THE FATHERLESS CHILDREN OF
FRANCE

A meeting of the local committee
of the Fatherless children of France
was held last night at the home of
| its chairman, Mrs. A. H. Reid. A
report was given by the secretary of
the work already done. Owing to
| the growth of the movement, the state
| has been divided into two districts
| in conformity with other war work.
Wausau lies in the Western district
and has it's headquarters in Madison.
| The plan of the work is as follows:
! Any child living in it's own home,
under sixteen years of age, whose
| father has lost his life In the war, and
who is certified to be in need, is eligi-
BILE for support.
| For every needy war orphan cared
| for at home, the French government
now pays the mother 20 cents a day.
This sum, however, does not suffice
to keep the child in full health. The
| society endeavors to make good the
| deficiency by securing "adopters" for
such orphans. Each adopter gives
| financial aid as follows:
S 10 keeps a child 1 day in it's
mothers home.
$3.Oo keeps child 1 month in it's
IlULICT . uOllG.
$96.5O keeps child l year in it's
mothers home.
Subscriptions may be paid by the
year, quarter or month, and child
| will be assigned upon pledge of
years care.
Every cent of the money subscribed
| goes to the child. Expenses are met
from voluntary donations for that pur-
pose.
Each adopter is expected to get
| into personal relations with the child
| or its mother by means of personal
| letters.
Miss Louise Underwood and Jose
phine and George Foster have pre-
viously adopted French children. In
| addition to these, the following have
adopted the children, whose names
are given:
Mrs. Joseph Smith, Alice Leroy.
Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. H. Nablo, Andre
Dunand.
Miss Alice Lyon, Jeanne Dumora.
Master Robt. w. Jones, Henri Du-
| moulin.
Mrs. Little, New Lisbon, Wis, Mar
celle Medal.
Women's Bible Glass, Presbyterian
| church, George Leroy
Garden Club, Theodore Dumontel.
Study Club, Marguerite Dumontel.
The following is the list recently
received by the local committee, and it
| is hoped these children will soon be
| taken care of by the generous citizens
| OF Wausau. Well-to-do people are re-
| minded that they are not limited to
one orphan, as many as 25 have been
adopted by one wealthy citizen of
Madison.
