very deserving charity, which is located in the

that prevention is better than cure, and in her
earnest endeavor to help the homeless girls she
has been very successful.

Among Callfornia's early charities the
Ladies' Protection and Relief Society figures
prominently. Orphan asylums. as heretofore
noted, cared for the parentless youth in a
philanthropic manner, but, strictly speaking,
had nothing 10 do with the dependent women
and children who through unfortunate circum-

matter came to tile knowledge OF number of
charitaby inclined ladies' who at once set to
work to provide a suitable shelter for this class,
and were vrry successful in their labor, having
secured sufficient sum through soliciting to
purchase a building on Franklin street which

Nearly all the cabinet officers are well

1t had also been found to be more eco

succeeding year is from 25 to so cents.
In two thirds Of the counties of the
