band and his allowance is very low.
The Oldest is Ia and the youngest is

MRS. Fl"
This Is the sort of simple, heart-f felt
appeal which comes to The Tribune
Fund daily. There is nothing of selfish
ness, no graft-grabbing impulse here
Husbandless women with families to
support have heard of what the Fund
does for children. They love their
boys and girls, they long to get for
them what everybody is looking for
ward to these days-country vacations
attained without help.
They ask the Fund for that help
through the Fund they are appealing
to you, readers of The Tribune. Can
you give the little help they and thou.
sands of others like them need?
Sometimes the boys and girls speak
for themselves. Can you blame them
when you remember that long, hot
summer stretches before them with
nothing more pleasant in sight than the
walls of tenement houses and the lit.
tered pavements of tenement streets?
Too Poor to Pay for Health
Listen to girl whose teacher in.
spired her letter:
Dear Sir: l am a little girl twelve
years old. Ny teacher said that
should go to the country because I loos
very pail, but / cannot afford to pay

along with the other boys and girls.

A lot of folks-206 to be exact-re
sponded to the appeal for the children
yesterday. Their contributions are
acknowledged below to the total oil
more than $4,000. This is the bigge s.
total for q single day this summer t.
date.
1904 ON Enduring Honor Roll
So far 1904 friends of children have
agreed that youngsters who live in the
crowded tenements need relief anc
change from them during the summer
They have provided something more
than one-fifth of the Funds budget fol
this seasons work. More than one
fifth Of the $4,000 vacations which the
Fund aims to give this year are pale
for. Moro than 100 years Of vacation
have been bought.
That means 400 years of vacation fol-
10.400 children still to be provided for
But think what 1904 contributions
are fromea city of over 100000 PEG
pie. Aren't there more friends of chill
dren who believe in Fresh Air vaca.
tions than that in New York City? OF
course there are.
But there's only one way to prove it
You know what that way is. Send YOU
contribution to the Fund to-day anc
make life bearable for some tenement
youngster.
