and the long-range bombardment,
says a Havas agency review OF the
committees work which summarizes
The committee also will take into
consideration the question OF the
morale of the poulation: with the
confident assumption that while the
enemy can strike at, he cannot break
down the resolution or courage OF the
people.
This morning the 1ong-range bonn
bardment fof the Paris region was re-
sumed.
Held Excellent Decision.
PARIS, Friday. June THE gov
ernment has made. just in time. an ex-
cellent decision" says the Times, re-
Sa-1icS the decree establishing de.
Tense committee for the intrenched
camp of Paris. This committee will
be charged with the following:
1.-The control and execution of meas
ures relative to the organization. ar
mament and provisioning of the camp
At one point, at least, the experience
of 1914 will have borne fruit
THE German army is not approach
ing so menacingly to Paris now as, to-
ward the end Of August. 1914. but we
hold the enemy army in respect. Wise
heads. not blinded by foolish opti-
mism, estimate that Notwithstanding
the gravity of the, situation. the peril
will be averted by the capital.
Whatever comes, it is the part of
good judgment to be prepared for
everything. 1t Is the best means OF
saving all.
Feeble brains alone believe that
death is invited by the writing of
wills. or that a mans house will burn
down because he insured it. Amid all
garrulity and unknowing fear. it is
good that the government makes
heard it's clear and virile word"
The committee will begin its work
Immediately and will hold the first
formal session tomorrow to examine
the situation.

 FOR SAVING FOOD
 BY THE ESKIMOS

SEATTLE, June 4.-Eskimos of Alaska's far northwestern rim are being urged to help win the war by falling in line with the Food conser- vation and home gardening move ment b.' The Eskimo, United States Government Native school publica- tion issued at Nome, Alaska.
 Eat more Ipanee told-time) food and less of the white mans flour and sugar this year." said a recent editorial in the paper The white mans food costs too much now. But the Ipanese meats and berries and don't buy so much of the high cost ing grub.
 "The President of the United States has asked all Americans to save flour because he wants to spare a lot of it for the soldiers in Eur ope."
 Gather all the berries and roots you can and put them up for Winter Some of you live in places where there are vegetable gardens. In these places raise twice as many vegetables as last year."

GOVERNMENT IS GOING INTO THE
 MOVIE BUSINESS

NEW YORK, June 4.-Realizing ment for soldiers training in the National Army and National Guard cantonments throughout the coun- try, the Government of the United States for the first time in history, has undertaken the task of provid- ing dramatic amusements of high order and, to maintain and improve the standards already set, has gone into the bushes of theatrical man. agement. The success already achieved, according to a resume of the situation compiled by the Com mission on Training Camp Activi- ties of the War Department, in charge of the work, augurs well for the continuation and expansion of the work.
 As a first step, the War Depart ment constructed in each of the sixteen National Army cantonments theatre seating 2500 or 5000 per- sons, and in each of the sixteen National Guard cantonments, smaller one with capacity be- tween 1000 and 1900. In each of these theatres there is being pre- sented nightly a dramatic, musical or vaudeville performance for which the admission charged is twenty five cents.
 The plays presented are all Broadway successes of past years, given by excellent companies, the numbers of which have given their services at greatly reduced salar- ies. Royalties have been waived by the authors and the scenery and costumes have been donated by va rious theatrical managers. Some of the actors appeared in the original productions.

B. M. Behrends Receives Telegram of Congrat- uIationS from G.

The following self-explanatory tele- gram has been received by E. M. Behrends:

 the splendid results of your
 campaign in Alaska, nearly
 doubling your quota and being
 the first State in the Division

 G. s. FOWLER,
 Washington, D. c. MT. Behrends this morning also received notification from the Kenne- colt Copper Company that $75,O0o has been subscribed to the Red Cross drive and that of this amount $25,- 900 will be credited to Alaska. With the nearly $SO,0O0 already reported, with the $25,O00 from the Kennecott Corporation and with the White House wool fund and the amounts yet to be reported it is safe to say that Alaska will triple the quota of $40, 900, according to MT. Behrends.

TORONTO, June 3.-Another batch of A conscientious objectors were given a rousing send-off at the Union Station.

Weak Lungs

Those who fear they have weak lungs should re-
member that
Fresh air in plenty prevents consumption. Sun
shine kills the germs that cause it.
Choose sunny living rooms. Open the windows
and let the air in, even on cold days. Keep tie
house clean; don't wait for spring. If cOnsump-
tive has moved out of a room, give it and the fur
niture good scrubbing with soap and water.
Stay in the open air as much as possible. Seek
outdoor work for it is vastly better for health than
indoor work. Keep the feet dry.
/ Breathe with deep, long, full breaths to carry
the fresh air to every of your lungs. Do
this every day for several minutes in the morning
and at night with the windows open or while out Of
doors. Breathe thru the nostrils and not thru the
mouth.
Buy simple food-1nilk and eggs, good fresh
meat, cereals, vegetables, bread and butter and
fruit
Live regular life. Get plenty of rest and sleep.
A daily sponge bath or tub is good when follow
ed by brisk rub This is best upon getting up in
the morning
Courage also is important. Remember if you
have consumption you can be helped and there are
good chances for being cured.

Dear Miss Grey: | have been
going steadily with a young
man for a number of months.
But in all that time he has
never taken me to a big show,
but only to a picture show in
our neighborhood. And after
the show he never buys me a
box of candy or a dish of ice
cream, such as all my friends
receive.
I'm getting tired Of going al
ways to the same show and my
mother and sisters are teasing
me and saying he is stingy.
Should not a young man some
times ask a girl before they
leave the house where she
would like to go?
A VEXED GIRL.
Certainly your young mar
friend should consider your pref
erence. That he does not do SC
may be owing to inexperience
rather than to a fixed trait Of
"stinginess." OF course everybody
knows that saving money is g
good habit I'm a young man. But
to go always to the same place
of entertainment is uninteresting
One should go about in order to
keep alive mentally; to know what
is going on in your city. PrOba

You can't see the whole OF a valley IL you are
In it. The only way to see valley is from the
mountain top.
Our important little manufacturers uttered
loud cries of dsmay when Fuel Dictator Garfield is
sued his five-day closing order.
Our little chambers of commerce joined the
dolorous chorus.
Our little congress raised it's voice in walls. To
the honor of labor, be it said, its leaders almost
alone approved.
''StOp the wheels of progress? Close the fac
tories, the plants and mills? Folly and worse than
folly!'' SO shouted the others.
Wilson must rescind the order instantly. Will
son must fire Garfield. But the DIRECTORS were
given pause when the president assured them he
knew all about the order before Garfield issued it!
1t was good and necessary order. He approved
it!
"Why," askedthe senators, "were we not con-
suited! This is an insult to our dignity"
AS if dignity counted in wartime!
But the closing order was enforced. And in
stantly the coal began to move! That is what the
order was fOr-to move the coal. For what good are
munitions of war if ships cannot carry them to
France? And how are coal-less ships to get to
France?
And now all our little DIRECTORS are changing
their tune. They are beginning to cheer for the
closing order Garfield was right. Wilson was
right. The coal is moving!
The manufacturers were in the valley. They
couldn't see anything but manufacturing, especially
their own particular factories The order touched
their pockets.
Now some of the progressive of them are climb
ing the mountain, too.
