OF charge which never paid for the SER
vice rendered. The women assisted
materially to maintain the institution
by their work. the Mayor said.
Concerning the recent criticism OF 4
the hospital Tor having failed to take
in a case of a young woman, Mayor
Howell called the attention of his
hearers to the fact that more than
sixty per cent Of sucn cases treated
al the Homeopathic Hospital was
charitable work and -hat the ospital
maintained a free maternity ward
where to his personal il owledge more
than 500 such cases nave been admit
ted free. For this reason, he said,
] to his mind il was unnecessary for any
of the workers to reply to this criti-

Z days after the above occurrence a
/ young woman was admitted TO the hos
piial under similar physical condi-
ticns. not because of this criticism, but

circumstances surrounding the case
He added that he had learned that
those who did the most criticising had
never given the hospital even pound
of coffee.
Mayor Howell asked for the hearty
cooperation of the people in the pres

were lending their help. Again refer
ring to the charity work done by the
hospitals, he said that they willingly
take care of charity cases and as far
as he knew none of the local institu-

city.
He urged the captains of teams and
their helpers to exert every effort to
make the campaign o success and
adopt the motto: Confidence in
Yourself and Confidence in the In
stitution You Represent" He said that
he much rather would have 81 from
cne thousand workingmen than $1,000
from a man worth Millions not that
he was opposed to the wealthy. but he
liked large representation. He said
