ments Are Excellent in
Every Respect

The Associated Charities held an i'm
portant meeting yesterday afternoon. It
was the regular monthly meeting and,
aside from the regular business ham
died, the ladies disposed of the very
important matter of approving plans
Tor the new home soon to be erected.
The plans as accepted contemplate a,
line structure which will accommodate
81 inmates, capacity which it is be-
lieved will be adequate to the needs of
the association for some years to come.
The plans for the building, which is
to be located at the corner of Excelsior
avenue and Galena street, on a lot
fronting 100 feet on the avenue and 15O
feet on Galena, are for a main building
20 by 80, with a hospital annex in the
rear. 1t is to be built of brick and
stone and is to be a basement, two
stories and dormer roof, or virtually
three stories. The hospital in the rear
of the main building is to be one story
and. while virtually entirely separate
from the main building, the two will be
connected by passageway enclosed by
glazed glass, which Is styled a sun par
Tor.
The basement of the main building
VIII contain the laundry, commodious
dry room, the heating plant, a boys
work room and service rooms.
The first floor will contain what will
be known as the soup room, where
soup Will be served daily to all who de-
sire to come, as has been done for some
months past at the present home. Be
sides this department there will be on
the first floor the dining room, day nur-
hn off
ton room, library and club room.
The second and third floors will af-
ford the dormitory accommodations.
The second floor will have seven single
rooms and four large double rooms, the
floor being calculated to accommodate
30 inmates. The third floor will have
five single rooms and two double rooms,
which are expected to accommodate 20
or ~ inmates. Both floors will have all
the necessary closets, linen rooms, bath
rooms and toilets, and the top floor will
nave large lumber room. The whole
building Will be handsomely furnished
throughout and will be supplied with
every possible modern convenience The
appointments as contemplated by the
plans were regarded by the ladies as
most excellent in every particular for
the purpose of such an institution and
they We're approved with much enthusi-
asm. The ladies We're so much pleased
with the plans that moi a change was
suggested, and it was decided to call at
once for specifications, which are ex-
pected to be ready in time to advertise
for bids for construction before the
week Is out, or in the early part of next
week at the outside. The ladies pro-
pose to start work in another week in
order to have the home ready for occu-
pancy early in the fall. The estimate
as to the cost of the building is that the
$50 900 donated by w. A. Clark will fully
cover the cost
Aside from approving the plans for
the home the ladies talked over numer-
GUS matters of especial interest.
Among them was the matter of in
shutting a system of friendly visits,
which was adopted, and by which it is
meant that besides the visits the men,
bers make in distributing relief to the
poor they will make regular visits to
those they assist to advise and encour-
age them. 1t was also decided to start
the flower mission again. which was in
stttuted last year, and distribute flowers
among the poor sick. An important
