OVER $15,000 AVAILABLE
FOR RELIEF OF HUNGRY
Meeting; of Relief Commit

Worth of Food and cloth
ing.
At the meeting of the relief com
mltfep today at noon statements of
the progress made by ther ellef work
er* was given to the public and It
shows that over $15,000 has become
available since the fund wa* started.
This Includes $5,000 from city coun
cil and $4,000 from the Board of Char
ities. Practically $5,000 has been ex
pended, but over SIO,OOO now remains
on hand available fpr use. Mr. E. B.
Hook, who la handling the work, pre
sented his statement In detail and the
work of Mr. C. A. Rowland, who has
been at work In co-operating In the
establishment of the relief stations,
through the Associated Charities,
also made a splendid report.
There was considerable argument
about accepting further outside aid,
other than that proffered by the rep,
resentatlve of the war department,
('apt. A. H, Huguet, who was present.
The motion was finally lost without
consideration and outside aid will
still be accepted In order to relieve
the situation sh much as possible.
Capt. A. H. Huguet, of the quarter
master's department of the United
States army, was present, having
been detailed here to examine Into
the situation and send in his recom
mendations for emergency aid. It
was given as his opinion that the
sufferers needed Immediate help and
he would so advise the war depart
ment. There appears to be about
SIB,OOO of the special emergency re
lief of the war department now on
hand and possibly slo.nno of this may
be sent here In th- way of food, cloth
ng and medicine. It 1* expected that
the government will supply most of
the clothing neded by the sufferers
The matter of distributing and ex
pending the supplies sent by the gov
eminent was left in the hands of Mr.
K B Hook and C A. Rowland, who
will confer vvl|,h Captain Huguet a
to what action to sake. It is expected
that authority will be given to pur
chase he needful supplies at onec
from local dealers if they can be sup
hore.
A Special committee was appointed

Whenever you get out doors, draw the chin in, carry the head h

your enemies. Try to fix firmly in your mind what you would like t
without violence of direction you will move straight to the goal. Ke
the great and splendid things you would like to do; and then, as the da
you will find yourself unconsciously seizing the opportunities that ar
the fulfillment of your desire, just as the coral insect tak#s from the
