Soup Houses

have been suggested by two or three citizens, who know the wants of the poor, and who are prepared to labor to prevent suffering. It is almost impossible, in the conduct of charitable enterprises, to guard against impositions; but, because there are impostors, ready to take advantage of every good work, is that a sufficient reason for allowing the truly needy to suffer? The plan of establishing soup houses in this city has been thoroughly tested on former occasions, and worked well. It will be equally as available for good this winter.
