BAD HOUSES
talked ABOUT
Are Listened to by the Dele
gates to the National Con-
ference of Charities.

RICHMOND, Va; May s-Address-
es were made by Mrs. Harriet Full
mer, F. l.. Hoffman and Miss clag-
horn at the Charities and Corrections
conference today. mrs. Fulmer said
in part:
Two-thirds of the reform meas
ures which are yearly talked over at
the National Conference of Charities
bear upon bad housing conditions.
Two-thirds of the delinquent child
rem come from homes where bad and
poor ventilation predominates; two
thirds of the physically Ill children;
one-third of the mentally deficient
children; two thirds of the deserving
fathers; come from the same homes. /"
Mrs. Fulmer stated that drunken
ness leads the list in causes for the
necessity of reform work but that
bad housing conditions are close sec
ond. Her plea was for national
concentrated action for better hous-
ing conditions for the poor and small
wage earners.
Housing reform is not local eff
fort; it is a great national problem.
1t touches close to the practical So
luton OF the great White lague. 1t
means moral. decent citizenship.
Some excellent work has been done
by the tenement house committee of
New. York, the City Homes Associa-
ton of Chicago, the committee of
one-hundred on Public Health, These
movements are either local or inter-
ested in all the sources affecting pub
lie health. What we want in order
to awaken national interest and wide
spread reform is one great movement
with housing reform as its only
specific purpose. All this work
should be under municipal control,
but until the public conscience is
awakened we are not going to make
any great strides in reforming con-
ditions."

The Most Common Cause Of Suffering

The Most Common Cause of Suffering
Rheumatism causes more pain and
suffering than any other diseases, for
the reason that it is most common of
all Ills, and it is certainly gratifying
to sufferers to know that Chamber
lain's Pain Balm will afford relief,
and make rest and sleep possible. In
many cases the relief from pain,
which is at first temporary. has be-
come permanent, while in old people
subject to chronic rheumatism, often
brought on by dampness or changes
in the weather, a permanent cure
cannot be expected: the relief from
pain which this liniment affords is
alone worth many times its cost. IS
