COOPERATION OF RED CROSS
IN UNITED WAR DRIVE.

/ All chapters of the Gulf Division
Of the American Red Cross are urged
to cooperate with the United War
Work campaign the week of Novem-
Der 18th to 18th, and / am quoting,
for information, the minutes of the
War Council on this subject:
"Ihe War Council OF the American
Red Cross urges she utmost CO oper-
stion on the part If its chapters
and members throughout the couh-
try with the United War campaign
to be carried on in the week of No
vember 18th to 18th, by the National
Government. The work of these or
CARNATIONS is Of inestimable impor-
lance and every American citizen
should support their campaign gen.
erously and Fundamentally. In line
with the above appeal, the War
Council calls the attention of Red
Cross Chapter workers and members
to the statement of Assistant Sec
rotary of War Keppel, published in
the official United States Bulletin of
September 18th, to the following eff
feet :
at was natural that the organi-
cations which were responsible for
providing recreation facilities to the
troops should merge their campaigns
in as much as they are engaged in a
common program. Of service y 1888
Balancing this United Drive in the
fall for these organizations will be
Red Cross Drive in the spring.
"In view of the foregoing and in
order that there may be no confu-
sion, the Red Cross War Council will
not authorize any campaign for Red
Cross for the National Organization
either directly or indirectly during
the time in which the United War
Work campaign is carried on. That
campaign is for a special purpose
and is entitled to present it's appeal
to the American people and to have
that appeal receive complete and gen.
erous support. In response to the
American Red Cross appeal last
approximately hundred sew
enty eight million dollars was snb-
scribed. The demands upon the Red
Cross are enormous much larger
than was ever anticipated, and those
demands are increasing. The organ
is, nevertheless, in possession
of sufficient funds to finance all re-
quirements for the immediate pre-
sent. 1t is al yet impossible to es-
innate the opportunities and obliga-
tions which will confront the Red
Cross in the New Year, but a cam
paign for funds will of necessity be
made in the spring. 1t is also felt
by the War Council that the Red
Cross appeals for funds should be re-
as essentially for relief and
as set fourth in the above
statement by the War Department,
be made on distinctive occasions.
The Red Cross is chartered by Con-
gress as a National Agency for re-
lief; this membership numbers near
ly thirty million American. The
War Council feels, therefore, that the
public should be free to make it's re-
Spouse to National Red Cross ap-
peals directly and exclusively and
not through War Chest or in combi-
nation with other appeals for funds.

THE WASTEFUL WAY

ANY MAN who pays his income tax cheertuly and to WI the last farhng rebels in spirit the demands of charity
 The minds of citizens for these purposes may be divided into two classes those who give freely to charity but dees the income tax and those who the income tax ungrudgn ly, but detest contributions for charity.
 There is something appealing about contribution to char iy It tends to create swelling the bosom feeling of do ing good by voluntary preference And charity has it's public sde that those do of all and most constituted that the element of public appreciation brings its glow of satisfaction.
 But the income tax is matter of cold duty. is paid in the dark There public applause to accompany the men but pains and penalties the duty not perform
 What class of men, then prefer payment to income tax payment to charity? Generally speang 1t IS the organizing class those who trying to make one blade of grass grow grew To such minds the activities charity measured against the activities of the income tax gaherer distaseful because of their waste.
 government expense paid for from the proceeds of government expense met with the least possible waste incurred in gathering the income But war charity like other charity is wastefu.
 Take typical charity collection, in which hundreds of competent withdrawn from their private affairs din served printing obtained; advertisements are pur chased busy take freely of the time of other busy in determination of what will be fair donaton The auto mobiles employed the gasoline that is burned but trifng details in a great schedule of waste.
 How much easier, it would be, how much simpler, how much cheaper and how much effective if the cost of essary war charities were obtained by taxation.
 There is this justification for the present system of war charities, and this only that of in such mental attitude that donations to charity offends less than smaller compulsory donation taken by tax.
 The method by taxation is certainly the most efficient and the cheapest but the method by private charity is probably accordance with the psychology of the and hence the best for the present, that can be done.

Lemons Whiten and Beautify the Skin!
 Make Cheap Lotion


 The juice of two fresh lemons strained into bottle containing three ounces of orchard white makes a whole quarter pint of the most re- markable lemon skin beautif1er at about the cost one must pay for a small jar of the ordinary cold creams. Care should be taken to strain the lemon juice through a fine cloth so no lemon pulp gets in, then this lotion will keep fresh for months. Every woman knows that lemon juice is used to bleach and remove sucn bIemishes as freckIes. salIowness and tan and is the ideal skin softener, smoothener and beautif1er.
 Just try it! Make up a quarter pint of this sweetly fragrant lemon lotion and massage it daily into the face, neck, arms and hands. It should naturally help to whiten, soften, freshen, and bring out the hidden roses and beauty of any skin It is wonderful for rough, red hands Your druggist will sell three ounces of orchard white at little cost, and any grocer will supply the lemons.- Adv.

S4O,OOO FIRE
 IN BALTIC, CONN.

Baltic, March 12-An early morning fire today destroyed the Shannon building in Railroad street, a three story structure, with a loss of about $40, 900. The cause of the fire is un- known. It started in the rear of the drygoods store of Charles F. Charon on the street floor, and was spreading throughout the building when the vil- lage fire department responded. The first effort to call the Norwich depart ment for help failed because telephone wires had been burned. Finally an automobile engine with a, crew was brought here by Chief H. L. Stanton.
 As the shannon building was quick 1y doomed, every effort was directed to saving adjoining property and this was successful.
 In the burned building were the stores of Charles F. Charon, drygoods; John Brown, bakery; the Baltic phar- macy and F'ontain's barber shop. On the second floor was a hall and offices, and above that were apartments. Mr. Charon owned the building. Among individual losses were these: Charon, s15,0O0 on his store and con- tents, and $1S,0O0 on the building; the pharmacy, $5,O0O; Brown, 5000; and F'ontain, $59e.
 On the east side Jodoin's theatre was protected by the f1remen.

ADOLPH OCHS

The greatest success in New York Journalism since Joseph Pulitzer took charge of the World and made it na- tionally influential has been scored by Adolph~ s. Ochs with the New York Times. The president and publisher of the great journal which now ranks among the foremost newspapers of the world was born in Cincinnatti, of Jew ish parents, sixty years ago today. He began his newspaper career as a "newsy'' in Knoxville, Tenn, at the age of nine. At fifteen he was prin- ter's devil, and at seventeen a jour neyman printer. While working in the composing room of the Knoxville Tribune he "doubled' as a reporter and at nineteen he was solicitor for the Dispatch, a Chattanoga paper. At twenty he bought the Chattanoga Times, which had failed, getting the property for a song. He was without l capital, but had plenty of energy and ability, and soon paid off his debts and made the Times a prosperous pa per.
 In 1896 MT. Ochs invaded New York and obtained possession of the Times. In the days of Henry R. Ray | mond The Times had been numbered among the great newspapers of New York, but when MT. Ochs took hold of it the property had been tottering on the brink of failure. Like the l World, when Joseph Pulitzer assumed it's management, The Times was ap- parently on it's last legs, but Mr. Ochs soon injected new life and vigor into it. He reduced the price to one cent,
 but kept the high standard of the
 higher priced papers. It was a hard battle, but he triumphed. over all ob- stacles, and today The Times has
 gained an eminence where it's editor
 ials on the war are often cabled to
 Europe and are quoted and comment
 ed on by the leading journals of Great 1 Britain and France

NEW RULING ON
 CLEARANCES OF PLEASURE BOATS

Fully 1000 private owned yachts under 16 tons, must obtain clearance pepers to either leave a United States port for another country or entering any port in this country from a for cign port, according to orders receiv- ed this morning by Collector of Port James L. McGovern, from Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo.
 The order revokes the present rules regarding the sailings and move ments of pleasure boats of the 16 ton type or under. Such boats leaving or entering a United States pore from Canada. Cuba or Porto Rico, are af- fected by the new rulings and the crews and contents of the crafts will be inspected by government officials before it is allowed to put in port
