Charity where it is Appreciated.

Last winter lady who should have
known better gave some money to
man who came to the door asking for
charity. He looked half frozen and
claimed to be seven-eighths starved.
Having some feeble idea of the princi-
pies advocated by the Associated Char
tiles, the lady asked the applicant if
he would do. any work if it could be
found for him, and upon his replying
in the affirmative, sent him to her hus-
bands factory, but, unfortunately, gave
the man the money in advance.
Later in the day he returned half
intoxicated and demanded more. 1t is
needless to say he never reported for
work
This case is one of hundreds. De-
ception encouraged. A debasing habit
strengthened. Possibly a needy fam
lily deprived of aid. and, what may be
worst of all, naturally charitable
heart made suspicious and hard.
How much better to have made one
generous donation to the Associated
Charities, an organization to whom the
needy can apply or be referred with a
certainty of intelligent, sympathetic
action.
Distribute your charity through the
proper channels. System counts in
this as in everything else. Results
are what you are after. 1t is as legit-
innate to want one hundred cents worth
of results from a contribution for pub
lie relief as it is to want it from a
stock investment. The sentiment is in
the giving, but the rest must be a
business proposition if you want to do
the most good for those aff1icted.
Let those distribute charity who
have made study of the matter.
You do the giving.
They do the work.
Buy tag.

Humor ane Philosophy
By DUNCAN N. SMITH
START SOMETHING.


Don't be dead while you're alive.
Make noise like action.
II you don't accomplish much.
You'll have satisfaction.
Long enough will you be dead.
Truly says the poet.
30 until your time arrives
Rouse yourself and go 1t.
Sitting in an easy chair,
Like a chimney smoking,
Will not get you anywhere.
No; l am not joking.
You can loaf there for q week
And you'll still be sitting
And have not a thing to show
In the way of knitting.
It's the fellow who can be
In about three places
At time who captures fame
And much air displaces.
Though he may not every time
Gather in the candy.
The experience he gets
Some day will be handy.
Don't be dead or half asleep.
Try to get in action
Raise a warwhoop and you may
Be the sole attraction.
Anyhow you'll have some fun,
And. IL not a winner,
You will have an appetite
When you go TO dinner.
