TO feed the destitute people OF Memphis and the

perqulSlteS are cut down. A most serious drain
on the commisSary is the supply OF the servants
OF f1ch people. These well-tO-do citizens fled

wants. But the majority OF these house-owners

been called upon to keep our people from starva-

And yet, If the citizens relief committee cut off
