TO AID The POOR MOTHERS.
How Shall the Children'S Day Home be
Maintained
A Mass Meeting to be Held This
Afternoon to Consider the
r1atter.
natter.

One Of the most meritorfous charities
In this community, but one of which the
least has been known, is the Children
Day Home, which the good women Of
the Christian Temperance Union have
maintained on Third street, between K
and L, for the last two years.
Other institutions have prospered bet
ter because more stir has been made
about them, but none have deserved
better at the hands of the public than
the Children's Day Home-the only
place in the city where poor mothers
can have their babies looked after while
they work for support of themselves
and their little ones.
1t is only through the opportunity
thus afforded that poor widows and
mothers whose husbands are invalids,
or idlers, or who have been abandoned,
have been able to go out to earn the
money required to buy food and cloth
ing or pay house rent, and if the gen
eral public could only be brought to
realize what this means to scores or
poor families there is little doubt that
the small sum required to maintain the
Day Home could easily be obtained.
The canning season is now opening
up, and will soon be in full blast, af-
fording employment to several hun
dred persons. The work is light and
well adapted to women, and the wages
paid are fair. If all the poor women
who are willing to work can only have
their children cared for during the
working hours in the summer months,
they will be able to support themselves
and their families. Surely the well-to-
do people of the city will not refuse to
subscribe the small sum required to
maintain the home, especially if proper
steps were taken to solicit and collect
the money.
But the money has not come in, and
the question that confronts the ladies
who have managed the home Is, shall
it be kept open this summer? For the
purpose of interesting the public in
this most worthy undertaking, mass
meeting will be held at the Congrega-
tional Church at o'clock this after
noon, and it is hoped that all who can
give few minutes of their time will
attend and lend their counsel in the
matter of devising ways and means
to continue the Day Home.
1t is said that $50 per month will
maintain it, but it ought to be an easy
matter to secure 500 a month if it be
required There certainly must be at
least 200 persons in the city who
would willingly contribute a half or
quarter of a dollar month to enable
the poor mothers in the community to
go out to work for themselves and their
little ones, if the proper steps We're
taken to reach them.
However, it is to consider matters Of
this kind that to-day's meeting is
called, and it should be a representative

bark is the natural protection of the tree

in the air. as the skin is of the human body.
Just under the bark of the tree lies q cir.
