HUNDREDS OF BOGUS WIVES
GET PAY OF SOLDIERS BY
FRAUD.

WASHINGTON, d. C.-Thousands
of cases of fraudulent acceptance OF
government allowances intended fer
soldiers or sailors dependents have
been discovered by special investiga,
tors of the Bureau of War Risk In
surance, and campaign of persecut
ion and recovery has been instituted.
AS a result it was announced to-day
that about one-third of the 100000
claiming dependency, who now are re-
ceiving checks, will be dropped from
the rolls when it is shown that they
we're not dependent on soldier before
he entered the service.
There are hundreds of cases in which
women not the wives of soldiers or
sailors are receiving allotments and al
lowance checks, having been named by
the men as their legal wives while the
real wives go without government aid.
Scores of attorneys are understood to
be under investigation for having
charged more than three dollars the
legal limit. for adding persons TO set
allotments or allowance remittnces. All
persons who receive and cash checks
to which the are not strictly entitled
by law are to be cut off from their
remittances. forced to repay the sums
they received .raudalcr tlv and prose.
cuted if criminal intent Is shown.
Already two thousand cases Of ap
parent fraud are under investigation
and new reports are received at the
rate of thirty per day Twenty-Five
thousand cases in which reatives less
closely connected than wives or chill
dren are receiving checks on account
Of soldiers in service on whom they
were not dependents before tie war are
under inquiry and five Thousand Of
these are 20 be compelled 20 make

Tho so,icitude shown BIZ the state of
Michigan for the welfare of her men
In the nations service is matter OF
common knowledge and comment In
all circiesehaving 20 do with war ac-
lhyities. The state is living up 10 this
,enviable reputation by Its latest enter
prise I'm the interests OF Michigan men
In service-the Michigan Bureau OF
Military Relief recently established In
New York City.
This bureau, which is maintained on
an adequate scale by the Michigan
War Preparedness Board. is the first
enterprise OF the kind Undertaken OFF,
cially by any OF the states. Its gen.
ernl purpose Is 10 render aid and COM
fort to oil Michigan soldiers and sail
ors, particularly sick and wounded re-
turning from overseas, and 10 furnish
information TO their relatives and
friends. In the states plan there Is no
intention TO duplicate or supplant any
OF the work that is now being handled
so efficiently by the Red Cross or by
the government itself, but only 10 sup
plement such work by performing serv-
ices that would not regularly be per
formed by any other agency.
The Bureau will endeavor TO ascer-
tain promptly the arrival OF disabled
Michigan men and TO visit them per-
sonally, cheering them with a greeting
from one OF their own "home folks,
and performing such incidental serv-
ices for them as the circumstances may
suggest. The Bureau also will look up
and report upon men In hospitals, In
response 10 inquiries from friends In
Michigan. In this work the Bureau
has the cooperation Of the military
and naval authorities In and about
New York, as well as OF the Rad Cross
and other organizations.
Relatives and friends OF men In serv-
ice are advised not To attempt to visit
them while at hospitals without first
ascertaining just where they are, how
long they will be there, and whether
such visits are practicable. There are
more than half hundred hospitals In
and around New York, and in many
cnses disabled men are received at
llleHt lOSpllulS Oiiy NNlhpoiuiiis, pthib
removed elsewhere within day or two
OF their Arrival. Such removal might
easily tnke place before friends could
reach New York, thus causing needless
trouble, expense and disappointment.
BY inquiring through the Bureau,
friends can ascertain where disabled
men are and whether they may be
visited.

porium run by John Cosina, was raid

In addition 10 Its work In connection
with the sick and wounded, the Bureau
aims 10 minister 10 the comfort and
convenience OF all Michigan men In
service while they are stationed IN and
about New York To this end the
Bureau has established attractive and
commodious headquarters, on the
ground floor. which serves as club
and rest room for Michigan soldiers
and sailors Through the effective CO.
operation OF two Michigan societies,
the Michigan Society OF New York
and the Michigan Women In New York.
the headquarters has been furnished
and equipped In comfortable and home
like manner and one or more members
OF these societies are always In charge
to extend hospitality TO visitors News
papers from all parts OF the state are
received and kept on file writing ma
terials provided. light refreshments
served, and telephones and other con-
veniences placed nj the disposal OF
visitors.
This feature OF the Bureaus work Is
making a great hit with the Michigan
boys la service, and afternoons and
evenings, especially Saturday and Sun
day, the headquarters club room Is
filed with soldiers and sailors who
warmly appreciate the hospitality and
tho chance to get home news and a
real Michigan greeting.
Governor Sleeper and Col. r. @. Van
dercook, secretary OF the War Pre-
paredness Board have taken an active
interest in this new enterprise, and
both OF them spent some time In New
York while the preliminaries were be-
ing worked out. The plan is TO operate
the Bureau under the direction OF COM
petent Michigan men OF affairs who
will serve successfully without COM
pensation. Each will remain as long as
his affairs Will permit. when he Will be
relieved by another. The first director
Is Stuart III. Perry OF Adrian.
Relatives and friends OF Michigan
men in service are invited 10 make In
qulries through this Bureau, and all
communications will receive prompt at
tention. In making inquiries the name
and number of the mans military or
naval unit should always be given.

Dropping Poor Producers Increases
Profits and Improves Breeding.

with feed high in price and In
many cases difficult TO get, 1t is OF the
greatest importance to Gull the poultry
flock this fall.
Culling serves two purposes. First,
Il insures that the feed shall be con-
usmed by the better producing hens,
thereby increasing the profit. Second,
II makes It possible 10 save those best
suited for breeders, both on account OF
their better production and on account
OF their superior strength and vitality.
qualities so essential to layers If they
are to stand up under the severe
strain OF heavy laying.
Under war conditions 1t is impera-
tive that the poor producers be weed
"a o;;.. The Stacker hen must 20.
Culling should be continuous thru
out the year. This continuous culling
should consist of wedding out, when
discovered, any hen which is sick, very
thin or emaciated, which shows evil
dences of nonproduction, weakness or
poor vitality.
The whole flock should also be Civ
en- a careful and systematic culling
at some one time. The hens should
be handled individually and gone over
carefully with the object of dividing
them into two lots, one the better
producers and the other the poorer
producers. From the better producers
IL is also desirable to pick out as
many OF the best as will be needed
for breeders. Mark these hens so that
eggs from them alone will be saved
for Matching. Market those selected
as the poor producers. Save for lay
ing and breeding those selected as the
better producers.
The following are the main points
sumed by the better producing hens,
from the nonlayers:
Sickness and lack of vigor are usu-
ally indicG~ed by listlessness, poor
appetite, dull eye, and dark or blush
color of comb.
In those breeds having yellow legs
the color fades out slowly as the sea-
son advances. The rapidity and de.
gree to which the yellow color is lost
depends to considerable extent upon
the heavlness OF laying During the
mott this color is slowly regained 10
some extent. Hens showing strong
or medium yellow shank color are al
most certainly poor layers. but occa-
sionally poor layers may show pale or
white shanks.
Next week will appear an article on
how to Gull the hens that have been
culled Watch for il.
