Commission 10 France has established 8
system of thirteen large warehouses thru

alton of this new war relief distribution
system. organized since the arrival Of
the Red Cross Commission in Paris in
June, have just been received by the
Red Cross War Council.
SIX Of the new Red Cross warehouses
have been located in Paris. which serves
as the center Of the distribution system.
Ten other warehouses are located in de-
partments outside the capital and from
these supplies are distributed by motor
trucks, and every other available means
Of transportation, to hospital and other
institutions.
Approximately fifteen thousand tons Of
materials are now being distributed
monthly from these warehouses by the
Red Cross Commission. A large pro
portion of these supplies is received di-
rectly from the United States and is for
warded by the Red Cross Supply Service
from Chapter work rooms and from re-
lief societies affiliated with the Red
Cross. Owing to the great shortage of
ocean tonnage, large quantities Of sup
plies have been purchased by the Red
Cross Commission In France.
Plans are now under way to increase
the warehouse facilities OF the Commits
sion at French seaports. At present
these are very limited, but as soon as
additional storage space can be provided
greater quantities Of supplies from the
United States can be handled.
The stocks Of goods carried by the

WITH HIGHER wages EN-

WITH HIGHER wages employers
are demanding higher efficiency from
employees. Men and women must be
able to meet the conditions imposed,
and for that reason those who indulge
in habits which destroy the tissues
Of either muscle or brain, must fall
below the rate of wages paid to those
who live clean lives, and maintain
their ability to deliver the best re-
suits either in brain or laborious
labor with members of the body. A
dull, sodden brain or body cannot
meet the days work and get the best
results for the employer; for that
reason alone, if no other, all employ
ers have a right to demand sober and
moral living from those they pay
regular wages. This is a personal
privilege which the employer has for
his protection.

THE SUGAR HOG" is abroad in
the land. and now in the stringency OF
supplying France with sugar. the peo-
pie have been asked to curtail their
use of sugar. There are many people
in all communities who are attempt
ing to grab off and store away sugar .
This displays the 'hoggish" instincts
of the person. 1t is frankly announc-
ed by the government that this strin-
gency will last only until the new
crop Of sugar comes in during No
vember, and the supply will again be
normal. But, Notwithstanding this,
individuals in every community. and
right here in Milford, have bought
store of sugar sufficient to last their
family until next spring season opens.
Families of two and three have laid
in one hundred and more pounds.
This causes those who are just as
worthy to be supplied as they, but
who cannot afford to expend the
money, to be deprived of any sugar.
1t is a condition which must be rem
edied, and will be remedied, if con-
ditions grow to an acute stage, by
confscation Of private stores of sugar.
