PLENTY OF ROOM
IN POOR HOUSES

Poor houses are going out of style,
1t seems, from the report or Martin
F. Conley, superintendent Of the
Clemsford-Streeth hospital for the poor
in Lowell, Mass.
Until the last few years tn. inmates
of poor houses had steadily increas-
ed from year to year. In almost
every case of want among these for
lorn old people ii was ascertained
that their present state could have
been averted II. during their earning
years, they had learned the principle
of thrift.
But for several years. since the ad :
vent of the government savings
plan. Their, has been less and less de-
mand on public institutions OF charity.
According to Mr.. Conley this can be
traced directly to the beneficial re-
suits OF campaign for thrift, to-
gether with the easy accessibility OF
government securities bearing SPLEEN
did rates of interest The saving
habit may be acquired with hardly
more effort than that Of squandering.
il the RICH. incentive Is supplied and
an effective means OF investment pro-
vided. it is proved.
