AN APPEAL TO JUsTicE-LovING
MEN AND WOMEN.
Doing the Square Thins-Are You

The Ministerial Alliance of Denver,
together with the Denver Peoples AL
lance, after a thorough investigation
of the case of ]. w. Jones, have de-
cided that his is a worthy cause for
the charity and assistance of all col
ored men and women. 1t appears
that in self defense he killed another
man. He was tried and sentenced to
hang Dec. Is, 1914. Ex-Gov. Ammons
reprieved him until May, 1915. We
must raise 5000 to get his case to
the Supreme court before that time.
Jones is without friends, has no mon
ey and faces death. We believe the
Supreme court will rule in his favor.
We must raise 5000. We appeal to
you. Act at once. Send your dona-
tions to Titus S. Rector, 2716 Welton
street, Denver, Colo.

marked results in a reasonably short time.
 The cause responsible for infant nor taHty and morbidity in the larger num- per or cases are poverty, ignorance and
 social conditions under which we live.
 me problems encountered by the nurses
 are often overwhelming and the social
 problem Is often much more difficult in
 solving than the medical one.
 Superstitions that prevail in the homes
 or many families indicate the dense ig- horance the nurse must cope with.
 All sorts of matters reach the ears of
 the nurse. Often 1t is necessary for her
 to decide some problems entirely irrele- want to her visit before the mother will
 listen to any instruction as to how to
 feed and bathe the baby.
 Children's Hospitals In Birmins sham The infant welfare work is the ounce
 of prevention and is certainly worth the
 pound of cure; but the children's hospi-
 tai Is certainly the logical step for the
 sick child after the doctor, visiting nurse
 or dispensary have considered home no
 longer the right place for the baby. Birmingham Is here fortunate Un-
 doubtedly few cities have a more attrac- tive hospital than the children's hospital in this city
 Though the hospital Is small and not prepared to take courageous diseases, yet the equipment for surgery and general
 children's disorders is beautiful and com plete.
 A full nursing corps is installed, chil-
 dren getting, when necessary, almost in- dividual attention The building has large, sunny wards, with little white beds spot lessly clean, screened porches to be used
 on the warm days and big green lawn for convalescent patients. The attending physicians at this hospital are all chill al Ifptc CttPu md crn foI- ists for ear eyes and throat are also on the staff
 The hospital is absolutely free and can accommodate 25 children at time. The hospital has a small appropriation from the city. Otherwise it is maintained by private subscription and the annual doll
 bazaar
 The diet kitchen of this attractive in-
 stitution is spendidly arranged for com fort and convenience. Here again one Is struck with the exquisite order and clean ,liness of the place.
 A large vegetable garden in the rear
 of the building supplies the nurses table
 with wholesome food.
 One desirable feature at the Children s hospital and certainly very necessary precaution is the isolation of typhoid and colitls cases. Even the little habits of
 the babies are looked after. One darling
 little fellow, who always smiled when told ne would be President Of the United States yet had several fingers bound
 up to stop him from sucking his hand This institution is a positive evidence of what is possible when the entire man agement has nothing at heart but the health and welfare of the children of the community.
 The Children's hospital invites visitors
 and cooperation with other institutions. | From this ideal little hospital, with it's | sweet and wholesome surroundings, d | visit was made to the Hillman. i What a sad metamorphosis. Here one must stop and sigh for the things that

are not and ought to be. The children's s ward is thoroughly una ttractive, the beds were not clean and the odors were op- pressive. the ward was overcrowded, two children having to be placed in one bed this being no unusual occurrence Ty- p|oid and pneumonia cases side by side, children just operated on for adenoIds across the room from infectious diseases. ready victims to germs.
 Across the hall in the colored ward the little ones were enveloped, they could hardly be called dressed, in long red and brown smocks, hot and uncomfortable looking and none too clean.
 Here too, side by side, were found all kinds of troubles.
 The whole place spelt Charity" word so distasteful to the mind of thinking and feeling humanity. Our modern civ ilization has corrupted this word into sling at the poor and linked it with aims giving, robbing 1t of any semblance of it's real significance.
 All down the line the poor little sick children looked so pitiful and unlxempt. so Ill and tired. Nothing but a few do- mated toys around relieved the blank hospital state. Here daily are received from 20 to 30 patients
 Two nurses attend to both the white and colored children's wards. No matter how proficient they are it would be too
 
 way right to the number of patients en- trusted to them at the Hlillman
 Would 1t be so impossible for the pa tients who overcrowd this small ward to be sent to the Childrens hospital for treatment? Would it not be better for the two hospitals to cooperate in every way and give he babies a better chance ? This cooperation would tighten the bur den in each place and certainly add to the comfort of the little sufferers. Every agent for child welfare should work to this end, that the number of pa- tients in the children's ward at the Hill man should not exceed the number of beds and the Children's hospital be used freely as an outlet. Think first of the sick babies and then of the possible de- sire to show up a large number of pa- tients and receive increased appropria- tions, if necessary-and this Is made pure ly as a suggestion-give some of the coun- tvs bounty to the upkeep of the Chil- dren's hospital arid send them the babies Necessity of Birth Registration Tn all countries birth registration Is a long established fact. The mere name, birth registration has an academic, cold ly statistical sound. but nothing could be farther from the truth.
 We quote from a pamphlet called "Steps In the Evolution of Baby Welfare Work In Chicago: Birth registration is the guiding star, leading those who are learn ing to be wise men and women of our day to the cradle of new born citizens. There are many good gifts which the community has to bestow, a wealth of knowledge and good will which offered at the cradle, will prevent blindness, save life, ward off illness and disaster, make mothers more efficient and happy and give babies a real chance"
 The population grows out of children and children must be babies first Each community should whole heartedy give itself to the task of making being a baby a less hazardous pursuit.
