in this city. many Of whom leave these
institutions for their homes In a con-
valescent state totally unprepared phys
ically, mentally, socially or financially
to help themselves. Due TO a charter
provision the city is unable to give out
door relief. except in the case OF the
blind. so the Social Service Department
OF the municipal hospitals was organ
ICED in 1906 TO give after care TO con-
valescent cases. The department Is
financed through the generous public
and the women's auxiiiaries connected
with the hospitals. Owing to the great
number OF poor unemployed the volume
of the work has increased three fold in
the last six months. 1t is hoped to raise
a substantial sum from the card party
on Saturday to carry on this humane
and constructive work.
