Commissioner Wolfe says he hopes
the authorities of San Francisco will
now grant the hitherto unanswered
appeal of the fire insurance compan-
les for an auxiliary salt water system
on Twin peaks, one of the highest
points in the range of hills back of
San Francisco. He suggests that wide
streets be laid out in the rebuilding
of the city. The demonstration hav-
ing been made that fires are more
easily confined when the thorough
fares are broad.

The Salvation Army seIf.Denial week.

to action on new ines which at once
reused the attention of both friends
ard critics. In the course of a letter
which appeared in the War Cry dated
August 14th of that year, the General
reviewed the situation and for the re-
lief of the pressing necessities of
the war proposed that "A week be
set apart in which every soldier and
friend should deny himself of some
article of food or clothing, or some
indulgence which can be done with
out. and that the money gained by
this self-denial be sent to us in this
emergency" Thus was inaugrated
what has SINCE become known in
every land where the Armys flag is
flying, as "Self-Denial Week." The
funds raised during this effort are
