Today in
Washington History
By DONALD A. CRAIG.

October 10, 1S65.-President john
son this morning reviewed the 1st
Colored Regiment of the District of
Columbia and welcomed the men back
to their homes in brief address. The
regiment, under command of Col Hog
man, marched to the Executive Man
sion from its quarters in Campbelrs
Hospital.
The President said that he appeared
simply to tender his thanks for the
compliment the men had paid him upon
their return to the association of rela-
tiveS and friends. It was unusual, he
said, in this and other governments, to
have colored regiments in the Army,
and he appreciated the good will Of
these colored soldiers in visiting him,
especially as he had evidence of their
faithfulness in service. They were now
expected, he added, to do as much in
civil life as they had done in the field
AS he had lived all his life in the
South, the President said he knew the
habits of the colored people. He urged
them to observe principles of virtue
and return to their homes and flresides
with fixed and unalterable deter
mination to do their duty in the future
as they had in the past" He especially
asked them Ito abstain from all bicker-
ingS that follow competition between
races"
Frequently the remarks of the Pres
ident were interrupted by applause from
the colored soldiers At the conclusion
of the brief speech, Col Hogman NOV
ed with his column into Pennsylvania
avenue, marching east to Seventh street
and thence back to Campbell's Hos
pital, where the regiment partook of
the hospitalities of the colored people
of Washington.
It was reported today that Presi-
dent Johnson has ordered restored to
Mrs. John H. Sothoron, the valuable
property in st. Marys County, Md,
upon which one of the Government
farms for the freedmen is located. This
estate comprises 1900 acres of land,
827 of which are under cultivation.
The property belonged to Col. John
H. Sothoron, who was charged with
killing Lieut.. White, an officer of COL
ored troops. Col. Sothoron Is under
stood to have left the country and
gone to Canada, where he is reported to
be living at the present time. The Gov
ernment took possession of the land
for the Freedmeh's Bureau as aban-
donad property.
The Government has also restored
valuable property within the last few
days to II persons in Loudoun County,
Va, heretofore turned over to the
Freedmen'S Bureau as abandoned.

Freak Dieting and Drugs.


"Dear Doctor: In October, 1927, my
weight was 238 pounds. I stuck to your
directions until l lost 81 pounds, and
am now down to 154 pounds. Never
felt better in my life. am 26 years
old. Here's my problem:
Two weeks ago applied for life in
surance and they turned me down.

1ned me and he said there was not a
thing wrong with me, only that was
so much overweight year ago and now
am almost normal. Why should this
bar me when I reduced two and one

adviseda Please answer soon.
MRS. r."
don't understand your rejection
either, Mrs. r. The only thing I can
think OF is that you did not tell the
company that you had reduced by a
balanced diet and they were afraid that
your resistance had been undermined
by disease or freak dieting or drugs, or
there may have been the thought that
you might not keep your weight down
and would go up again to the dangerous
point you were before. Two hundred
and thirty-eight pounds is certainly a
dangerous weight.

because overweight is the forerunner of
many diseases: Heart. kidney, diabetes.
cancer, etc. This means a decided
shortening of the life expectancy. Natu-

have insured him for is paid in.
BY the way, the directions do not
say to reduce as much as two and one

Straight Talks to Women About Money
BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN.

Before agreeing to co-tenancy all ex-
penseS and costs should be gone over
and fair division and assessment
agreed upon. These will include light
and power expenses, maid service, rent,
and so forth. Usually one tenant has
more desirable quarters than the other.
and so there must be an adjustment of
the rent accordingly.
If either party has valuables which
must be insured it is a good idea to
apply at once for insurance. This will
obviate any doubt of the other party's
responsibility, because no company will
insure under questionable circumstances.
1t is best where it is possible to own
as few things as possible jointly. This
avoids the inevitable disputes which
arise when separation is decided upon
and also limits the liability of each one
In choosing residence it is more
practical to have the co-tenant along
to approve Of the location. Otherwise
disputes may arise at future date
From all of this it will be adduced that
Joint residence has its problems, but
also that they have their solutions.

Sharing Quarters.

Sometimes the business woman finds
1t desirable to share her living quarters
with friend, or, if one is not available,
with congenial stranger. In doing SO
she splits her lodging cost, and often
finds it possible to enjoy more comfort
able and accessible quarters at lower
cost.
In seeking lc ing of this sort one
must be sure of -wo things; first, that
her friend Is fin ncially responsible, and
second, that she is honest and trust
worthy. Otherwise, any saving one may
effect may be offset by later develop
ments.
In taking over new quarters separate
leases should be signed if it is possible
to arrange to do so. Otherwise, if one
party proves to be irresponsible the re-
Sponsible party may be held liable for
the full amount of the rent.
other services, such as telephone.
electric current and similar charges, must
be incurred mutually, and here again it
is evident that only responsible CO.
tenant is desirable.

DIET AND HEALTH
BY LULU HUNT PETERS. M. D.

otherwise you may limit your diet so
much that you will get some deficiency

l suggest you go back to the insur-
ance company in years time, showing
them that you are still normal weight.
and give them your assurance that YOU
are going to keep normal.
Abnormal Fear of Dentistry.
Il am 36 years old and very nervous
have very carious teeth with five
assesses, but am petrified at the
thought of going to the dentist. Really
if had by choice of the electric chair
or the dentist chair, don't know which
I would choose. Can you help me over
this terror? MRS. H."
Every one has certain fear of going
to the dentist, but yours is abnormal,
the agony you suffered before the mod
ern methods were used. And perhaps
your teeth are Supersensitiye.
If you haven't a modern dentist in
your town, go to a city where there is
one, for with modern dentistry methods
there is no great pain. If teeth need to
be extracted, it can be done under a
short, general anesthesia which the pa
tient comes out of Immediately, or with
local anesthesia. Even filling can be
done under local anesthesia If necessary.
Drilling is done under a stream of water
(kept flowing from a syringe held by
the assistanD which prevents the drill
from getting hot ut really is the heat
ing of the drill which causes the pain)
In all ways, modern dentistry is prac-
tically painless.
Don't neglect your teeth, Mrs. H.
Besides general poisoning, the infec-
ton you have may settle in your joints,
give you serious complications.

Raised Corn Bread.

Add to a quart of buttermilk half a
cupful OF yeast. Set in a warm place
overnight. In the morning add one
pint Of dry bread crumbs, half a cup
full of sugar, two eggs, teaspoonful of
baking soda, little salt and cornmeal
enough to make moderately stiff bat
Ter, and stir well. Instead of baking,
steam this loaf, using lard pail or
baking power cans with tight-fitting
covers. Grease the cans we'll and pour
the batter into them in the morning.
Let stand for one or two hours, and
when the batter is perfectly light put
the receptacle containing it into pot
OF boiling water. Steam for an hour
and half or two hours.

Drink Milk for Beauty.

Several times before I have given a
description Of the all-milk treatment
that is given In certain sanitariums for
the cure of large and varied number
Of troubles. In modified form any
woman can give herself this treatment
Among other things, it Is used to make
people fatter and also to reduce them.
This Is done by regulating the cream
content of the milk and also by vary
ing the lengths of time between the
drinks. The only thing besides milk
the sarlitariums give is fruit juice and
occasionally small fiat crackers. Some
patients do not have anything but milk.
am recommending this simply for
complexion today, though I have sug-
gested it before for other troubles. Also
am suggesting a very much modified
form Of 1t. If your skin is bad, it is
most likely because your digestion is
not acting properly or because the elm
inative organs are not functioning as
they should. Well, an almost entirely
liquid diet is the best thing for this.
Also milk contains everything the body
needs in the way of nouriShment and
in such proportions that almost every
grown person can take it as 1t comes.
I'd suggest you drink whole milk If
you are average weight or under
weight, but buttermilk II you are too
fat. Butternnilk is wonderful for the
sRiA but Its fat content Is negligible;
