cHAEITT-sr JOHN GUILD.
One Of the curious sights Of city life
nowadays is the sailing Of the Floating
Hospital Of st. Johns Guild. on It's cx-
cuF4iOns for mothers AMI sick children.
No oEe who has never tried TO raise chill
,'r-u ia . crowded city. even with com
l4auJ of unlimited U.e;tuS. knows what
,uWruriu@ care it demands. and the
children Of the poor seem literally born
.,ut 10 die. How can il be any OTHER
way, when the gir they draw from their
Sr,t breath is tI-ick with foulness as the
Mississippi water with silt. and they are
lur-cd by uyrrworied mothers. worn to
,'.iu and bones with care. ClrIdgerv, and
miserable food. The saddrst sights OF
hc poor quarters of the city are not
women in liquor pIodding the frozen
TouHd with bare purple feet, as | have
