BUSINESS WOMEN
a Lunch Fit for a King.

An active and successful young
lady tells her food experience:
Some years ago I suffered from
nervous prostration, induced by con-
tinuous brain strain and improper
food, added to a great grief.
Il was ordered to give up my work,
as there was great danger Of my mind
falling me altogether. My stomach
was in bad condition (nervous dyspep-
Bia, I think now) and when Grape
Nuts food was recommended to- me, /
had no faith in it. However, l tried
II, and soon there was marked i'm
provement in my condition.
Il had been troubled with faint
spells, and had used stimulant to
revive me. l found that by eating
Grape-Nuts at such times was re-
lieved and suffered no bad effects,
which was great gain. AS to my
other troubles-nervous prostration,
dyspepsia, etc.-on the Grape-Nuts diet
they soon disappeared.
Il wish especially to call the atten-
tion of Office girls to the great benefit
l derived from the use of Grape-Nuts
as a noon luncheon. I was thoroughly
tired of cheap restaurants and ordin-
ary lunches, and so made the expert
ment Of taking package Of Grape
Nuts food with me, and then slipping
out at noon and getting a nickers
worth of sweet cream to add to it.
Il found that this simple dish, fin
ished off with an apple, peach, orange,
or a bunch of grapes made lunch fit
for a king, and one that agreed with
me perfectly.
II throve so on my Grape-Nuts diet
that l did not have to give up my work
at all, and in the two years have had
only four lost days charged up against
me.
Let me add that your suggestions

FORESIGHT OF GEN. SHERMAN
Grand March Through Georgia Re-
aarded as Of Paramount Import
anoe In Fastening End.

When Jef Davis made his visit TO
Macon, Ca, he said in a speech deliv'
cred there September %, 1864;
Though misfortune has befallen our
arms from Decatur to Jonesboro, our
cause is not lost. Sherman cannot
keep up his long line Of communities
tons, and retreat sooner or later he
must. When that day comes the fate
that befelI the army OF the French
empire In it's retreat from Moscow
VIII be repeated. Our cavalry and our
people will harass and destroy his
army as did the Cossacks that OF
Napoleon. and the Yankee general,
like him, win escape with only a
bodyguard."
sherman's foresight was almost pro
phetic, writes T. e. Knapp Of Mont
pelier, o., in the National Tribune.
Sherman was not apprehensive OF
any desperate fighting after he began
his march. He was positive his army
would have a good time. He wrote to
General Halleck as If he were going
ON foraglng expedition. This move
ment," he wrote, 'is not purely mill
tary or strategic, but It will illustrate
the vulnorability Of the south. They
don't know what war means. but when
the rich planters on the Oconee and
the Savannah see their fences and
corn and hogs and sheep vanish be-
fore their eyes they will have some
thing mere than a mean opinion OF the
Yanks. Even now our poor mules
laugh as they anticipate the fine corn
fields and our soldiers the chestnuts,
sweet potatoes, pigs, chickens, etc"
Sherman was determined to make
Georgia feel tho horrors of war. In
writing to General Wilson he said: Il
am going into the bowels of the Con-
federacy, and propose to leave a trail
that will be recognized 80 years
hence"
Georgia howled. A track Of desola-
tion reached to the sea, and today one
can follow either of the three col
umns which left Atlanta by what are
called Sherman's sentinels-the chin
neys left standing in the fields or by
the side of the road to mark the spot
where Sherman's bummers burned the
dwellings, cotton gins, mills or fac
tories.
On November 16, 1864, Sherman
started from Atlanta with 10000 tried
and true men. The wires were cut,
and, moving through the state in three
separate columns, they foraged upon
the country.
A few days before Slocum's left
wing reached Milledgeville the legisla-

the emigrant there is required more

stop-over. This besides being robbed

After much delay he arrives at the

After more delay. he is set on board

the port is Halifax. Perhaps the steam
ship companies know why the immi-
grant Is sent to the United States via
Canada, but they won't tell. He ar

barred. The fact that he is bound
for some town in the United States
does not make things any pleasanter
for him with the Canadian officials.

These steamship agents are to be
found in the foreign quarters of every
large American city. In the Ghetto
and Little Italy you will find them
most abundant. Some Of them have

ture of the state had been in session
there. The lawmakers dispersed with
out formality when he arrived there.
Sherman occupied the executive man
sion, Governor Brown having fed with
all his belongings. Sherman made his
march in "a days, having marched
255 miles.
President Lincoln, under date Of
December 26, 1864, wrote: when you
were about to leave Atlanta for the
Atlantic coast l was anxious, If not
fearful; but feeling that you were the
better judge, and remembering moth
ing risked nothing gained ] did not
interfere. Now the undertaking is a
success tho honor ia all yours, for I
believe none of US went farther than
to acquiesce, and, taking the word Of
General Thomas into accounts as it
should be taken, 1t is indeed a great
success. Not only does it afford the
obvious and important military ad.

Sherman regarded the march as of
paramount Importance in fastening
the end OF tho war. He expressed
himself that this grand march to
Savannah and from Savannah I'd
Ralaigh was an important factor in
the final result, the overwhelming
victory at appomattox.
Sherman estimated the damage
done tho state of Georgia by his army
passing through az amounting to fully
$10O,OO0,00O, one-hfth Of which had
been used by his army and the rest
destroyed.
General Sherman accomplished Just
what he said he would do: Smash

damage seems wanton and cruel. vel

noticed particularly large and
gloomy vacancy where the feathered
game had been. Back TO the auto and
away to the south again.
Sighting a string Of ducks coming
up, Kidder ran the machine into the
shade Of barbed-wire fence to con-
ceal it, while we crawled several rods
out into a COW pond so We would have
plenty of inducement for our game to
drop in on us. We held our breath till
we saw pinwheels and finally the
ducks decided to come over. They
we're so far up in the atmosphere
that I threw my gun away and felt
around for my lunch. but Kidder took
a few cracks at them with his piston
action scatter-gun for luck.
Strange as 1t may seem. a duck
fell. We could find no hole In the
duck nor any apparent cause for
death. It had a sort Of tired express
sion on It's features that made us re-
solve to show 1t to an experienced vet
erinary before using it.
We then boarded the auto, went an
other mile and disembarked into a
likely-looking hog lot. Nothing was in
the lot but a few last years pocket
gopher holes, and as we had no use for
them. we went on. AS we were going
through a farmers dooryard, however,
winged fat squirrel in a tree close
by the rear porch. The lady Of the
house came out and spoke to us in a
varied language, but as neither Of US
understood it, we came away.
We then came to a gate, on which
was nailed a sign reading like this:
mo hunteng on this field"
This was a mistake. There really
was good hunting in that field. We
started up six rabbits and a copious
perspiration in crossing It, Also took
a potshot at a cloud Of ducks going
over with no immediate casualties. We
ran onto one poor gosling that had
over-eaten and easily got it, however,
before 1t could fly.
At this time Kidder looked at his
Waterbury and discovered that 1t was
eleven a. m, with us at least a dozen
miles from a warm meal. We there
fore swore off our vendetta against the
ducks and footed 1t mile to the auto.
After some tinkering, Kidder persuad-
ed her to wake up and we headed for
launch. 1t was great day for ducks,
but a poor day for duck-hunters.

Opportunity was taken to search a

countrymen the benefit of a remark

II is short step from this disclos-
