OF the woman's committee of the

quite a success.

cost than otherwise.

is hoped that many more will avail
themselves of the opportunity of be-
coming members of the club. ANY,
one who is contemplating doing any
canning this season will find il to
their advantage to be at Belleville
school tomorrow morning at 8. Mrs.
III. T. Malone is captain for this
ward, with Mrs. A. ]. Amuedo, as as

that owing to high cost of sugar, etc.,
that the cost of canning is a costly
proposition, but the ladies desire to
let the public know that they used
one-half portion of syrup with every
half portion Of sugar, this cutting
down the cost You should visit
the class and then you will be con-
vinced that it is to your advantage

APPEAL FOR WORKERS
FOR RED CROSS

The following letter has been ad-
dressed to the different clergymeu
of our district and will undoubtedly
meet with the response of our peO-
pie:
Algiers, La, July 81. 1918.
Reverend Sir
The Algiers Branch of the New
Orleans Chapter, American Red Cross
has been assigned an enormous
amount of work for the comfort of
| soldiers and sailors and for the re-
| lief of the refugees in the battle
| ridden section of our allied coun-
tries. To do this work properly and
to meet all the requirements OF a
! Branch Chapter, it is necessary that
we have the services of many more
| volunteers. The women now work
ing with tie Branch which formerly
was presided over by Miss Ella Rees
and which | now have the distinction
to head, have performed excellent
service for this great humanitarian
cause; but they cannot do all the
work allotted our Chapter and | am
going to urge you in the name of
suffering humanity to make a strong
appear " the IlellDeTS VI your con-
gregation to report to the Algiers
Branch headquarters.
We are a non-sectarian society
and the rooms of the Algiers Branch
are open to all willing workers who
are members of the American Red
Cross. Those associated with me
in this wonderful work will gladly
welcome members of all religious
beliefs. OF one fact you can rest
assured, and that is Red Cross work
ers are treated as Americans and not
as individuals.
Should you elect to bring this to
the attention of your parishioners
in your sermon next Sunday, would
thank you especially to lay particu-
lar stress on the fact that we are
merely an American institution and
that we are working to the common
end-helping to win the war.
Sincerely approaching your hearty
cooperation and valuable help, /
have the honor to remain. with re-
spect,
Yours very truly,
MRS. ELLA MILLS,
Chairman, Algiers Branch A. r. c.

TWO-POUND SUGAR RULE WILL
STAND.

People of New Orleans must obey
the latest injunction of the govern
ment and not use more than two
pounds of sugar each per month, and
restaurants also must obey the law.
By so doing they will show their pa
triotic spirit and that the trust which
John M. Parker, federal food admin
istrator, has placed in them by not
requiring cards, is justified.
Mr.. Parker made this statement
Friday. He said that the people of
city and state had shown so far that
they were willing to obey the law
and that he felt no fear that they
would violate this latest dictum of
the government, and insist on more
sugar than they were allowed.
