One important function of the Board of
Charities is the consideration of matters
referred to & by the District Commission
ers. The latter, before taking action upon
anything relating TO charity, seek a re-
port from the Board of Charities In
most Instances the recommendations of
the latter become the official decision Of
the Commissioners.
one Of the first duties undertaken by
the Board of Charities was to clear the
lists of nonresident INDECENT persons sup
ported in the Government Hospital for
The Insane at the expense of the District.
The efforts Of Secretary Wilson along this
line have resulted in returning to their
homes or removing to the pay list fifteen
persons, heretofore a charge upon the
District revenues.
The Board of Charities is at present at
work on rules governing the admissions
to various charitable institutions, and viii
make recommendations on this subject be-
fore june 30. On July ! the Board Will
take immediate charge of the physicians
to the poor, and the Issuing Of permits for
various hospitals and other charta BILE in
stitutiOus, in so far as these admissions
are under the control OF the District au-
thOriJies. 1t hopes in this way to secure
the better coordination of the various
charities and especially the medical chari-
ties, comprising the hospitals, dispens-
aries and physicians to the poor.

in part by appropriations of Congress,
made for the care or treatment Of resi-
dents of the District of Columbia: and
no payment shall be made to any such
charitable, eleemosynary, correctional, or
reformat0ry institution for any resident
Of the District of Columbia who is not
received and maintained therein pursuant
TO the rules established by such Board
Of Charities, except in the case Of per
sons committed by the courts, or aban-
doned infants needing immediate care
Immediately after its organization the
Board, in carrying out the spirit of the
organic act, formulated two broad propo-
sitions which have guided its delibera-
tions and given direction to its work. The
first Of these was:
The Board is of the opinion that a
sound public policy demands that com
pIete public control should, in every case,
reach as far as the public money; and it
is convinced that until this policy be
made To apply to every part Of the char
table system Of the District. all attempts
at a reorganization of the system must
fall short Of attaining the ends for which
this Board was created.
The second proposition was:
THE Board believes that careful in
vestigation should be made Of the cir
curnstances Of those seeking the benefits
Of public charitable IL stitutions. 1t is
convinced that great abuses have eX-
listed in the past because Of the lack of
such Investigation, and as a result not
only has the taxpayers money been
wasted. but the benehciarles of public
institutions ia re been pauperized. The
Board therefore purposes to plan for the
proper investigation Of all those seeking
the benefits Of public charity, and the
recommendation made in the estimates
this year are made with this object in
view"
With these guiding principles before
them the Board Of Charities entered upon
their work. 4 disposition was manifest
to move slowly with reference to the
Inauguration Of changes In its table Of
estimates submitted to the last Congress
the Board included items purposely which
Were Acknowledged to BE- contrary TO their
Vows but which, If withheld without

THE BOARD OF CHARITIES
An Effort to Reduce Public Relief
TO a Practical System.
The Reasons Prompting Congress to
Pass the Organic Act-OHiciu1 Con-
troll Over the Annual Appropria-
tions - Economy in Expenditure.

The Board OF Charities OF the District
of Columbia has been in existence not
quite a year, its first meeting being on
July z. 1900 Since its organization, how
ever, marked progress has been made to-
ward the realization Of the objects for
which it was created.
It viii be recalled that the act Of Con-
gress establishing the Board of Charities
was approved June 6. 1850. Pursuant to
this act the Board was appointed by the
President and consisted Of 5. W. Wood
ward. John Joy Edison, Charles P. Nell,
Simon Wolf. and George W. Cook. In
the organization Of the Board. Mr.. Wood
ward was chosen President and Mr.. Neill
Vice President. The Board selected George
5. Wilson as their Secretary.
Prior TO the establishment Of this
Board, the charities of the District were
without any-Eingle directing agency. Com
mittees OF Congress made Investigations
and advised against continuing the condi-
tions which then existed. IN the bestow-
al of public funds on many Institutions
there were confusion, duplicate effort, and
a direct inducenent to the multiplication
Of charitable enterprises. The results were
Increasingly unsatisfactory.
IN report submitted TO Congress by a
special joint committee in 1897 the chaTlt-
able effort Of the District was said to be
chaotic" and the committee stated that
the only relief for the situation was to
b. found in the appointment Of a Board Of
Charities.
The organic act establishing the Board
Of Charities. among other things, defines
its duties as follows:
1.-The said Board of Charities shall visit.
Inspect, and maintain a general super
vision over all institutions, societies, or
associations Of a charitable, eleemosy-

IOWA CHEESE.
Results Of Tests Made at State Experi-

Ames May 21.-Iowa enjoys the
proud distinction of the foremost
dairy state in the Union. The butter
product of the creameries In 1900
amounted to nearly SO 900 900 pounds
and it was worth over SIT 200, 900 on
the market. The cheese product of
the state, however, amounted to
only a little over 1900, 900 pounds
and Iowa annually imports cheese
for home consumption. 1t is some
times claimed that Iowa is not adapt.
ed to cheese making. These con-
ditions have led to careful investi-

ing at the Iowa Experiment Station
at Ames and II has been clearly de-
monstrated that practically as good
cheese can be made in Iowa as in the
most famous factories of Canada, the

favorable reputation in foreign mar

SOME FRAUDS.
Tricks and Tricksters TO be Guarded
Against by IOwans.

One of the latest postofice frauds
now being investigated by the post
Office authorities at Washington is
that of doctor who advertised to
cure deafness for SIS so without fail
To those who sent this required
amount the doctor forwarded 1000
pills, with directions to take one each
day, and on no account to miss day,
or the charm would be broken, and it
would be necessary to start all over
again. AS the truth of this claim can
not be put to the test until the end of
about five and half years, the au-
thorities are puzzled what course to
take.
An exchange gives the following no
tice of contemplate swindle which
it says is about to be worked in Iowa,
Illinois and Missouri. The paper says:
A smooth individual who claimed to
have an office in Waterloo, is making
his living by buncoing the bereaved
relatives of recently deceased per-
sons. His modus operandi is some
thing like this: He watches the ex
changes, and when he sees the an
nouncement of any grown PERSONS
death he Immediately sends book to
the dead person by express with a
G, Q. d. for $3.50 to the nearest rela-
tive of the deceased and he or she
usually calls at the express Office and
pays the 81 so, thinking probably it lis
something the deceased has already
ordered. On opening the package it
is found to contain little book worth
10 or Is cents.
