THE EVENING STAR starts today
a fund to supply ice and outings, free
Of all charge, to poor mothers and sick
babies during the coming summer. 1t
starts the fund with contribution of
500, and asks the support of all who
believe in quick and practical charity.
whatsoever We do unto the least of
Mine, so also ye do unto Me.'
Arrangements have been made with
the Union Ice Company to honor the
tickets which will be furnished by THE
EVENING STAR. These tickets at
first will be in the hands of the eleven
district physicians of the Board of
Health, as these doctors come in con-
tact first with the poor and the needy.
These tickets, signed by any of these
physicians, will be honored at any one
of the nine depots of the company.
Each ticket will be good for twenty-five
pounds of ice.
Health Officer David D. Chandler and
his entire staff volunteer to assist in
the distribution Of ice all summer
where it will do the most good. The
plan has the strong approval of the
health officer, he saying that it is the
most practical which has yet been de-
vised for the immediate and prompt re-
lief of the needy poor.
At present the fund will be devoted
to the purchase of ice for the sick
babies. Later, as the fund grows, out
ings will be planned for babies and
their tired and overworked mothers.
When it is said that only district
physicians of the Board of Health may
sign orders for ice it is meant that
that is the temporary rule. But any
reputable physician, who comes first in
contact with an urgent and needy case,
NAV write an order and it will be i'm
mediately honored.
Whut a Dime Will Do.
Of course the S10O THE EVENING
STAR has given will go only little
way toward relieving the distress,
which even now exists, and which Will
he greater as the warm weather comes.
Money is needed. Every penny sent to
THF EVENING STAR for this fund
will be expended in the purchase OF ice
and giving of excursions. There VIII
bo absolutely no other charge. Ten
cants will provide sufficient ice to make
