DEATH AT MELLEN
From Marshfeld Times

From Marshfeld Tines
Frank E. Tice, the popular travelling
salesman for Sprague-W Warner COM
pany can today, consider hiself a
lucky man and thankful for being
alive. At Mellen last Thursday, Mr..
Tice came very near losing his life.
AS it was the Ford which he uses in
making his large territory was smash
ed to smithereens and he himself was
badly bruised, the result of crossing
the 500 line tracks in that city while
a train was heading his way. The
train was making a flying switch and
without the least warning Mr.. Tice
was struck by the cars. He was
thrown quite distance and was lucky
enough to escape with a very bad
fracture of the right shoulder and a
sprained ankle. He was accompanied
home the same evening by a doctor
from Mellen. At the present time he
is resting as good as can be expected
under the circumstances but it will
be quite some time before he will be
able to take to the road again for
his company.

HOME PLANNED
FOR SUFFERING
INF ANTS
Garden Club in Move to Provide Care
For Tubercular Children.

Tubercular infants are homeless
so far as hospital facilities are con-
cerned.
Women of the Home Garden club
are hopeful of correcting this plight
by working for the establishment of
a hospital or home for babies afflict-
ed with that disease. No provision
has been made by any local institu-
tion for the care of tubercular babies.
The treasury of the Garden club
contains $500 in Liberty bonds and
1t was agreed unanimously at the
meeting of the executive board yes
terday in the Wilder building that
this amount be used as nucleus for
the movement. The suggestion was
received enthusia stically and men,
bers are anxious to get the work under
way.
Will Confer With Physician.
The executive board will meet with
DIR. Longstreet Taylor, tubercular
specialist, within a day or two to OBJ
tain his views on the subject. When
told by Mrs. C. S. Brown, president
of the club, of the plan considered by
the Home Garden Club, DR.. Taylor
replied:
''If you wish to make me happy
start such an institution, but in order
to do SO about $4,000 will be requir-
ed"
The Home Garden club interested
itself in the establishment of the
Children's Preventorium in 1914 and
donated the first S100 for the services
originated with the League of
Protestant Women.
Three of the League members who
were interested in the establishment
of that institution now are on the
executive board of the Garden club.
They are Mrs. G. S. Brown, Mrs. F.
B. Farmer and Miss Lydia Weinzierl.
Mrs. W. j. Sanborn was president of
the League at that time
Continually Aid Needy.
To work for something big is the
aim of the Home Garden clun and
children's welfare is always at stake
From time to time it makes dona-
tions to juvenile court work and in
all emergencies. The club also makes
it possible for every school child to
have home garden by furnishing
vegetable and flower seeds at reduced
prices.
"a flower, a child and mothers
heart,
These three are never far apart"
The above is the motto of the Home
Garden club.-St. Paul Pioneer Press.
Two of the ladies spoken of in the
above item, Mrs. F. B. Farmer and
Miss Lydia Weinzierl are we'll known
to some of the people in our city, who
are glad to know they are doing their
bit for the children of that city and
vicinity.
