90 PEOPLE AS
CHARITIES GUESTS
Mothers and Babies Spent
Weeks Out Of
Doors

Comparatively few people know Of
the great good accomplished by the
Associated Charities throughout the
summer months in sending poor
families to the country for weeks
outing
So far this summer 80 people, in
Guiding mothers and little ones, who
are too poor TO 80 even 70 a breathing
spot during the hot spell, have been
sent out oftown by the charities. The
usual time Of the outing is one week,
but in some Instances If has been
fond that so much benefit has been
derived by the comparatively short
stay that the time has been extended
TO two weeks
A feature of these outings is the
beneficial effect that true home sur
/ roundings have upon the children. In
many instances they return TO their
homes not only benefited physically
but also morally. That TIE youngsters
appreciate the liberalitv of the as
ISOLATION is shown by the manner in
which they conduct themselves while
away. In a number OF cases families
of farmers. who have had the poor
children of the city as their guests
have requested the charaties to send
them again the following season, rs
the Youngsters have been great helr
as we'll as a pleasure to them.
Money is needed to make the work q
success and those who contribute may
be assured that Ire money viii be pu;

To be sold yesterday. Probably no
worse time for the sale OF bonds
than the present could have been Sc.
lected in recent years Financial
conditions in New York and elsewhere
are in decidedly unsettled condition.
and tho people who usually are over
ready to take over good municipal
bonds are holding on to their money
just now.
Although several inquiries were re.
cclvcd and 1t was gcncraly expected
that there would be Mt least one. and
probably moro, bidders, several wise
heads In the city had predicted that
no bid would be submitted. These
predictions were based upon the con.
ditions existing, and the fact that the
bonds were to pay only 4h per cent
interest AS n rule Az per cent
bonds are not especially desirable
these days, and, this probably had
something to do with the absence OF
bidders.
When conditions improve. however,
Newport News should have no trou.
Die In disposlng of Az per cent bonds,
Tor few cities OF this size have so
small bonded indebtedness. All the
council can do, is walt and try again.
AS the winter Is nearly here, 1t
would hardly be advisable to Offer
the bonds for sale again in the near
future. Tho street improving cannot

might rs well keep It's bonds until
toward the end of winter. by that
time the present disturbed state of
affairs In the financial world will be

Anyone Can Prepare This Mixture
Which Is Said to Relieve
Catarrh.

Tho coming months will he har
vest for the doctors and patent mcdi.
cine manufacturers unless great care
Is taken to keep the feet dry, also
dres warmly.
This is the advice OF n well.known
authority and should be needed
by all who arc subject 10 rheumatism
kidney and bladder troubles and cspc-
cinlly catarrh. While the latter Is con.
sidered by most sufferers an incura-
hlc disease. there are few men o.
women who will fail to experience
great relief from the following simple
home prescription. and II taken In
time II vii prevent an attack OF ca
tarrh during the entire season.
Here ls the Prescription which any
one can mix: Fluid Extract Dandcllon
onchalf ounce. Compound I<argon one
ounce. Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla
three ounces. Shake we'll in n bottle
and use In tcaspoonfnl doses after
each meal and again ut bedtime.
These are mostly vegetable ingrc-
dicnts and can be obtained from any
good prescription pharmacy at small
cost
Tho Compound Ka-gon in this pre-
scription acts directly upon the climi-
native tissues of the kidneys to make
them filter and strain from the blood
the poisons that produce all forms or
catarrhal affections. Relief is often
felt even after the first few doses
and 1t is seldom that the sufferer
ever experiences return attack
within the year.
This prescription makes n splendid
remedy for all forms of blood idsor-
dcrs and such symptoms MS lame

matlsm pains are entirely dispelled.
AS this valuable. though simple,
icccipc comes from thoroughly re-
liable source, 1t should be needed by
every afflicted reader.
