work Is of the greatest interest to peo-
pie Throughout the city. II now cares

very unforeseen arises upon the path
way of their life TO change the order
OF their existence. and the Sunnysde

ba oies that you wonder over and over
why the moeny isn't oversubecribcd in |
a day. One would scarcely waver be- |
tween the price of new gown and the /
precious life and soul OF little child I
Tomorrow is all built on today. The
babies who lack care and attention |
now will ever SO swiftly grow into our /
problem of wretchedness and misery
for tomorrow. The day nurseries stand

time and they must needs ask your
aid to salvage what they can, as the
river OF life fows all too swiftly pas.
