Mrs. R. D. Johnston of this city will be the guest today of the Quaker club in Tus- caloosa, at the residence of Mrs. F. B. Nuzum. presenting an address on the sub ject, which she discussed perhaps with more eloquence than any of those to which she has given her support, because it is closet to her heart. The Tuscaloosa News says of her:
 Mrs. Johnston is one of the famous women of Alabama, and in response to the invitation of the Quakers will address the club on the subject of her great achievement, the Boys Industrial School at East Lake
 Mrs. Johnston is very charming woman personally and most enthusiastic speaker on the subject of the boys for whom she has done so much. She will be in the city only few hours, as she has to be in Mobile at the Federation of Woman's clubs"

Mrs. Michael Clifford, Chairman
 For Block Day. Outlines Plans
St. Vncents Out Door Clinic to Be the BeneficiaryThe Ladies of St. Vincent de Paul and Their Associates Be- gin the Distribution of Envelopes Today and Con-
 tinue Through Tomorrow
ny DOLLY DALRYMPLE

the Ladies of Charity have arranged, by which they hope to raise enough money for the Clinic, so that they will not have to call for help again during the year.
 "If the citizens of Birmingham would only respond to our call one day out of the year" said Mrs. Clifford, 'and give us of their abundance, the Clinic could be easily maintained together with the private donations that are made"
 And this plan for Block Day?' I asked.
 ''Is entirely new said Mrs Clifford Tag Day and Brassard Day are already known, but our idea is quite novel. In the summer the City Commissioners gave us permission to make our plans for Block Day, and we have been at work on it ever since. We have systematically divided the city off into districts, each district into sections and each section is in charge of a committee. Today between 10 and Il o'clock the ladies of the various .com- mittees will distribute envelopes all over the city, and tomorrow we will do the same thing again. On Thursday, which is Block Day. proper, the envelopes will be collected. No stated amount is asked from anyone. The contribution Is purely an envelope will only remember that any sum put into it means something for the relief of some poor, sick person, they no doubt will be moved to give freely of their store."
 ''ln the downtown district" continued Mrs. Clifford, Mrs. William Jordan will have charge of the distribution and col lection of the envelopes, and she will be assisted by the wives of the different phy- scans on the Staff of the Clinic The residence section of Greater Birmingham will be looked after by different com mittees, and nobody will be sighted, but everybody will be asked to do their part"
 "1s the Clinic badly in need of funds ?" I asked.
 "lf you only knew of the tremendous expense that is incurred each month," said Mrs. Clifford, flor medicines, band ages and all the things incidental to hos- pltal work, you would realize how much 1t takes to run the Clinic. There is notb- ing more expensive than sickness. and if the proper care is given to a patient it takes a world of money to meet the ex- penses, and a patient at the Clinic is just as well cared for as if they were among the wealthiest of our community.
 Mrs. George Bodeker, President of our Society, and all those connected with it, are giving their very best efforts toward making Block Day a success" said Mrs. Clifford in conclusion, 'and we will be very grateful for any contribution which may come to us, for those who give must know that their help is going toward a REAL charity-a charity that provides for the sick among the poor, than whom none is more worthy of help"

Since the opening of the Outdoor Clinic at St. Vincent's Hospital in September over 175 patients have been treated.
 If there has ever been a doubt in. the minds of the people of this community that there is crying need for this sort of institution-where the sick among the poor, regardless of creed or denomina- tion, can have the best attention and the best services both from doctors and hurses--this record ought to be conclusive proof that it is a positive necessity.
 The splendid new wing of St. Vincents furnishes ample room for the Clinic; it is fully equipped with every modern med tcal convenience; it is warm and comfort able and properly conducted, but it must be maintained, and up to the standard, too, and that is the reason that the Ladies of St. Vincent de Paul have been at work for months preparing for "Block pay,' at which time they hope to raise funds sufficient to keep the Outdoor Clinic

 The main function of the society is to collect money and distribute 1t in ways calculated to relieve suffering.

 What more commendable than that the women connected with this society should, with the assistance of other prominent women of this city, endeavor to help an Institution such as the Clinic is, and by so doing place within the reach of every poor man, women and child of any nationality, creed or church comfortable, convenient place for their sick?
 It is trying enough under any crcum- stances to be i'll, but the rich have their bank accounts to draw upon, to give them every comfort, but the poor man or woman when stricken must stop work, must be deprived of even the salary which buys their daily bread, and how much harder it is for them?
