ALGIERS BRAICH A. I. C
Owing to the inclement weather
pslbv 4g pn Monday mnight last,
the special meeting of the Algiers
Branch, A. R. C., could not be held,
as there was no quorum. As it is
imperative that we call our members
together this week, to discuss some
important questions governing the
work of the Branch, the special
meeting will be held Thursday, the
4th, at 7:30 P. M. All members of
the Branch are urged to be present
at this meeting.
,Do not forget to send contribu
tions of clothing and material for
the French and Belgian Relief to
K. of C. Hall. Contributions of
money for the purchase of material
and bedding can be sent to the
chairman of the Branch, Miss Ella
M. Rees, 319 Vallette Street, or to
Miss G. Herbert, secretary, 216 Oli
ver street.
We earnestly request that all do
nations be turned in by Saturday the
13th. as all goods must be packed
and delivered to Mrs. Geo. Denegre,
Superintendent of Refugee Clothing,
A. R. C.. U. S. Mint, New Orleans,
on the 15th inst.
The following are the garments
needed:
Men's Wear-Shirts (preferably
of light colored flannels), under
shirts, underdrawers. trousers, coats,
work-suits (overalls), coats (3
pieces), shoes, overcoats, Jerseys,
sweater-vests, socks (sizes 10 1-2 to
11.)
Do not send stiff hate (derbys.
Straw, dress.)
Woman's Wear-Skirts, drawers,
corset-slips, petticoats, blouses, over
coats, suits (2 pieces), shoes, pina
fores, cloth hats, knitted caps, stock
ings (7, 8, 9), shawls.
Do not semd stiff hats mor fancy
slippers.
Boys' Wear-Shirts, union suits,
undershirts, trousers, coats, suite,
shoes, overcoats, Jerseys, socks
(sizes 1 to 9).
Girls' Wear-Dresses, skirts, over
coets, night dre0ses, drawers,
stockings (sizes 1 to 6), undergar
ments, petticoats, suits (2 pieces),
blouses, shoes.
Boys' and Girls' Wear-Hooded
capes, pinafores, woolen union
suits.
Infant's Wear---wani-skin swad
dling clothes, cradle chemises,
bodices, cradle dresses, sweaters,
bonnets, bibs, neckerchiefs. diapers.,
shoes. baby dresses, hooded cloaks,
jackets, shawls, socks.
Miscellaneous-Bed ticks, bed
sheets, pillows, cases, blankets, muf
flers. Men's shirts and pajamas, so
worn or shrunken as no longer to
be serviceable are particularly wel
come, since the material can be
utilised for making children's gar
ments.
The following is an extract from
the appeal sent out by the American
Red Cross:
"It is useless to lend a garment
which is not made of the strongest
and most durable materials, as the
clothes are subjected to the hard
est kind of use. But this does not
mean that all garments must be in
perfect repair. There are upwards
of a hundred thousand women in
Belgium and Northern France who
will do anything for a little work,
and who were mobilized and train
ed into a marvelously efficient or
ganisation for the making of new
clothing-while there were still raw
materials-or the repairing, ripping
up and remaking of old clothing."
"These women are happiest when
at work. having less time to dwell
upon their misery, and they look
forward with dread to the day when
their material is exhausted, they
must lay down their work and await
their turn to receive the next sup
plies."
We feel sure that this appeal will
meet with ready response from the
people of our district, who have al
ways lead in all great movements
for a worthy coase.

SUfEIME COURT RULES
AGAINST CISTER$S
Notice that a vigorous campaign
would be instituted immediately to
force the tearing down of all cis
terns remaining standing in the city
was given by the Sewerage and Wa
ter Board Monday night. This tol
lowed the Supreme Court decision
of Monday sustaining the order is
sued in 1916 by the board requiring
the removal of all cisterns and water
barrels.
The notice reads:
"This is a very important matter
at this time, as the warm weather is
approaching, and we are going to
do all we can to get cisterns down
in order to reduce the mosquito nui
mance.
"We have already filed more than
2000 affifdavits in the First and Sec
ond City Criminal Courts. We pre
sume that an of these cases will
now go to trial at an early date."
It is regarded as quite certain
there will be a rush to tear down
cisterns this week. The Supreme
Court decision leaves the property
owner who refuses to tear down his
cistern subject to a heavy fine as
well as the loss of the cistern.

the people to the necessity of placing
their orders for coal and wood now,
