It will continue three j *lie- ; days. j «to r Distressing Cases Neglected. ; :1trie For some time the Provident Asso- • b elation has realised that it Is help* J vi less to handle mnnv worthy charity j ° •ies ; cases because of the absence of ade- J ail- quate quarters and shortage of funds. * Recently the question of tuberculosis t eI VI1Ull-itl* infected destitute persons, who are *toooft h eunable to properly care for them-, j llt; selves has become very serious, and, } 9 although the association has donejeire. j Everything possible, there was much | P av- | loft undone which would have been ii or | attended to had Si not been for aj*ici | lack of money to defray the expense, ji With the money derived. from the.ja fair it is the intention to establish a • nTnn- j permanent building or big suite of ur- j rooms in the down-town section ^PclirajiPdaC3red 1 where provision will he made for ain j taring for every character of ohar-?rn ! tty case. There probably will he a ! by laboratory and hospital, a dining! im- ; room, adequate office quarters, and to all else necessary in such an institution. while, too. it is thought, special are * provisions can be made for eonsump-Ing I live patients by securing a building o*. ! beyond the city limits where the airat j is purer. j tlict • One of the members of the associa- j j tion, speaking of the object of the [fair yesterday, said: “There are j srng I many instances of deserving charity | hi as dailv coming before our notice that jte- j we are utterly unable to properly | riik-| care for because we have no money j sa er- | with which to do it. We need larger ofok | and better quarters than we now si of ’ have, and we need., oh. so much else, j H rs. j Of course, in ordinary cases we are Ien 1 not handicapped much— such as pro- i e m. j viding the destitute with clothing ! wtic j and edibles when they apply for P* ad ! them, but when there are bigger j f,il res j questions, such as have been con- Si iot j fronting us for the past year, we are ; if a j unable to accomplish much/’ j Tner | Fair ill Be Elaborate.

It is desired that it 1 Pe I be understood that the fair is to he j Fe i/s no “bazar.” It will be all any bazar | de ?11 j has been, and much more.
