600 voters nine-tenths are owners of government
bonds There are 100000 savings accounts in
France, and half of them little ones-less than 81.
But only one in ten of us have savings ac
counts: the rest of us are good fellows
l attended the funeral of good fellow
recently. He had always Lived up to his
income" When the company for which he
worked was reorganized ten years ago, the
president said to him: Have you thousand
dollars?"
A thousand dollars put into that business ten
years ago would be earning competence for his
widow to-day. But the good fellow" didn't
have it, he had never learned to And now

SWEET CHARITY
PLACED ON BASIS
Of EFFICIENCY
What Local Organization Is
Doing in Way Of Giving
Where Giving viii Do Most
Good; Money Badly Needed,

The Civic Betterment league re-
GENTLY Went before The people Of Al
Dnaueruue and asked that F2,9oo pe
subscribed or paid for the prosecution
of the work the organization intehus
to do during the year 1871 Sucu
was the indifference shown to the
purposes of the men and women Who
asked the contributions that only
little more than half the amount
sought was raised. The civic BET
terment league did not continue It's
arrive for funds, nor did it register
any complaints al the unrespohsl'e
attitude of the public 1t merely de-
cided to do the best it could with lile
funds i'm hand and rely on a better un-
derstandng i'm the future brlnEihs III
the money with which it may De en-
abled to accomplish its aims.
For there is no doubt that the IN
difference of the people Of Albuguer-
que to the civic Betterment league
SPRINGS from ignorance rather than
Coldness. If the average man ana
woman understood fully what Is pc
ing done by those in charge OF lhe
work-if the tangible evidences on
the good that is being done could pe
presented in visible form so thal the
average man and woman could see 1t
without being told-it would be uh-
necessary to make any drives LOT
funds TO support the ORGANIZATIONS
cucb a stream of voluntary and uhso-
1icited contributions would come form
as would put the league on q perna-
mont business basis for an indefinite
period of time
Egflcicncy the Watchword.
TO the average person there is
something cold and forbiddne about
the suggestion of Organized char
itv. The term has come 10 imply
lack of generosity giving on n car
culating, businesslike, srudgihg nasiS
the charity that makes a close m
spection to ascertain the worth OF the
object to which it is applied anu
frightens off all except the proIes-
sional mendicant.
In order to ascertain how errone-
Gus this idea is as applied to the civic
Retterment league one has only to 20
cut some day with Secretary J.. F'
Reed and observe at first hand some
of the work that he is doing. Ihefe
Is nothing cold or calculating or re-
pellant about the charity that the
organization dispenses. Businessilhe,
perhaps, but not gTudging. Efficiency
is the watchword of the league. Those
in charge of its activities can not De
led to see that sweet charity becomes
any less sweet BY reason OK being ell
fiCient.
Help to the CITY.
There are few who realize the eA-

tent TO which the civic Bettermcnt
league has lightened the burden that
otherwise would fall on the city au-
thorites of providing for the indi-
gent iuvahds. tuberCular and other
wise, who have come to Albuquerque
in search of health and who have
found after arriving that there is no
way by which they can sustain them
selves and provide the absolute ne
cessities Of life Perhaps no city in
the United states has q larser num-
her of such cases, and il Is doubtful
if any city Is spared the expense oL
ministenng to its unfortunate tran
sient population as is Albuquerque.
No longer is the sick man and the
unfortunate down-and-out passed Oh
to the next town up or down the road,
TO become a burden on anolheI oO''''
munity and in turn passed ON by it
to some other town, Through the
activities of the Civic Bcttermcnt lea-
que, those who find themselves IN
Albuquerque sick and i'm need are
given the care which humanity de-
mands and which the necessities OF
their cases require. If they have
relatives or friends in distant CITY
they are placed IN communication
with them and the FAMILY ue, perhaps
long forgotten, is re-establlshed' H.

not for a day or a week but for all
the year arOund-a campaign to make
Albuquerque not only a prettier hut
healthier place to live.
For the league is anxious to pro-
vide not only for those who come
here sick and are unable to get the
means to make them well, it is equal
ly anxious to insure the health and
comfort of those already here and to
prevent the healthseeker who comes
To- Albuquerque from becoming a
menace to the permanent resident Of
the city.
Vital Statistics.
One matter in which the organi2n-
tion has already done a work that is
little appreciated because little known
is the compilation for intelligent ref
orence and comparison of the vital
statistics of the city and county. To
be sure the city and the county au-
thorities have both provided for the
filing Of reports by physicians ana
others that make up the mortality and
health tables that are published from
tme to time, but no provision has
been made by law for classifying and
tabulatmg these reports In the
form in which they appear in Off
Cial quarters they are practically
worthless, because they furnish no
standards by which any intelligent
conclusion can be drawn.
In the office of Secretary Reed, Of
the Civic Betterment league, however,
there are tables compiled from these
official reports that are invaluable to
the physician or the student of vital
statistics. They show IN comprehen-
slVe form the various conditions anG
causes contributing to mortality of
the different classes of citizen, the rel
ative mortality of Spanish
and Anglo-AmcrCans and of children
of both races at varying ages the
percentage Of contagious diseases and
the different ailments that are most
dangerous; and in short every con-
ceivable sort of information that can
possibly be useful in the movement to
better the health conditions Of the
city and county
\ Burden or a Blessing?
Only a few of the many things that
the civic Bctterment league has done
and plans to do can be mentioned I'm

bilitics for good are unlimited II IS
