NEW, BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, 'WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 18, “ALL’S WELL”—if you're sleeping in our paja- mds. And have our new fall underwear to climb into in the morning—and one of our well fitting business suits to put on when the ding-dong alarm clock calls.

IPROGRESS OR STAGNATION There are people who hold the opin- orr Phat doctors should not advertise. hey say “It's against the ethics of octors. A doctor who advertises is quack.” But supposing he has graduated rom the best universities of the orld; supposing he is licensed to practice by the state government; kupposing through his skill and ability e rescues hundreds every year from heSute of slow death and turns them fnto hale and hearty specimens of hu- anity, into useful members of so- siety—is he a quack just the same. The advertiser educates the public s to what it wants and then shows hem where they can get it. re, through years of study and ve handling of chronic troubles, a special knowledge and kild in my branch which the ordinary octor does not possess. This fact s of utmost interest to thousands of bufferers from curable chronic dis- ases who have been treated by one Hoctor and another without finding elief. Why should I hide my light nder a bushel? Are people not ntitled to learn of a man who in all bility will be able to cure them? ? not the daily paper the best nd quickest means of information? fhall hide-bound, dusty, hundreds of ears old laws stand between you and ealth? Would you rather keep on fuffering ethically, or be curcd un- thically Look over this paper, my skeptical riend, and you will find me in very fog¢ company. You will notice ad- fertisements of the pest merchants hnd business pcople in this town.

Interesting Report by Miss Oshorn of Her Endeavors Just $214 has been recefvedyby the rity Organization in its Dollar i fund campaign which is already its third day. When times are prosperous as they are at the present there is no reason why the people of this city cannot contribute a dollar to help :‘Along the cause. Osborn, the agent of the org nization has taken a page from her work of the day which should interest many that are doubt regarding the usefulness such a thing as charity. The report follows and goes to show that all ig not a bed of roses as some may think: Early in the morning came a wom- in in of penniless the night before. these people wait till so late at night to make their wants known, remains a mystery. She had been fed and comfortably 1«{iged by the agent and had now come to talk over affairs. As usual she proved to have friends | near at hand although supposed to be homeless and friendless and she was placed on the train, her friends be- ing notified by telephone of the time of her arrival. Next the mail had to be opened— including a friendly note . from a woman helped long ago; requests | from out, of town societies for calls to be made on local relatives of fam. | ilies they were helping; a plea from a state organization for statistics; a letter enclosing a check from a lady | for a child she is befriending; a bill for groceries which had only to be checked up before being sent to the friend of the family to pay for; and a letter asking for aid for a certain fomily. Answers must be made to this correspondence, also inquiries sent | out to other Charity Organization so- cieties and notes of thanks to donors to the Agent’s Special fund. Gradually callers began to come in— a young girl for whom a suitable home is being found; a doctor to consult about aid for the family of | a patient; a lady to ask for present address of family she has long been interested in; and another friend who brought a box of warm, useful cloth- as | an who was reported as stranded and | Why | ( first line trench but were driven out. | Rancourt, north of the River Somme, and the Sunshine society responded to an appeal for baby clothes. Because there was a little more of- fice work than usual fewer calls could be made. However, an optician was interviewed about a child recently | sent him; the probate jndge was con- ! sulted briefly, a sick woman was glven | somt flowers along with her grocery order, a widow with seven children was ited on a special errand, an em- loyer was asked confidentially abont the abhility of a certain workman; a widow was visited because the charity organization bill for milk delivered to | her needed revision; and more flowers were left in a household where the breadwinner was ill so long that help Was necessary. At the end of the day there was still a scatteding of eveningf telephone calls at the agent’s home. This work was accomplished by a part time agent who is also woman | probation officer, assistant giving full time, and a young stenographer who | helps three hours a day.

Next a homeless man dragged in asking for clothing but being invited to exchange and leave his cast off shoes, he decided to keep what he had so long as there would be noth- ing extra to sell for a few cents. Work being urged upon him, he hur- ried away mumbling something about a weak heart.. Then a woman ap- | peared asking for an occasional day’s | work to do. After the addresses of several households needing help had | been given her and the housewives | notified by 'phone of her coming, she went out to return later and told of two days’ work secured for each week, After this a man called to report that a certain family would need no more | ald, as the head of the family, recent- released from jail, had just re- ceived his first week’s pay. Soon the mother of seven chilaren came to ask for extra school clothing and for a pair of shoes from the special shoe fund and following her came a wo- man whose husband is very ill so that she needs a weekly grocery order. A perplexed father had left the factory in order to talk over family affairs,’ and after him a mother came to en- list help in getting a better paid po- sition for her daughter. During this time a committee met to talk over one phase of charity work in this city and then an old friend called to ask for a pair of shoes to be exchanged for a little work. Before he left a lady brought in an armful of flowers from her garden to give to forlorn call- ers at the office and a widow came to | make anxious inquiries regarding the | insurance she carries. Next an ad- verising letter was brought for ex- planation, the smooth statements and generous phrases of a western firm had nearly hypnotised one poor wo- mon into a written promise to pur- chase something she had neither money nor use for. After schood a little girl appearod sent by her mother to ask for cloth- ing. She was sent away smiling but empty handed as it is against chari organization principles to encourag: children in the art of hegging. Soon after a woman came to report an al- leged swindler and he was followed by a little girl one of a widow’s five, all of whom are under nine years of age. She wished to have the charity or- charity organization explain the mean- ing of a note sent hgme from school to the mother wh cafinot read a word of English. During this time the tele- phone was constantly in use. A school teacher phoned regarding one:of her children; a doctor Inquired about aid for his patient; a lady informed her workers of a new arrival in this city who must have baby clothes at once; several ladies telephoned in their fruitless quest for maids; one mother for a girl to act as nursemaid hool hours and a note wa mediately sent to a possible eandidate. Numerous calls were exchanged with the public charities and probation offi- cer comparing notes with certain fam- ilies. A lady enquiring about a char- itable solicitor at her door was re- ferred to the chamber of commerce. An out of town worker telephoned asking that a man who had moveq to this city be locatel at once. Someone inquired dejectedly for a man to do farm work and somecone else had a mattress to give away. The phone was also used in calling several employtrs in behalf of some- | 'ne in tneiwr employ; in consulting with a landlord in beha mily in ar- | rears for rent in ascertaining from the ! city cleric’s office that a certain birth | had been recorded and inquiring for a. ) sick man. Two clergymen were asked | for advice concerning parishioners; a | factory nurse was questioned about ccmpensation received by an injured | Forest street. | They moved ta this city about fifteen | the family attended. | of the founders and charter members. | The annual Mr. and Mrs. Edward Twichell are teday celebrating the golden anniver- sary of their wedding at the home of their son, Reuben C.

APPROVES AMERICA’S COURSE Manchester Guardian Says It Can Un- Understand Our Vexation at Mail Hold Up—Believes Gain Small. London, Oct. 18., 11:46 a. m.— Commenting upon the reply of tae entente allies to the American protest against interference with mails, the Manchester Guardian says that while the allies are acting in thelr legal rights,” we are extremely skeptical about the military value of the exami- nation of inward mails from the United States. Moreover some of the inaerference is merely vexatious, and we cannot conceive why German nevrs- papers to the United States should be regarded as contraband. “No doubt correspondence might be carried on by that means, but the risk of injury to us is small, and we can | quite understand the vexation of Americans at this double or treble in- surance at their expense.” HOLD LOCAL GIRLS. Sophie Kazieka, 18, of 234 Washing- ton street, and Alice Konstanick, 21, of 17 Broad street, are being held by | the New Haven police pending an in- vestigation of their characters, They were arrested in New Haven last night on suspicion and today the woman probation officer from the Elm city Mrs. Peck, visited this city in refer- ence to the matter.

The runaway auto was finally stopped by Saul P. ‘Waskowitz, who climed aboard and man; the health board was consulted tightened {he brakes. DECRIES CONQUEST BY GERMAN ARMY PHILIP SCHEIDEMANN Philip Scheidemann, the socialist leader, in his speech in the reichstag pointed out the vitality of the German nation as shown in the present war, criticised the censorship and con- demned the measures taken by the authorities for the daistribution of food. The Socialist leader then dis- cussed the peace problem and the ob- jects of the war. “Chances for peace today are poor,” Herr Scheidemann said. “Since Briand and Lloyd-George have preached war until the bitter end the chancellor is unable to tallk peace. But we are free to do so. The nations want peace. If the contrary be said in any country, then is is absolutely untrue. “The French nation is kept ignor- ant by censorial prohibition of the fact that it could see its country as well as Belgium still free today of German troops without shedding one more drop of blood and without los- ing one more square foot of soil. What do these nations still fight for? That the French shall stay in France; that the French shall stay in France; That the Belgians shall stay in Bel- gium; that the Germans shall stay in Germany. This is the basis upon which the coming peace will be speech citicism main constructed.” Scheidemann’s has provoked some severe from his fellow socialists.
