ed Mr. Bryan in '1)0 tegaid it as n very
bad break politically, and are already
atwotk in tho interest of other can
didates. Ono of these is Ex-Representa
tive King of Utah, who said on tho sub
ject: "Tho wiser loaders aro looking
for a candidate who will not begin hip
campaign with nliouating a largo sec
