 "Oh, yes," was the answer. we pro- vide for all such cases. We have two lit tie patients now, children. that we have been keeping in the hospital for treat ment. l want you to see our babies and the improvement that has taken place in them"
 And following the suggestion we went into the chldren's ward and there found the patients who were being cared for.

 How long has she been here?" I asked, turning to the good sister who still crooned low, kindly word to the or phaned child.

 "The trouble?" I asked. Starved" said the gentle sister of charity, and then turning to the little pale delicate child she said
