BABY FREEZES
TODEATH IN FLU
STRICKEN HOME
Here's a Need To Tohch
The Hearts Of Us
All

Not so very far away from Amer
icus, last week, beautiful little baby
girl, just year old, climbed cut Of
her little low bed, crying pitcously
for mother or father. Inc nttle girl
crawled around in the darkness, lost
its way, and softly sobbed itself into
a last sleep, for
l. was one of those feAcfully cold
nights and the baby froze to leath.
It's mother and father, and two lit
tie sisters, each less than three years
old, were desperately Ill with lnflu-
enza. The family lives out some dis
tarce, they are poor and could not
hire a nurse. One of the neighbors
found the little frozen baby and the
sicN family. A sector was summoned.
He was compelled to remain in that
home all day and all night, and all
of the next day, battling desperately
with pneumonia. A few days later
the doctor was a corpse.
This instance did not occur in
Sumter county, but in another coun-
ty, right here in Georgia.
Coming Nearer Home.
But coming nearer home: About
three miles out from Americus there
is a family of father, mother and
two little daughters, poor they are
and unable to employ a nurse or a
woman. All of them are today des-
perately- i'll with influenza. Pneu-
monia is developing. The mother,
though still very i'll, is compelled to
wait on the other members of the
family, They were found by Cap
tain Knox, of the Salvation Army,
and medicines, paid for by one Of
Americus' big-hearted men, were sent
out. Captain Knox is trying to look
after them as best she can.
There are other similar cases
MANY OF THEM-in the country
districts of Sumter county, all of
them needing immediate attention.
Captain Knox and her corps of Won
derfully efficient helpers is attempt
ing to reach them, in some instances
being forced to walk miles into the
country to lcok after these needy
of ours.
To Get Car Monday.
Saturday three or four men in
Americas heard of this and said i'm
that these Salvation Army
women must have a car at once. The
Americus Automobile company agreed
to furnish a new Ford Monday, so
that immediate relief may be sent to
those now in distress, for these fam
lilies must have food, fire and atten-
ton. Neglect means pneumonia and
possibly death.
This car will be secured and must
be paid for Don't you want to come
in on this great necessity-and come
now? Don't wait to mail your check,
just call Dave Andrews, at home or
at the store, or T. NJ. Furlow, or ST.
las Johnson, or The Times-Recorder
and tell one of these to put you down
for $25.00-or any other amount
you care to contribute.
