FISH WHARVES PAYING.
Had Season Been Good Receipts of
$1,000 Would Have Been Larger.

That the fish and oyster wharves will
be paying proposition for the District is
shown by the fact that for the first
month the wharf was under District con-
trol the collections made for landing fish
and oysters at the wharf amounted to
more than a thousand dollars. Had the
fishing season been as good as it has been
in former years the collections for land
ing fish would have considerably swelled
this total.
Receipts of fish at the wharf yesterday
We're very light, amounting to only a
few thousand herring, and practically no
shad. Heavy receipts are looked for this
morning
The shortage i'm the supply of oysters
at the oyster wharf was relieved yes
terday by the arrival of three small YES
sells with Potomac stock aboard. In al
they brought less than a thousand BUSH
els. The demand for them was light, at
prices ranging from 40 to 30 cents per
bushel. The oystertaking season on the
Potomac will close next Friday. and after
that date but few oysters will be brought

How to Save Money on Food.
DIR. r. e. LANGWORTHY.
DeDartnent of Agriculture.

Possibly the best posted man In the
country, II not in the world, on matters
of food and diet is Dr. c. F. Langworthy.
expert in nutrition Of the ONCE Of expert
ment stations. the Department Of Agri-
culture. DR.. Langworthy. with his staff
OF investigators, has issued In the past
few years no less than twenty-seven
popular publications dealing with food
questions, fifty technical bulletins, and
more than go other articles, the COM
bined circulation OF which has been nearly
1a,JOO0OO. Calls for these reports have
been received from nearly every portion
of the world
AS result of his years OF research into
dietary questions DR.. Laneworthy finds
that OF the foods purchased by the aver
age American household about 10 per
cent may be considered as wasted. In
view OF the fact that among the small
Wage-earners OF the country 40 per cent
Of the family's annual income Is spent for
food. this leakage is to be regarded as
alarming.
There is no Doubt" said DR.. Lang
worthy, that the great army of house
keepers can be enabled to supply bet
ter and more rational diet OF improved
quality and at a less cost, and that the
application of know edge pertaining to
food and nutrition Of the sort which has
been gathered in the nutrition investis a.
tions would add to the pleasure and COM
fort OF these families. as well as to their
material prosperity.

bull mooser. Mr.. Hill told the following
story on the House moor:
Your republican party reminds me Of
the yarn Of an Irish sculptor who came
to this country. and found work at his
trade One morning as he went to his
job he saw q newly erected monument In
q graveyard. Upon viewing it he found
1t to be the tombstone of Patrick O'Brien
OF Kilkenny. Ireland. which was the
home Of the sculptor. Being a fellow
countryman he stopped to read the in
scription, which was:
"As you are now. - once wss I;
A. am new Jon. TOO. shall be.
Prepare thyssif to follow ne."
"All day the sculptor thought over this
epitaph. and that night al he was on his
way home he stopped at the grave, and
with his hammer and chisel he added
these lines to the inscription:

In addition to the interest every citizen
feels in the administration Of our COM
mon property-the national forests-there
is a fund OF facts gathered by the forest
service which may be drawn upon to
serve the specific needs of the Individual.
These facts touch the individual In the
most intimate way-in the home. The
forest service can tell him, for any given
locality. the best wood to use In building
or repairing any part of his house. He
can be told the strongest wood for sills,
the most durable for contact with the
ground or for withstanding the elements,
as In the form of shingles or siding.
The floor upon which he stands, the
door through which he passes, the chairs,
tables and other pieces of furniture that
come closely in contact with his every
day life. are all made of wood, and the
forest service can tell him anything he
wants to know about the best wood for
any specific use.

i'm making an excellent living as farm
director and manager. For this posi-
ton she has ably qualified upon hes
own country estate OF $50 acres. near
Chatham, Va.
To those who only know OF her So
cial honors and the hospitality OF the
rubernatorial mansion during her re-
gime in Richmond. the fact that ehe
manages her farm personally comes as
a decided surprise. In appearance aiso'
Mrs. Swanson offers a decidediy new
version of a farmer. The estate at
Chatham was purchased some years
ago by Senator Swanson as country
home and Mrs. Swanson very wisely
lived in it some time before she made
an attempt to remodel thereby deter
mining through practical experience
Just the improvements and changes
most desirable. When she did conclude
to start alterations she insisted that
the architect make his plans In faith
full accordance with her suggestions.
and as q result she now has a home
which is a constant JOY to her and the
show place of the surrounding country.
The old-fashioned garden with its
quaint box borders was left intact and
the rose garden with it's hundreds Of
bushes represents the embodiment OF
one of Mrs. Swanson's chief hobbies.
A view OF her roses in spring II con-
sidered well worth the trip from
Lynchpurg. according to some Of her
friends who make the journey just to
view the glory of one tree rose alone.
This rose Is grated variety very
popular In England called the Frau
kaj Druscki." 1t is paper white with
blossoms that expand to the size OF
saucers. Then, too. there are some
rlu,cs more than a hundred stalks Of
EasIe" lilies in bloom at one time. to
say nothing Of the countless other
flowers that give their best bloom to
pay for their care.
Flowers are. only q small part Of the
production of this up-to-date farm, for
Mrs Swanson does nothing half-heartod
or indiferently. Her farm keeps the
table the year around. Each week box
arrives at the senator's city home, the
contents OF which for quality 60 ahead
of anything the city markets can pro-
vide. Mrs. Swanson raises and cures her

She has made an exhaustive study of

enjoys society, delights In travel. en-
thuses over her new city home, but
