THE REPORTS FOR THE YEAR
Chief Object Sought Is to Remove Bad

The annual report of the Associated
Charities and the Citizens Relief Asso-
citation has been made public and covers
the work done by both societies for the
past twelve months. In reviewing this
work many cases of distressing phase
are brought to public notice. and the
service of officers and assistants is re-
corded
The two organizations work jointly
and have. in the past year. relieved suf-
tering and want in poor families to a
remarkable degree. Many of these cases
have required a great amount of time
and attention on the part Of the So
ciety's assistants. and each is given
strict and sincere consideration. The
report furnishes a number OF short ac-
counts Of individual cases. and demon
strates just how infinitely each is in

Have Public Ear.

BY enlisting the interest of prominent
members Of Congress and bringing the
subject Of the care of the cIty's poor
before the public by illustrated lectures
these charitable Organizations have
succeeded in gaining the public ear and
hope to better conditions at the Ma
uonal Capital. Three hundred and
twenty-eigbt men and women now serve
as friendly visitors, savings collectors.
division conference members. and in
other lines Of direct personal contact
with distressed families.
Three definite means of Improvement
OF the local charity system have been
suggested These are that the alleys
be converted into minor streets; that a
law be enacted for the compulsory re-
pair or condemnation Of dwellings unfit
for habitation, and that well equipped
public Fairgrounds be established.
In the alleys are gathered poor fani-
lies, huddled together in one or two
rooms without sufficient clothes or food
TO maintain life. Sickness and forced
idleness make the conditions in these
homes deplorable, and it has been in an
effort to find employment for members
of these families and so reduce their
srfferings in part that the steady cam
Daign of the Associated Charities and
Citizens Relief Association has been
continued.

Agents and Visitors.

That the work may be carried on sys-
tematically specially trained persons
mFst be engaged In the last twelve
months 1s,SS4 visits were made by seven
division agents. These agents are per-
sons capable of making the poor under
stand that helping hand is extended,
and of finding out in the simplest man
ner what is the right thing to be done
in each case. The record now shows
10,545 of these confidential life stories.
Six lines OF preventive and construc-
tive work have been developed. These
are the collection of small savings, the
development of social settlements, the
improvement OF housing conditions,
summer outings and street car rides, pre-
vention of consumption. and the estab-
ishment of public Fairgrounds.

ports balance of $3.591.2S with which

TRUE PREVENTIVE OF HAY FEVER
Hyomei Destroys Germs of the Disease
and Keeps People Well.

ana Keeps People well.
There can be little or no doubt as to
hay fe"er being a germ disease. 1t is. too.
one disease where prevention is much
easier than cure.
All who are subject to this disagreeable
trouble. should use Hyomei daily for at
least two or three weeks before the time
of their annual attack. In this way the
annoying paroxysms of sneezing. running
at the nose and watery and smarting eyes
can he avoided
This remarkable discovery makes il
possible for anyone to breathe air at
home which is almost identical with that
Of the Adirondacks or White Mountains
or other resorts where hay fever suffer-
ers go TO escape their trouble
If, however. Hyomei has not been
used until the disease has begun it is
necessary to use it more frequently. at
least half dozen times daily, and Hyo-
mel Balm should be rubbed into the nos
trils both morning and night. This treat
ment will relieve at once and will effect
cure in nearly every case.
The leading druggists have a complete
line of the Hyomei goods and will sell
an outfit of inhaler Hyomei and medi-
cine dropper for S1.OO and will also agree
TO refund the money if the treatment does
not give satisfaction.
Do not try TO cure hay fever by dosing
the stomach. Breathe Hyomei and in
that way the medication will reach the
minutest air cells in the nose, throat and
lungs. soothe and heal the irritated mu-
cous membrane, and prevent and cure all
hay fever troubles.

FOR OLD SOLDIERS
County and City Erect a So,
900 Monument
TO THEIR MEMORY
A. Hyde to Set Aside 500 Lots
in Maple Grove
MEMORY

! BY an act of the legislature last win
ter the city Of Wichita and Sedgwick
county were authorized to appropriate
s., 90 to the G. A. r. posts of this city
TO be used in the erection of a monu-
ment in Maple Grove cemetery in men,
DRY of the soldier dead and having first
found that the city was willing to con
tribute its share of the amount COM
mittee from the G. a. r. went before the
board of county commissioners yesterday
TO learn what the county would do in
the matter.
A A Hyde, one of the directors of the
Maple Grove cemetery. has announced
to the members OF the G. a. +. that ne
will set aside 500 lots for that organi-
zation for the burial of old soldiers, on
the condition that monument be erected
on the grounds to their memory costing
not less than 5000. The G. A. r. is
badly in need of such a burial place. as
the grounds that have been used are all
occupied and the funds on hand are not
sufficient to buy a location. An old sol
der in this county is never buried in
the potters field and as a large number
of iAem have to be buried by some or
ganiZation it is very appropriate that
there should be some general burial
grounds where the old veterans could be
buried side by side. In the past they
have been inferred wherever a plot could
be found, but even these have been taken
up, and the G. A. r. realized that il
must make some effort to secure grounds.
In order to secure those offered by Mr..
Hyde, it is necessary to erect a monu-
ment costing at least 50 600 which the or
ganization alone is not able TO do. Rep
resentatiye John Adams secured the pas
sage of bill at the last session of the
legislature which gives the city and coun-
ty authority each TO make an appropria-
ton of $500 toward the erection Of the
monument and the city officers have
stated that they are willing to appropri-
ate Sl25 each month until their half of
the amount is paid. The county has the
authority to make the appropriation. but
not the funds. as the general fund is at
its lowest ebb at this time of the year
The commissioners took the matter un-
der advisement yesterday and will cori-
fer with the county attorney in an at
tempt to raise the money They realize
that ii is for a worthy cause and are
willing to make the appropriation.
