Advent of Colder Weather
Increases Calls for Aid
for Poverty Stricken of City

The advent of the colder weather
with the prospect that real winter has
at last set in is registered by means
as unmistakable as the thermometer
at the Offices of the Associated Chari-
ties. Appeals for aid frCm destitute
and poverty stricken have already
shown a marked increase.
The mildness of the autumn has
been a boon to the citys poor al
though applications for help have
been numerous even during the early
period. Now with winter on the
threshold. the Associated Charities.
according TO Miss Carrie Rein, secre-
tary, is preparing for an unprecedent-
ed number Of appeals.
Most Of them have not the re-
hottest idea OF how to help them
selves or they would not be where
they are" Miss Rein said in summar-
izing the appeals made during the last
few days THE Associated Charities
can not deal with folks who have
ability and merely lack opportunity
or are in hard luck. They are folks
who have lost their grip. They are
out Of fortune, irresponsible. perhaps
shiftIess, and we must lend our slend-
er means toward supporting those
who are entirely helpless
Probably the most pitiful of the
cases came to the attention of the as
ISOLATION this week when a family of
10 without means of support, because
the father hopelessly i'll, begged for
aid. I'VE must have money enough
at least TO buy medicine for my hus-
band. he is dying" was the appeal
made by the mother. The children
are too young to work and the mother
is unable TO do but little 10 gain a

TO the poor house, but that they are
unable TO pay their rent. an aged cou-
pie begged for rent at the association
this week. A man and wife asked for
shelter the same night. declaring that
they are forced TO live on the streets
unless they can get help. I'VE want
TO keep a house Of our own, but we
haven't the money and We can not
get work." they said. -.
Destitute, friendless and with no
place TO go a young girl came to the
charity association the same day and
begged for help. II was night, there
was no place TO put her, no public in
stitution TO send her to, difficult To
get her into a private family where
she might earn her board, yet Miss
Rein found a temporary home Tor
her.
A second girl. in even worse circum-
stances, being the main support of a
mother and other <rothers and sis
tiers, made an appeal for help on the
same day. Search was made and only
temporary employment found FOR
her.
With the mother i'll, the father in
Jail and a small child sick. a family
made an appeal for assistance. Food
was given and an effort is being made
TO find employment for son, who al
though young, is still able TO earn
something.
A family of a man. wife and two
little children begged for help. The
wife Is i'll, the man is out OF work
They tried TO borrow of relatives, but
were referred to the charity office.
