George Bernard Shaw is one of the few vegetarians who have remained true to the faith and in recent letter to woman, representing her for her fight against the aigrette when she still ate meat, MT. Shaw said:

No Menace lr Sanatorlum.

Dr. Edward l.. Trudeau who built the first tuberculosis sanatorium in the United States in 1885, says:
 When l bought the first land on which the Adirondack Cottage sanato- rum is built, l paid $25 an acre for It. but the price was then thought ab- surdly high My last purchase of five acres cost me $5,000 To my knowl- edge, there has never been an employe who came to the sanatorium in sound health who developed tuberculosis while there; and sanatorium can no more endanger the health of the neigh borhood in which it is built, even if the residences are at it's very gates, than it could if it were placed on top of a high mountain miles away from habitation'

Fifty years ago today the Confederate
government was preparing to send It's
department clerks, with certain excep-
tions, away from Richmond, in anticipa-
ton Of the opening Of ths spring cam
paign.
This course, which when known was
to cause a fiutter OF CONSERVATION in the
Confederate capital, was prompted by
economic reasons. There was not enough
food in the city to feed all the people
there, and the railroads on which the
city depended for a supply could not haul
enough for Richmond and for Lees army
also.
Gen. Lee had been in Richmond for a
brief visit, and in the course OF his stay
had held several conferences with JEFF
ferson Davis en- the problem Of SUBJ
sistence. which had become a grave one.
He had suggested that the number OF
mouths to be fed in Richmond be re-
duced and steps had been takn In con-
sequence to send the clerks away to
some city, where they could live more
easily.
Naturally cities further South must
be chosen TO receive these workers OF
the government. Columbia. s. C.. was
the first to be designated. when plan
was publicly announced. The women
clerks of the treasury department were
to be sent there.
Later a proposal was favored OF send
ing the clerks OF the auditing depart
ment, numbering several hundred men
and women, to Montgomery, Ala.
Perhaps the government will soon re-
move thither entirely" wrote clerk in
the war department u. B. jones' in his
diary. This is ill-timed, as the enemy
will accept 1t as an indication Of an
abandonment of the capital and many
OF our people will regard IL as pre-
limInary TO the evacuation on Richmond "
A geperaI removal OF the government
departments was stayed by news Of the
capture of Plymouth and the ram AL
bermarle's promising debut, in which she
sunk a Federal ship.
On April 90 the war clerk noted: THE
President has changed his mind since
the reception OF the news from North
Carolina. and has determined that all
the government shall not leave Rich
mond until further orders. All that can
be spared. however, will go at once. The
war and navy departments will remain
for the present"

Proposal of Committee.
Therefore your committee proposes to
authorize it to obtain technical and eX-
pert advice at their earliest convenience
for the drafting of a bill which will
enable the facilities of the several scien-
tifc departments and institutions of the
Federal government TO, be brought to-
gether under q central administrative
body, which would form the nucleus for
further expansion, and when this bill
shall have been framed, or as soon as
plan of this kind is worked out. that the
Daughters see to 1t that bills are intro
duced into the House and Senate, and
then marshal their united influence in
support of such bills, or cooperate with
the intention of the pending bills. In this
work. they should ask the cooperation
of the secretary OF the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition, of the superintendent OF the Naval
Observatory, of the head of the Bureau
Of Standards, of the superintendent of
the Government Hospital for the Insane,
of the scientists in charge OF the Hy-

as well as of the director Of the Car

opinion in the North. when the news
got there, that the Confederacy was tot

The latter assumption was in antici-
patton OF events which would amply
prove that, hard pressed though II was
there was another years vitality left In
II. The genius OF Lee stood between the
South and the Federal power.
But the economic condition on which
the idea OF the proposed transfer OF the
government clerks to the South was based
was a pressing and pregnant influence IN
sapping the remaining strength OF the
Confederacy.
The people of the South were prey to
knavery-and incompetence-the knavery
OF spectators in food supplies and the
incompctcHce OF the officials who should
have fed the armies in the field. Con-
centration OF food in private hands. the
utter breakdown of the Army Commits
sarv Department the congestion OF the
railroads and the approach or famine in
Richmond were the results Ol these twin
evils.

That the distress Of the people in
Richmond was great is amply shown by
the diarist already quoted. Everybody
was paid in script, and script was worth
only 20 cents on the dollar. while salaries
and wages had not increased as money
deprecated in value.
The effect Of this state of affairs is
readily noted in the bitter experience OF
the diarist mentioned. His income was
