Relief is simply a means to an end
with the United Charities the same
as medicine Is with a physician.
Complete or as near complete restora-
ton as possible is the object. For
the past three winters about this
time there has come to the Office a
representative of certain family. or
better, a double family, asking for a
little relief. The family consists of
man, wife and two children. their
paternal grandmother and her two
old maid daughters. The man Is a
steady, sober, Industrious sort Of a
fellow, but unable to command large
or even comfortable wages because
unskilled. The grandmother and
daughters reside in separate homes.
Immediate relief is necessary as a
palliative measure, but the big thing
is to aid the family in reaching a
point where help will not be neces-
sary.
Crowded conditions In the home
often play a large part in the cause
Of poverty It will not permit Of pur
chasing food In larger quantities than
will suffice for meal or two. This
means that the small merchant is
getting more for his goods than he
would if selling to those who could
lay in larger supplies. A certain fam
lily can buy but a dollars worth of
coal at a time and have to pay ten
cents to have it carried upstairs. An
other family buys only sufficient for
each meal, claiming they have no
place to keep what remains. This of
course is the most expensive way of
living. Education on right lines will
do away with much suffering caused
by improper management and is one
Of the weapons used by the United
Charities in defeating poverty.
If you believe in preventive work
you should be willing to support the
United Charities. Money is needed
for relief and lots Of it.

SEEM TIMID IN CHURCH
Some People Arc Afraid to Laugt,

ems to Stir Thorn
Up.

Evangelist Charles Reign Scoville
preached to two large crowds last
night, one in the United Presbyterian
church and the other at the First
Christian church.
Scoville talked in rapid fire style
again and took considerable time to
inform his hearers that he Is trying
to be good until he gets into his own
worship she'd" I'VE are just taber-
nacleing toward the tabernacle" he
said Were going to be in it Wednes-
day night. too, and then I'll not be so
tame. A lot of people are so afraid
to laugh in a church that I'm trying
my best to be good. They come in, sit
down and pull their lower lips down
over their knees for a lap robe tho
first thing. They sit there and try to
look pious."
Presbyterian church at 1880 o'clock.
The church auditorium was filed to
capacity and men and boys stood in
the rear of the building during the
entire service. The first offering Of
the campaign was taken at the United
Presbyterian church.
II never saw service worth ten
cents unless they took an Offering"
said Scoville. "You feel better when
you dig up. This money doesn't go to
me. 80 don't start worrying"
Later, an offering was taken at the
Christian church. The money goes to
the campaign current expense fund.
Chorister Finds Handicap.
Charles Stewart, chorus director,
did an excellent job Of getting his
chorus to sing at both churches. The
only hindrance the smiling chorister"
experienced was the fact that he had
everything but the chorus. The choir
was sprinkled over the crowd at each
nacle I'll see that you sing" Stewart
assured the songsters. The directors
wife, Faye Hudson Stewart, children's
worker, arrived last night and reached
the Christian church after the song
service had started.
That's Mrs. Stewart over there,
smiled her husband animatedly, as his
wife entered. I've been up here all by
myself-that is with the exception Of
the rest Of the party4all but Mrs.
Stewart" he explained as the crowd
laughed. "
Mrs. scoville sang at each service
and was received cordially.
Must EIln14 nate Sin.
you've got to get sin out OF your
lives and out Of this town if you are
going to clean up for God" said the
evangelist. "Sin, the word with the
serpent's hiss, is the thing that is
making the poor old blossom-nosed,
brandy-breathed, bloatedfaced, bulg-
fng-bodied, bowel-tanned boozer; sin
IS the thing that is sending boys and
girls straight toward hell"
The revivalist declared that no
strong church can be built up by
changing minister's all the time. Let

WHILE" he said. Il heard of one

perfect woman only as she shut her
self in the shell of her home and kept
the house immaculate and the family
buttons sewed on. These things are
not now to be considered unimportant
by any means, but neither are they to
be considered of the utmost worth The
clearly business man washes his teeth
three times day, but he does not con
centrate the whole force of his mind to
that task; it is merely a trivial Incl
dent in his working day. Neither then
should it be necessary that the house
wife attach too much Importance to
the washing of the dishes or the sew
ing on of buttons. These are the I'M
important little things with which every
life is hampered They are the things
which must be done, and done with
dispatch, but without soul waste The
wife today has become more than the
keeper of her mans linen; she is his
good comrade and chum; she not only
binds up the wounds of his spirit but
she advises him in his business; she is
his perfect mate, the other half of him
self in every phase of his life and not
merely the caretaker of his digestive APP
there are many unexplored joys which
the woman of today may investigate if
she wishes
The future will also behold the day
of the perfect mother, who is not only
the giver of life but the guardian of
the spirit; not merely the keeper of the
body, but the inspiration of the soul
In all the history of the world there
have been few perfect mothers, and in
this, the commonest business of a wom-
ans life there lies unlimited possibili-
ties The realm of motherhood is so
expansive that the eyes of women can
not see across its confines because it
becomes broader and more wonderful
with each advancing step Time was
when the good mother was she who kept
her children spotlessly clean and excel
lently fed; she who watched their bod
lily comfort, but who kept far away from
them on the high plateau of grown-up
land. But mothers are changing with
all changing womanhood The good
mother has come to realize that her
children need something besides the
ministrations of her hands; that by
some sort of mother-craft she must
manage to enter into the hidden re-
cesses of their minds; must be to them
not merely adviser and mentor but a
cheerful playmate with the fire of youth
burning in her soul; that she must
follow their growing imaginations with
