DAY FOR

Many Articles Needed in the
Line of Provisions and
Garments

Thanksgiving Day will be observed as
the annual donation day at the Babies
Hospital, on Washington street above
Second.
Few people, unless they have visited
the Babies Hospital, have any idea of
the scope of the work. There are num-
erous visiting days, which are an
nounced in the newspapers from time to
time, and the public is cordially in
vited next Thursday, when visitors will
be received by members of the board Of
managers.
Those in charge Of the hospital are
Matron Mary L. Wright and three
nurses. There are now fourteen bab-
les in the hospital.
Needs Of the Hospital.
The hospital needs everything but
cornstarch and oatmeal, and there is
enough of these two articles on hand to
last for months. All sorts of psovis-
ions are acceptable, such as flour, po-
tatoes, rice. groceries, jellies and canned
fruits. There is scarcely a thing in the
house, except as it is bought from day
to day. Crackers would be very ac-
ceptable, particularly in tin cans, which
keep them fresh, for everybody knows
that crackers are an ideal food for bab-
les.
All sorts Of garments are needed, too
AS the age limit is three years, it should
be remembered that clothing bis
enough for children over that age is OF
little use. The babies are in want OF
shoes and stockings, dresses, petticoats
hoods, coats and rubber shoes. Other
things which the hospital needs con.
tinually are half pint bottles, rubber
sheeting. etc.
