BUY your TAG.

Once year tho Instructive Visit

Tomorrow Is that day, Buy your

needed to point out tho duty OF help
Ing to care for the sick through the
bcneficcnt institution OF the visiting

heart is direct and convincing. No
body should have to be told at this late
date of the good these gentle Samar-
itanS do. Yet few perhaps know how
scanty arc the funds with which the
work is carried on. From all sources
last year the income OF the associa-
tion was sS,3i5. OF this, S2,Si? was the
contribution OF an insurance Company
for service rendered its clients and
Se6@9 the amount raised on Tag Day
The remainder cane from the
churches. the city of Richmond, the
Board of Health and private sources.
But during tho year 25.T26 visits
were paid to total of 1900 patients!
Few charities pay more magnif
cent dividend in the comfort and re-
lief OF suffering than this. These re-
suits Were achieved by n STAFF of
nine, a head nurse, an emergency
nurse, and seven regulars who covered
the city by districts. They visit the
sick who are without proper care,
give them such attention as is i'm
medately needed, Instruct the fam
lily In matters of diet and hygiene and
assist In securing proper facilities for
nursing and treatment. Indeed, there
Is not mucn that n good woman, train
ed for the work, would do In house
of sickness that Is not done. It is a
pleasant thing TO remember them as
tender hearted women, bent upon nm
salary. rather than as abstract in
structive nurses.
The heart OF the city should be
moved to open and lavish generosity
for such cause. Nothing less than
$4,000 should be thought OF tomorrow
