HOME FOR INCURABLES
RING TWELFTH

The Home for %Incurables, which was
established by the Kings Daughters
of Tennessee In March, 1908, will soon
enter upon its twelfth year Of unselfish
and faithful service to humanity. The
last annual reports submitted by Mrs,
Re II. Vance, president, and the other
officers at the recent state convention
Of the Kings Daughters, showed that
in spite of the heavily increased cost of
maintenance, the home has been able
to care for running expenses and with
in the past few years has reduced the
bonded debt from $40, 600 to $4,000,
The maintenance Of the home Is pro-
vided for almost entirely by the "a
ceipts from the annual tag day in Mem
phis, which years ago became an es-
tablished institution. The list OF Off
GERS includes many women prominent
in the social and club life OF the state.
A fund has been raised and set aside
for the construction OF an annex, which
will be used as an isolation ward, but
owing to the almost prohibitive cost OF
building this year, the erection OF the
annex has been deferred until some
time during the coming year.
