as the Octavia Hill ASSOCIATION of
Philadelphia.
This association since the date of
its incorporation in 1896 has been
engaged in purchasing, restoring ana
undertaking rundown, dilapidated
AMI insanitary dwellings, or groups
of dwellings. in the poorer sections
of Philadelphia. After these dwell
ings have been acquired and made
suitable for habitation the associa-
ton, either as the owner or as agent,
manages these dwellings in such a
way as to maintain proper standards
of living among the tenants, and in
order to insure this a friendly in
terest is taken in the tenants and
their affairs by the associations
trained collectors. who are expert
enced social workers, and are able
to give advice and help when this is
needed.
The association has conducted this
work successfully for twenty-five
years and now owns or manages
over 500 dwellings, which house ap-
proXimately $500 individuals.
The association has demonstrated
that houses can be kept in sanitary
and cleanly condition, social service
given and a reasonable and proper
return made on the investment after
deducting all expenses, for the as
sociation has never failed in the last
eighteen years to pay rour per cent.
per annum to its stockholders. The
Importance of the associations work
can be clearly understood when one
realizes that in some sections of
Philadelphia statistics show that
nearly 1000 families steep, cook. eat,
wash their clothes. entertain their
friends and even take in boarders,
in single rooms; and that in many
parts of Philadelphia cesspools, de-
spite the law, are still in use.
The operative builder does not
build for the man who can afford to
pay but six dollars to thirteen dol
lars a month rental, while there are
many operations providing homes
for individuals who can pay fifteen
dollars a month or more. The less
fortunate man must house himself
and his family in the neglected and
insanitary house, which once rented
for fifteen dollars or upwards, but
which, owing to it's present dilapi-
dated and insanitary condition, can
no longer be rented for more than
eight or nine dollars. The only
other alternative is to crowd several
families into a few rooms, which is
equally as bad.
To meet this need the association
has not only erected houses to rent
at $3.50 a month, but 1t has reno
waited and transformed many old
structures and made real homes OF
them. These rent as low as SO a
month.
This is precisely the problem we
have in South Harrisburg. in some
parts of the Sixth-Seventh, Eighth
and Ninth wards.
What are we going to do about 1t?

Disciples of Epicure. your period
of long and patriotic stoicism is

mand the restaurateur to furnish

Durdened soul. But all his need not
cause you to have any scrup.es
against the eating of this combina-
ton, a relic of ante-bellum days,
now almost a memory
This is the pleasant feature in the
lifting of the food ban by the Fed
eral Food Administration. Not made
quite clear in the dispatches from
Washington, Howard Heinz, food ad =
ministrator for Pennsylvania, has
issued a statement to the effect that
this will be allowed
No immediate change in the
amount of cereal substitutes use is
contemplated for the present, Ad-
mintstrator Heinz adds, predicting at
substitute rule will remain in force
until the end of 1918.
Rye flour may, however under
the new regulations, make up one
fifth of the amount of the substi-
tutes. This new regulation has been
made that the surplus supply of
rye flour might be satisfactorily
utilized.
Mr.. Heinz further stated bakers
are now allowed to use any kind of
shortening, including animal fats,
vegetable fats oils, compounds, but
ter or hog lard, but, as the need for
conservation of all fats still exists,
he asks that economy in their use be
still regidly observed.
Bakers may continue the use of
icings on their products, but since
they are limited to 70 per cent. of
their sugar supply it will be to their
own interests to use the icings very
sparirgly, employing sugar subsii-
tutes as much as possible. AS the
need for sugar conservation is ex-
ceedingly urgent and the supply is
decidedly limited. patriotic bakers
will reduce their consumption of
their consumption of sugar to a
minimum.
