that doubt was dispelled last night DR..

TO OUIT-CLAIM BABIES.
Orphans Home Will Refuse Non
Resident Children.

Hereafter the Indianapolis Orphans Home
will refuse to receive babies of nonresident

child to the institution, so that ii may find
homes for them. This is the announcement
made by Mrs. John B. Elan, president of
