them care to be quoted on the effect
on home charities of the frequent calls
for foreign war sufferers, the intima-
tons are that a slump Is sure to be
felt in the treasures here.
Charities that depend largely on
public contributions and church col
lections were the first to feel a reduc-
tion in public giving. All the charity
workers seem to be broadminded
enough to recognize the worthiness of
helping people across the ocean, but
they do not like to see their own
causes at home suffer as a result.
The Children's Aid Society and the
Associated Charities cannot give any
definite statistics at present as to the
with last year, but officers says con-
tributions are not equal to the in
creased demands of the last few
months. Requests for help they say
are much greater, but gifts have not
increased.
Salvation Army in Distress
The Salvation Army, which is one of
the best barometers, feels the differ
ence keenly. Captain Nielsen, in
charge here, says he never-saw such
winter in his experience, and that he
gets only an average of so cents day
in free-will offerings and collections
while in former years he collected
from two to three dollars day.
He says many men who formerly
had steady work are now idle and
rapidly spending their small savings
and beginning to pawn extra articles
of furniture. and jewelry. Many chill
dren. he says. are suffering from
short rations, poor clothes and empty
coal bins
officers of the American Rrescue
Workers find similar conditions in
their wanderings up and down the
city and says that so cents day is
a liberal amount nowadays.

GIVE THE HEAD A CHANCE.

There is a young farmer In Pennsylvania who
directs the operation of his farm from his bed.
While still In his twenties a little understood dis
ease left him without the use OF his legs; he can
not be moved from the house. HIS farm was not
much OF a profit producer when the owner led
his men In the fields. At the close OF the year
he almost invariably found that ends barely came
together. His hard work with his hands did not
increase the bank account.
But now everything is changed. Through force
OF circumstances this man has become IA real
farm manager. DUNG the long days he has spent
on his back he has studied the problems OF every
part OF his farm. He knows the fields better
than do the men who work them. He knows
more about markets than does the man who hauls
the milk. butter and eggs to town Bookshelves
line his room and records are In the filing cases.
This crippled man has studied himself into a
successful farmer. He always had the ability, but
before his misfortune he thought he hadn't the
time TO read and figure. He was an undeveloped
farmer.
Thousands OF men who are running farms today
think they are wasting time when they sit AT a
desk and try TO figure out the problems OF the
fields. There was never a greater mistake. The
crippled farmer has shown that occasionally arms
and legs are used 20 much that the head doesn't
have a chance-The Country Gentleman.

yet durable material, it's color should
be as sotlproof as possible, and its
style designed for comfort and

up splendidly for the coat that is des-
