MRS. GILL SLIGHTLY BETTER,
BUT STILL SUFFERING

Mrs. Gilrs condition still remains
serious. but the nurse, Mrs. Skies.
stated this morning that she thought
she was improving, and that they
hold out hope of her recovery. Her
burns are still very painful, but with
careful nursing it is hoped that these
will soon begin to heal.
Mrs. Gill's body is kept cncased in
ointment, which has to be put on
several times daily. This calls for
clean cloths in large quantities. and
the trained nurse states that she has
hardly enough to last through today,
and that any ladies who have any
old worn sheets, pillow cases, or
white cloths of any kind that can b"
torn up, that they would be CRATE
fully received and would add much
to the lady's comfort. A good man,
sheets have been donated, In fact.
they have about enough bed linen but
old cloths are needed now; also
night gowns. We feel sure that
these necessities will be forthcoming
as soon as it is learned they are
needed
Donations are still being made, but
more money is still needed. One
man, who is only making $1.5O per
day gave $5, saying, II went in and
saw the poor woman, and although
my family need that money, | would
rather 20 without meal or two
i'm order to help that much" Such
help as that is what is appreciated.
and we feel sure that many who have
already subscribed, as well as thosa
who have not, will be glad to assist
further, as it is certainly greatl,
needed
The amount that has been receiv-
ed has been placed in the bank and
is being expended by the United
