In We ancient times it was custom
for all who believed in the 'Hebrew
Creed" to present as a gift one-tenth OF
their years earnings toward a fund
Y that was distributed in such manner
1 as to alleviate the snfferings OF those
who were less fortunate in the battle OF
[ life.
Time has changed some of the past
customs and acute selishness has sup
I planted some of the more benevolent
early teachings; yet today you will find
R in almost every community of any inn
portance an Organization known as the
1King's Daughters, who devote them
selves to this sort Of work. Many OF
the greatest social leaders in the land
take an active interest in this partic,l-
I lar class of work, and oft times deny
themselves many Of the pleasures OF
social life on account Of their heart be-
ing in the right place.
With reverence we should regard
such noble creatures whose hearts and
hands are utilized for the advancement
Of the less fortunate in LIES struggle.
If one stops to reason and study what
sacrifices are made by this noble band
Of women we would be compelled to be-
come inspired. Many OF them leave
happy, comfortable, and palatial homes
to visit some unfortunate human being
who may reside in some miserable how

traced directly to Commissioner G eneral Peck,
but there has been mismanagement.g lariug
neglect of duty, indifference to interests OF
country and to United States exhibitors, favor

nearly half a million of people were in the ex-
