BABY HOSPITAL CAMP IN
URGENT NEED OF $4,000
Benefaction Will Have to Be Aban-
doned Unless Sum Stated Is
Quickly Subscribed.

Unless about $4,000 is raised within
the next day or two the Baby Hospital
camp. opposite Camp Good Will in
Rock Creek Park, will have to close.
In that case about thirty babies will
have to be sent back to their homes in
the city. deprived of proper food and
medical attention. and it is regarded as
practically certain that many of these
sick babies Will die.
The Associated Charities announced
today that the Baby Hospital camp
faces a deficit of about $4,000, due in
part TO failure of expected contribu-
tons, and in part to the excessive cost
of the kinds of food required by the
infants under treatment at the camp.
But One Course Open.
Unless this deficit can in some manner
be made up Immediately there will be
no other course than to close the camp,
as it cannot be continued without
money.
The babies at the camp are all under
two years old, and are accompanied by
their mothers. An expert baby special
list is in attendance. and trained nurse
care for the infants, while the mothers
are instructed in the proper manner of
feeding and caring for their children.
The babies have the advantage of out
door life. spending all their time on the
porches a t the camp.
At this time only two, according to
Miss Bell of the Associated Charities.
are well enough to make it safe to re-
turn them to their homes. The remain
ing twenty-eight. Miss Bell said. are in
such condition that to deprive them of
the fresh air, the nourishing food and
the expert medical attention they re-
ceive at the camp may easily prove
their death warrants.
Need for Money Urgent.
THE need for money" said Miss Bell,
lis urgent and immediate. We have a
deficit in our budget of more than
$1,000. We cannot keep the camp open
without money. and unless this deficit
is made good at once the camp will
have to close in day or so. The babies
will have to be sent back to their homes
in the city, and in their condition many
OF them are certain to die. This is the
condition we are facing"
