CRITTENTON The death recently of Charles N. Crittenton in San Fran­ cisco removed one of the world's greatest laborers for humanity. He was the founder of the numerous Florence Crittenton homes throughout the country for the reclamation of fallen girls. A number of years ago a weH-to-do merchant, care-free, careless and happy in a worldly way, his little daughter Florence was ta­ ken by death. To him it was a grief unforgetable, and he thereupon gave up active business and consecrated his life to practical .humanity and the salvation of lives and souls. believed the greatest demand for his labors was in the reclam­ ation of young girls who had been led from the straight pathway, and to this he devoted himself in the name of the little daughter who had been called on high—Florence Crittenton. Thus it came about that a Florence Crittenton home was founded and that other Crittenton homes followed it; that Flor­ ence Crittenton Circles were organized throughout the country for the saving of girls and the direction of these rescue homes, and that Charles N. Crittenton, active to the last in the great w’ork, became an evangelist of note in its furtherance. The methods of reclamation are all of a practical nature; there is not the mere telling of a girl that she ought to do better—she is placed in the home and taught the arts and the virtues that go to make a useful and an uprightt womanhood. She is not simply told what is best for her, but all that she should know is inculcated into her as a part of her life, and under these new and favorable conditions she realizes for herself the hideousness of the old life from which she was snatched. It is said that a gi eater percentage of those who enter the Florence Crittenton homes are permanently reclaimed than in any similar institution of its kind. Little Florence Crittenton’s memory will long live on through her father's devotion to it, and hundreds of saved and chastened hearts throughout the land wiH ache with the thought that him to whom they owe so much is no more. But certainly such a man must have found a sweet peace in the realms of reunion with his own dear departed ones. The Red, White hold-up price. It may be considered whether it would not be well to organ­ ize a Thanksgiving strike on turkeys, to be general all over the United States. If for the Thanksgiving dinner the people of the country would substitute' some other dish than turkey for the the centrepiece of the holiday dinner, it would be an effective lesson to those responsible for the hold-up prices, and the price demand would at once fall to a fair figure. Turkey a few days later than Thanksgiving would taste nearly as well, and would be much more mercifdi to the housewife s pocketbook. At the rate of increase annually in the price of turkey, the cost has already reached beyond the means of a prudent house­ hold, and some stringent measure such as that proposed will be necessary if the turkey is to continue to be the great Amer­ ican Thanksgiving bird.

Sir Thomas Lipton recently said that it was a good thing to be born poor, according to an exchange.

Peek- statement has its merits even if it is not new. Mr. Dooley says that a man is born rich or poor, and he can’t change it. The mere fact that he is born in a home of poverty does not make him poor if he has the gift of acquiring riches. Wherefore it may be deduced that it is all right for the man who is born to be rich to LET US STRUGGLE be born poor, while the man who is born .poor should have rich John D.
