 $2O4s 50 Tt is steadily becoming more mani fest to the public that organized charity is the best method of giving help.
 The object of Charity Associations is to uplift unfortunate and suffering humanity. and wherever possible ao instil selfrespect and a desire in the minds of applicants for charity to help themselves.
 Unfortunate circumstances some times make it impossible for people to help themselves. In such cases necessities are provided by Charity Associations. But more often is help solicited Soy those who have z st their self-respect, therefore much tact and wisdom is necessary in helping them.
 This is why it is best to employ workers to give his or her time to the work.
 In the one hundred and forty cases of families and individuals given help by the Charity Committee of the Board of Trade during the past year, forty-nine cases were on account of illness or accident. Out of these there were seven tubercular cases. Many other cases soliciting help were caused by intemperance, dissipation. lack of business ability shiftlessness, etc. Out of these about sixty people who applied for help were given a chance, by our furnishing them with clothing, so that they might look more respect able to find work or were supplied with meals and lodgings for a day or two. Some would of course prove unworthy, and mistakes have been made sometimes. But we have nevei encouraged the hobo" class and it was thought wise to refuse hell in many such cases.
 Out of the one hundred and forty cases gven help in various ways there were thirty-six families who were given temporary assistance an iii a better conditions of things could be brought about. Twelve o these families were left without and father to support them, because the father had either deserted hi ilv. or the mother was obliged Ito leave him and depend on the pub 1 lie for an existence.

Nine of thes' were placed in good permanent homes and the others were cared for ;era ssrarily until friends or re'asive. could again look after them. Tn , cbiIdren's Home Society at Lo Angeles is always glad to help u in finding god permanent home : for children. About forty-five child 1, ren have been provided with shoe s and o.ier necessary clothins-
 We were glad to be able to fin temporary employment iOt a'
 fifteen people. These wee mosti . women and girls.
 7 Transportation was furnished a half-rate in ten cases. Eight of thes 6 were on account of illness. when
 was thought necessary to have tn parties return to their friends or g to a more favorable climate f' their health.
 Six hundred articles of clothin were gwen out to poor families an a. individuals, most of which was a D. .sted. We were therefore able give much help in this way at sma ?. expense. In some cases where gro l. cries and transportation were fur
