have already contributed $4,000 for
This philanthropic purpose We hope

that. Every dollar given to this
cause goes unmutilated to it's desti-
nation. We have no paid solicitors.
The money you give is not subjected
TO any overhead charges. All the ex-
renses IF collection are provided for
by Mr.. Cleveland Dodge and his asso-
ciates. 1t is the one charity which
yields 100 per cent of results.
Appeal to the Wealthy.
Nearly all of our contributions
have been in small sums We hope
some of the wealthy people in Wash
ington will join those who are not
wealthy in helping this cause along.
We are not sending any solicitors to

solely upon your voluntary aid. Don't

heart speak for you. Let your child
playing about your feet appeal to you
There are thousands of children of
his age starving and freezing. The
people of Washington have not been
slow to do their duty along these
lines. We do not ask you to refrain
from other worthy charities. either at
home or abroad. We do ask you to
consider this one which is now most
appealing, and most insistent.
There are no absolutely starving
,cople in Washington. There are few
n Armenia who have even one square

misunderstanding hairs are soon
banished from the skin with the
aid of a delatone paste, made by
mixing some water with a little

the skin washed to remove the re-
manning delatoue. This simple
treatment banishes every trace of
hair and leaves the skin without a
blemish. Caution should be used

Just a tree and a gift for each to show them that, although they are tenn uorriy resting in the home from the bat tlc with tbc elements and from the compc- itiou of their fellow men, they are rcmcm- bored: and thanks for the part they played in couqucrug Alaska from the wilderness win make for them a joyous Christmas time.

so prohibition.
We drank standing up at bar.
That is wrong. To stand is tiresome.

more than they would were they sit

four men came up to the bar, knew
it would be four rounds; each man
had to treat" Our use of mixed

who would balk at three straight
