are. WIN the Installation of the soup
Kitchens that viii De serving cooked
meals this week further reduction OF
the supply stations Is contemplated
and by Saturday there viii probably
be less than nfty depots for the dis
tribution of raw food.
Another Indication that the distress
is less acute than has been thought "
the fact that today's issue OF ratloHS
will be the first general distribution
since Friday, and no complaint mas
been heard. only one days 1000 II
issued now at each OF the distributions
which are made three times a Week
