THE cry OF THE CHILDREN.

Is there more pitiful or touching
sight on earth than willing child?
Starvation and cold In winter seem
more dramatic and perhaps attract
more attention, but the sun kills its
thousands where cold Stays its tens.
In winter it is possible to keep chill
dren warm. but IN summer in the
crowded streets of a swelterinE city, It
is often, alas! humanity impossible TO
keep sick babies cool, and, like flowers
plucked and left to wither, the help
less children in the cities faint and
fade away. Richmond has made great
strides in raising the standard of the
milk supply for purity and food value,
and this will doubtless save many a
home from the heartbreaking sorrow
of a child's deathS but pure milk is
not all. The mothers must have ice If
the milk Is to be kept sweet and the
children are to be saved
Unsolicited contributions are being
sent to The Times-Dispatch for the
City Ice Mission. and we appeal to all
who sympathize with tired mothers and
sick babies to help this good cause.
