sanitary measure, and is managed by Capt.
Murray of his stat. The captain is also en-

NAVAL MEDICAL CORPS.
The medical corps Of the navy is now full,
the Board of Examination, which has been in
session for four months, having passed sui.
fcient number of candidates. The examination

THE Army BAKERY.
4 great pressure is made upon the War De-
partment BY Members Of Congress to have The
army bakery removed from the basement Of
the Capitol The objection to it can be none
other than the perfume Of freshly baked bread.
ID will cost from 500 to $4,000 to erect
q new bakery, aud 10 introduce into it gas and
the other conyenieDces indispensably necessary
to the puuctunl product of the enormous guam
tity of loaves daily dealt out to the army.
Moreover, no water accessible in the city If
suitable for the making of the best quality OF
bread, save that of the spring at the Capitol.
We do hope that this untimely movement, in
volving an unnecessary expenditure of $30, GOO,
will be at once arrested by resolution OF both
Houses, sanctiODing the use OF the Capitol
vaults for making lOaves for the soldiers until
the close of the war. The people keenly feel
that this is no time for throwing away money
by tens of thousands
