NEED FUND FOR
CHARITY WORK
Family Relief in Southside
Demands Attention, Says
Robt. Krakauer.

Z Inc Associated CHARITIES uI6 elLl@
needs a fund OF money for the relief
Of wives and children Of wage earners
in the southside who are down and
out with influenza and pneumonia,
many OF them dying" said Robert
Krakauer, president Of the charity or
ganization Saturday morning. We
earnestly appeal to the public to spare
us what money is possible to spend
for this humanitarian purpose, max
ing checks to the Associated Charities
and mailing or delivering them to
headquarters at z05 South Campbell
street at once.
The Red Cross Is doing wonderful
work in caring for the sick in Aoy
hospital and searching through the
southside for those who should have
medical treatment and nursing. but It
is not doing the family relief work
providing the hungry ones with food
and clothing, because it is distinctly
the charity associations business to
do that. while the Red Cross takes
the ones who must have medicine and
care. There are hundreds Of worthy
working people pinched hard by this
cold. rainy weather. without funds to
provide meals while their men and
women are sick and efforts must be
made as hard as we can to relieve
them
a SO bill now IS worth 500 later
While the Red Cross workers are
doing their best, let Us try and save
the families who are not in bed. but
hungry and cold
