 The aged father of the family is unable to work. being crippled. One son is mentally incapacitated and a daughter is cripple. The mother would work if she could leave the family, but they have need of her care at home
 The furniture of their house is practically a minus quantity. One hedstead with barely enough clothes and mattress laid on the floor com plete the bedroom arrangements They have table. but not enough chairs to go around
 The stove that they have had has become so old that it is of no use, and baking is out of the question. Officer Canning has made call through the papers for a stove, but no replies were made. He is especially anxious that some kind hearted person who is over ly supplied with stoves will please |, call him up and he will call and take thestove to the family. The case is desperate and needs immediate action.
