These parties, in each case. are the sec
ond ones 10 be received at the various
Tribune homes this summer. When the
homes have been filled this time the total
number Of children received at them SO
far this season will have reached $50.
The parties TO be sent to the Paul Dew
ereuX and Shepherd Knapp homes are
made up Of a special class Of children.
All Of them have been selected through
the New York Association Of tuberculosis
Clinics. The children are not, however,
iubercular. In fact, each child is guaran-
ieed 10 be free from this disease.
They are all children who have come
under the notice Of the clinics because I'm
oernourished and seemingly predisposed
toward tuberculosis IN some Of its forms.
These youngsters are 10 be kept at the
vacation homes for three weeks each, in
stead Of the usual period OF two weeks.
Their condition is such that the shorter
period would not give Jhem time enough
to gain strength and weight which are
necessary If the children are to come
through their formative years without
contracting the disease.
Since special food and a special routine
are prescribed for these parties. only
children from the clinics will be enter
famed al the two homes for the next
three weeks.
