HERE'S YOUR CHANGE
Brown Eyed Boy Wants a Home
Man Desires Position.

A little brown eyed, brown haired
boy, IL years old, is looking for a
home through the PrOvident aSsocia-
ton, Fourth and Jackson streets.
He comes of a nice family, says Mrs.
Callahan, office secretary, and has a
quiet disposition. His mother is a
widow, working, with two children.
She can keep the little girl with her at
her work but not the boy. Conse-
quentIy Mrs. Callahan is looking for
a home for the little fellow.
Another position that the Provident
association wants to fill, is a job at
some light work such as Waterman or
caretaker. A Topeka man of frail
health who has lived in the city 33
years needs the work. He has a posi-
ton at heavy labor now but cannot
stand the strain.

After January 1 all persons owning
property located in sewer districts who

''It is only fair to those persons who
connect their property with a sewer,
that their neighbors be compelled to

to countenance filthy outhouses just
