Following is his report:
Conditions have been very favorable
during the past two months for those
of our less favored citizens with the
result that there have been fewer de-
mands made upon us. Those instances
which have come to our notice have
been more acute and the suffering
more intense. Sickness has been pre-
valent among the needy though only
few have been suffering with con-
tagious diseases There has been
considerable suffering from severe
colds and throat infections. In sever
al instances there seemed to. be in
dcations of the need of operations al
though but one submitted to the care
Of a surgeon.
Work Done by Office.

this office in touch with fifty-fve sep
arate and distinct families, one of
which was colored. OF this group,
twenty-five were normal married
couples, four widows, four widowers,
three divorced and the same number
Of separated families, two deserted,
ten single men transient, two resi-
dent single men and one each unmar-
ried mother and single woman. Thir-
ty-four families had never asked our
assistance before, while nineteen had
been known to the Office for some
time during the year, and two prev.
ious to November, 1914. These groups
consisted Of 40 individuals, Of whom
eighty were fourteen years of age and
older and sixty under that age. There
were 107 requests for assistance OF
various kinds. In thirty-nine instances
the needy made the original applica-
ton, while relatives and private in
dividuals each reported thirteen fam
flies. Seven investigations were made
at the request of out of town societies

"7he House That Jack Built"


The final rehearsal for THE House
That Jack Built" has given evidence
that the first performance Of that
charming operetta will be rare
treat to those in attendance. No pref
tier spectacle for the eyes and no
more Joyous sounds for the ear can
be seen and heard than the two hun
dred attractive grown.ups and chill
dren who will be seen on the stage
at the Grand tonight. While The
House That Jack Built" has in its
cast many children. it is not written
alone for children, but its appeal is
to the grown-up who has within him
child-like spirit and who appreciates
the attractiveness and sympathy OF
childhood Undoubtedly. too. the
children of our city will receive much
pleasure from seeing this story that
has always appealed to their childish
Imagination. The written page Is
good and pictures are attractive, but
to see the living pictures Of the
Mother Goose tales acting before the
eye Is still better.

HAPPY MEDIUM NOW
 SOUGHT IN PRICES
 FOR THE PARISIANS
Consumers Want Peace Prices
 While Dealers Want War Pro- fits; Government Expects a
 Happy Medium Between Two.

PARIS, Nov. 25.-Louis Malyy Min ister of the Interior, speaking of the outcry Of retail provision dealers and consumers against rising prices of meats and certain provisions says "If the situation is serious it is not alarming ] am under the impression that the measures already taken by the government and those that will be taken will remove all danger of fur ther increases and win provoke some decreases"
 A prominent member of the proyis- ion committee of the central markets sums up the situation this way. Pa ris was spoiled by the astonishingly low cost of living during the first few months of the war Ii is characteris. tic of the Parisian to consider all ben ehts once enjoyed as acquired rigsts On the other hand certain dealers seem to have been intoxicated by stories of fabulous war profits made by certain categories of merchants and manufacturers; they don't intend to be left out of it if they can help it. There you have the explanation of the present conflict between the whole sale and retail provision dealers and the consumer; the consumer wants peace prices and the dealer wants war profits There is a happy medium somewhere and the government will probably dnd it"
 This conflict has made the cheese pavilion at the Central market one of the liyeliest spots in Paris in the early morning hours, It appears that cer- tain dealers have been trying to run a corner in camembert; the women of the Paris creameries are after them with sharp tongues and decayed vege- tables. From four to twelve cents a cheese in June, 1914, camembert has gone up 10 thirteen to twenty cents.

GREAT BRA VERY WAS EXHIBITED DURING
 FIGHTING IN WEST
Awards of Military Medals Dis close Many FeatS of lndivi- dual HerOiSm in Battles at LooS and HuIluCh.

LONDON, Nov 25-More than a
 hundred instances of individual bray
 cry in the hghtine at Loos and Hull
 uch six weeks ago are recounted in
 brief official notes appended to the
 latest list of awards of the military cross and Distinguished Service order. The ten most striking stories are as follows:
 Captain Dennis, Scottish Borderers,
 was wounded in the trenches. but af- ter his wound was bandaged he es- caped from the ambulance and went back 10 his men. advancing with his company until again wounded. He was carried back to a dressing station, from which he disappeared after his wound was dressed. Later he was seen catching up with his company and again cheering them on until he
 was wounded a third time
 Major Gordon, London Artillery, got close up to the German lines to re- connoitre, and although undet heavy | fire, brought back twelve German cap
 tives after having shot one man with
 his revolver
 l Lieut.. Carr London Infantry not iced while directing the removal of grenades from the divisional dump"
 that the fuse of bomb had become ignited. He at once picked it up and
 carried it out of the dugout. It ex-
 ploded just as it left his hand, serious. ly wounding him His coolness saved
 an explosion of many thousand gren- ades and bombs. which would have
 killed scores of men and destroyed the
 entire divisional bomb reserves dur. J ing the heavy operations
 Capt Bird, London Field Ambu- lance on one occasion worked for 20 hours without cessation in tending and dressing the wounded He was twice
 observed carrying wounded on a
 stretcher under rife fire, and for 55 hours was continually exposing him. self to heavy shell fire.
 Lieut. Williams, of the Bluffs" took
 charge of a small party of bombers and attacked the enemy, throwing
 2,OO0 bombs in seventeen hours IL
 was raining all the time, and the damp
 fuses had to be lit from cigarettes.
 Williams was wounded early in the
 fighting but refused to leave his post
 Lieut. Hollwey, Royal Artillery laid a telephone wire through the Hohen-
 zollern Redoubt under heavy fire One leg was disabled before he had gone
 ten yards, but he dragged himself on. the same leg being again fractured by a bullet before be had finished his
 task. When two telephonists endea-
 vored to carry him to safety, he in.

 Capt Williams, Welsh Guards. was in command of a squad of machine guns. After having a wound dressed he went back to his place and contin- ued tQ. direct the work until midnight, although the nature Of his wound com pelled him to lie flat on his back all the time
 Lieut. Wood, Gordon Highlanders. took 275 prisoners in Loos, marched them back under heavy fire with a small escort. and returned with much needed ammunition for the men in the firing line Being by this time the only officer left in his company. he rallied his men on the slope of Hill 70 and held his new position with great bravery and resource.
 Capt Kearsley. Welsh Fusiliers. al- though severely wounded early in the fighting, continued at the front Of his men and msintained his position until he had been hit seven times

At these prices 1t is often unobtaina. ble even at the opening of the market and when buyers ask why, the com mission merchants say all their re- ceipts have been bought up by tele- graph and telephone. Such sales are not according to market rules. All receipts should be sold the day re- ceived by word of mouth, and one dealer who replied in this way was obliged to take to cover before the in- dignation of cheesemongers who saw high piles of cases of camember in front of them but not a box for sale.
 The monopolizers of camembert and other provisions are merchants in the zone of the armies who are making high profits out of soldiers and are able to optbid the Paris retail dealer. A maximum tarin for all provisions sold at the front is a remedy proposed by the prefect of police thus limiting dealers profits and preventing abnor- nal prices.
 Just why tue conflict broke out in the name of camembert does not ap- pear Erie cheese has advanced quite as much and all other varities are from fifty percent to hundred per cent higher. Eggs have also gone up a hundred percent. selling now at from 35 to 50 cents a dozen wholesale. ac- cording to grade Butter which aver. aged 22 cents a pound a year ago has gone to 37 cents This butter and egg question developed a violent incident at the Caen market yesterday when a merchant asking eXhorbitant prices and replying insolently to a custom CTS complaint suffered the mortifca- tion of posing as a target for his own stock used as projectiles by the indig. nant public
 The introduction Of cold storage beef into the market has failed of the anticipated effect on prices and the reason given is that the stockyards people at La Nillette who look as. kance at the imported article. have been able 10 bring sufficient pressure to bear upon retail dealers to prevent Ia favorable presentation Of congealed beef lt is declared that in some cases the imported article was made up" so as to repel prospective buyers.

 The struggle between them and the landowners and merchants has been in progress several months. It has spread throughout New Madrid Coun- ty. Six detectives encamped secretly on the farm of a wealthy landowner and banker against whom the night riders centered their attacks. Their
