YOUR AID NEEDED
FOR THESE CASES
Days Routine In United Charities
Offices Points Out Instances
in Which You Can
Give Relief.
FURNITURE AND FARES
One Family Can Got Along II Burden
Of Paying for Furniture Is
Lessened-Railroad Trans-
portation Needed.

Let each human being within the
limits of the possible be self-support-
ing: let everyone take intelligent
thought for the morrow and IL a
human being supports himself and &C
Quires a surplus, let him use a part
of the surplus for the unfortunate and
let each one to the extent Of his
ability, help his fellow men," was a
declaration Of Robert G. Ingerson.
A glimpse Of yesterdays work in
the office OF the United Charities is
given in the following illustrations OF
needs. Your help is asked that these
and others may be helped get in a
position OF self support.
Several months ago family con-
sisting of man and wife and three
children moved into Keokuk. All
they brought with them was little
bedding and the clothes they wore.
The man did not seem to find it diff
cult to obtain work, but was unable
to hold q job for more than a week
or SO. What little furniture they got
was secured from one Of the second
hand stores. They were to pay for
this at so much per week. They have
been unable to make payments since
the man has gone and the merchant
is coming to take his goods back to-
morrow.
The United Charities believes that
there is enough old furniture stored
away in the homes of Keokuk to sup
ply this family's wants. They need
two beds, springs. mattresses, four
chairs, dresser, and table. This
woman has sufficient work to support
herself and children Independent of
charity, providing she can be relieved
of the burden Of paying for the furni-
ture.
The mother of three little children
has found life unbearable with her
husband and wishes to go to sister
over in Illinois. The sister has prom
ised to give her a good home, but
cannot supply the transportation
which costs three dollars. Does some
one wish to spend three dollars in
aiding this little woman in getting
away from brute of man? The
United Charities will see that she
reaches her destination provided they
can get the money for the railroad
ticket.

ment of the house is" said the speak
er. emphatically, as he left the white
house portico. besieged by newspaper
correspondents. The letter Of the
president to Senator Stone and Sena-
tor Stones letters to the president
continued the speaker. "are the last
word on the two sides of the question.
When the house members read these
two letters they will determine what
the situation is"
Speaker Clark said practically the
only subjects discussed were the pres
fdent's correspondence with Stone and
the house sentiment for a warning
resolution
The president absolutely refused to
recognize the demands for warning
resolution, the speaker indicated. He
also plainly intimated the president
was advised that the house member
ship would probably reserve to itself
judgment regarding its future action.
That Clark, Kitchin and Flood are
personally in favor Of a warning reso-
luton as means to prevent possible
war. was also told the president.
The demeanor of the three house
leaders after the conference left little
doubt that their convictions had not
been changed by the presidents argu-
ments. They also admitted their suE-
gestions had not in the least changed
the president.
The democratic leaders, however,
promised the president to give him
their utmost support in preventing
summary action by the house.
The presidents friends declared
later they would continue the fight in
congress against passage OF a warn
Ing resolution.
The speaker, Kitchin. and Flood
were the center of excited groups OF
congressman upon their return to the
capitol
The speaker made the following
statement when he reached his Of
fee: -r..s
There is rumor that the Germans
will postpone their threatened sub
marine program until the middle Of
March or April !. I am Just guessing
at this. If this s so. it Will give more
time for consideration. II the sub
marine order is delayed. l think the
whole matter. so far as the house is
concerned, will remain in status quo.
The whole sum and substance Of
our interview with the president out
side Of explaining the temper Of the
house and much arguing on both sides
is that the situation is set out fully in
the letters Of President Wilson and
Senator stone published today. We
explained how the house feela We
told him the resolution would carry
in the house two TO one il We get Il

it would carry three TO one

about international law and precedent
which is unnecessary to repeat. The

Necessary for State Board Of Control
Purchasing Department to Seek
Sub stitute for This
Dish.
THE PINTO BEAN IS TRIED
Inmates Of State Bindings Seem to
Like the Change-At Least
There Have Been no
Kicks.

AS the price OF navy beans sharply
advanced within the last few days,
the state board Of control is making
arrangements to omit this variety of
bean from the bin Of fare of the state
institutions. The pinto bean, with
an increase in the ration Of rice, may
be substituted.
Harry Shropshire, purchasing agent
for the state board of control, is ask.
ing for bids for food supplies for the
next six months for sixteen state in
situations, having a population of
more than 10000. In getting prelimi-
nary prices, he found that the navy
bean, much in demand as food for
the soldiers in Europe, has continued
to advance in price. Last fall the
dealers proposed to supply the state
at the rate Of S3.75 bushel The
price now has advanced to s4.25 a
bushel.
Experiments With Pinto.
Shropshire conducted a series OF
experim ents with the pinto bean, to
determine If they would make good
substitute for the navy bean. He ac-
cordingly bought 10000 pounds and
for the last six months the 10000
wards of the state have eaten them
instead of being served with navy
beans. The wards appear to like
them as well, if not better. Not one
complaint has been received, the pur-
chasing agent says. The pinto bean
is little larger than the navy bean
and is spotted. 1t is used extensively
by the Mexicans in preparing their
favorite dishes. It is declared to be
high in nutritive value.
kotn xurt1 Oh
pounds Of beans during the coming
summer. The dealers will be given
an opportunity to bid on navy beans.
but as the pinto bean is almost 81 a
bushel cheaper, it is likely that the
pinto will win, the officials say.
The budget calls for $4,000 pounds
of rice for the next half year. Last
fall the state tried the experiment of
buying only American grown rice.
The results have been SO satisfactory
that the plan will be continued.
Dry Goods Also Higher.
AS for dry goods which win be
needed by the states wards, the pur-
chasing agent has found practically
everything advanced over the rates
quoted last fall. Denim jumped from
Is to % cents a yard, ticking ad-
yanced from II to 13 cents, cheviot
shifting from 6 to s cents a yard,
sheeting from % to 26 cents a yard,
while muslin also is up l cent a yard.
1t will cost the state 80 cents more
than formerly to put man in stripes
at the penitentiaries. The cost Of
the goods from which the suits are
made has advanced from 80 cents to
81 yard. only third grade men now
are required to wear stripes in the
Iowa prisons. 1t is possible for every
man, by proper behavior. to avoid
that kind Of prison garb.
Coffee is said to have raised in
price The dealers say this also is
due to the war. Hardware, drugs
and everything the state needs at the
institutions has advanced In price. it

UNUSUAL PICTURE
 AT THE COLUMBIA

A story of unusual interest is the offering in Her Debt of Honor at the Columbia tonight Valli Valli is seen in the part of a society girl who to pay a debt left by her dead father, agrees to nurse one of the most prof. ligate men of the City of New York in his last illness. The degenerate lives in summer home on the banks If the St Lawrence river and know ing he is going to die surrounds him. self with the worst band of degener- ates re can find in all New York. The Baecelerain revels and debauched parties at the beautiful country man. sion furnish the story with the. one pure thing to hold the theme from being sordid is the faith of the girl who sacrifices herself to cancel this obligation of her departed father. The New York papers in reviewing it on the occasion of it's screening said: It Is without doubt the most gripping and unusual story of the year. There are those who are not going to rave over it for it calls a spade spade and sometimes is bit broad. But |the insight into the other side of the gay and too rich set in which the brute lives is the punch.
