Everyone in the city who appre-

phere yesterday and that of today can
readily imagine what the Fresh Air
Camp at Burlington affords to chill
dren for two weeks in the heat of
summer. Thunder showers yesterday
cleansed and freshened the air in the
city. the oppressive heat is gone for
the time being, at least, but probably
not for long. Up In Burlington, away
from smoke and heat-collecting build
ings and pavements, the air is always
fresher than it is here. Small con-
tributions from generous citizens will
make 1t possible to transport 300 chill
dren from the heat and oppressive
ness of the city to the freshness and
'life" of the country for a period of
two weeks. Their minds and their
bodies will benefit. Those who wish
