EVERY MAN AND WOMAN
In MICHIGAN
SHOULD DO THEIR BIT.

Lansing, Mich, May 23.-There is no
reason why every man in the state and
even women and children should not
do their part in this crisis. This is the
view expressed by State Dairy and
Food Commissioner Fred L. Wood
worth, who is directing movements
designed to make Michigan contribute
its maximum output in foodstuffs.
Michigan has demonstrated its read
mess to help the nation prepare" con-
tnued the dairy and food commissioner.
among the western states think we
may be said 10 be in the vanguard. Re-
cruiting is going along pretty well, but
we must remember that we need more
than fighting men. With our forces in
the field and at sea, we have got to
furnish them food. There are hundreds
OF ways by which the men now in
eligible for army and navy service may
contribute to preparedness.
There is the need to eliminate
waste. Everyone knows that the aver
age family throws away enough food
every day to keep one or two persons
well nourished. II is the first duty of
the housewife to make every ounce of
the household supplies effective. There
are countless little tricks of household
economy which will go a long way to
conserving Michigan's supply of food
stuffs.
''The men who do not come within
the age limits may still do we'll in the
home guard where they will not only
be of immediate service, but obtain
training that will make them efficient
soldiers, if the time should come when
the Uuited States must face invasion.
"The movement to put school boys
on the farm is well advanced here.
This branch of activity certainly opens
up the way for the school boys to do
greater service than were he forced in
to the trenches. Indeed there is real
reason to believe that universal duty
well done now may prevent the need
for universal fighting later on.
PERSONALLY believe it the duty Of
every young man who is eligible, to
join the colors now. Every man who
joins now may well be said to be worth
two at later day when our soil is
threatened by an invading army. The
girls and women would do we'll to dress
simply. Dollars spent in finery today
may grow to almost inestimable values
later. The movement to train women
in first aid is another good feature. But
just now, perhaps because of the posi-
ton occupy in the state administra.
ton, feel that the greatest service any
stay-athome can render is to help in.
crease the production of foodstuffs and
conserve the supply"

ORGANIZATION AND WORK
OF THE RED CROSS
AUXILIARIES.
tContributed.]

A number of questions have been
asked in regard to the organization and
work of the Red Cross Auxiliaries
located in East Jordan and elsewhere.
Since the work is similar to all Auxilar-
les and the rules and names of the COM
mittees appointed are dictated by a
charter from Washington. D. c., there
is no leeway left for local choice. AS
there is no salary of percentage of any
kind for even State Red Cross officers,
only those can accept the work who
can give at least few moments daily
of their time to the Red Cross Supply
and Organization Work. There are
four officers elected. The names of
these officers were published in last
weeks paper. Their duties re similar
to those of like officers of the same
officers in other societies. There is
one exception to do with the formation
Of County Chapter, which govern this
auxiliary. All membership fees will
be paid to the Secretary, Miss Ethel
Crowell. She may deduct the proper
portion which belongs to the County
Chapter, mailing this direct to the
County Red Cross Treasurer. The re-
mainder she must send to Washington
division, with full description of each
membership and an account indicating
all that has been paid into the County
Chapter, as well as to the national
head-qr arters. This money belonging
the County Chapter may legally be
used for packing and shipping pack
ages only, and expenses incident there
to This leaves our local Auxiliary
with no regular income but yet trea-
surer is provided in the charter. This
treasurer, Mrs. Cameron, is to receive
all money raised from the tea-room,
special donations, benefits, and the
money may be paid out for the pur-
chase of supplies or other material for
Red Cross work. She has had in her

possession for the use Of our local
Auxiliary $27.60, raised in brief cam
paign selling tickets. A large portion
of this has already been spent by the
surgical supply committee in purchas-
ing one bolt of unbleached cotton for
making arm sings, one bolt Of good
muslin for surgical bonnets, bed shirts,
and operating jackets, dexter cottonr
and knitting needles, and ordering
bolt of good white outing flannel for
operating and bed socks. The volun.
teer workers coming up any afternoon.
may assist in the cutting and stitching
OF these garments. They do not need
to be members to enter and begin work.
The executive committee consists rcf
three members and is the only CON-
mittee elected. II is the sole duty Of
this committee to appoint all other.
committees, to organize the work ar
ranged for by the charter and to- assist
the committees in any way necessary In
carrying out this work.
The papers received from Washing.
ton call for number of military relief
committees. So far only five of these
committees have been appointed. The
surgical supply committee, consisting,
Of Mesdames Bell, Clemensa and Suffern,
has the immediate task of purchasing
from limited funds, all wool yarn and
cloth necessary to keep the sewing
machines steadily grinding out gar O
ments for hospitals back Of the fighting
line in France and other war centers.
II will be our duty to see that these
garments are neatly folded and laid in
boxes on the shelves to await orders
from the packing committee of the
county chapter. They should be In
immediate touch with the chairman a.
to the amount of supplies on hand and
the garments which will need to be
made. The committee for the instruc-
ton of the women consisting Of Mes
danes Bretz, Zerwekh and Severy,
must see that the garments are correct
ly and accurately made. They may re.
ceive volunteers to do thu cutting,
allow those who wish to baste seams,
and others to do the stitching IL they
wish, but II is their first and foremost
duty to see that every hem is exactly
the size of the sample sent us from
headquarters, that it lies smooth and
flat and that there Is not q particle Of
lint or a single ravelling In sight, and
that it is within one one-hundredth Of
an inch the size called for. These gar.
ments 90 to hospitals where wounded
men are brought in by the hundreds,
and one ravelling or one flaw, causing
one moments delay, may mean the life
Of some one with dear ones, at home.
All workers should therefore, feel IL D
privilege to be criticised, and should
cheerfully see that as standard. The
committees do not mean to be criticni
but merely helpful, when they super.
wise your work. The first aid instruc.
ton committee consists OF Mesdamsss
Blount, Wilmington and Webster. Il
endeavors to find ways and means Of
organizing girls training class in this
city. AS soon as their work Is ready,
it will be written up in full. The re-
freshment committee consisting Of
Mesdames Hudson, Price and Miss
Agnes Porter, will see that light re-
freshments will be served every after
noon except Saturdays and Sundays
in one corner Of the Armory. This VII

CAPTAIN M'GREG0R WILL STAND BY
 WRECK OF AL-M

No word as to the condition of the wreck of the Al-Ki has been re- ceived in Juneau today. Captain McGregor left this morning on the launch Quarida for the scene and will stand by until boat can be secured to assist in salving the bag gage and other movable things from the boat. If no boat can be char tered here it is possible that the steamer Dispatch will be sent to the scene by the Seattle Steamship Company, providing the wreck has not parted and sunk by that time.
 The passengers of the steamer were all cared for while here by the Seattle Steamship Company Their expenses while in the city were paid and their money was refunded. Many of them left on the Admiral Watson this morning for the south.

Tenakee to purchase an old bell from the city for $10 was turned down until a report can be secured by the fire committee as to the ac- tual value of the bell.
 The school board was allowed $2,000 from their appropriation io p'y current salary claims.
 The bill from the Alaska Juneau Company for the installation of the salt water high pressure system was presented and ordered paid. The entire cost of the system was S19,- G92.99. Of this sum the Alaska Ju- neau has already received $6,2S5.6O, which is half their original con tract price, and will receive like amount in tax remittances. The sum of $1.700 will also be absorbed by the Alaska Juneau, being the diff. ference between the contract price and the actual cost of the first half of the work.

SUITE IN AN OFFICE
 NOT DWELLING HOUSE

VICTORIA, B. C., Nov 3.-De- spite the wide publicity already ex- tended to the more intricate sec tions of the B C. Prohibition Act, there are still doubts in many quar- ters relative to the exact meaning of the term dwelling house"
 Commissioner Findlay has given his interpretation to this section of the act and declares that any build ing occupied or used or partially occupied or used as an office or a place of business or the whole of such building is not entirely occu- pied as a dwelling or dwellings may not be termed a dwelling house within the meaning of the act.
 That is to say. suite of rooms situated in a building in which there are stores or offices or any other public place do not constitute private "dwelling-house" in keeping with the provisions of the act.
 This he says, is clearly defined in full detail, in section three and subdivision "A" of the act, the es- sence of which is as follows: "Pri- vate dwelling house means separ- ate dwelling with separate door for ingress and egress and actually and exclusively occupied and used as a private residence"

Bishop PhiIipp Of Alaska Russian Church Make a Trip to Pet
 rograd.
TO SEE ABOUT FUNDS
Owing to Trouble in Rus sia Has Been No Appropriation for
 Some Time.

It may be found necessary to dis continue Russian churches in Alas ka, because of the lack of an ap- propriation. Bishop Philipp, of the Russian Church of Alaska, is now on his way from Sitka to Juneau, and will leave here on the next boat for Seattle, to go to Petrograd via Vladivostok, for the purpose of trying to secure enough money from the Holy Synod, which contributes the mission fund, to keep the church es going.
 Owing to the turmoil of internal affairs in Russia, no Alaska church appropriation has been resolved for some time.
 The Russian Church is closely iden- tified with the history of Old Alas ka, having been established before it's transfer to the United States. Priceless art and other historic rel ics are contained in several of them. It is hoped that the church in Jul neau at least may be maintained.
