Home, Fourth and Van Buren, streets.
In addition to furnishing the children
a delightful place to play. the Provi-
dent association serves them a nour-
ishing meal at noon, an event of much
importance and enjoyment TO the chill
dren, who do not worry. as some
times Provident association heads do,
over where the money is coming from
to provide the food.
The daily visit of the huckster to
the Gage Home is hailed with glee
by the children. They watch with
inter whether 1t is to be green peas,
new potatoes, green beans or toma-
tables they are to enjoy later. The
luncheon menu for the children al
ways includes a vegetable, fresh If
possible; eggs, or with equivalent in
meat; and bread and milk.
The cost of the food needed for the
average lunch furnished the children,
including supplies for one day only is
estimated as follows:
1315 quarts milk ......................$ 81. 10

At the rate Of expense quoted above,
It costs the Provident association 81
a month to feed each of the twenty
seven children, or about $110 monthly

startlingly true to Mrs. Darlene New
by secretary of the association, who
realizes thar funds available to pay
the food bills of the children are but
from 81 to IS weekly.
But the day nursery is established,

Mrs. Newly is sure. The association
will not cease furnishing the children
