by The same organization during the entire season
last year.
For all relief organizations in this city this sum-
re! has been an unusually busy one. and those
who bring aid TO sick babies have all found their
resources sorely taxed. The exceptionally intense
heat July is largely responsible for this condi-
ton and added it is the fact that larger num-
ber Of families than ever before unable TO pro-
vide themselves with the necessaries Of life. To

letter written by boy sent out by The Tribune

children who are sent TO the country do suffer
from this trouble to the extent. If they did
the fathers and mothers and missionaries might
object sending them to the country because OF
the destruction TO the hard earned clothing But It
may have been the fault of the clothing. IT was
too old and ragged, too small possibly. A great
majority Of the children do suffer from this aiment
however. and besides their delicate white skins be-
come sadly Drowned and scratched from running in
the and pulling their small bodies through the
brters in the pasture lots
