lieve needy families about the city.

spend $3.50 which Il will donate to aid
the needy at Christmas tide. He fur
nished the lodge with list OF names

lodgemen viii look after their wants
At the request of another lodge. Mr.

of twenty-eight worthy persons in
need. A woman requested the names
of seven needy families for whom she
will provide Christmas dinners.
The Society for Prevention OF

about seventy-hve persons. and has
five blind children to care for.

where a man, wife and three small
children were living in a barn; an
other case where a mother, deserted
by her husband. was found helpless
with her three-days' old and four
months old babies by her side. and
several other cases equally as dis
tressing
Mr.. Stout will be glad TO furnish
names Of persons in need OF immedi-
ate relief TO those who really want 10
help to relieve suffering. but he has
no time or inclination to give names
to persons prompted merely by
curiosity.
