ParrMi, n director of the Philadelphia Housing Association. Miss Pntrislfi In nn interiev, told nf fninllM whose object poverty nnd miserable condition, investigated by the Society for OrcnnlzinR Chnrit, were found to be traceable, In lnrue part, to housing conditions, which undermined the health of the breadwinner. Miss Pnrrish discussed the housing situation in Philadelphia in connection with the joint drive for membership nnd funds, which is to be started next veck by the Philadelphia Housing As sociatlon, the Public Uducntion Bnd Child Labor Association, the Civil Service Ueform Association and the liutcnu of Municipal Research. Thec organizations hope to raise $2oT,000, to. lielp defray their operating expenses until January 1. 1021. "There arc many causes of povertv cveu in times when work is plentiful," fcuid Miss Pnnish. "and bad housing K among the most important. "The visitor from the Society of Or ganized Charity duds the father. In a characteristic household, crippled with lheumatlsm nnd unnblc to iiml a job, the baby is feverish and the two older children behind their grade in school. The mother works out and is harassed by her Ineffectual struggles to supple ment an inadequate nnd fluctuating in come by doing an occasional da'n work nnd looking after tier family between times. "The visitor finds nlso that the house roof leaks so badly that one of the two bedrooms is not habitable; the cellar Is half full of stognant water, on the sur fuce of which floats a green scum; the only water supply, aside from that which comes through the roof and down Into thrc cellar, is a jnrd hydrant; the only toilet is a vault in the ,iard shaied by other families. It is far enough away to be unusuble by the cripple or the baby or by other members of the family on cold or stormy night, but near enough to poisojthe air If windows arc left open In suslmer. "The socict's task of putting that family on its feet again, ot making It self-supporting, of giving the children n fair start in life, is hopeless while the house remains as it is. So the Philadelphia Housing Association is called in to do its share-by persithding or bringing pressure to bear upon tile owner' to mend the roof, pump out the cellar, and install a sink and water closet. Last icar the association had more than 8000 propcities under its supervision where similar conditions nuftTe its services necessnry. "For j ears the four organizations which nne planning the membership drive have conducted a nonpartisan, hon-political fight for better housing. schooling, civil service and goM-rnment i c'onuuiojis. i no city at targe slioum put ItsPlf behind this united civic cam paign" for n better Philadelphia."

How can you be sure that the bread and milk your children eat, is really pure, beyond the shadow of a doubt ? There are rigid laws to enforce the purity and food value of milk. And at last there is a bread whose purity and nutrition are safeguarded as jealously as the purity of milk. w v iSyir-'-U" '"-" fv- ' Bond Bread and Milk the perfect food for growing children Here are six essential food elements which every human being must have without which a child cannot properly grow: 1. Proteins (Tissue building food.) 2. Carbohydrates (Energy producing.) 3. Fat (Heat and energy producing.) 4. Minerals (Lime, phosphorus, salt, etc.,) which build bones and regulate bodily functions. 5. "Vitamines" (growth producers.) 6. Water. Bond Bread and milk together contain each of these six necessary food elements in almost perfect proportions, in the most easily digested form. Bond Bread's pure food laws even stricter than gov ernment regulations No state or city pure food law ever passed is as drastic as the self-imposed laws which govern: 1. The purity of every ingredient in Bond Bread. (Guaranteed by the Bond of the Kolb Bakery Company) 2. The perfection of the process which makes every grain of wheat yield its utmost in nourishment. 3. The spotless sunlit cleanliness of the bakeries where Bond Bread is made. 4. The scrupulous care with which Bond Bread is kept untouched by human hands from the time it leaves the oven until it reaches your table. iVzlLsaiM 'si'.
