issued in the thirty-six days, ommitting
Sundays, since the depot has been
opened. This means total of 1S1 500
meals that have been supplied the
needy women and children and does not
include the fever medicine and free

equal to demand made by those really
deserving.
The country has been generous to

it is believed that help will continue to
come when this is published.
