AND THE
ORGANIZED CHARITIES

At recent meeting of the ladies
and officers connected with this organ
ization it was decided that no sys-
tematic solicitation of food stuffs or
clothing would be made by them this
Christmas. However, we are prepared
to receive all voluntary contributions
along this line, and will welcome
same. We expect to concentrate more
especially on gifts for children, such
as toys, fruits, nuts, candy and all the
more substantial gifts as well. The
depot of receipt and distribution will
be The Herald Office, thanks to the
kindness of the proprietors of that
paper. Last year we made thorough
canvass of the merchants for the
staples, but as this might work hard
ship on this particular class to the
exclusion of others, it was decided to
make the giving as easy and simple
