"Although wc have already contrib uted to the fund for the year of 1915, we take pleasure in inclosing herewith additional check for $5 to help carry on the good work." The above letter came to the Asso ciated Charities yesterday from a prom inent firm In Portland in response to the appeal for additional funds with which to extend its work through the Summer. The unusual conditions of this year have made the demands upon the Charities so exceptional that unless the organization can procure a fund of $5000 it will be necessary for it to close its relief bureaus during the Summer months. An appeal to the public was made a few days ago, and in response to this appeal contributions are coming in with encouraging rapidity. Not only do the donations come in the form of cash, but also in jobs for destitute men, clothing, supplies and other forms. Flelschner, Mayer & Co. yesterday sent in outing flannel samples for sev eral comforters which will be made up by the Macedonian Society for the needy sick. Mrs. L. Thompson sent in two boxes of grocery supplies. Another helper obtained work for one of the cases mentioned in The Oregonian yes terday. Injured Man Near Want. Among the urgent cases needing re lief is one of a man who was injured a short time ago in a mill accident and who is unable to do heavy work. He baa a wife and four children to support, however, and will be able to do some kind of night watching or similar work. The family has savings barely enough to last them for seven days longer. Here are nine new cases of appeals that came to the Charities yesterday from people who had never before ap plied to the organization for aid: 1. Man, wife and two boys; destitute; about to be evicted from home by Con stable's office, which referred them to the Charities in hopes that they might be helped and might not have to be put out. 2. Man. wife and four children; man out of work, family in great need of fuel and clothing. 3. Man, wife and five children: wom an tubercular and man physically weak; family in need of fuel. 4. Man with sick wife appealed yes terday for assistance; had had no food for two days; out of work for six months: "wife has bad doctor's care but family destitute. Medical Attention Needed. 5. ' Family lA need of medical atten tion; mother partially blind; taken to free dispensary by representative of the Charities. 6. Man, wife and three children; woman appeals for clothing and food; father haa had nothing but odd Jobs all "Winter and family is destitute. 7. Man. wife and two children; man has not had steady Job since last year; appeals to Charities for food. 8. Man, wife and three small chil dren, all under 6 years; man has had no steady work for eight months; work has been procured by Charities for him three days a week; additional relief needed for a time. 9. Man, wife and baby eight months old; man out of work; no food; gas turned off In room so that they cannot cook; must have food, means of cooking and work. Among the other contributors to the help of the Associated Charities, Frank Monner yesterday announced that he will give a benefit in his skating rink at Alberta street and Grand avenue to morrow night, and will turn over a por tion of the proceeds to the Charities fund.

SELLW00D HAS ROSE SHOW Specimens of More Than 50 0 Flow ers Exhibited In Y. M. C. A. E. B. McFarland. president, and Alfred Tucker, secretary, of the Portland Rose Society, paid high tribute to Sellwood rosegrowers in their addresses yester day afternoon In the Sellwood T. M. C A. building, where the Ladles' Auxiliary held a show of Sell wood -grown roses, The rosea were shown In the reception- room, where they had been placed in vases, the display being; pronounced th 0 best ever made in Sellwood. Secretary Tucker said the display in point of per fection, delicate coloring and stems would be a credit anywhere in Portland. Mr. McFarland gave a talk on the care and cultivation of roses to secure the best results and answered questions. Specimens of more than 500 modern roses were shown. All came from the gardens of Sellwood. Many visitors vis ited the display in the afternoon and at night. Mrs. Pauline Miller Chapman sang two solos in the afternoon, "A Spray of Roses" and the "Mission of the Roses." A musical programme was rendered last night. Those in charge were: Mrs. W. D. Palmer, president; Mrs. E. H. Frederickson. Mrs. L. H. Alexander, Mrs. Harry Black, Mrs. I. E. Dutcher. Mrs. W. H. Beard. Mrs. C. M. Thompson. Mrs. Dessie P. Elkin, Mrs. Fred Meindl, Mrs. S.

Court Says Plea Delayed Too Long, Although He would Grant New Trial If Case Were Criminal. Circuit Judge McGinn yesterday re fused to grant a new trial in a personal injury suit on the strength of his own declaration that the 1915 jury list was illegally drawn. "It; is with great regret that I am unable to grant this motion in this civil case," said the Judge. "The jury list for 1915 certainly was drawn il legally, but the plaintiff has waited too long before attacking the panel. If this were a motion for a new trial in a criminal case. I would have no hesitation in granting the motion." A verdict in favor of the defendant was returned by a jury in March in the suit of T. G. Murphy against the Northern Pacific Railroad Company. Murphy had been injured while un loading an engine from a flat car. He sued for $5000 and got nothing. This is not an attack, on the jurors as men," said Judge McGinn. "There is not a dishonest man on the jury. But the jury list is not representative. It is drawn from one walk of life. There are hundreds of farmers in Multnomah County. Tet I have been unable to find one of them on the jury list. "Since when has the prosecutor had charge of drawing the jury which s to try cases he must prosecute?" demanded Judge McGinn, referring to the order of the County Commissioners that D. G. Tomaslni should seek the legal counsel of District Attorney Evans In selecting the jury list. I cast jio reflection on Mr. Evans. He would do not wrong, I am sure. But. in the words of the apostle, "We must avoid the appearances of evil.'' COMMODORE IS VISITOR F. II. Eldrldge Is Seeing Portland After Trip to Fairs. Commodore F. H. Eldrldge, United States Navy, retired, and Mrs. Eldridge are visiting Portland for a few days on a sightseeing trip. They are at the Im perial.

FIESTA PLANS DISCUSSED Rose Festival Governors Outline Work at Ad Club Iunclieon.' Flans for the Rose Festival in every department were outlined by the mem bers of the board of governors at the luncheon of the Ad Club at the Mult nomah Hotel yesterday, where they were guests of honor. Martin Hawkins, of the Multnomah Athletic Club, spoke on the field meet to be held the last day of the Festival, and Robert Krohn A Warning Air and food are full of nma n4 the digestion, lungs, heart and kidneys are fighting them all the time. If one department of the body fails the whole system is -upset and sickness starts in. When anything is wrong within, a pain or illness gives quick warning, but kidney troubles are usually over looked for the warnings are confusing. Backache, dizzy spells, sick headaches, scanty, painful or too frequent urina tions are warnings you should heed in order to avoid worse troubles. Use Dean's Kidney Pills and help yourself by dieting, avoiding over-work and worry and stimulants. Drinking milk or water freely Is good for the kidneys. For years and years Doan's Kidney P! have been helping kidney sufferers all over the world. Surely they are reliable. Portland Proof: Mrs. J. G. Stephen. ISO Michigan St Portland, says: "I cam still recommend Doan's Kidney Puis and I confirm my former endorsement of them sad allow Its continued publication. We still use Doan'a Kidney Plllo at intervals and several of the family have had a great benefit from them. I have previously, on several occasions, been rid of ser ious kidney ailments by Doan's Kidney Pills." D 3oUbyaflDfea!rraJrlrt50c hbstet'feumCo.

I use TIZ every time for any foot trouble." - You can be happy-footed just like me. Use "T1J!" and never suffer with ten der, raw, burning, blistered, swollen, tired, smelly feet. "TIZ" and only "TIZ" takes the pain and soreness out of corns, callouses and bunions. As soon as you put your feet in a "TIZ" bath, you Just feel the happi ness soaking in.

Inflamed, aching, sweaty, smelly feet. Get a 25-cent box of "TIZ" at any drug store or department store. Get instant foot relief. Laugh at foot suf ferers who complain. Because your feet are never, never going to bother or make you limp any more. spoke on the preparatlors for the school children s parade. "The possibility of securing the field meet for Portland at this time." Mr. Hawkins declared, "was due to the co operation of the Rose Festival Associa tion, and we are grateful to them for what will be probably the greatest ath letic event ever held in the Northwest." ICE CREAM ACT INDORSED Dealers Agree to Support Measure Proposed by Dr. Mnrcellus.' Ice cream dealers yesterday agreed to give their support to an ordinance proposed by City Health Officer Mar- cellus to regulate the manufacture and sale of ice cream. The measure will be sent .to the City Council next week. As it stands it requires that ice cream have not less than 12 per cent butterfat, unless it contains nuts or fruits, in which event it can have not less than 9 per cent butterfat. The measure provides that before any new manufactory is established" a permit must be procured from the City Health Bureau. It was proposed originally to bar the manufacture of the product in basements. To this the dealers ob jected. DRIVER'S TRIAL DELAYED Witness in Case Against F. VV. Avers Unable to Appear.
