Performing Good Work.
The Associated Charities associa-
ton is interested in all charitable
work conducted in the city, and be-
sides having given literally to the
poor of the city during the past year,
has established an Association home
on Seventeenth street. The associa-
ton has fitted this home with the
aid of the other organizations in the
city. a place where mothers may
leave their children, under proper
care while they are at work during
the day. Rooms have been provided
to be used as a shelter for homeless
girls and there these girls may spend
an evening in quiet recreation. Beds
have been provided to be used by
these girls through the night. The
work of the association is very COM
mendable. The funds of the treas
ury of the association have been
greatly depleted by this work and the
ladies are depending somewhat on
the annual tag day to aid them in the
work for the next year.
What Daughters Have Done.
1t is we'll known fact that the
Helpers circle of the Kings Daugh-
tiers is doing a splendid work in the
city, but just what they are doing has
been kept quiet, as is most charitable
work which is done in the right spir-
it. However, the members of the
circle think that it is proper and fit
ting to make public some of the work
which they have been and are doing
for the uplifting of the poor and
needy of the city. Their work this
year has been more extensive than
ceived through tag day to further
their work are necessarily for the
replenishing of their funds to even
more work than in the
past. They have furthered the great
interests of charity during the year
by the establishment in South Rock
Island of a tuberculosis hospital, or
sanitarium, and have spent, already,
a great portion of the fund which
they raised by the sale of the little
Red Cross stamps during the Christ
mas weeks. They have a regular
system for finding the needy tuber-
this line has been entirely success
full, Miss Margaret Giles. visiting
nurse, reports all such cas- TO a
committee especially appointed by
the circle each month. Besides Civ
ing proper treatment to patients I'M
der their care. they furnish them
with fresh eggs and milk, and num-
erous other little things which do
much in aiding such patients.
In Need of Funds
When a person stops to consider
q fhiG he hol
is being done to humanity and that
this work by the association and the
Kings Daughters is a great service
and should be helped along A lib
eral contribution will certainly be
uppermost in the minds and hearts
Of everyone next Saturday when APP
preached by the young ladies who
are to sell the tag, the symbol of
charity. Both organizations, as has
been stated before, are in need of
funds to continue this work, and
hose who have never taken an active
part in charitable work can hardly
appreciate the great amount of time
and trouble which is necessary to
larry out the work.
The women of Rock Island who are |
,e assisted and encouraged in every /
way, especially by those who here
.ofore have not taken part in tag
lay. Everyone should remembers
hat it is not special favor to the
,nes who are selling the tags, but /
or the aid of a commendable cause, +
he cause of charity. through whicff
he poor and needy are aided and l

With them are aided by their better
nent as we'll.
Harmony I'm Labors,
The sympathies of the two soci-
ties are along the same lines. one
working in conjunction with the 9TH
r, although the organizations are H
distinctly separate. When the As
house was established the
circle of the Kings Daugh-
ers gave 800 for the furnishing of
room at the house. The fact that
