PORTER SON “CONNECTICUT’S BEST FURNITURE STORE” JARITY ORGANIZATION REPORT SHOWS | POOR OF THIS CITY TO BE SUFFERERS Had It Not Been For Mild Winter, Have Been Greater—One Girl Has to Spend “Hope Chest” Money to Pay Family Rent. Among the various items mentioned p the February report of the New ritain Charity Organization is one pecially touching incident in which b young girl had saved up $100 for her ‘hope chest.” Then along came the Pusiness depression. The bread winner it the family was out of work and in o end the girl was compelled to [dfaw out her $100, which she bad jplanned on using toward a home of or own, and use it for rent and other bxponses of her family. The report ells of the lack of employment and, all, says: ust beore the beginning of the Year we were confronted with roblem of caring for several new illes because the Dbreadwinner s out of employment due to the readjustment of the industrial condi- tions in the world of labor. Until he present, this organization has for many months past found it necessary fo ald any family where a healthy man was the wage earner Steadily working fathers idle since October November find that their savings of a ow hundred dollars have rapldly melted aw. Beocause of rents com- anding, with few exceptions, almost the same figures as last year; with ood and clothing only a little less in price on the avernge: with fuel still more than double its old price of pre-war times, it has been impos- ible te make the savings last be- yond three or four months. Liberty Honds e sold at a sacrifice, real estate men could not find buyers for he fow, who expecting a continuance of ' prosperity, purchased small lots on which they hoped to build. Tene- ments remained empty, on whose in- gome the maintenance of the little i tage home depended. A Girl's Sacrifice ‘Snmo left home seeking employ- n elsewhere, drifting along and munaging to out a living but sending no ald home. Daughters, thriftily saving one hundred dollars toward the culmination of the much dreamed “hope chest” drow the last to pay rent so that the family ght not be turned out. Except that illness and the consequent heavy bils of physiclans, hospitals, opera- tiony and medication cause a heavy raif on the income a few of the milley In need might have weathe od these trying months. “In oral Instances a little cash on hand meant extra food for the children. Grocery account books had large bills awaiting payment, so the motttling of rents was deferred, but the subsequent month brought no job, Ay was expected, resulting In a few families being several months in arrears. Landlords have been oxceed- ingly patient, but as the weeks pass into months they, to, become anxious themselves idle, and tenants warned out. In Suffering Would ' the little money on hand used for food and with no purchase of coal early in the season, it has been necessary for the Charity Organization to ald to a considerable extent in purchasing fuel. Where there have been small bables and sick children, this has been quite essential. In several instances the Charity Organization has been | able to organize the purchase of coal from churches interested, also the payment of rents where iliness was the cause of delay, and gifts of warm, new clothing thus saving expense to our own treasury. Where some mem- ber of the family has obtained odd day's work the aid supplied by the Charity Organization has been e~ funded. “There are, of course, occasional men of the shiftless type who try to take advantage of any form of aid offered. Only in a few instances did this oceur among our townspeople. However the list of vagrants has in- creased somewhat, there being eight who have called at the office for re- ' lief. In spite of labor conditions permanent positions were found dur- ing the last three months for six and temporary days' work for eight. “The meed of aid is still increasing: dozens of school children are being underfed, mothers in delicate health are seeking domestic employment and school girls are clamoring for jobs | after school hours.

Strangers over ana again complain of the lack of street signs and the inability to locate thor- oughfares except with the inconveni- ence of repeated inquiries. Strangers always admire our pdrk on the hill- sides in the center of our factory town and exclaim at the possibilities of its beauties. Vi pdmire the type of substantial built along the elm shaded streets of our suburbs, but they comment on the bumps and gullies of the pavements and roads. Would not New Britain profit by us- ing the labor now available to beau- tify and improve the alue of our city? Would it be labor and money {11 spent when both the city and its peo- ple are benefited ?

Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound a Trial First Chicago,Ill. — ‘T was in bedwith a female trouble and inflammation and had four doctors butnone of them did me any'good. They all said I would have to have anoper- ation. A druggist’s wife told me to take iydia E.

HAYDOCK, 6824 St. Law- rence Ave., Chicago, Ill A Vermont woman adds her testimony to the long line of those fortunate women who have been restored to health by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, afterit had been decided an operation was necessary: Burlington, Vt.—*‘1 suffered with female trouble, and had a number of doctors who said that I would never be any better until I had an operation. I was so bad I could hardly walk across the floor and could not do a thing. My sister-in-law induced me to try Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and it certainly has helped me wonderfully. 1 keep house and do my work and have a small child. I have recommended Vegetable Compound to a num- ber of my friends and you may publish my testimonial.”’—Mrs. H.R. SHARON. Apple Tree Point Farm, Burlington, Vt. In hospitals are many women who are there for surgical operations,and there is nothing a woman dreads more than the thought of an ope: , and the long weary months of recovery and restoration to strength if it is successful. It is very true that female troubles may through neglect reach a stage where an operation_is the only resource, but most of the commoner ailments of women are not the surgical ones ; they are not caused by serious displace- ments, tumors or growths, althou the symptoms may 8] the same. e e d Pio this - society the best that Britain to this work shall give to there is ava in our form of service. We hope that the day will come when poverty and mis- ery hall be unknown terms. Until thai day, there is need, n great and continuous need, for service such as this organization can give to families upon which society is built, not tem- porary for today alone. but construc- tive, extending into the future result- in a permanent benefit to people’s lives. hope New ble Detafled Report.
