 State Board of Charities.
 After the singing of a hymn, Mrs. Frank A. Mitchell spoke briefly on the Owrk of supervising the work of the charitable institutions of the state. The prisons. she said, and the refOrmatories were the SaddeSt places to visit, be- cause one felt that the inmates were there through their own wrong doing. Visiting an insane retreat one feels the deepest witty, but not the feeling of dCCOnlDd1llSS a the prisons. She told of the confden- tial talks with prisoners and the good accomplished through this medium.
 Mrs. Mitchell dwelt at length on the work in the county hcmeS as most inn pOrtant, as the state has 2,500 depend ent children. An agent has been ap- pointed recently to go through the state seeking private homes for these little ones now in the public institIs- tiOns. The county homeS Mrs. Mitch ell said, were very good homes for the children, but one woman cannot moth, CT go children as they should be moth cred.
 Mrs. Walter E.@Canfeld spoke on Our Literature. telling of the efforts of the Kings Daughters along this line.
 The Younger Daughters.
 The Younger Daughters of the King was the topic of the interesting address by Mrs. Stewart Lewis. She urged the young people to greater efforts in Christian work and made many Sug gestons as to the channels through which their efforts might be turned to the greatest usefulness. Some Chris tian people, she said, lay awake nights fretun2 tbout things which they can not do, when there are plenty of things they can do. Every city. she said, should see that it's boys and girls have somewhere to spend their evenings be- sides on the streets, and she urged safe and sane social gatherings of the boys and girls together. The Kings Daughters. she said, work for all, for we are all daugters of the King. We can always lend a. helping hand Wner- ever we are that is where we have an advantage over any other organization. She closed with the suggestion that we must get Christ into all our problems 10 win. Her address was interspeFsed with many humorous illustrations, yet her appeal was an earnest one and made a decided impression on the au dience.
