EVERYBODY CAN HELP
HOMELESS BABIES.

Everybody in Florida can help make
"Baby Week in Florida" successful to-
day for this is the day when all those
who do not feel that they can take a
baby into their home and provide for
it, are pernitted-in fact, invited-to
do what they can.
In many cities and towns in Florida,
Tag Day has been arranged for, and
in those places everybody viii have an
opportunity to buy tag for nickel,
dime, quarter or dollar, to help pro-
vide for the homeless little ones of
our. state. In other cities special en-
tertainments will be given to secure
funds to help the babies.
No one need to wait to buy tag
or go to an entertainment, however,
for everybody in Florida is urged to
send contribution direct to the treas
urer of the society, Mr.. r. Y. Coving-
ton, 361 st. James Bldg, Jacksonville,
Florida, who will welcome even the
smallest amount, so do not let this
day go by without sending in through
some source your little mite or big
bit to help provide for Florida's Home
less Babies.
It is the earnest hope of the Chill
dren's Home Society of Florida that
enough funds may be sent in as re-
suit of this day and "Baby Week in
Florida" to provide for the necessary
expense of taking care of every baby
that will come under the care of the
Home Society during the present year
The work Of the society is supported
entirely by voluntary contributions
and should have the hearty support o.
the entire state.
