Good Skating Promised, Along with
Fine Weather

Zero weathey hit us Sunday night
with increasing severity since, till
Monday and Tuesday nights, when
the ice came down so thick as to
completely fill the channel, culmin-
ating this (Wed.) morning, when
the mail, with three hands, was
unable to effect landing on the
west side, after fighting their way
thru the ice
The last trip of the White Swan
was made Sunday. Monday morn
ing the boat was ice bound, with
ice lodged in front of the barge
landing on the west side of the
river.
Monday the barge and platform
on this side was pulled out of the
water, and Tuesday the same
thing was done on the west side
Active work of pulling the boat
out on to dry land is now proceed
ing. It is stated that if open wea-
ther continues the hull of the boat
will be given a new coat of paint.
1t is only occasionally that the
river in freezing gives US a smooth
surface. 1t looks now as if we
are to have the finest skating that
we have euer enjoyed. The cur
rent of the river in rounding the
point above the Agency left big
sheet of shallow water on this side
of the river, from the ferry landing
up, which has frozen over without
any running ice being in it. In
this place the ice is now(as much as
two inches thick, and is compara-
lively safe for skaters, provided
the freezing at night continues.

MONTHLY MEETING OF C. Q. DIRECTORS
Interesting Report by Miss Osborn
 on Thanksgiving Work

The December meeting of the di- rectors of the New Britain Charity Organization was held last evening in the organizations rooms on West Main street. As usual Miss Osborn's s report was the main event of the evening. The first part of the report was devoted to the Thanksgiving dinners that were distributed. The same routine is being gone over for the Christmas holidays with the ex tra work of assigning the different clubs and classes and providing a Santa Claus for a number of institu- tione. Thus the work goes merrily on from day to day until once more the holiday season is past and the work returns to it's normal state. During the month of November there were SPA requests for aid at the or sanitation which were all taken care of Following is Miss Osborn's re- port for the month: .-~
 To the Directors Of the Charity Or
 ganization:
 s'Why didn't ! the city give me som ething on Chicken Day." was the Indignant inquiry of one man on 5the day following Thanksgiving Day. He evidently recognized the fact that the Charity Organization serves as a clearing house for holiday plans and came straight to headquarters for in formation. He was told that so far as the Charity Organization was con-
New Britain herald., 1916-12-14

of Public Charities, which naturally does not undertake to expend city funds for holiday extras. Other po- lice officials made further suggestions of names for our list where they themselves had no fund to meet the need. Then as fast as church and so- ciety lists were presented we crossed off all names duplicated on our own list, which was gradually dWindling. When all other lists had been looked over ours still remained sizable.
 Meanwhile clubs and office groups,
 school children and benevolent peo-
 pie were coming to us with Thanks
 giving plans. Some wished the names where they might send din- ners, some wanted to carry provisions
 personally to families, a few wished to send donations for Us to distribute others wanted to give us credit at a certain store in favor of a family and many more made us a cash gift to
 be expended in any store we chose and for any family we might select. So long as the Charity Organization receives a discount from many charit- ably inclined merchants, we could make the money stretch farther than
 the donors themselves. We were eo1e"o IO o"CNO1IlIIlOudIS pSOp1C eAo "oi1 as we could, which ever method of giving they preferred to take.
 Occasionally at the eleventh hour someone would notify us that there were not enough provisions for all the families they had undertaken to look after and asked us to see to the remainder. Others would tele- phone that they had surplus for us to dispose of. No one could be sure till the evening of the day before Thanksgiving just how things were coming out and naturally we had to be as alert as possible to look after them.
 It appeared at one time that we would not have enough to go round for our receipts this year were much smaller than usual owing to the gen. eral sentiment that present prosperity does away with most of the need. But we sent out distress signals penses.
 Where we ourselves did the order ing of dinners we had the provisions sent direct to the homes with a card inscribed Thanksgiving greetings from friend" It may be very gay and exciting to load up truck or au- tomobile and send a lot of happy folk peddling dinners but it's a little hard on the recipients and we prefer to pursue the quieter method if possi- ble

from interested individuals, and IFS from applicant themselves. Of the
 108 families with whom we came in
 contact, thirty three were new appli-
 cants during the month exactly ten
 more than applied in November, 1915,
 423 people called at our office; of these IFS were applicants for aid or service, and 245 were friends who wished to consult us regarding some family. The agents made 123 calls and there were 464 telephone inter-
 views in behalf of families in whom
 we are interested. We were aided by volunteer office assistants who gave
 thirty-fVe hours of their time. The thirty-three new cases represent
 ed many nationalities as usual. In ten instances shiftlessness or va grancy seemed to be at the root of the trouble, in four non-support was the cause, whereupon we cheerfully collaborated with the police, four m ore were due to physical handicap, several were due to illness and others
 mainly to widowho ood, immortality or intemperance.
 A number landed in the charity
 shoals when circumstances caused
 their income to ebb at the same
 time that living expenses advanced. No need was caused by lack of em-
 ployment. There is work for every one who can and will work these days
 and our chief business lies in help ing families where the wage earner is incapacitated or dead.
 Twenty eight families received aid during the month, eight for tempor- ary troubles and twenty for special 1 emergencies. Clothing was given to fifty-six $63.79 was expended for aid from the treasurer's fund. s6O.55 from the agents special funds. s24.39 was spent from the special shoe fund for fourteen pairs of school children's shoes and outside aid was secured to the extent of s36.OO, making a total of s184.73 spent for relief through | the Charity Organization during Mo- vember. A great deal more aid than l this was secured which could not be l accurately reckoned in dollars and cents when someone else was doing the paying, but these sums stand, un l on our books. , Respectfully submitted

cerned, no family with an able-bodied man in it was given place on this years Thanksgiving lists, and that person able to negotiate for mat ter of over $1O0 within a few days, would seem able to purchase his own dinner on "Chicken Day."
 This year as usual the Charity Or ganization served by making a confi- dential comparison of the various lists of families to whom churches, societies and individuals were plan ming to send dinners. We noticed that each list was a bit shorter than it had been in previous years, show ing that more families were able to
 provide their own Thanksgiving cheer. Tn many instances the, name of the family appeared on two, three or even four lists sent by churches, societies or welfare workers, and in all such instances those whose lists conf1icted were notified and asked to consult with each other and decide who should retain the name and who should drop it. Som etimes under these circumstances two organizations decided to make a combination gift, and this method seemed to work suc- cessfully.
 Comparison of Lists.
 The secret comparison of dinner lists by one person in the Charity Organization office serves largely to prevent duplication which is so dis appointing to the donors and un- necessary for the recipients. No matter how needy a family may be- two or three baskets of perishable Thanksgiving provisions will not fill the need as adequately as one basket with the remaining outlay spent for other aid It is our aim not only to prevent such duplication but to spread the money and effort involved just as far as it will possibly go, so that as far as we know, not one will be neglected while others have more than they need.
 While these outside lists were slowly coming in for our comparison, we ourselves made up a long list of families who in our judgment needed a Thanksgiving dinner, and added to it all names suggested by the Board

Lord, give me Faith from day to day,
Courage to go along my way,
Believing Thou art near my side
My every thought and step to
Abiding faith in Gods great grace,
Lord, keep my eyes upon Thy face.
Ny Father, give the star of Hope,
To guide me as I steer life's boat;

A wondrous hope, unworthiness con-

That Thou wilt shower me with Thy

Which asketh nothing in return.

Her little broken murmurfngs
Above first-born violet.

The look she lifted, CHANGING on

Somehow to flower; the chrysolite

With every pearl a delicate bud,
And each sapphire a bloom new-blowr
To thrill her eager angelhood.

DYSPEPSIA
OF WOMEN
Special Treatment Required.

Many women suffer from form of
indigestion or dyspepsia which does not
yield to ordinary treatment. While the
symptoms are similar to those of ordi-
nary indigestion, yet the medicines
usually prescribed do not restore the
patients normal condition.
There seems to be kind Of dyspepsia
caused by arrangement of the female
organism. While this appears to be the
same as ordinary indigestion it can be
relieved only by medicine which, be-
sides acting as stomach tonic, is good
for female ailments. Read what such
medicine did for Mrs. Williams -
