MANY ARE CURED

lust year tHe ptOplc VI Cdf hH-
tonic were asked to donate to fund
for crippled children that they might
walk again and they responded with
5000 the first day. Next Tuesday,
beginning at o'clock. they will be
asked to respond as literally in the
second annual tag day of the Crippled
Children's Association to continue the
good work.
A score and more of children re-
ceived treatment during the year with
the aid of the funds donated By San
Antonio and the appeal is made again
that the children who are now in the
wards at Santa Rosa and fifteen who
are on the waiting list may get the
use of their limbs: once more and use
them as normal children should.
Nine cripples are now at the Santa
Rosa Infirmary waiting to be operated
on. get the use of their legs. and be
out in the open. They range in age
from Daby three MOI tbs old to
a girl "a years of age. They have
been there all the way from two to
eleven months. Several have just ar
rived for treatment and others only
lack one or two operations before they
will be able. to walk again.
All Are Durable.
Special drugs are needed for this
the operations, drugs, nursing. and
= countless sorts of valuable equipment
are needed to cure the cases at Santa
. Rosa and the others that are waiting
for q chance to walk.
The cases are not invalids but are
healthy children. Some are walking
on crutches now and others still are
not able to use them. They are all
durable and only a fund to fl
nance operations is needed to make
them normal children without the
handicap of misshapen limb to hinder
them through life.
They are happy, every one OF them,
from the growing three-months7old in
FAINT to the largest with the expectation
that they will not be forever forced
( to get about with crutch.
Drive Starts at O'clock.
The association will begin its drive
Tuesday morning Mt s o'clock and will
continue until night. A preliminary
/. meeting of alumni of the infirmary
+. and Others taking part in the drive will
be held Monday morning. Here final
arrangements and designations for the
drive will be made.
