IT WILL GIVE ONE CHILD A DAYS PLEASURE
AND RELIEF FROM THE HEAT.
Tire last week has been a busy with all those
philsnthrop;c societies who interest themselves IN
taking the poor out OF the city for breath OF fresh
air The terrible heat has told cruelty on the health
OF the swarnlng myrads Of Inhabitants OF me tene-
inent-house districts and too much praise cannot De
awarded 10 those and women who nave Iapored
with increased ardor under the most trying circum-
stances
The Association for Improving the Condition Of the
Poor for example which, in addition 10 supporting
i,s seaside homes AZ West COney Island for the &C
cornnodation Of poor mothers and convalescent emil
dren takes parties Of about go OF the poor FOR days

been Obliged in order cope with the most serious
cases, increase the number OF each party TO from
so TO 700 The relief afforded the poor in its
mas been great. In addition 10 the trip good food
and dip in the surf are given the children This,
added 10 the effects produced by change of air.
does them incalcuable amount OF good.
Some idea OF the expense to which the association
has been put may be gathered from the facr that
during the hot spell they gave out TO their excur-
sionists between five thousand and six thousand
quarts of milk. When 10 this is added the enormous
expense groceries, meat. ice and transportation.
II will be seen that the treasury has been taxed 10
the utmost. II IS therefore. wonder that the
ISOLATION makes an appeal 10 the public for assist
ance. Much suffering is sure TO follow from
after effects OF this unusually trying The
transportation cost for each child is low as II
cents. Thus. any VINO spare II cents can
give chi.d one days pleasure and by doing
lelp 10 reduce suffering among the poor Checks
