GIVING TO TRANIPs.

What shall be done with the vagrant
who comes to your back. door asking
for food? This is a question that
bothers many kindly people IT is
much easier to give than WITHHOLD
from the seedy and pathetic creature
who asks so little compared with your
abundance.
Yet the assistance is commonly un-
deserved. The New York Salvation
Army has studied this' beggar life
pretty closely, having maintained a
dread line for many years. The
other day an employment agency man
offered work for 200 of these beggars.
In only five cases was it accepted, in
even a lf-hearted way. Many of
these men also patronized other bread
lines, on which they depended for a
living. The Army on this showing
decided to give up this form of char1-
ty.
The easier it is to get food at back
door handouts, the more pleasant and
profitable the life of the tramp be-
comes. It acquires the character of
a regular business, and is organized
and systen1atized. Places where good
feeds can be had become widely
known through the mysterious tele-
graphy of the underworld.
Yet it seems as if there should be
some human contact with these pa
thetic wayfarers. Locking them up
in a Jail and kicking them out of
town next day does no good They
are used to it and regard it as all in
a. days work
Some people combining generosity
with intelligence make it practice @
stop and talk with all who ask aims
They are ready to heIf if the story
seems hopeful, but the man with the
strong breath gets no assistance In
the hearts of many Migrants there
must be some desire for a more settled
life. Sometimes the sense of shame
can be aroused. The mere gift of food
or money without inquiry does more
harm than good. But if a man really
seems to have some good motives and
a disposition to work, a little friendly
advice while he bolts down his sand
witch may set him to thinking about
the futiity Of his life.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-03-24

There's more truth than poetry in
the old saying, "a new broom ~weeps
clean" The attraction for a man and
woman at the outset is like sunshine,
morning. Both put forth their best
efforts to be pleasing, each to charm
| the other.
In the fervor of early love nine men
out of ten are apt to propose mar
rage. 1t is the courtship which drags
along without apparent aim or object
which is trying to the girl at least.
There are times when the most anna
! bic of girls doesn't feel equal to the
strain Of entertaining her adrnirer
with wit and gayety-the qualities
which he seems to appreciate most in
her Nor is she able to fall in with
his different moods at all times No
man living is of the same tempera-
ment, day in and day out for years.
One time he is gay and debonair, at
another time sarcastic. Yet, again, he
moody and respondent.
Most girls have found it to be an art
to keep up their attraction against
these varied moods. It is the girl who
believes that a man is so deep in love
he could not quit her who allows her
self to lapse into Indifference in her
endeavors to interest him.
In this she makes her first mistake
If he is gloomy she does not make an
effort to dispel it. He leaves her
thinking he has spent a wretched eve
ing. When two really make up their
n nds they are to be sweethearts they
should study. each others moods, try
to coax happiness to bind them closer
each time they see each other. 1t
should go without saying that court
ship is known to be the 3tryout of mar.
rage. That is, that each may deter
mine if the fancy which attracted
them together has grown a nearer and
dearer sentiment, or if the attractions
are waning.
No girl should expect her sweetheart
to dance attendance upon her every
evening in the week. Nor should she
be churlish if he chats pleasantly with
some other girl with whom he has
been on friendly terms before he ever
knew her. If she fms he is a pr11-5
dent young man, there is no surer way
of Disseminating him than by appear
ing in new bib and tucker every
time he calls, or showing in divers
ways that she is extravagantly in
cIined.
No matter how strong a hold love
may have upon a young mans heart
he can be Disseminated. More often
than not, logic diSlodges romance. The
girl VINO boasts to the poor young man
that she cannot and will not cook in
the Kitchen even in her own, loses a
spoke in the wheel of attra ctiveness
Before the marriage proposal has es-
capped his lips, he takes while longer
to consider. His eyes are being
opened to her lack of the right quail
ties for poor mans wife. He rea-
sons that If poverty came in the door
her love would fly out the window
Most girls study the situation and
overcome the obstacles which would
cause them to lose their attractions
for the sweetheart who becomes dav
by day more dear to them

BIRDS THAT LIKE HU-

ANTS OF STATE
REPORT CAIN OF
1000 MEMBERS

With the closing of the winter cam
paign for new mem bers the directors
of the State Association, Opposed to
Woman Suffrage have received re-
ports from the various branches in
townh and cities in Connecticut which
will enable them to take to New x DIRK
glowing reports of the campaign be-
gun here the first of the year, which
has already resulted in the addition
OF more than 1000 members to the
rolls of the Connecticut branch. The
members of the directorate who at
tend the meeting of the national or
ga nizatiOn at the Plaza ON March 80,
will be able to report not only a gain
lin membership as large or larger than
that of any state except New York,
but will also tell of the number of
addresses at public meetings and the
debates held here since the winter be-
gan. The Indictment weather of March
and the late opening of spring con-
siderably disarranged the schedule ar
ranged for this month, but neverthe
less the state directorate have, re-
ceived favorabl reports from the
branches in the several towns and
cities, showing an increase in mem
bership as we'll a spread of the
educational doctrines by the members.
Following out the plans made earlier
in the winter, tine individual members
have made a special study of the ar
guments and figures concerning the
relation between suffrage and anti
suffrage, with the result that they
have been able to expose the fa1lacies
of the suffrage argum ents with regard
to WON en-workers and the voting of
women in states in which they have
the ballot.
The Connecticut organization also
received with interest reports of the
recent suffragist mix-up at Albany.
which was followed by loud protests
from suffragist leaders, as well as
threats as to what would happen to
those who OPPOSED them. These
statements are similar to those which
emanated from the suffragist leaders
following their visit to Washington
last fall, in spite of the fact that they
announced that from that time on
there was to be no campaign, of 'tpes-
tering'' of legislators. The unfortun-
ate male member of the New York
committee, who announced that 'fhe
women hung around too much,' finds
himself the target for all varieties of
staten ents, but in making such a re-
mark, he but voiced the sentiment of
the a.nti-suffrage organization, which
holds that legislative halls are not the
place for women. The crowding of
committee rooms and Hobbies, the
'tbuttonlholing'' of legislators and
tn reats as to their constituencies ac-
tions in coming elections, seem ever to
be the concomitante of the presence !
of the suffragists at state eapitols, In

AeMAN WHO HAS MADE
HEALTH CONTAGIOUS

In the Orient they have new and
significant name for Manila, the capt.
tai of the Philippines They call it
ftthe city without odors.'' Only people
accustomed to Asiatic cities can ade-
QuateIy understand the tribute COM
prised in these words. The phrase is
more than a tribute to Manila; 1t is
a tribute to new idea in Oriental
civilization. Manila has taught not
only the Philippines, but China, India,
and the entire East a truth which
they had never suspected; that is, that
filth and disease are not necessarily
a part of existence. For ages small
pox, cholera, plague, beriberi. leprosy,
and other diseases had seemed to be
part of natures regular order in the
Philippines. In the last ten years
these scourges have disappeared or

( CORNER FOR COOKS
Some Facts Abont Kidners

Kidneys are digestfbIe or not, de-
pending on the way they are prepared
and cooked. Ask your butcher to re-
move the fat and the hard inner por-
ton; if he does not do this, see that it
is done in the kitchen.
The first process of cooking kidneys
is to place them in cold water and let
it come to the boiling point; this
draws out the blood and makes the
flavor more delicate In the case OF
beef kidneys. repeat this process. The
kidneys are now ready for their final
cooking, whether that be stewing or
brodl2ng, but whatever the method
they should never be boiled, as this
process toughens them.
