THE BEE: OMAHA, FRIDAY, JANUARY 10, 1919. South Side MANY FAMILIES ASK CHARITIES FOR ASSISTANCE South Side Branch Caring for Seventy-Five; Influenza Cause in Many Cases. Seventy-five families are being cared for on the South Side by the Associated Charities, according to ., Mrs. Anna Born of the South Side branch.

With little or no financial reserve, they are forced to appeal to the charities in case of sickness. Former South Omaha Soldier Sends Mother . Mexican Souvenirs When Mrs. B. J. Arnold of 4410 South Twenty-fourth street, opened a letter from her son, Pri. C. E. Ar nold, and saw two criso bills float lightly to the floor she exclaimed. with delight, Why the boy s been promoted." On closer investigation, however, she found that the bills, one a five and one a 20, were made in Mexico. The letter explained that they were worthless in the United States. Young Arnold, who is a former South Side boy, is stationed at Fort Bliss, El Paso, Tex. Several weeks ago, he writes, his company was equipped for overseas duty.

Jut as they were getting on a train for the port of debarkation, however, orders were received to remain at Fort Bliss, and his hopes were shattered.
