TO Do Away With Soliciting.

raise money for the Salvation Arm,
to conduct its relief work in Illinoi
| of soliciting of small sums II is tn
plan of the officials of the army t
put the relief work on a sound fnan
cal basis, with a budget system ant
) appropriations for each department
This has been impossible in the pas
because Of the meager funds avail
able
. The old method of raising funds TO
{ the work OF the army was the re
, salt of actual necessity. The solict
| tation of pennies. niCkleS and dime
. was the only method available Blu
it proved a wasteful system, waste
full in time and in strength of tn
j. workers. Under the new plan tn
entire time Of the Salvation Arm
} may be devoted TO actual relief wOr'
+ and this work be placed on a NOR
