Smooth Diet and Rough.

agree, and / could seldom learn why

The foregoing paragraph is quoted
from an article on Nervous Indi-

but it is just what I'd say. too, only
/ began the study of dietetics longer

One of the complicating factors is the

ders sees. They certainly do not apply
for the general run Of healthy folk.
DR.. Walter A. Bastedo, in an ad-
dress at Lake Keuka last Summer,
said this of bran:
Bran is a substance whose useful
ness for man has been overrated.
Thirty-three per cent of it consists of
pentosans, which are indigestible for
man. According to Osborne and Men

Although Osborne and Mendel are
recognized authorities in the physi-
ology of nutrition, their notion that
bran is irritating 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 to 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 opinion, has
any sound basis for assuming, II ne

worms that were the sparrow's natural

So, in complete innocence of heart,

Today in
Washington History
BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

December Is, 1864-News was re-
ceived in Washington today about
Gen. Sherman's Army, which is
marching through Georgia and has
not been heard from authoritatively
for some days. 1t seems that Capt.
Duncan, a scout with Sherman's
Army, has reached Hilton Head, S. c.,
and sent word via Fort Monroe that
the whole Army, six days ago, was
within 10 miles of Savannah. 1t is
believed that Sherman has captured
that city by this time. Capt. Duncan
reports the Army in high spirits and
the best of condition. He forwarded
a despatch from Gen. o. o. Howard,
commanding the right wing of Sher-
mans Army, saying, I'VE 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, S. G. Rear Admiral j. A. Dahl
gren, in command, says that Sherman
was 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-
DOT at 1OTt lNOydI, our naval meet
was firing salutes and the vessels were
being decked with flags, indicating
that some later news of glorious inn
, port had been received from Sher-
man"
1t is the firm belief in Army and
Navy circles in Washington that the
glorious news" of which this mes.
senger speaks is nothing less than
news of the capture of the Georgia
seaport on the Savannah River.
! The Senate today passed a bill for
| the construction Of a gunboat for the
| Republic of Liberia, to be paid for in

| things, however, that any person can
| accumulate without any burden OF
work, and which will have the delight
| of ingenuity for guests.
| A box of toothpicks and an assert
ment of corks can be made to do a
good deal. Be sure to supply enough
| sharp knives. or ask the men please
to bring sharp pocketkniVes. Iheh
as partners work together, the one
knife will do for both persons. The
hostess should have bottles of glue,
some phonograph needles--used ones
will do perfectly well-some sheets or
pieces of colored paper, and bits of
cloth and silk or ribbon, some I'M
shellea peanuts and hazel nuts, and
an assortment Of gundrops in as many
sizes. shapes and colors as are to be
bought, and such other things as the
articles described require for the max
ing.
Stunts.
The first stunt should he TO fashion
a miniature Santa Claus from the
corks and toothpicks using hazel nuts
for faces If one wishes. The person
making the best figure of Santa should
be awarded q prize. A Christmas
calendar with st. Nicholas on it is
suggested.
The hostess now places all the
miniature SantaS in a row on a table
and, forming the company in line,
asks them to walk by the table and
take the figures in sequence. No one
should be allowed to pick and choose.
The next feature will appeal most to
the women, but will prove most anus
ing to the men. 1t consists in suit
ably dressing the figures to resemble
Santa Claus. The pieces of fabric and
paper now come into play. Needles
and thread. thimbles and scissors will
be required, though it is advisable TO
do as much with the paste and ordi-
nary pins as possible, for it is quicker.
For this game of toy-making the
gumdrops will be needed and each
person should make one toy which
may be a figure, an animal, bird, in
sect or any article that can be con-
structed as a toy. These gumdrop
freaks are so grotesque that the
makers are not bound by any notions
OF accuracy and can let their fancy
help them in their construction. Each
person must name his Tor her) "crea-
ture" To the one voted best after an
exhibition of them blue ribbon should
be tied and the maker awarded n,
prize of some amusing Christmas toy.
Refreshments.
Christmas salad with lighted candles,
Christmas candle sandwiches.
Sailed nuts. Olives.
Individual plum buildings with sauce.
Coffee.
Chocolates. Bonbons.
Christmas salad-In the center of
any preferred salad served individually
put a round candy with a hole in it,
into which a wee red candle has been
fitted. Light before summoning guests
to the table or serving the plates.
Sandwiches-Cut sandwich bread
into Lengths of Az inches. Bend them
into IL inch strips, butter, and put
two pieces together with a tip of
pimento sticking from one tapered end.

Answer-0)-The condition of your
hair may be due to lack of proper
local treatments or to poor health, or
both. You should massage your scalp
thoroughly for at least ten minutes
each day and brush your hair with
at least fifty strokes of the brush on
each side. The stringy effect is prob
ably due to lack of brushing. Be sure
that your hairbrush is always free
from dust and oil. For a shampoo
use pure CASTLE soap shaved and
melted to a liquid. Add a pinch of
borax. Use soft water for washing
your hair. A tonic that you may
apply twice week to your scalp to
stimulate the growth of hair may be
made of ounces rosemary water,
2 ounces cologne water, 2 drains tine
ture of jaborandi and l dram boric
acid. Apply before the massage.
Please send a stamped self-addressed
envelope for my leafiet on Care OF
the Hair" that explains shampoo and
massage methods in detail. 90 You
may encourage the wave by water

after the shampoo. Here is the

is not unlike many other cities. We
refer to the tendency of local mer'
chants to establish their business
houses among others of the same kind.
There is q distinct automobile row,
dress-shop district and theater ristrict.
Some of the largest banks are within
