NEEDS $50 FOR BABY BOY
Charity Society Asks Aid, as
Mother Is III in Sanatorium.

A two months old baby boy must be
without its mothers care during the next
ten months because she is III with tuber-
culosis and is at a sanatorium in the
mountains, where II is believed she has
every chance Of recovering her strength
His aunts have agreed to look out for the
other children, but how to care for the
baby was a problem which his father
could not meet.
An opportunity TO board him where he
will have good care and be away from the
city during the summer has been found at
a cost of $40 a month. but his father has
doctors bills to pay. and cannot meet the
whole of this expense out OF his earnings
as a freight handler besides paying his
own expenses and those Of the other chill
dren.
The Charity Organization Society asks
for $50 TO relieve him of half the cost OF
the baby's care Gifts may be sent to the
society at los East ed st.
