 In the rear of the general office is the store room of the society, contain ing it's provisions and clothing. After satisfactory investigation is made little time is lost in providing for the needy. If a person is i'll the society calls upon one of the corps of physicians who gen erously aid in the work. The society also arranges. with the. proprietors of phar- macies, who have llberaly responded in providing drugs for the poor. They have agreed to fill all prescriptions sent them by the superintendent of the society The proprietors of each drug store fill pre- scriptions one month each. and in this way the work is evenly distributed
 The society has always been able to make generous arrangements with the heads of Birmingham firms, who assist in carrying on the work. They not only give generously. but where the society trades with these firms it is given the ad- vantage of the lowest price values.
 Besides the assistance given the society in it's business arrangements 1t also re- ceives generous aid from individuals, who every year send their personal checks to assist the work.
 Contributions come from various sources. Some of the schools send dona- tions. The list of contributors which Is published in the reports of the society shows that aid comes from people in many walks of life.
 But the real work of the society falls upon the women who year after year steer this frail bark over rough sea. With the funds in the treasury getting low, and the demands increasing the members are often in a quandary as to the next step to be taken in order for the work to go on with a limited in come

If it should be crippled for want of appropriations or by individuals be- ginning economy by cutting down their charities, there would be far more suf- fering among the poor of this city than at any time in its history. A member Of the society said yesterday that while the society had done great deal this win ter in providing for the destitute, and in relieving the appalling situation occa- stoned by men out of employment and with sick families that tuere. had been @ great deal of unrelieved suffering. The society has had more applicants than 1t could handle it's demands are growing greater every day, and as it Is such an important part of the city, as its recog- nzed medium of philanthropy, that withdrawal of the city's support would directly reflect upon Birmingham in a way that it could i'll afford.

 The work of establishing the travellers aid is done jointly by the Womans Christian Temperance union and the Young Women's Christian association, these two societies uniting in this great work.
 The monthly reports are made to both societies, who jointly share in the cur rent expenses.

suggestion was made the society could not undertake the work. When later the Young Womans Christian association was discussing the advisability of establishing a travellers aid, the proposed plans met with ready assistance and approval from the union, which had long been anxious to, establish the travellers aid in this city.
 The work is along the helpful lines of this society, which is the largest organl- zation of women in the world. Its insti- tutions for the homeless. it's care for children, it's work in prisons and jails, it's crusades for temperance, for purity in the home, all of It's vast departments of work easily make it one of the fore most if not the foremost organization of women in the world.
