ASSOCIATED CHARITIES.
The superintendenp's Report for March
Given in Full.

The superintendent Report for March
Given in Full.
The central board of Associated Chart
ties met last night and transacted
routine business. The report of the
superintendent is as follows:
Number of applications made since
last report, 81; number of applicants,
6S. II new ones, including 10 noR-resi-
dents, 2 of whom refused the labor test.
Help was granted 10 times
There has been distributed IL prescrip-
tions, 13 grocery orders and 54 coal
orders. Three lunches were fur
nished from Sick Diet Kitchen,
4 meals and lodgings from Friendly Inn,
Q free passes; 2 men assisted in funeral
expenses. Number of visits made by
superintendent, IL; letters written, 81;
of the resident applicants II need work
rather than relief; 2 required no relief;
/ was undessrving; aided by churches;
other sources-3 by private persons; 4
received employment through the
society.
Many who have been more or less de-
pendent upon outside help have come to
realize how much more respectable and
Independent it is TO ask a little assistance
in tiding over a rough place, and then
with this aid to make still stronger efforts
TO help themselves, with the result,
usually Of surprise. at their own sucsess
The development Of the work into
broader scope has given employment to q
number who have thus been enabled to
| see through the whole winter without
other aid.
The demands upon the society have
been less than during the corresponding
period last year and it may be interest
ing to compare statistics. Total number
/ of applicants for four months ending
/ March 81 last year, 7s; this year, 5o5
non-residents last year, 9S; this year, AZ.
! Coal orders last year, 360; this year, 225
grocery orders last year. .157; this year
| 81; medical prescriptions, last year, IL
this year, 61, owing to La Grippe anc
some chronic cases now in charge OF this
society.
Notwithstanding this lesser amount o.
ordinary giving, the resources of th'
treasury-much less than usual-and o.
the interest and helpfulness of the mem
bers have been severely taxed by th'
ever growing needs of those who unfor
tHnately, from one cause or another, re
quire the helping hand. Keeping pac
with modern thought, the study to de
velop and sustain spirit of independ
ence is now much more complicated thai
the old-fashioned idea Of relieving wan
by spasmodlc gifts of money and article
past their usefulness to the giver.
The Towel Supply Company has en-
deavored to SUPPLY work on good mar
ket basis, and the Browntown Librar
with its 800 volumes fills anothe
demand. Donations for this are great
! needed The sick diet kitchen supple
its delicate and well cooked food to Tia
; sick and invalid ones, and will gladl
co operate with all physicians in carin
) for the poor. Jellies and canned fruit
! are most acceptable gifts to this work.
