ture OF the applications. The proper
course to pursue in such cases is TO

fuse to buy advertiing or respond to
charitable appeals until the subject
has been investigated by the proper
committee and card issued. The
solicitor should also be asked for the
card and the business men should in

the secretary's attention that some
solicitors after being refused card
have called on the local business men
and when asked if they had card.
replied IN the affirmative. The com
mlttees have been very conscientious
IN their investigations of the several
propositions presented so that the
business men can pretty safely relv
upon their work. The usual propo-
sltlon has not sufficient merit to stand i
alone and so "hook up" with some
local society; let's the local society
do most of the work; "bleeds' the
business man for advertising that is
not worth one-tenth of what is
charged; concludes with the last
act OF the evenings performance

practically the history of all such
propositions and if the business man
