Show OODEN 'S SALVATION ARMY. Of late the local Salvation Army hoi been placed under command com-mand of a young man and his wife who arc fast winning the confidence confi-dence and co-operation of the community. They have eliminated the collecting of funds from saloons and other resorts and are placing their dependence on others. So far they have met with an encouraging response. These Salvationists are deserving of much. The man and his helpmeet receive from the Army $10 a week for their services if they collect that sum over and above all expenses of the organization in this city. Often they receive much lees than $10 in a week. The writer asked them if they could exist on that sum during these trying times of high prices, and the young man said they could, as their wants were but few and they lived on a plain diet which never inflicted dyspepsia to cause a drain on their resources by a call on the doctor. "Why, wc manage to save a little out of our allowance," said the captain. "Then you have solved the problem of the cost of living," remarked re-marked the Standard man. "And would you object to allowing us to print your dietary?" With worldly gain so completely set aside, as in this case, the men and women who give their lives to the work must be deeply in earnest and, therefore, entitled to our confidence and worthy of our aid. v - |
