have been _Saved from Lives of Sin and given a chance to earn a Respectable Living_.

Our Doors are Never Closed

We are in touch with every _Slum_ and _Vice District_ in the city--every Prison and Hospital, and with the Poorhouse at Oak Forest.

We are Non-Sectarian and Co-operative with all Reform and Christian Works

A dozen Christian Homes and a Munic.i.p.al Lodging House care for the friendless down-and-out man. The

Chicago Rescue Mission's Woman's Shelter

cares for the Friendless "down-and-out"

Woman. Our Shelter is not a "Rescue Home" in the ordinary sense of the word, but

A Place where a Clean Bed, Food, Coffee and Clothing may be Obtained by any Homeless Woman

not a subject for Police interference, for One or More nights as she needs; and where she is given Definite Aid to Immediate Employment and a.s.sured of shelter until she receives her week's wages.

FIVE THOUSAND AND FORTY NIGHT'S LODGINGS TOGETHER WITH OVER SIX THOUSAND MEALS

have been furnished to cold, hungry, Stranded Girls and Women this year by Our Inst.i.tution.

Seventy per Cent of These Have been Aided to Secure Honest Employment,

but scores have been turned away because we lacked Equipment, Warmth, Funds, etc., to aid them.

Our Work Reaches Every Slum and Redlight District in the City

the Hospitals, Prisons, Poorhouses, everywhere unfortunate women are found.

We co-operate with Churches, Missions, Employment Bureaus, Charitable Inst.i.tutions, etc., throughout the City

Our Inst.i.tution has Thirty-one Large Rooms

[Ill.u.s.tration: A Corner in Our Woman's Shelter]

What We Need--

We need to add _Forty More Beds_.

We need a _better Hot Water System_.

We need a _Systematic Employment Bureau_.

We need another good Outside Worker.

We need Coffee, Clothing, Coal.

We need _Your Help, generously_, in a supreme effort to raise _One Thousand Dollars_ with which to accomplish all these things.
