POOR OF CITY ARE
IN GREAT NEED OF
ICE AND COLD MILK
Doctor Tells of Case of Great
Distress Where Lack of
Causes Much Suffering.
Hedda is a tiny little woman, and
since her Carl died she has supported
herself and six little ones by day's
work and washings. When she came
to the door to let the doctor in the
other night, after the two hottest days
so far this summer, the plump, tow
headed, baby was perched on her hip,
and the three-year-old twins peered
and smiled shyly from behind her
, skirls. John and Chris and Metta
lay on a blanket on the floor between
two windows, where they could catch
- any stray breeze that might happen
to blow.
' "What's ah this?" asked the doctor.
"Is the whole family laid up?"
"I don't know what it is, but they're
awful tick, doctor," said the little wo-
. man. "They were taken sick soon
after supper and I just had to call you.
It must be something they ate."
It was. Ptomaine poisoning was
the diagnosis, and it developed that
the children had been given a special
treat for supper that night meat, a
rare article in Hedda's little home.
"It was cheap, doctor, and I
thought the children needed it once
in a while, they work so hard. I
brought it home with me this morn
ing from the market and took it down
cellar, where I thought it would keep
cool."
"No ice?" asked the doctor. '
: , Hedda smiled. "How could I buy
ice?" she asked. "It costs money and
you know it is all I can do to keep the
babies together and buy food and
clothes for them."
It has been a hard year- for Hedda
since ber good man died and no. one
knows just how hard her struggles
have been except the doctor. Many
-rhirifahlv Inclined npnnla have nf.
fered to helo her by taking one or
more of the children off her hands,
and sometimes Hedda hat feared that
in justice to the babies she should
givis them up. She would have prob
ably done so had not the doctor en-
couraged her to keep them. "1 love
them just as much as if I had only
one," she told him. "If I had a hun
dred I'd love each one Just as well,
nd i can t bear to give them up.
. The doctor understands. He goes
as willingly to Hedda's tittle cottage
as he does to the handsome homes a
, few blocks farther up the street, and
he considers himself well paid by the
gratitude of the little familysome
thing that it not always forthcom
ing in cases of the kind, but that
never fails in this little home, where
the good doctor ia the guardian angel.
"We have many cases of such
trouble this hot weather," aaid the
doctor. "Food spoils quickly, and
these people have no way of keeping
it. Those children had been working
hard in the hot sun all day, for they
are good children and just at deter
mined to keep baby and the twins
with them at Hedda it. They need
plenty of good, wholesome food, but
even if food it brought into the house
in a proper condition, they have no
means of keeping it that way. Many
people think that charity meant coal
and shoes and warm clothes for the
poor in winter. I wish that more of
them would remember that milk it a
necessity for babies at all timet and
that ice it the only meant most city
dwetlert have of keeping their food
fresh, and ice la hard for them to
jet. .
"The Be la doing a wonderful
work among the poor with itt milk
and ice fund, whereby both milk and
m are supplied to the poor,"
