Man Forced to Seek Care at
Emergency Hospital.

Spanish influenza has strucl;
hard in this Rock Island household.
Mrs. L. Gilmore, who lives at 1926
Seventh avenue, and her three lit
tie children are at the emergency
hospital established by the Red
Cross relief committee in the
Franklin school building. The hus-
band is blind and sells pencils each
day on the business streets of the
city in order to keep starvation
from his door.
Monday his wife and children be-
came i'll. They were taken at once
TO the hospital Mrs. Gilmore is
suffering with pneumonia, while
the three little tots have severe
colds. No one was left at their
home to care for them. The father,
being blind, was unable to help.
Tears come to the eyes of those
engaged in relieving the suffering
at the hospital, as the blind man
makes his way to the bedside %
his wife and children. He calls
three times a day. Bit by bit he
gathers sufficient money each day
to provide food and heat for his
family. but a day came when he
found his earnings were not enough
TO care for them.
Mr.. Gilmore is a familiar sight on
Rock Islands streets. His cheerful
disposition has won him many
friends who drop coins daily into
his hat and forget to take with them
the wares he has for sale.
