Associated Charities

AT meeting of the Board of Managers of
the Associated Charities, yesterday afternoon,
1t was voted to amend the bylaws with respect
to the meetings of the Board of Visitors,
changing the hour from = o'clock to o'clock
p M, on the third Wednesday of each month.
1t was thought best to call for volunteer Wis
itors, and committee was appointed consist
ing of Mr.. Baxter, Mr.. Rolfe and Miss Evans
to take the matter in charge
The committee having the work-room in
charge reported that they had many applica-
cations from needy women for work and that
they had furnished as m any as they were able
to with work. but for lack of materials were
obliged. to turn away many who applied
Those who apply for work are worthy women,
most OF whom have families dependent upon
them, and who are greatly benefited by the
sewing given them. What the committee
most want are materials-such as cotton CLOTH
flannel, calico and also groceries, which are
given instead Of money in payment for the
the work done. Money is not given in any
case, but groceries and provisions in payment,
so that it will be seen that those who work
really work for food. Not cent is injudicious-
ly expended. The committee solicit contribu-
tions-liberdl contfibutions-from individuals
and firms, OF either groceries, materials for the
work-room or money to purchase the same, as
a great amount Of good can be accomplished
if sufficient means can be obtained. Contri-
buttons can be sent to the secretary, Miss
Evans, or to the work-room in the City Build
ing, next door to the Public Library, on Fri
day forenoons from 10 to II. There are some
articles unsold which the public can purchase
at reasonable rates at the room, such as sheets,
pillow cases, &C. People wanting common
articles made will aid the cause by leaving
their orders at the office of the society ON Myr-
tie street with Miss Evans, the secretary, from

DR.. Weeks I,ectllra

DR.. Weeks delivered a very interesting lee
ture last night in the Y M. C. A. course on
the Calculation of the Blood" The Doctor
said the circulation of the blood is common to
all animals, except those of the lowest organ
ization In some animals and vegetables,
such as infusoria, polypes algae and the like,
neither blood nor circulation is required, since
all parts of the body, having a similar structure,
absorb nourishment from the surrounding
media. The circulating fluid is means of
TRANSPORTATION, by which substances produced
in particular organs are carried throughout
the body, or by which substances produced
generally in the tissues are conveyed to parti-
cular organs in order to be eliminated and ex-
PEELED.
The circulatory apparatus consists of four
different parts: 1st the heart; I'd, the arteries;
Sd, the capillaries; 4th, the veins. VIM. Har-
vey discovered the circulation of the blood in
1919. The arteries and veins which he dis
sected are now in the Royal College of Physi-
clans, London
The Doctor then elaborated upon each of
the heads mentioned above making a very in
tereSting and valuable lecture

Union Mutual Insurance COMPANY

The act signed by Governor Plaisted on
Saturday last requiring the headquarters of
the Union Mutual Insurance Company to be To-
Gated in Maine, and the directors resident in
this State, will bring the principal offices of
this corporation to Portland, where they will
occupy Fluent Block which is owned by the
company. This movement locates an institu-
ton in this city having six million capital
with large force of employees, some thirty
three in number, with their families, adding
them to our population. The expenditures of
such company in a city are of great i'm
portance and still more is the balance of one
hundred Thousand dollars daily deposited by
them in our banks chat can be used for loans
The reason for this move on the part of the
company, as we understand their claim, is
that in city like Portland the expenses are
necessarily very much less than in large
metropolis like Boston, and the company can
better rent its valuable property there, while
its heavy printing bills can be made less here
Portland will gladly welcome any individual
or corporation that tends to increase her pros
perity. President De lit of the company
was in the city yesterday.
