STONE HOME IS
NOW A HOSPITAL
Seven Young Children Of One Family
Being Cared For and Five Of Them
Have Typhoid Fever.
From The World of Monday:


The Stone Settlement Home on Cen.
ter street, designed by its builders as
a charitable institution and incidea
tally having an educational feature
has now been transformed into a hos.
pital. This has been brought about By
a train OF unfortunate circumstances.
About three weeks ago William VIII
son, of near Darkesville, died OF ty.
phoid fever, leaving widow and
eight young children, the oldest being
about IA years of age and the young.

members of the family were all at
tackled with typhoid except the young.
est two. The mother and the oldest
daughter were brought to the Kings
Daughters Hospital last Thursday
This left FIVE young children sick at
home and nobody to care for them ex-
cept some nelghbors. Mrs. Guy Het.
eel president of board of managers OF
the home was informed of the case
and arose to the situation. She at
once telegraphed to Ocean Grove for
Miss Elizabeth Hondrick, superintend-
ent Of the Stone Home, and the two
deaconesses, Miss Catherine Wheatly
and Mrs. Ada Wiebe, who were spend
ing their vacation at the seashore.
They promptly responded to the call
and part of the second floor of the sec
ond floor of the home was turned into
a hospital for the reception OF the re-
naming children. Four were brought
in last Friday and the remaining three
this morning, and new the seven will
be taken care of.
But this is not all Of the story As
stated, the home was not built for a
hospital. and at best there are only
four bedrooms in the house. Mrs. Het-
eel purchased three cots for some of
the youngsters today, but a lot of 9th
er things are needed. And right here
is a good chance for the chartably
disposed to lend a helping hand.
Sheets for single beds, ice caps and
rubber sheets are needed. The baby
and next older child (about three
years. have no clothes, so some cloth.

of every heart, but such sympathy
should be OF practical character in
order to help along this enforced hos
