BALTIMORE, Nov. H.-"Joe" Cans, the
lightweight champion, received the deci-
sion over Charley Seiger, of Hoboken,
tonight after thirteen and a half rounds
of fighting before the Eureka A c. The
colored champion was called upon to do
some very hard work to best the Hoboken
boy, who was no match for Cans in spar
ring or ring tactics. Cans blocked many
vicious swings, but found that Seiger was
capable of taking a remarkable amount of
punishment. The champion rushed him in
the fourteenth and had him down and
practically out i'm one minute and twenty
FIVE seconds. His seconds threw up the
sponge to save him.

and enabling helpless people to help themselves. In
winter the offices of the Associated Charities all
swarm with applicants and the agents sometimes
able to do little more than relieve immediate mate
rial needs In summer. however. they take up more
thoroughly the families who have required aims dur
ing previous months. They seek to help them obtain
employment, to improve their home conditions and
in every way to strengthen the family against future
needs. Volunteer friendly visitors now sought,
trained, and assigned each to one or two families.

encouragement advice, resourcetul influence, new
ideals and helping heavily burdeued people to sue

eager.
One Thousand families are visited weekly during
summer months by the agents of the association The
purpose is to induce comparatively resourceless pco-

being enlisted this year, each giving a few hours
weekly to visiting families who would save nothing
unless regularly solicited at their homes.
Summer outing work is also important. Wash

and other cities where thousands of children and
mothers sent to the country every summer month,

people who enjoy vacations themselves Will aid us
this summer to give some gmpses of country, woods

Red as a Cure.

The interest lately excited in England
in what is known as the 'red-light
treatment" of smallpox. wherein the pa
tient is confined in a room into which
only red light is admitted, calls atten-
ticn to the remarkable way in which
modern science seems to revive and re-
form empirical methods of the past.
Even so far back as the reign of Ed
ward " smallpox patients were treat
cd by wrapping them in red covers and
putting red balls in the bed. 1t was
thus that John of Gaddesden treated
a Prince of Wales This method has
also becn noticed as a popular custom
in Roumania. IN recent years. too, a
French surgeon has told Of smallpox pa
tients in Tcnquin being isolated in al
coves almost darkened by red carpet
hanginss. and OF wonderful cures en-
suinS. In Japan the patients were COW
cred by red blankets and the children

Many people believe that charity should vary
inversely with the thermometer; the temperature
rises, charity should decrease, disappearing entirely
the hot summer time. To some who hold these
views it must seem ridiculous that the Associated
Charities keeps nearly all its agents at work during
warm weather with the exception of one months va
cation eaeh, AMI expects them labor almost as hard
as they do when winter brings increased demands for
material relief When one comes to think of it, how
ever, there only four ways in which winter ac-
centuates the need for charity
Cold weather increases greatly the expenses for
fuel it ausments somewhat the cost of clothing and
food while it decreases employment in some lines of
work. On the other hand, washing, waiting on ta-
bic, stable work. and other branches of labor which
depend upon the presence Of resouIceful people in
Washington greatly decreased in summer, when
hundreds of families leave the city. The Associ-
ated Charities often finds lis labor greatly increased
III summer. in eases of accidental argent distress,
by the fact that many kindly people who usually
help the poor have withdrawn their aid from their
old pensioners and removed where they cannot
be solicited iii behalf OF dependents. Not only
are some lines of employment poorer in summer
than III winter; not only the burdens of the As
socated Charities increased through the summer va
cations Of charitable burden bearers, but it is also
true that the very greatest of distress op-
crate in summer as well as in winter Sickness
% per cent of all need for charity, and sick
is more prevalent and severe among Washing
toms poor in hot than in cold weather
Distress due to old age. to widowhood. to acc
dent, to mistakes of judgment, defects of charac
ter, is not limited to wintry seasons. Six hundred
and sixteen widows assisted by the Associated
Charities last year, and time does replace
deceased husbands. Altogether, agents find
many urgent needs for help in the warmest weather.
when assistance is hard to secure, and when the
agents themselves. severely overtaxed during five or
six months of the year deserve especial consideration
and all possible assistance from those who can be-
take themselves to cooler climates.
The most important fact, however, is that
spring and offer the best sometimes the only
opportunities for upbuding needy families foresta-
ing distress which would otherwise occur next win
