Tho Registration Of War Charities.

The humane instincts OF the American
people have resulted in the creation of
numerous agencies for the collection of
funds and material for the alienation of
the suffering of the nOncornbatants of
warning Europe. Similar agencies are
already at work for the rendition of as
sistanceM in needed cases in the event of
war by this country, as we'll as for the
promotion of such auxiliary military work
as the provision of medical and hospital
service. and the like.
1t has been the experience OF the war
ring countries that in the prosecution of
this work gross frauds have been prac-
ticed both by and against business in
terests in the collection of funds, and in
the collection and purchase OF supplies.
To remedy this. and to standardiZe the
activities of such organizations. regula-
lions have been imposed practically sub
tecting them to governmental regulation
and supervision.
In England no agency may be created
or used for the collection of either funds
or supplies for sO-called war charities"
unless duly registered by the municipal
authorities. who are required to ascertain
that the organization will work In good
faith for strictly charitable or other prop
err purposes.
The regulations require thai there be- a
responsible committee in charge: that
prOper minutes he kept of all meetings.;
that accounts be kept in regular shape
and periodically audited; and that all
funds be kept in separate bank accounts
designated to the authorities.
The registration OF an agency is made
fevocable where. from an inspection of
the records or otherwise, improper con-
duct or exactions or disbursements are
discovered, and provision is made for
Immediately ~impounding funds OH hand
where registration is revoked, and for the
transfer Of the funds to an Official board
of trustees.
The extent to which war charities have
developed in this country suggests the
advisability of similar precautions being
taken in our various states, so as to pre-
vent the preparation of the gross frauds
and injustices which have uniformly been
discovered where free license and reign
were given. This is a measure of prOtec-
ton to all proper, agencies. as we'll as a
%precaution and guarantee against inn
prope or fraudulent exactions and dis
bursements.

ness in this direction is surpassed
only by that OF it's larger congener.
the goshawk, which occasionally in
autumn and winter enters the United
States from the North in great num-
bers. The ALMOST universal prejudice
against birds OF prey Is largely due to
the activities Of these two birds, as
sisted by third. the sharp-shinned
hawk, which in habits and appearance
might well pass for small Cooper's
hawk. These birds usually approach
under cover and drop upon unsuspect-
Ing victims, making great inroads
upon poultry yards and game coverts
favorably situated for this style OF
hunting. Out of 1873 stomachs exam
ined. 38 contained the remains of
mammals. Twenty-eight species of
wild birds were identified in the above
mentioned material. This destructive
hawk, together with It's two near rela-
tlves, should be destroyed by every
possible means.

When uncomfortable, slowly rise, and

Train your chest muscles of them

addition to the breathing exercises,
raise the chest many times a day by
its own mussles. Lower it to the
limit, then raise it to the limit without
breathing.
Remember that in proper breathing

directions. With the chest in proper
position, this will not raise it's upper

flat on the back, see that the abdomen

Train the abdominal muscles by
daily exercise to be the strongest in
your body, as they should be, protect
ing organs not surrounded by bony
structure. In delicate conditions no
sudden movements should be taken,
but very slow, with particular care
not to give the least effort or strain.
Of course the abdominal movements
cannot be as strong and marked in
such case.
Some physicians are against all
breathing exercises, because hemorr-
hage may come during one of these
breaths. My position is, that it will
come sure if you wait for the germs
to eat through the walls of your
lungs, and often does come in the
middle Of the night when there is no
action even in coughing. If any one
prefers this eating process to the
chance that hemorrhage might come
