MONEY FOR SOLDIERS

viii Be Sent to Col. Fitch For
the Sick Boys.

a short time ago word was received in
this city and published in the Eagle that
the soldier boys who we're sick a! Chick
amauga were suffering COZ want OF proper
food necessary for lnvalids. Besides hay
ing a scarcity Of proper nutriment they
also lacked medicine. bedding. clothes and
innumerabIe things. The war came on
so suddenly that the war department was
III prepared for such emergencies. Il was
suggested that the citizens forward money
or the necessaries to the commanding OH
GERS who would see that they reached
those to whom they were intended. Many
of the officers found It necessary TO spend
their own money in order that some OF
the soldiers could have beef tea, Ice
lemons and other nutritious foods and deli
cacies. The government is rushing things
as fast as possible in order to furnish all
that IS needed, but so far have have not
got around to It. In order that hospital
service will be lacking in nothing the
patr!otic women all over Kansas set 10
work Immediately to raise money ana
such other needed things as were required
with the result that the sick soldiers are
now faring very well. Wichita ladies not
TO be out-done by those of any other
CITY have raised subscription Of nearly
one hundred dollars. It was under the
personal supervision of Mrs. J. o. David
