October 29, 1927 WINNETKA TALK Maud Ballington Booth. Prison Reform Leader, Next Sunday Eve. Club Speaker Maud Ballington Booth, known throughout the world as the "litlte mother of the prisons," will be the speaker at the Wilmette Sunday Evening club, | October 30. Her subject will be, "Out of the Shadows." The soloist this sunday will be Miss Mary Welch. High among the names of women who have devoted their lives to the world-wide cause of human salvage is that of Maud Ballington Booth. History says, "Her name leads all the rest." Multitudes of humanity-loving hearts have been thrilled by her story and that of the Volunteer Prison league, which she founded and by her own efforts has sus- tained and vitalized. More than 85,000 men while serving prison sentences have ascrbied their com- plete regeneration to it and are still its loyal supporters. National prison reforms have been promoted, and a number of splendid and valuable rural properties in widely separated states, temporary homes for discharged prisoners, have been acquired, equipped, and are now in operation. To these, friendless prisoners go immediately when discharged, remaining until they or the League find employ- ment where they can win back that which was lost. Well has Mrs. Booth named these homes "Hope Halls," and the homes established for sick and Maud Ballington Booth starving, helpless and blameless wives and children of prisoners, "Rainbow Houses." Many thousands of "graduates" from "Hope Hall" have become useful and respected citizens, Practically none has returned to crime. Hundreds have their own happy homes. Some are in positions of great trust and re- sponsibility and two are earning over $10,000 a vear. oo Frederick E. Lewis Co.

They realize the importance of demanding the best--especially when the difference in price is so trifling. Hydrox eaters not only know their food values but they know the relation of food values to health. They know that Hydrox is made with pure cream. They know that Hydrox is flavored with real fruits. They know that Hydrox 1s sweet- ened with pure cane sugar. And because they are jealous of health, they are particularly zealous in demanding these health-giving food values in ice cream.
