viii Give Instructions on the
Sciene of Saesmanship at
Evening institute

The science of salesmanship has be-
come so well recognized business
principle and has been so successful
in the Young Mems Christian associa-
tion evening institute during the last
few years that it has been decided TO
rive new course of twenty lectures
on the subject
In addition to the regular weekly
lectures given by the instructor of the
course. there will be additional talks
from time to time by well known men
on subjects in which they are recog-
nized experts. Walter Gould Lincoln,
.he director, has been highly praised
by all his former pupils because of the
financial and business benefits which
they received from his instruction, be-
cause they have been able to save
themselves many harsh experiences by
using the methods taught, rather than
trusting to their own misunderstand-
ing of business laws.
All interested men are invited to at
tend the first regular lecture in the
course which will be given tonight at
the Young Mems Christian Associa-
tion rooms at 500 O'clock.

WANT HORSE AND
PLOW FOR WORK
CHARITIES MAY ASK
FOR LOTS
To Provide Work the Way 1t Is Done
in New York-Defends Widows
and Reunites Famllies-For-
mer Secretary Talks

"Wanted-A horse and a plow to be
used by the Associated Charities to fur
nish work for some of the unemployed
in Los Angeles
This is the latest appeal made from
the charity organization. which seeks
to make a new plan for giving employ
ment to men anxious for work-not for
money
I'VE might follow the New York
PLAN" said one of the charity officers
yesterday Persuade one of the real
estate men to let us have the use of
some vacant lots. then turn the men
loose in there with the horse and pillow,
and let them raise potatoes and other
truck goods. l know there must be
plenty of people who have old plows
which are not being worked this sea-
son; while we would take the horse for
his keep-and take good care of him at
that. Thus a large number of men
might be given employment"
Another thing the Associated Chari-
ties is going to make an appeal for In
the near future is the cause of widows.
I'VE find men who are really indus
trious, but who think that when they
have worked from &. m. until p. m.
they have done a days work. But in
shining contrast to them are the
widows who have little Children to sup
then come home and attend to their
own home duties in the evening, work
ing far into the night.
Help Support Children
1--WE always ask a woman or a man
who tells us that their children are in
an institution to. first bring the chill
dren back home, then we will help them
support the little ones. We always
strive to reunite families. That is the
saving of a man or woman-who with
out their children grow desperate. And
when we place the children in the care
of their widowed mother she will, with
our aid, always support them and keep
up the little home. We find no fault
with the institutions. They help us
much. But, where possible, we always
get the family together"
Il. J. Stuart, formerly secretary of the
Associated Charities for many years
and one of it's organizers in Los Ange-
les, was in the city yesterday, and
spoke of the excellent service which the
records of 1900 individual cases of
charity are to the society and the pub
lie as well.
TT prevents fraud, and thus saves
| those who are really honestly trying to
get work and are in need, driving the
impostors out of business, and armlng
the deserving ones in their tight Tor
living" said Mr.. Stuart.
"Only recently 1 discovered an ap-
parentiy needy case out at Alhambra.
where 1 now live. Investigating it l
found the little children were being
trained by their mother to collect
money, posing as those in need of food,
whereas they would take only coin and
NOT eatables at all. The society can
nut a stop to things of that sort
through the invaluable records which
are kept in it's offices of every case that
comes to its attention"

Facts About CurrantS.

Greece has an absolute natural mo-
nopoly of currant production, which
averages about 100000 tons a year.
The seedless grapes, which when dried
re known IS currants, grow nowhere
7lse in the world.
1t takes about four pounds of fresh
grapes to make pound of dried cur
re.nts. No artificial processes are used
in curing. The best qualities are dried
u the shade, all others in the sun.
The United States consumes 35000,-
% pounds of dried currants year,
SIS than half a pound q head. Great
G-.tains consumption is three pounds
} : capita and Hollands six pounds.
Dietists who have made g study Of
"a food value OF currants say that 81
per cent of their weight is soluble in
"; ter and that currants contain Is
Yer cent OF nutritive value, or more
han twice as much nourisnment as
- beef.
To safeguard the industry upon
which the welfare of the whole nation
depends. owing to the fact that cur
rants form 65 per cent of Greece's to-
tai production, heavy penalties are i'm
posed upon growers VINO pick their
crop before it is ripe or pick it before
IS thoroughly dried and cleaned.

FOGd Value Of Dried Fruit.

Sir Francis Henry Laking, King Ed
wards famous physician, has an ar
t.cle in the Scientific American on"The
Food Value of Dried Fruits" in which
he says:
From recent analysis of samples of
dried currants the fact has been veri-
fed that the fruit contains no less than
- per cent. of sugar ia it's most Valu
able form. This great saccharic pro-
portion is already in the shape of
grape sugar, and thus is potential to
take up it's work of producing and
c-intaining energy and vitality. 1t is
what is known as fnvert sugar.

assists digestion, it allays nervous ex-
Element and provides nourlshment IN
Sc Of nervous exhaustion.
In the dietary Of the peasant clafs-
ses of Greece, a people remarkable for
their hardihood and health, the cur
rant appears at almost every meal,
While in Germany and Holland cur
rant bread is common article OF food.
indeed, among the many shapes IN
which the currant may be brought to
the table a bread made of, say, thirty
parts of currants to seventy parts OF
dough is one of the best.
For children and those who must
CT necessity adopt diet currants Will
prove digestive aid and act as
gentle and natural laxative. There
