The forenoon was mainly occupied in a
general review Of the prospect and the
best means to be adopted to carry the city
and it, population safely through the
sickly season,
The prevailing sentiment appeared to
be a firm resolve not to issue rations to
people within the city except in the most
extreme cases, where families may be sick
and In actual want. Another view, which
met with strong Endorsement, was TO is
sue rations only to those who performed
manual labor in return therefor, and not
to give except to those who may actually
need food. 1t was claimed that the free
ration system is demoralizing and de-
void Of good results, and that the only
humane course that can be adopted will be
to send people to a camp to be cared for
and fed by charity.

A day or two ago a motherly-look-

Woodward avenue clothing store
having q mans linen duster on her
arm, and when approached by a sales
man she said:
"Some one in here sold this dus-
ter to my 10 yesterday"
"Yes, madam, / sold it myself"
replied the clerk as he looked at the
garment.
"Did you tell my son that this
buster could be worn either to a pic
mic, funeral, bridal party or quarter
ly meeting?"
II did, madam, and so it cam"
ibid you tell him it would make a
good fy-blanket when not otherwise
needed?"
"I did,"
''That it could be used as a boat

"And that many people used them
as table-covers?'

Sand that they would last for
years and then make excellent stuff
for a rag carpet?"
81 did,"
Sand you only charged q dollar?"
"Only a dollar, ma'am."
"Well, when John came home last
night and brought the buster, and
told me all you said, l made up my
mind that he must have been drunk,
and / was q leetle afraid he stole the
garment. l AIN glad it's all right"
sit certainly is all right, ma'am,
and since he was here yesterday we
have discovered that the buster is a
