tention to one man who has been bed
ridden for three years and who is now
burden to his family and caring for

hospital for a week or so while his
wife gets rested up. Another man, a
drunkard, and who, she said, should
be a city charge, has been taken care
of by the Civic league. In this case

way to prevent him from getting IL
quor or to prevent others from bring
ing it to him. A third man, Miss Met
tel said, has a family to support and
isss in dire circumstances, but he refuses
