KEEP THE POT BOILIN,
SalvationArmy Takes Unique Nhod
 to COllpct for Christmas nind

SalvntionArmy Takes a Unique Nhod
 to Collect for Christmas Din1
 A very forcible illustration dthe old saying that watched pot Ner bolls over can now be seen in der ent places about the city. The Sa- ton Army is preparing to give biz Christmas dinner to q lot of hliry people and in order to raise fundto defray the cost of the feast the olh. lZation has placed pots at conspicAs places about town with Watcher4o keep q close look out for them, so tt nobody can make away with the dd. tions dropped into them through wire netting. A placard headed "KS the Pot Boiling" tells why the arA is engaged in this kind of work. ItS pretty cold job for the watchers, aE after dropping few cents into one G the coffers to-day some joker advisa the man in charge 10 turn his back tl the pot and look the other way if Ind wanted it to boil. The Salvationist was something of humorist himself and laughed heartily at the joke, but he kept his eye on the pot just the same. Up to press hour it had shown no signs of simmering, although it was almost half full of money. The following from the War Cry shows the work that is being done by tho army:
 The total number of social institu- lions in the United States now is POI. This includes hotels, workshops and factories, rescue homes, slum posts, in- l dHstrial honies, etc. The number of officers and employees giving their whole time to this work in this coun- try is S75. Tn the last eight months the shelters and restaurants have earned toward their expenses S123. 146.92, and the workshops and factories $71,j00.64. | Truly the poor are helping to help 1 themselves. ~ '& ] The inquiry department. that has 1 been so useful in finding lost friends. in
 eight months. ending August i. has
 dealt with 5S7 csses. and have found
 112. This is certainly wonderful when
 we remember where we must seek
 them, the unwillinEness that some of 1 them have to being found because of their shame, and how many death may l hsye claimed
 l The slum officers ir the last year l have spent in visitation 12.035 hours
 and have assisted and checrcd 20,74S I pDbT I)eIsCilS, The rescue homes also have made
 very decided advances. Tho latest re I turns show that % per cent of those I who go through them havc proved tc 4 be good cases and the percentage is
 on the increase. More people arc call { ing for help from those rescued thar can possibly be supplied.
 i The national labor bureau has. ir
 four years supplied 6a32 persons witl q positions. aS7 of which have been tc I November in 1902 Most of these have found positions in Christian families
 and many have found salvation wher
 in great need. and on the verge of sui 1 eide.
