Out of 262 cases we have had but six
deaths When one considers the con-
dition in which these cases reach us,
when one considers the underfed stock
from which they come, and also their
nome surroundings and out of II cases
of gastroenteritis but one death due
to this alone, don't you think we are
accomplishing something? We lost
three cases Of broncho pneumonia, but
in each case there was the complication
of measles, and every physician knows
that the combination is usually fatal.

The children receive two meals daily
beside lunches of bread and milk. When
one stops TO consider just what these
health giving meals mean in disease
resisting power it is hard to estimate
the amount of good accomplished.
These little stomachs are ever ready
for something, and a large quantity of
food is consumed. Donations of all
kinds of groceries are very acceptable.
and remember these very children may
by the children of your laundress,
chambermaid or cook for these chill
dren are in the playground because
the mother is working. or because they
are SO depleted for lack of proper
nourishment, and we have thought II
wise to put some rich red blood into
their veins.
Fourth of July they had q treat of
ice cream donated by the Smith Ice
Cream company and then came hack
that night for fireworks and colored
lights. Do you realize just how little
it takes to make child happy?
