periments in October said Doctor Wiley
the preference will be given to the young
men who have previously taken the tests"

APPEAL FOR HELPLESS.
Not only IS 1t almost impossible to prop
erly care for the sick. wounded, insane and
paupers in the buildings that are now avail

places is greatly increased by the conditions
that surround them. II there were no other

conditions that exist. II thoroughly under

Il am not an advocate of costly munici-
pal buildings for the caring Of the INDECENT
but l am strongly in favor Of bringing
about conditions that will enable the poor
and helpless to be properly and humaneiy
cared for. and this cannot be done until
the citizens give their sanction and assist
ance, by placing the means OF accomplish
ing this object in the hands Of those to
whom they have intrusted the task OF con-
Quoting municipal affairs.
These unfortunate beings are our own
people. and it Is a moral obligation resting
on every person in the city of st. Louis to
see that they are properly cared for.
