advisory board, which will look after
the best interests OF our FL Paso
home for destitutes.

spirited business men and citizens,
who have been suggested as possible
mem DerS OF our advisory board, and
from this list the board Will be
formed Its duties will be purely ad-
Visory and viii be to exercise a gen
eral supervision over the financial
affairs Of the home.

to the Salvation army goes
to faraway headquarters that il is
necessary for the good OF our work
that the finances Of our local benevo-
lent institutions be supervised by re-
liable local people. who can vouch for
the fact that not a cent raised in
Ell Paso goes out Of the city.
The advisory board will have &C
IN he 90 81
