CREDIT TO AID POOR.
~ Aten May De Formulated In CAM
paIga Against Food Prices.

A credit system for the Capitals poor
is the latest thing here in the campaign
against the advanced food prices. The
Community League" formed by John
H. Sherman, superintendent of markets
and weights and measures. is carried on
on a cash basis, and thousands are unable
to go in on that account
The Associated Charities proposes to
finance a wholesale buying scheme for
the poor in order that they. too. may get
the advantage of wholesale prices. Con-
ferences between Mr.. Sherman and J. W.
Faust. acting general secretary Of the
Associated Charities. are expected to re-
suit in the formulation OF a definite
plan in a few days.
More than 30 community leagues"
have been organized in the city as the
result OF Mr.. Sherman's activity. and
already they have become a factor in
buying at the Municipal Fish and Haskell
Produce markets. Fruits and vegetables
are still plentiful and indications are said
to be favorable for a continued supply
at low prices.

it started and what she has done for
it, and what awful headaches her
mother had and how brave she is in
bearing pain.
And that isn't the worst of it.
Women especially love to talk about
gruesome operations. If woman

been applied, she glories in telling
of it.
