Makes Appeal for Funds
For Denver Institution

DR.. A. H. Auslender. special rep
resentative. will speak tomorro"
morning at 10 o'clock at the syna-
rogue Tefereth Israel. at which time
he will make an appeal for dona-
ton to the Ex-Patients' Tubercular
Home at Denver. Colorado. More
money is needed to carry on the
work and it is for that reason that
Or. Auslender will speak in New
Britain.
The home has been established
for many years and enjoys the
support of both Jews and Gentiles in
all parts of the United States. The
home takes care of those patients OF
Denver tubercular sanitariums who
have been discharged and on the
road to recovery. but who have
either been unable to secure en-
|plovment suited to their needs, or
who have been unable to pay for the
proper care out of their own pockets.
The institution takes these people
in. as we'll as those afflicted, with the
disease. There is no charge, the
expenses of upkeep and medical care
being betrayed by contributions of
interested persons.
When patients are we'll enough to
|leave and to seek employment the
institution finds employment Of n
type which will suit their needs and
lit also lends money to any who may
desire to start in business. Young
people between the ages Of IS and
la years are not deprived of educa-
|tional facilities merely because of
the fact that they are confined to
The hospital. Those, In whom the
disease is evident In an incipient
stage, are allowed to attend school
land even the state college at Den
Yer is thrown open to them.
