Today in Washington History BY DONALD A. CRAlG: December 15, 1864—News was re- | ceived in Washington today about | | Gen. -~ Sherman’s Army, which marching -through Georgia and has | not been heard from authoritatively | for some days. It seems that Capt. ! Duncan, a scout with Sherman’s Army, has reached Hilton Head, 8. C. | and sent word via Fort onroe that | the whole Army, six days ago, wa within 10 miles of avannah. It is believed that Sherman has captured | that city by this tume. Capt. Duncan reports the Army in high spirits and the best of condition, He forwarded a despatch from Ger. O. 0. Howard, commanding the right wing of Sher- man's Army, saying, “We have met | with perfect success thus far.” To add to the news, the Navy De- partment today received a dispatch of | | similar import from the fleet at Port | Royal, 8. C. gren, in command, says that Sherman |was a “few miles from Savannah.” | The messenger who brought the mes- | sage from the fleet, for transmission ! by telegraph wire to Washington, via | Fort Monroe, Va., forwarded the | information that, as, he left the har- | bor at Port Royal, “our naval fleet | | was firing salutes and the vessels were | being decked with flags, indicating I that some later news of glorious im. ,port had been received from Sher- man.” | It is the firm belief in Army and Navy circles in Washington that the “glorious news” of which this senger speaks Is nothing less | news of the capture of the seaport on the Savannah River, The Senate today passed a bill for | the construction of a gunboat for the | This would have been all right | Republic of Liberia, to be paid for in | installments by that government.

She said her mother had always | done it for her and she wanted her daughter Nancy to have memories as pleasant. Nancy had no little daugh- ter, but she determined that her niece Joan should take her place. So out they went one fine morning and mixed land rolled and cut and baked the | cookies. | Some were in the shape of animals, |some were stars or big round ones | with with a hole in the middle. There was a cookie boy as well. Nancy used this recipe: Three-1fourths cup shortening, 1 cup sugar, 2 cups flour, 3 eggs, one- half teaspoon salt, 3 teaspoons baking powder, one-eighth nutmeg. She creamed the shortening and sugar, added well beaten eggs, then the sifted dry ingredients. She let them stanid in a cold place for a number of hours, Then they were rolled thin, sprinkled with sugar and cut in fancy shapes. The oven was hot when they were put in to bake. WINTER BY D. C. PEATTIE. The English sparrow—the d for him. or hold the slightest of briefs in his defense? Dirty and quarrelsome, noisy and useless, no one considers him anything but a guttersnipe of a bird, a street urchin, a ragamuffin, waif. Yet he was brought to America with high hopes, half a cen- tury or more ago, to eat up a plague of worms in Prospect Park in Brook- lyn—worme that had been accidentally introduced from Europe on nursery stock and were’ destroying trees: worms that were the sparrow’s natural in complete innocence of heart, introduced the common sparrow, domesticus, though we were warned by English naturalists that | we were inviting a pest into our | household. And, on a fateful day, the caged birds were turned loose in Pros pect Park. They ate the destroying worms; and then, like the Goths, we would hhive | been glad to have the Huns, our lats llies, depart. But the sparrows de- | cided to remain.

A Congress man, natured, so to| speak, on the sidewalks of New York, can scarcely be expected to under- stand the environment or state of mind of a Congressman from the rural districts. To any one at all familiar with Members of the House, and par- ticularly the districts they represent, it is interesting to observe their pres. ence on or absence from the floor dur- ing a speech. Those representing farm constituencies, or most of them, wil suffer themselves to listen to a ‘“‘farm speech,” whether they agree with it Those from copgested urban districts will at least go through the gesture of listening when a ‘“city orates.

According to Osborne and Men- | del it is irritating to the stomach and | intestines; it is therefore contraindi- | cated (that is, not advisable) in hyper- acidity, mucous colitis and other states of gastrointestinal irritability.” Although Osborne and Mendel recognized authorities in the physi- ology of nutrition, their notion that bran is irvitating to the stomach and intestines is of less weight than the experience of any ordinary medical practitioner, in my_ opinion. The aversion to bran expressed by Drs. Alvarez and Bastedo is merely in reference fo the disease conditions they are dealing with. Both of these digestive-disease specialists are com- petent to pass on a question of treat- ment or diet in any case of digestive disease. Neither, in my opinlon, has any sound basis for assuming, if he does ume, that the popular prac | tice of eating bran is in any way in | jutious or ohjectionable when the in | dividual finds it a help in the preven- tion of constipation. re | BY THORNTON FISHER. | during a jer ascended the PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE BY WILLIAM BRADY, 1927.) of Washington shington time a Member seems to be addressing | inventions f empty seats.

During that time an efficient money-saving sys- tem of marketing has been developed. Science has been utilized to find new uses for many products that once were waste and better uses for old products. Multiplied uses have in- creased volume. Increased volume has resulted in decreased manu- facturing and marketing Experience, science and skill have reduced waste to a minimum. Swift's marketing system means only one profit—and that is low.. For the entire operation of convert- ing live animals into Premium Ham and Bacon, Brookfield and other finished meat products and dis- tributing them to the retailer, Swift & Company receives a profit from all sources averaging only a fraction of a cent per pound. The National Distribution Con- ference in 1925 found the whole- sale expenses of the packers’ branch houses to be the lowest of the seven- teen trades studied.
