Kineo that tlmo one after another
of their unpaid hills have been dis
covered, ranging from IliO to $1.50.
They left behind them a few nrdeles
of furniture, which the creditors will
realize n few dollars on. A sewliiu
machine, left behind, it has developed
has never been paid for and uuder

assistant by John Perl in his under
takirg parlors. From the first, it
now appears, they began to run bills.
A mouth after their arrival, they were
joined by Mr, Henlger, who posed a:i
ii railroad detective. As the family's
credit was running low. he made the
rounds of the creditors, explaining
that ho Intended to settle all bills out -tUnndiug

when he would receive a substantial
reward for the enpture of a noted rail

on grounds for a criminal complaint.

To the Ktlitor:
For tunny yt'ars lit HuyV and
(rirls' .Aid Society ut' Oregon has
made an annual appeal for funds and
donations prior to Tliiuiksi(iviiij
time. Tliis year we nro making n
fcpe-ial appeal for the abused, nc
ftlcrti d and dependent ehildren of the
state. The work of the soeicty is in
creasing, tho eost of living has oiie
up considerably and yet our inetme
has decreased very nrntciiuliy. Tins
makes it imperative that w securo a
large number of donations, as well as
about $fdl(M) in easli.
During the past year the society
aided some K8L children. Presides its
regular timet ion of earing for the
dependent children, it has done n
givat deal of speeial work for (Tip
pled children whose condition could
not be remedied without the aid of
some organization such as ours. Our
orthopedic surgeon has done very re
markable work with a boy of Ui, who
seemed to be in a hopelessly crippled
condition. Kor months his feet and
legs hiive been in easts, but now he
w mirs normal sinus and attends
sehool. A little pirl, who has never
been able to walk because of par
nlVMS, is now able to get around very
nicely, (.'lie girl with a decided curv
ature of the spine has been straight
ened to such an extent Ibat the crip
pled condition is hardly noticeable
nlien she has n eont on.
Vt believe that the children in onr
reccixiug htujie arc reviving llic bc-t
possible care, con-ideving our laeili-
ties. We have a graduate dietitian
from nyr State Ac.riculturul college
who takes entire charge of tin 1'ood
problem and dues verv excel lent
wiirk; this insures our children being
properly fed. They all attend public
school and live as nearly like children
in the normal home ns it is possible.
We fully believe that no institution
in Oregon takes better care of its
funds than does our society. Our
hnoks are audited quarterly by Whit
field, Whiteoiub & Co., nnd every
cent received and expended is ac
counted. All our bills are audited by
a committee of the hoard of trustee,
at each monthly meeting.
