FEBRUARY. CHARITY WORK
Associated Charities Report Shows IN
| - usual Demands on Association.

usual Demands OF ASSoCia1ton.
In February ,267 cases were dealt with
by the associated charities, twice the num-
Der of families dealt with during February
of last years. Also for the three winter
months the association dealt with twice as
many families this season as last. The
same proportion of families was referred
by organizations and individuals to the AS
ISOLATED Charities during February this
gear as were, referred in February, 1903,
the references being from a larger number
of societies this year.
| The book plan" shows that the assoc1a-
ton secured an average Of 81 cents for
each person seen in February, 1904, as
against 80 for each person seen in the pre-
ceding February on the other hand the
demand for charity is greater than 1t was
last year. @''
The. fact that during each year there
were more applications in February than
during December and January, indicates
Ia condition that is usually overlooked,
namely that the resources of many people
are exhausted before spring. No season
brings a larger percentage of self-respect-
ing and independent applicants than does
the winter and early spring. When their
savings are consumed, sickness and other
trouble brings them to the association only
| at this season during a period Of years
! In February, after an interval Of several
years, the association resumed sending re-
quests to the churches to report concern
| ing families whom they have aided. Thus
far ten replies have been received. It Is
! the purpose to send similar requests before
the close of March The intention IS not t
reduce the amount Of charity, but to In
crease the usefulness and the privacy o.
church charity. ii

WAR HATS THE RAGE
Some Exquisite Millinery Is Being
Shown on the Second Floor of
Dona1dson's This Week.

Everybody knows that the war in
the far East is leaving it's impression
on the business world. Stocks fuctu-
ate with great battles. Wheat took a
jump when the war was imminent
Flour increased in price correspond
ingly, and, in fact, the whole bust
ness world is Influenced more or less
by the fact that Japan and Russia
are arrayed against each other in
battle.
But how many people realize that
this war is having, a. decided influence
on fashionable wearing apparel-ap-
parel, not for warlike, man, but for
modest, peace-loving woman? Mrs.
Storke, who has charge of the mill
linery department at Donaldson's,, and
who recently returned from Partisan
fashion centers, demonstrated con-
vincingly this morning of the wars
impression on beautiful hats for
| women. = 'f~*>a. - = 10 - ~.
paris likes war, you know" said
| Mrs. Storke, land the world-famous
milliners of Paris have put a war
| like appearance on the dainty hats
of fashion for 1904. OF course, France
| naturally favors Russia from. diplo-
| matte standpoint, but the creators of
| beautiful hats apparently favor Japan
from a millinery standpoint. There is
naturally more to appeal to a mil
/ liner in flowery Japan than in cold
snow-clad Russia. This perhaps &C.
/ counts for Partisan milliners favoring
Japan in the 1904 hats. ....-..
| Flowers, fruits and dainty laces
are all the rage in the way Of trim
mings; in the matter of shapes, tor
! pedoes, yes, almost battleships, are
favorites, and the beautiful hats thai
have resulted are really surprising
I Old-fashtoned Japanese carnations
and roses, apple and peach blossoms
are also used in profusion." ..s

MIR. Lucian Swift,
Manager "The Journal" City
Dear SIR
1t Is pleasure to find that the newspa-
pers Of our city compare favorabIy with
the daily papers of other cities, which |
have had occasion to notice In my travels
thruout the country. There Is, however,
one point In which an Improvement Is
greatly to be desired, that Is the eIlmlna-
tIon Of Objectionable medical advertising.
| have been of the opinion that, not
withstandlng the heavy Immediate loss OF
revenue, any Minneapolis newspaper that
has the courage to make a careful seec-
ton of their advertising, would have a
great advantage with a large number Of
readers who strongly object to this feature,
and 1t is a great pleasure to me to notice
that The Minneapolis Journal has taken
this step. AS a newspaper which is SO
popular in the homes of Minneapolis, feel
certain that when the change Is generally
understood by your readers, the loss which
you temporarily sustain will be more than
made up in the greater appreciation Of
your excellent paper. ,.. g.
! therefore heartily congratulate you on
your new policy and trust that both your
circulation and advertising department re.
ports will soon show the appreciation OF
the Minneapolis public.
Very truly,
