I have In mind particularly an editorial in your issue of June 24, entitled "Show Your Colors," which was most helpful. Your co-operation. Is of very great value in tho work we are trying to do. Yours sincerely, IL P. DAVISON, Chairman Hed Cross War ConnoU.

Good food la going to waste on tha California sea coast simply because the people have not learned to use it, according to the announcement made by the State Council of De(ense Even sharks are edible, and are con sidered delicious by some foreign- born American citizens. The council points out the fact that the piers and rocks along the coast are covered with swarms of mussels, which are easy to harvest and are delicious when The -council claims that If properly- baked mussels are more toothsome than clams or oysters. The University of California has pointed out that it la the meat supply that is the nation's food problem, and urges that the people should stop thinking of flsH as something to be eaten, on Friday only. Salting, drying, canning and smoking of fish represent an Industry only In Its Infancy in California. A multitude of types of fiah now not recognized aa good food will be proved by proper methods to be an excellent source of food.

The council further points out that spite of the "clean plate" cam-pain, there Is still good food going into the garbage can from most American homes. To keep a 'few chickens, even if only three or four, that these table scraps may be transmuted into egtra and chicken meat has been recommended by the De- leuao ufuueu. A tiny enclosure is all that la necessary, and W. F. Loyd, instructor In poultry husbandry in the University California, states that two ounces grain and one ounce of dry mash per hen are sufficient dally ration for such a flock, and that the grain feed can be replaced with table scraps.

The advice of the council is not to try to keep too many chickens. The family that starts with from three six will be more lirly to make a success of the undertaking than if it starts with more.

I. Madeira his senior, -according to word from Washington. Warren, who JSa one -of the oldest Inspectors, in time of service in the West, tiled charges several years ago against Postoffice Inspector in Charge Leonard, alleging that Leonard favored Inspector Madeira' and practiced discrimination against him. Inspectors who were sent from the Hast to Investigate the charges reported they were without foundation. Warren was then transferred to the Denver division, with headquarters at Salt Lake City, Later he is said to have applied to be returned to this coaat.

He gtvenr orders to report here as one of th two inspectors assigned to the city of Ban Francisco. Madeira 'bad occupied the other place for the past year, and for this reason Warren would be his Junior. About the time Warren was to assume his duties he delayed doing so, again preferring charges, claiming that Madeira had instigated stories that he waa to have an inferior position. Warren's contention" were again investigated and reported unfounded and his resignation is said have followed. BATTERY BREAKS With the enlistment of forty men yesterday Battery 11 has broken ail national guard recruiting records In this state, according to officers of the First California Field Artillery, of which Battery will be a unit The campaign for recruits will in all probability end tonight, the new organization having within 45 men of its maximum strength of 190 men.

"To recruit, examine and swear in 40 men in -one day is unprecedented in national guard history in this state." said Chief of Police Walter J. Petersen, who win command the new battery. But men who have been drafted do. not Jook with favor upon being placed without choice In any department. The men who are coming Into Battery are men who have chosen tho field artillery as the most desirable branch of the military service and are not taking any chances on being ordered Into any other branch.

Tn all probabiaty we will have our full quota of 190 men by 10 o'clock this evening. This is the last chance men will have to get into this organisation ef Oakland men. In a few days, or hours perhaps, they may bp called before exemption boards and upon official notification to appear they are barred from enlisting in the army or national guard."

Jackson then introduced his resolution, saying: "No member of this eouncQ ran be criticised for not giving thla com-pany plenty of time to fulfill their contract. There is no reason why we should uphold them further in their pursuit of making money at the expense of the health of the city. We have given them everjconalderation." and have overlooked 'their 'Violations of ordinances regulating their vehicles In order not tr embarrass them." is "Why do ail the complaints and all the correspondence on thla subject come dl- rect to the councllT" asked Commissioner W. H. Edwsrds.

"There Is no record that the health department had corresponded with the company. That Is no way to do business." HAS HELPED. Dr. Klrby Smith answered thla In person.
