High School Auditorium
Plans for Better SyStemat-
fzing Charities Discussed

4 large and representative gather
ing of Albuquerque citizens assembled
last night in the high school auditor
ium at the annual meeting of the
civic Betterment league. Plans for
placing the charity work of the city
on a more systematic basis were dis
cusscd and in every way the meeting

Of the league, while not spectacular
had been most effective, but that
stin greater work lay ahead of the
organization.
For Juvenile Court.
Mrs Keller addressing the meeting,
favored the establishment of deliu-
ducncy and Juvenile courts and pro
posed that bills be introduced at the
coming session Of the legislature to
provide for such tribunals and that
vigorous campaign of education on the
subject be conducted by the league.
Prof. Dean Worcester of the Uni
versity of New Mexico also advocated
the scientific treatment of juvenile
delinquency, and took the position
that the prevention, rather than the
punishment of crime should be the
aim of society and that juvenile of
tenders should not be made to feel
that they are criminals for fear that
they be actually impelled into life
of crime

league next submitted his report

during the past year and the plans
that have been outlined for the Tu-
ture. The machinery for charitable

Salt rheum is one Of the worst and
unfortunately ono OF the most common
of all diseases. How It reddens tho
skin, itchcs. oozes, dries and scales,

Sometimes 1t covers the whole body
with Unframed, burning patches and
causes intense suffering. which is COM

Local applications may do some
good. but they cannot permanently re-

annoy, pain and perhaps agoniac until
tho blood has been purified and tho
general health improved.
