rugged Is to be brought back.
 "A little less than ten per cent Of our families suffered because of unemployment or short time. Every man able and willing to work should be provided with employment so that he can be independent in the care of his family.
 Tn fifty per cent of our families whose whole plan of life is in need of readiustment we meet numerous problems, some almost baffling. These problems can be met and solved only by using all the skill, ingenuity and patience that a train- ed social worker can command in his work directly with the members Of the family and with relatives and all other facilities our city has to offer. This can be accomplished only by the conscientious and unselfsh work of the staff of the Welfare as sociation and the cooperation and hearty good will of all other social agencies.
 Last year one hundred eighty eight families were cheered by Thanksgiving baskets This was made possible through the generos- ity of the Kiwanis, Everyman's Bible Class, churches, factories and friends and many individuals. At Christ mas time the Elks, Rotary, Kiwanis. Salvation Army and churches made two hundred twenty families happy with baskets. In this way many children enjoyed Christmas in their own homes with an addition of toys, trees and goodies which mys- teriously appeared the night before, so that mother could prove that Santa had not forgotten them after all. Many, anxious to show the holiday spirit, made use of the So- ciaI Service exchange located at the Welfare association and thus brought gladness to many a heart that would have been forgotten oth- erwise.
 Our grateful thanks are due to all clubs, organizations, churches, societies, public officials and in- dividuals who not only contributed at the holiday season but who have

How these families who needed intensive plans made, came to our
 attention is of interest. Eighteen applied personally. 80 were referred
 by individuals. and 2S by other agencies. Why they came for aid and advice is Of still more vital ln- teresL The problems presented by
 these families exceed their actual number in that often we are dealing in one family with more than one great problem, and sometimes sev- i eral minor ones beside. Possibly the l father is i'll at a sanatorium, the
 mother is without funds and one ! boy is truant.
 The S2 major cases represented IA problems of the unemployed or under-employed. In six instances irregularity in school figured quite prominently; disability from indus trial accident upset the smooth run ming Of home machinery in three cases; death from industrial accident caused a rearrangemen of the fam- fly conditions in three homes; tuber culosis registered itself seven times in that number of families; yenereal disease meant the breaking up of one home; while cardiac trouble, insanity and other physical disabil- ity occurred to the extent of bring ing the family to our attention in 40 instances. Partial or complete loss of sight, mental effectiveness both suspected and in some cases diag- nosed, occurred II times; intemper- ance, desertion and non-support caused serious conditions in 26 of imprisonment caused a temporary need. Juvenile delinquency figured in connection with other problems. Known sexual immortality and ilegi- timacy five times brought the need of reconstruction in the family status. Eight families were found in debt, discouraged and suffering, needing immediate assistance and a new plan to prevent their getting so far behind again.
 " -laL SVL F4NNc hCIC iCl44C Sl tO these many in need of aid? Be side friendship, encouragement and suggestion, financial relief to the amount of s578.39 from our special fund provided material assistance to 85 families over periods Of time ranging from a few days to many months. Bills for groceries. milk. shoes, etc, from the treasurer's gen. eral relief fund amounted to s1,- 104S5.
 There are natural resources from which to obtain help for the family and this effort Is always made. En- ployers and relatives assist when ever possible, and this did occur in 19 instances. Again we interest friends of the family, their church, and other family organizations. Sometimes families are eligible for state or city funds, so that we can make the desired contact with such and thus be of service indirectly.
 "As we repeatedly endeavor to show the community, the spending of necessary funds Is only one part of the work of the Welfare associa- ton.

KEEP LOOKING YOUNG

The secret of keeping young is to feel youn6-to do this you must watch your liver and bowels-there's no need of having sallow com pleXlon - dark rings under your eyes-pimples-a bilious look in your face - dull eyes with no sparkle. Your doctor will tell you ninety per cent of all sickness comes from inactive bowels and liver

 Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets are gentle in their action yet always ef- fective. They bring about that nat ural buoyancy which all should en- joy by toning up the liver and clear ing the system of impurities.

Get a 10-cent box

Sick headache, biliousness, coated tongue, head and nose clogged up with q cold-always trace this to torpid liver; delayed, fermenting food in the bowels or sour, gassy stomach.
 Poisonous matter clogged in the intestines, instead of being cast out of the system Is re-absorbed into the blood. When this poison reaches the delicate brain tissue it causes congestion and that dull. throbbing. sickening headache.
 Cascarets immediately cleanse the stomach, remove the sour. undigest- ed food and foul gases, take the ex- ces3 bile from the liver and carry out all the constipated waste matter and poisons in the bowels.
 A Cascaret tonight will surely straighten you out by morning. They work while you sleep-a 10-cent box from your druggist means your head clear. stomach sweet and your liver and bowels regular for months.
