2 Ouarts of Milk and 23
v
Pounds of Ice Needed
Daily in Average
Home.
Free milk and ice.
That's what The Bee's fund means
to hundreds of poor children in
Oinaha, throughout the hot summer
months.
Two quarts of milk is the usual
dailv order for most families of five
or six children: one quart for small
er famthes. The ice is Z5 pounds
every day, or every other day.
Fund Pays the Bill.
The Visitine Nurse association
directs into which needy homes the
milk and ice shall be sent. The Bee
fund pays the bill.
Surely no one who can afford to
have as much mUk and ice in his
home as his heart desires, can coun
tenance such doling out of the neces
sities of life to suffering little ones,
without pangs f conscience about
it. The least he can do is to be
certain he has done his share to
ward assuring the permanence of the
daily necessity this summer.
Way to Help.
The way to insure continuance of
the daily milk and ice blessing is
for those who can, to contribute
to The Bee milk and ice fund. Dona
tions to date are as follows:
