nal sum babies of all ages up to hve
years are taken care of, and the popu-
larity of the enterprise has been prov
en- by the need of a new building, the
house of ten rooms being filled every
day, and there are more applicants
who cannot be accommodated.
The women wanted to increase the
building fund, and last week a Rub
ber Day" was suggested. Advertise
ments We're inserted in the newspapers
announcing that certain stores would
provide barrels into which persons
could deposit rubber goods OF any
character for the building fund of the
Day Nursery. The school children
were interested and barrels were pro-
yided at all the schools. For week
every boy and girl in town had been
gathering rubber for the Day Nursery
When the collection closed 1t was
found that tons of rubber of every de-
scription. from bicycle tires, rubber
shoes. rubber coats, balls, even down
TO rubber bands, had found its way
into the barrels. The women expect
at least 81 600 will be realized. The
rubber has been contracted for by
Cleveland concern. In their enthusiasm
many pairs of rubber shoes that had
seen but little wear We're thrown into
the barrels by passersby. 1t was a
great success, and an old iron and rag
day is in contemplation.
