HELP THE BABIES
Reader Makes Appeal for Observance
Of "Baby's Day" Septem-

Der 4.
To the Editor of the IntelIigencer.
SRA great many people of Wheel
ing neither understand nor appreciate
the splendid work being done by the
Kings Daughters Day Nursery" in
caring for the babies of the poor. We
all know there IS nothing so helpless
as baby; nothing that requires such
tender care and attention, but among
the poor many mothers are over
burdened and have not the means TO
provide even the ordinary comforts OF
baby life. Here IS where the Day
Nursery steps in and not only lifts
the burden from the shoulders of
many a weary mother and affording
her the opportunity of helping to main
tain the family. but provides the little
ones with the comforts and care of the
very best home.
Though not a member OF this or
gAnization, the writer feels that every
person in Wheeling should be inter
ested and be glad of an opportunity
to Help the Babies
On Saturday. September 4. II a tiny
tot stood on each corner Of our streets
with little rattle extended and the
plea Help the Babies" think you
that anyone would refuse to buy?
That is what ii viii mean when the
Kings Daughters Greei you on that
