RUGGLE TO KEEP “WOLF" FROM DOOR Waghington Family of Six in . Dire Need as Yuletide B Approaches. The bravest struggle to keep the Wolf from the door may be defeated by sickness. Expenses increase; income stops; savings painfully accumulated penny by penny disappear dollar by dollar There is one Washington family of #ix members, father, mother and four children. Every one of them, except the baby, needs medical attention. The father recently suffered a nervous breakdown. That is sometimes sup- posed to be a malady of the prosper- ous—a sort of luxury among ailments. But it sometimes comes to the poor. This man had known for months that everything was not right. that he to see a doctor and take a . yest. He couldn’t afford to do it. Unable to Earn Subsistence. When the smash came, it disabled him entirely. For weeks he was not able to earn a penny. Now he has re- turned to work, but he can work only for short periods and his income is Yery low. It is far from sufficient to pay both household expenses and doc- ! tor's bills for the rest of his under- mourished family. The Associated Charities sent two of tla children to the “h'!"“"vfl Health camp last Summer and, in lhml outdoor environment with plenty of wholesome food, they made remar able progress. They would hard! have been known as the same young sters when they returned home. Thls‘ only shows what could be done if there were money enough to care for them rly. P rwenty dollars a week is needed, in addition to what the man earns, to remedy this situation. The Associated * Charities is asking $1,040 for the year and feels sure that at the end of this . period the father will be sufficiently recovered to take the entire burden on his ewn shoulders. H Sickness Brings Dependency. Sickness, the Associated Charities “ {nvestigators have found, is one of the most frequent causes of dependency | . and the hardest to guard against.

And this mother, with five children to care for. ranging in age from 5 months to b years, could easily make a living for her family if she were free to do s0. For she is a trained professional worker. But what, meantime, would become of her habies. who demand her hest care and training? Her husband. In u reckless moment, committed a serious oftense. for which he is now paying the penaity.

The father and moth er with their three bright children had great expectations for the future in this land of their adoption. But illness, the great white plague, has suddenly dissipated their high hopes and has prevented the father from continuing _to support his wife and children. The mother is too frail for more than home duties. The three children are well and strong. The old- est daughter is looking forward to the time when she can leave school and become a bread winner. Recently, when coal was needed for the family she velunteered to store it away if it would save expense, but-this was hard- Iy suitable work for a girl of 14. Twenty-three dollars a week is asked for, or $1.196 for the vear. so that the man cun continve his treatment at the hospital without worrying over financial matters at home.

Forsaken by her husband, this young mother was left with two little children to care for. She is facing the future bravely and is anxious as soon as Billy, the younger., is old enough to enter kindergarten, to find part-time employment by which she can contribute to the support of her two little ones. Following an (liness, this woman is regaining her strength and courage. Her troubles have only served to increase her svmpathy for other folks whose plight seems worse than her own. When one of her neighhors recently fell ill and was obliged to go to the hospital. thereby leaving ber own children without 3 caretaker, this mother picked up her two Kkiddies and moved over to her neighbor's home, to stay there until matters could be adjusted. Eighteen dollars a week is needed to keep this home together, or $936 for the mext year. Previously acknowledged, §146.15; C. V. ; Mrs. W. J. B, $5 E. A, . 857 A $1; Charles W. Drayton, $8; M. H.
