Might Anticipate Spring Houseclean-
ing SO Far as Clothes Closets,
at. Least, Are !,
Concerned.

Clothing of all kinds is wanted by
the Good Fellows. An appeal is made
to the housewives to anticipate their
spring house cleaning, which Is only
two or three weeks distant, and to
make canvass of the clothes closet
and get out everything that will be
suitable for the demands Of the Good
Fellows.
The Good Fellows have many de-
mands for clothing, but practically
nothing with which to meet the de-
mands. That is why the Good Fellows
are appealing to their friends now to
help them out in this and to send them
supply of clothing which will help
to meet the demands being made upon
them.
Clothing of every description, and
shoes are needed. There is need for
children's clothing, land also for
clothing for adults. People who have
such clothing, which is in good con-
dition, will confer favor on this very
worthy organization if they will send
Union home or il they will telephone
Miss Dorothy Younker, Black 1881,
who will call for the bundles.
1t is quite possible that many house.
keepers have clothing which they are
waiting until the spring house clean
ing time to dispose Of. AS that time is
only few weeks hence, it is suggest
ed that milady advance her inspection
Of the clothes closet these few weeks,
and get out all suitable garments and
send these to the Good Fellows or
ganization. This is a practical char
ity and has the Endorsement of the
city, and Is one which should be aid
ed. The Good Fellows plan is such
that it helps the unfortunates, but
still allows them to keep their self re-
spect and Independence, and is a con-
structive organization in the full sense
Of the word.
