Contributors to the Bread Fund may
themselves control exactly To whom their
fund will be dispensed by taking tickets
for distribution.
II you have any needy neighbors con-
tribute to the Bread Fund and your money
will go twice as far as IL would II you gave
il direct.
The Bread Fund tickets are not designed
to surround the distribution with red
tape, but to assist in securing the fairest
and wisest distribution and to give the
weak an equal opportunity with the
strong, the individual a chance in the
crowd who come for bread.
conspicuous characteristic of the
callers for bread Is the sentiment that
this relief fund Is available to many per-
sons who hesitated to call for aid from
any other source. The fund is not
charity as the many who are at this time
in straitened circumstances regard the
word charity. The element of popularity
in the fund, the possibility to accomplish
much good with an expenditure SO
small as to be the least possible
sacrifice, and the peculiar position
occupied by a newspaper as a dispenser of
such funds offer the most hesitating and
diffident among the needy the most favor
able opportunity of accepting aid with
out embarrassment. No one need feel
that abject poverty. is implied by call
on The NEWS Bread FUND any more than
they need feel that their appeal means
past improvidence. III there Is five
cents TO spare buy milk with it, and
TrTr x.rtn -
IL there Is little money for meat,
for warmth giving coffee or tea, for sugar
or other groceries buy them--and The
NEWS will furnish the bread to 60 with
it free of charge. The Bread Fund may
save life, the bread may be the only food
available; but, also, it will contribute to
the humble table necessary accessory
leaving more money available to the fam
lily for other necessary purchases.
An Interesting Letter.
Among the letters received enclosing
dimes and dollars, postage stamps and
money orders for the Bread Fund, here Is
one that is notable both from the liber-
ality of the contribution and the motives
which inspired the giver. tfHts

To the Editor OF THE NEWS;
There is no dlsputing that Christianity Is the
most important theme the world give Its atten-

woman, the starving child, the starving babe and
the starving unborn babe, the dministration Of
bread takes precedent OF all other action.
In the name Of jesus Christ and in accordance
with the highest conception OF His comma nd ments
enclose $40 for the purchase OF bread for the
starving. FRIEND.
