MONEY TO AID
SUFFERING LAD
Contributions Pour in to Pay
For Treatment of Con-
SUmptiye Boy

That the Sunshine Society made no
mistake in relying solely upon public
support in taking in charge the IA yea
old consumptive boy now in the Della
ware Anu-Tuberculosis Society's San
atorium in Brandywine hundred, case
that has been detailed in THE EVEN
ING JOURNAL several times, is rap
idly becoming evident in the number
Of contributions coming to Mrs. Jane
w. Pennewell, State president Of the
Sunshine Society. and placed In the
care in THE EVENING JOURNAL.
The fund for the young patients re
lief now amounts to s34OO. With his
weekly board amounting to $3.50 a
week, this sum insures his mainten-
ance for nearly ten weeks. As it is
the purpose of the Sunshine Society
to keep its charge in the sanatorium
until next fall, when it Is expected that
he will have recovered, II is estimated
that the society will need at least 500
to defray his expenses. Nearly half OF
this has been contributed by a gener-
IcAo RAhiAN WAliAll UIdllltdllY Two
weeks, and 1t is now hoped that be
fore the beginning Of another month
the Sunshine Society will be able to
announce that its friends have replied
in full measure TO its appeal and that
happy future for, the young patient
is assured.
The case as detailed in THE EVEN
/ ING JOURNAL is now thoroughly IA
miliar to the public. The boys rescue
by the society from surroundings that
would have assuredly brought his death
within a few months or less; his being
sent to the Brandywine hundred sana-
torium suffering with incipient con
sumption, at the expense of the So
ciety, although it was sorely in need
of funds as the result Of the heavy
demands made for its aid during the
industrial depression of the winter, and
its subsequent appeal for public assist
ance are facts we'll known to readers
