Florence Crittenton Refuge Home
.'Issues Holiday Appeal. .
' Mindful of the support given by friends
in the past, the Florence urittenton
Refuse Home has issued an appeal for
special remembrance for the Thanksgiv
ing season. The appeal says, among
other things:
Tho death, this past week, of Charles
B. Crittenton. the kindly founder of these
homes throughout the land, a philanthropy
which constitutes his finest monument, calls
attention afresh to this helpful work in
aid of young; girls whose steps need guid
ance to a firmer path.
Many motherless girls come under our
care, and grateful letters are received from
all over Oregon, thanking us for help given
at a time when a kind, firm hand was
needed in guidance to the path of honor
able womanhood.
Our friends may feel assured of our sin
cere thanks for any household supplies, in
cluding fruits of all kinds, as the trees on
tho premises gave light yield this year, and
we face a dearth of such supplies during
the Winter.
The appeal Is signed by Mrs, W. P.
Olds, corresponding secretary of the
home. It is stated that donations may
be called for more conveniently If the
home is called up by telephone. East 318,
Or addressed by letter at Bast Thirty

MOTHERS' SCHOOL IS PLAN
Oregon Congress to Obtain Lectures
by Leading Authorities.
Mrs. Lora C. : Little, who is teaching;
a class in health culturea in Hood River,
spoke before the Oregon State Congress
of Mothers at its monthly meeting In
the City Hall last Tuesday. She de
clared' that right living secured health.
"I live It; I breath it; I teach It," she
declared. '
Mrs. Little dwelt on the importance of
right breathing, giving illustrative exer
cises. Wrong breathing, she said, was
caused by improper - dressing, - and by
the improper attitude of both mind and
body. . At the : close of her lecture, the
speaker answered .questions propounded
by her auditors.
: The Congress ofMothers is planning a
thorough course of "mother training", for
the benefit of both mother and child. It
is securing, through the National con
gress, the printed lectures of recognized
authorities upon the subject, to be read
and discussed throughout the. state,.
