 Twenty-one families received emer- gency aid from our charity organiza- tion funds,-$35.S9 of this coming from the treasurer's funds and $49.62 from the agents special funds Ten children were provided with school shoes at an expenditure of $11.61 ow- ing to reduced prices, and aid was or ganized from outside amounting to $103.40 making a total of $200.52 ex- pended during the month for emer- gency help through the charity or ganization.
 Thanksgiving Dinners.
 As usual the charity organization served many churches and organiza tions by confidential comparison of their lists Of families to whom Thanksgiving dinners were to be sent. Many implications were avoided in this way. There were 16S names on these lists submitted, and the char ity organization workers knew of fif- ty-five other families being aided by the public charities or charity organ ization who were equally in need of a dinner. Under the present labor conditions the charity organization felt no compunction in drawing the line: this year we provided no Thanksgiving dinners for any family in which there was an able bodied man. Twenty-seven of the fifty-five names on our own Thanksgiving list were taken by offices, clubs, lodges, Sunday school classes and private in- dividuals who carried fine dinners di- rectly to the families. For the re- maining families on our list we pro- vided dinners out of the money handed to the agent for that purpose, taking care to send an acknowledge ment to each donor, giving him some idea Of the use made of his gift.

CHARITY PROBLEM
 LESS COMPLICATED
Lack of Employment Practically Eliminated as Cause for Aid

That charity required drought ur-
 employment is less needed in this city
 at the present time than in a number
 of years is attested by the monthly Z report of Miss Elsie c. Osborne de-
 livered at the meeting of the direc- tors of the New Britain Charity Or ganization last night Miss Osborne besides reviewing the situation in New Britain as 1t relates to aiding those in need of material help de- votes some space to valuable sug- gestions along other lines. She be- lieves 1t would be worth while to have various welfare agencies here listed in the city directory with some definite information as to their pow CTS and scope. Another suggestion. which would probably work out ill tho formation of a Girls club, is for the benefit of the girls between 14 and IS years old who are engaged at work during the day, but in their leisure hours need help and direction. For the boys who have little to do in the vacation season but wander the streets, it is thought 8 summer camp would provide a, wholesome outlet for their thoughts and energies. The question of rc-establishing a day nursery is also discussed in the re- port.
 Miss Osborne's Report.
 Miss Osbornes report in full is as follows:
 lTo the Directors of the Charity Or
 ganiZation:-
 Last winter the resources of the Charity Organization were taxed to the uttermost to provide in addition to our usual work, for the many fa- miles in need because of slack of work or total lack of employment. The demands were such that this so- ctety like its prototypes in cities all over the country, was forced to "pro- gress backward and take on for the time being some of the methods of the old line relief societies, in order to meet the situation adequately It | is a1 very we'll to say that our principle is to search out the cause of { the need in each instance and then try to remove the cause; when that cause is clearly unemployment, and !; no work Is to be found, the barrier Is great!
 No Lack of Work
 From present indications the prob en1 of unemployment no longer ooms large. There is not at present } single family being aided in any way by the Charity Organization, in which need of charitable aid is litions are apparently quite normal in

this city so far as the labor question is concerned. Poverty is of course never a normal condition, but the Charity Organization will find more than enough work to combat the poverty brought on by widowhood old age, intemperance, feeble-mind- edness, vice, illness, and accident.
 Statistics for the month of Novem- Der show 219 applications for ser vice; eighty-three from public off, cials, societies, churches and out of town organizations, and 136 from ap- plicants themselves. Of the seventy six families we came in contact with during the month, only 23 were now to us. In these twenty-three instances the main causes of need were widow hood, sickness, old age, and vagrancy.
 There were 2S8 calls at our office, 67 visits made, 339 telephone inter- views in behalf of families and We

The use of Sage and Sulphur for restoring faded, gray hair to it's nat ural color dates back to grandmo oth- CTS time. She used it, to keep her hear beautifully dark, glossy and abundant. Whenever her hair fell out or took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mix ture was applied with wonderful eff feet.
 But brewing at home is mussy and out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for a 50-cent bottle of 'Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound" you will get this famous old recipe which can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair and is splendid for dan- druff, dry, feverish, itchy scalp and falling hair.
 well-known downtown druggist says it >darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one strand at tinie. By morning the gray hair disappears, and after an- other application or two it becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and abundant.

Japan's Demands.

The United States within the last
twentyfour hours. through its ambas-

eign secretaries OF Great Britain,
France and Russia, as the allies of
Japan. to learn their attitude toward
the present status of the JapaneseChi-

The sending of an ultimatum by
Japan to China has brought the far
eastern situation to a point where the
United States is interested to learn
what is the position of the powers who
have acted jointly with reference to
Chinese affairs since they became par
ties to the open door policy.
Officials here maintained strictest Sc
crecy as to the character Of the COM
munication sent to the American EN-

the United States Is endeavoring to
bring the influence of the European
powers to bear to secure a settleme mt

American Government Issues
Statement Setting Forth
Its Position in Far East

Viscount Chinda. the japanese am
bassador. and kai Flu Shah. the Chi
nese minister. sought separate inter-
views with Mr.. Bryan last evening, but
declined to discuss the object of their
visits. While at the department it Is
believed they were shown copies of
the statement of the American posi-
ton. occasioned by the critical situa-
ton that has arisen in the far east.
American Statement.
The text of the statement follows:
I'm order that there may be no mis-
understanding of the position Of the
United States in reference to the nego-
tiations pending between japan and
China the following announcement is
made:
AT the beginning of the negotia-
tions the Japanese government conf
dentially informed this government OF
the matters which were under discus
sion and accompanied the information
by the assurance that Japan had no
intention of interfering with either the
political independence or territorial in
tegrty Of China. and that nothing
that she proposed would discriminate
against other powers having treaties
with China. or interfere with the
open door policy to which all the
leading nations are committed.
This government has not only had
no thought of surrendering any of its
treaty rights with China, but has never
been asked by either Japan or China
to make any surrender of these rights.
There is no abatement of it's interest
in the welfare and progress of China.
and its sole interest in the present
negotiations is that they may be con-
cluded in manner satisfactory TO
both nations. and that the terms of
the agreement will not only contribute
to the prosperity of both of these great
oriental empires. but maintain that
cordial relationship so essential to the
future of both and to the peace Of the
world

powers regarding the integrity of
China, but when the national dignity
and conscience are involved. she must
follow the path the situation justifies."
Elder Statesmen Held Back.
1t Is said in unofficial quarters here
that the elder statesmen at first were
strongly opposed to the ultimatum to
China. feeling that Japan had risked
too much and that she was likely to
lose the sympathy of tho world and
therefore do harm to vital permanent
interests. They even raised the feast
bility of dispatching special plenipo-
Tertiary to President Yuan Shat Kai to
arrange the controversy. 1t is said. The
minister of finance Is also reported to
have questioned whether the financial
condition of the empire justified the
radical step.
The press generally deprecates the
necessity of further concessions to
China. Some newspapers express the
fear that the impression will go abroad
that the elder statesmen are still the
power behind the throne.
