CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME = ORGANIZED
CHARITY WORKS IT THAT WAY, SAYS REPORT

ASASoAI hO"s "ACh So1ll1HON ShOA
1ty is making such a fight to prevent
the public giving to the needy any
aims that do not go through the
hands of the charity trust and the
county has been compelled to set
aside its custom of years of giving
Thanksgiving baskets because of a
deficit, the. report of the Curran SEN
atorial investigation committee, just
issued, holds some interesting facts
for the public to digest.
The United Charities and it's affil-
iations have made a protest to Mayor
Thompson against the plan of coun-
Gil that the city shall authorize tag
day for needy widows who are not
getting charity help from the trust,
and it has told the mayor that the
mayors own little bureau of public
welfare shall have the say-so as to
who may hold tag days. The head
of this bureau, Mrs. Louise Osborne
Rowe, is splendid trailer of the or
gained charity heads. The one big
thing achieved by the bureau since
Mrs. Rowe got the $5,000-a-year po-
itical plum was the woodplle plan
turned down as 'inhuman" by the
previous administration.
The Curran committee made a
two-year investigation of the charity
trust, and during that time it got
hold of the 'nigger in the woodpile''
in both the personal service" de-
partment, for which the trust takes
credit, and the fact that the charity
trust turns over to the county an
enormous number of it's applicants
instead of granting relief themselves.
Regarding the personal service"
bureau which is worked on the basis
that the charity trust takes credit to
itself for the money a man earns in
a job which they get him, the report
says:
"The United Charities furnished
the committee with a little essay on
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1915-11-29

" dIloCn 1ull OclOh fc1AOS "
the services rendered is far from
easy, yet each bit of service rem
dered by such kind workers has
cash value"
The Curran report quotes from the
statement of services rendered such
as getting jobs and taking children
to the country and the fact that the
visitors meaning paid employees of
the trust - received an average
monthly wage of $50, or $4,000 for
the year, and gave to the community,
figuring the jobs at the amount the
men got, ETC., 1921, 069.96."
This statement is so absolutely
ridiculous that it needs very little
consideration, says the CurTan re-
port. Getting employment for a
man is a charitable occupation, yet
in figuring out how much charity is
devoted in that.one endeavor, the to-
tai amount earned by everybody
placed in the position is not the
amount devoted to charity.
Eve suppose that if the United
Charities we're in the business of fur
nlSnlng employment to individuals
and charging them therefor they
would charge them the full amount
they would receive from their posi-
ton instead of merely a nominal con-
sideration for obtaining positions,
such as any employment agency
does. If the United Charities can
claim the value of the service rem
dered to be the total amount earned
by these men, and at the same time
these men will earn that amount, it
is new way of putting into circula-
ton money that was never coined"
The committee further declares it
doesn't get wise to how the U. C.
credits itself with a dollar whenever
they induce churches, relatives,
friends, employers and benevolent in
diViduals and other agencies to aid
families. There are equally in the

DAZZLING WITH SPECTACLE
LAR EFFECTS IS THE
PRINCE Of TONIGHT"

Gorgeous costumes, dazzling spec
tacular effects, high class music, stun
ming show girls and dashing broilers
form the background of that most pop
ular of musical comedies, THE Prince
of Tonight" which will be the attrac-
ton at the Opera House tomorrow
night, Tuesday, March 30th.
The cast is headed by Tom Arnold,
who is seen in his happest mood in the
title role. The story tells of the adj
ventures of Mr.. Arnold, as a stranded
college youth who falls in love with
and is snubbed by a beautiful heiress
whom he meets while acting as life
saver at THE Breakers" Palm Beach.
She coquettes with him and then in
forms him that minus wealth and posi-
ton he has no chance at all But he
is befriended by an aged gardner who
has learned mysteries of magic from
his plants and who turns him into a
prince of mythical land for night. 1t
is understood that if the prince fails to
receive a kiss from the right girl be-

dawn. The manner in which he es-
capes the fate threatened him and
wins the right girl gives the author,
Adams, Hough and Howard, unusual
opportunity to link modern characters
with magic and mythical situations.
The transformation scenes, the artis-
tic grouping of the host of pretty girls
included in the chorus, and the gorg-
eous stage pictures will prove revela-
ton. Joseph f. Howard, literally sur
passes himself in providing the music
for THE Prince of Tonight and the
constant introductions of musical
numbers offers much to charm the low
ers of good music.

RENT SYSTEM TO
PROMOTE GROWING
OF FOOD CROPS
Especial to Times-Recorder)

ATLANTA, Ga, March ga new
plan for the payment of rent for land
nv tenant farmers to landlords, and
one that should be considered of in
terest and benefit to landowners in the
cotton belt in adjusting land rents I'M
der the new conditions now prevailing,
was presented by c. j. Hood a prom
inent banker and landowner of Com
merce, Ga, to the recent meeting, in
Atlanta, of the Executive Committee Of
the Georgia Chamber of Commerce, Of
which committee Mr.. Hood as a mem
Der.
Wishing to encourage his tenants TO
raise sufficient foodcrops to make their
farms self-sustaining and recognizing
the necessity for a change from the
old method of collecting rents in cot
ton or cash derived from the sale Of
cotton. Mr.. Hood devised new scale
of rents, to be paid in products. The
plan is as follows:
On the basis of rent payment per
acre of So pounds of cotton, or cash
payment of $3.50, cotton being figured
at ten cents, under the conditions here
tofore prevailing, Mr.. Hood has con-
tracted with his tenants to pay him TO"
each acre used, 40 pounds of cotton, 20
pounds of wheat, Sc pounds of corn, 30
mounds of oats, and 100 pounds of hay.
The intention was to secure suffi-
GENTLY wide diversity of crops to en-
able a farmer to make his farm self
supporting. With the necessary modi-
fication of products and quantities to
suit the different sections of Georgia,
mr. the entire cotton belt, the plan may
be made both good solution of the
rent problem for the landlord and an
incentive and aid to the farmer.

MEAT CAUSE OF
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take Salts to Flush Kidneys ii Back
Hurts or Bladder BOthers.

| If you must have your meat every
day, eat it, but flush your kidneys with
salts occasionally, says noted au-
thority who tells us that meat forms
uric acid which almost paralyzes the
kidneys in their efforts to expel it
and weaken, then you suffer with a
dull misery in the kidney region, sharp
| pains in the back or sick headache,
! dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue
is coated and when the weather is
bad you have rheumatic twinges. The
urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the
channels often get sore and irritated
obliging you to seek relief two or
three times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids,
to cleanse the kidneys and flush off
the body's urinous waste get four
ounces of Jad Salts from any pharma-
cy here; take tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast for
few days and your kidneys will then
act fine This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to flush and
stimulate sluggish kidneys, also g
neutralize the acids in urine, so it no
longer irritates. thus ending bladder
weakness.
