RED CROSS ACTIVITIES,

The following cablegram has Just
been received By the American Red
Cross from the Paris Headquarters OF
the organization:
"a report from Evian announces
the American Red Cross opened a
children's dispensary Tuesday in the
garage of the Old Hotel Chatelet now
the American Children's Hospital.
The Evian hospital was opened ten
days earlier with seventy beds and is
already over-crowded with diptheria,
measles, scarlet fever and whooping
cough cases.
"The American doctors twice daily
examine an average Of $50 children
arriving from behind the German
lines and send contagious cases to
the American hospital. Every con-
tagious case thus stopped may mean
an epidemic prevented somewhere in
France. An American dentist has
opened dental dispensary in the old
kitchen with a dental chair improvis-
ed from a wine barrel.
Among the first dispensary pa
tients was an underfed boy from
Lens. His family of seven had been
living two and half years in the
cellar under their totally wrecked
house valued at 100000 francs. The
family was evacuated last April to
Luxembourg and lived seevn in one
room, sleeping on straw.
In the first week of the Ameri- |
can dispensary at Evian over 2,4OO
were examined, more than
1900 being between the ages of three
and thirteen years."

Federal Income Tax Of

lin

In a communication received bv this
paper, Collector of Internal Revenue
j. Y. Fauntleroy, whose office is in
the U. S. Custom House, New Or
leans, announces that Federal In
come Tax Officer will be sent into
this parish to the following places on
the dates mentioned:
Morgan City at Post Office. Jan
uary % to February . inclusive.
Franklin, at Court House February
4 to February 8.
The Income Tax Officer will be ON
duty during the entire day. ready
and willing to help persons subject to
the income tax to make cut their re-
turns without any cost to them for
his services.
How many income Tax Payers
will there be in st. Mary Parish? If
you can guess how many married per-
sens living with wife or husband will
have net incomes of $4,000 or over
and how many unmarried persons
Will nave net incomes Of 81 900 or
over this year, then you know. Col
lector Fauntleroy estimates that
there viii be 1850 taxpayers in this
Parish.
Returns of income FOR the year
1917 must be made on forms provid-
ed for the purpose before March /.
1918. Because good many people
don't understand the law and won't
know how to make out theier returns,
the Government is sending in this ex-
pert to do it for them. But the duty
is on the taxpayer to make himself
known to the Government. If he
doesn't make return as requested be-
fore March he may have to pay pen
atty ranging from $50 to $1,000, pay
a fine or go to Jail So if you don't
want to take chances on going to Jail,
you'd better call on the income tax
man. If you are not sure about be-
ing subject to the tax, better ask
him and make sure. Whether you see
the income tax man or not, you
must make return if subject to tax.
OF course, all persons affected are

Help Make Il Fifteen
Million By Christmas
Day

/ One week, ending Christmas Day,
| has been set aside in which to in
crease the membership of the Ameri-
can Red Cross by 100000 men,
bers, and, this means that the entire
people of the United States must
awake to the wonderful work being
done by this great business corpora
ton, managed by the great brains Of
the country-at no cost-and finan-
ced by the generous whole-hearted
citizens.
The American Red Cross is the
greatest manufacturing concern in
the world. It employs over ten mil
lions of people in their workshops.
All are working for the one great
cause-comfort of our soldiers; the
care of the widows and orprans, the
| wounded and cripple, the destitute
and hungry. These ten millions Of
people receive no compensation in
this wonderful mandatory. Millions
are knitting, millions are rolling the
bandages which will soon be needed
by our own people-possibly by our
own sons. There are workers need
ed. There is greater demand for
finished goods, for the hospitals, for
the trenches and for the men them
selves, who are being called upon to
face the biting winds Of the winter.
There is hardly a family in the
United States which does not count
at least one member among the men |
in the Army and Navy. The Red
Cross knows no country, state nor
section. The sons of the poor whose
families are not able to supply the
comfort, are remembered by the Red
Cross and have the Red Cross to
thank for the warm sweaters they are
now.
The Red Cross movement should
hardly be classed as campaign of
an association of men and women. It
IS the great spirit of Americanism,
he wonderful spirit which prompts
all Americans to help their men.
It is the spirit of Brotherly Love con-
;olidated into a great business en-
,erprise in which there is no profit
and whose aim it is to spread COM
Fort and assistance wherever and
whenever it is needed. 1t eliminates
red tape and acts instantly.
The Gulf Division of the American
Red Cross is counting upon the peo-
Die of Alabama, Louisiana and Miss !
ssippi to make this divisions mem
oershp reach 100000 and there is
10 reason why this should not be.
When we join the Red Cross, our
.hapter right here at home, we be-
,ome one of the millions of workers
Who are making the path of our
young men, who have undertaken the

Cannon Says Housewives Can
Cut Bills BY Common
Sense Cooking

Gas consumers in Honolulu noticed
that their bill for December ! showed
an increase in the cost Of gas. For in
stance, the small consumer, who al.
ways kept his gas within the mini
mum, found that his bill was 81 in
stead or $1.75, and the larger consum.
er found that he was being charged
at the rate of $1.75 a thousand for the
first 1000 cubic feet and $3.50 thou
sand for the rest instead of the old
charge of $3.50 a thousand for the
first 1000 and $1.25 for all gas in ex.
cess of 2,0oo feet.
No general complaint has been
made about these bills, but there Is 4
low murmur of resentment going o.
among consumers, who feel that il !
just one more addition to the hi
cost OF living, and they wonder no,
they are going to stand it.
Looking at the matter from both
sides, the consumer really has no
cause for complaint Gas, says the
company manager, F. Q. Cannon, is
sold here much cheaper than at many
points on the mainland, and in some
places where the oil used to produce
the gas lies practically at the door of
the manufacturer. Moreover, the in
crease in price to the Honolulu con-
sumner is only about 16 % per cent,
he says, which is probably less than
half the increased cost of producing
gas.
Not only have we increased wages
and salaries wherever they were need
ed to meet the high cost of living but
the cost of equipment and material
has gone up from so to 400 per cent
since the war began" said Cannon.
Appliances and all materials used
have increased from 10 to 400 per cent

Mr.. Cannon holds, however, that

Common sense ought to tell anyone
that when soup, vegetables or any
thing else has reached the boiling
point that 1t will cook just as fast,
and taste better II It is allowed mere
" to boil The gas should be turned
just high enough to keep up the boil
ing. Any higher simply produces
evaporation. The same thing Is true
OF baking. Cooks should be taught TO
regulate their gas Just so 1t win pro-
duce the amount OF heat required to
cook. not to dry out the food.
Everybody in Honolulu who uses
gas now wastes it. This should be
~5gped. we mad one customer who
