MRS. BOOTH YET ILL
BUT OUT OF DANGER
Condition Recently Critical, Noted Re-
iigious Worker Passes Safely
Through Operation for
Appendicitis

NEW YORK, March 3.-Mrs. Balling-
ton Booth, leader of the Volunteers of
America, and for many years identified
with rescue work and charitable enter
prises, is on the road to recovery after
several weeks illness following an op-
Grafton for appendicitis performed hero
some time ago.
Following the operation Mrs. Booth
became very low, and 1t was at first
feared she would not live to carry on
the good work which has occupied
practically all of her life.
For several years she has been In
bad health and has on numerous occa-
sions been stricken with sudden illness
while conducting meetings in various
parts of the country.
Mrs. Booth became identified with
charitable work many years ago. She
first worked among the "slums," where
she did much to relieve the wretched
conditions of residents in this quarter
of the metropolis.
She began systematizing her work
and finally went to the front of the
ranks of the Volunteers of America.
She has many followers all over the
country.
