Needed to Relieve San
Francisco Sufferers.
FROM TAFT
Is Sent to Congress, Saying that an
Additional $5OO,O0O Is NeCes-
Sary to Relieve Distress.

Washington, D. C.-The president
letter from Secretary Taft recon-
mending the appropriation of an ad-
ditional 100000 to meet conditions at
San Francisco.
Secretary Taft's letter shows that of
the $2,5OO,O00 appropriated for the re-
lief of San Francisco $2,405,333 has
been expended or contracts have been
made which will consume this sum.
Secretary Taft's letter concludes
with the following recommendations:
Gen. Greely has requested that $780,
900 in the hands of the chief quarter
master and chief commissary at San
Francisco be expended for the pur-
chase of further supplies. have au-
thorized this expenditure on the state
ment by Gen. Greedy that of the quar-
termaster's supplies already sent to
San Francisco more than 100000 will
not be used, but may be returned to
the general stores of the army. 1t is
quite probable, however, from Gen.
Greely's statement that a larger sum
will be needed in San Francisco for
the purpose of continuing the pur-
chase of supplies, and l therefore rec
ommend that congress be allowed to
make an additional appropriation for
the same purpose as already expressed
in the previous resolutions, of $780,
000."
Maj. Gen. Greely, wiring from San
Francisco to the war department, says
that systematic arrangements are be-
Ing made to distribute under Red
Cross regulations clothing and other
like materials to the homeless and
destitute. The condition of thousands
of refugees, particularly, he adds, is
terrible from lack of clothing.
San Francisco, May 9.-"The food
situation Is more cheerful" said Gen.
Greedy on Tuesday. 'It seems to be
working itself. out. If we had to con-
tinue feeding 100000 persons our
visible supply would not last long. But
many are going to work and will buy
their meals as soon as there is a
chance to get good ones at low fig
ure. In this connection Maj. Febiger
is at work establishing five kitchens
where meals will be served free to
destitute persons and at the price of
Is cents each to others. | hope that
this practical relief will prove the ulti-
mate solution of the food problem.
have guaranteed the expenses Of
these cheap eating places and believe
they will be success. If the free
kitchens are a success all tickets will
finally be for meals instead of ra-
tions."
Two men were arrested Tuesday for
selling liquor and were held in $4,000
bail.
The bankers say that under normal
conditions the banks could not be
more prosperous than they are at
present. The expected stampede for
funds has not materialized and the de-
posits exceed the disbursements.
Already counterfeiters are at work
In San Francisco and the city appears
to have been flooded with spurious 25
cent pieces.

Why not give the cheery word, the
truthful word that will brighten the
load Of fellow burden bearer.
Do we not deprive the. world Of q
Joy we might have given when we do
not hasten to speak the pleasant
truth?
: There are truths which are 80 Joy
GUS that It is only gladness to speak
them--truths which seem to have no
unpleasant side at all.
Happiness is quality OF which we
might obtain larger share than
usual IL we determined to discover
the pleasing side Of the most unpleas-

Now II one side is always more
pleasing than the other, why, the ques-

There is always more than one side
to truth. Two sides, at least can be

son and those whose minds are COM
plex can readily see many sides to
the same question.
