Salvation Army Makes a Discovery and a Plea. Captain Henrietta liigney and Lieu tenant Minnie Carpenter, the officers in charge of the Salvation Army work in this city, have found thirty-six women and children whose circumstances are most pitiful. All are in need of cloth ing and most all in need of food. Very few garments, for the poor, have been sent to the army quarters during the past six weeks, thus making the supply much less than the demand. Clothing for children of all ages is adly needed, but in most cases the mothers arc able to make over gar iimits which are too large, so do not hesitate to send .whatever serviceable wearing apparel you may have. 'ou can bring joy into sad hearts and sun shine into darkened homes by helping the overburd.'neil mother in solving the problem of how her children are to be clothed. The oftii-ers have found eases of pov erty which have to lie -ecu to be be lieved.
