SICK BABIES’ FUN The Summer Charity Enters On Its Seventh Year, Many Contributors Were Waiting for the Fund to Open. Bresh Air Excursions Will Supple: ment the Free Doctors’ Work. THE SUBSCRIPTIONS, Balance on hand, including Fresh-Air contributions... $15,246.68 Pupils of Miss i.

From the threshold of its seventh year the beautiful Summer charity sends Greetings to its tens of thousands of friends and supporters, During its existence the Sick Babies’ Fund, which keeps a corps of free doc- tors in the tenements all through the warm months to stand between death and the cradles of the children of the Door, has done good that is beyond Gtatement or computation. Of figures to explain the Fund's worth, there is a Plenty, but figures have not the thrill in them that one peep into a cheerless home, with destitution and despair quar- tered on its hearth and a gasping child in its crib, furnishes. If the stories told by the free doctors could ail be printed @t once, or the anguish and suffering they represent could be summarized in @ single article, and then the hopes and Joy with which the Fund has+replaced all this gloom and heart-sickness, were Pictured in the same connection, some fdea might be formed of the wonderful ents results obtained by this char- ty. In the course of a single Summer the Fund doctors visit thousands and thou- @ands of the homes of the poor. They knock at every door and inquire after the health of the children, “Is any- body sick here?” the physician asks, and {i there is an affirmative response he enters. Primarily he is seeking for ailing children, but if the patient is an adult or an aged person and the condl- tions demand !mmediate medical atten- tion this is given. The Fund doctors know no discrimination in their work. ‘They are missionaries of health, charged with helping, curing and caring for ali ‘whom they find that need the ministra- tions of charity, and netther nationality, reed nor color is considered by them in the discharge of their duties. To the @aving of the little ones, of course, the fullest energies of the physician are Dent, and how well they have succeeded fn doing this 1s made evident by the wide-reaching and ever-spreading popu- | larity of the Sick Bables' Fund. Each year the subscriptions to the charity have gone far ahead of the preceding year's subscriptions, and every Sping the number of supporters of the Fund waiting anxiously for it to open that they might contribute all the earlier has been larger and larger. The scope of the charity, too, has widened, and ; this Summer its field will be more ex- ‘tensive and, “The Evening World” Opes, more beneficia! than ever. Last Summer the free doctors had About 20,000 baby patients inhand, and as every child taken in time Is, as a rule, saved, it is not claiming too much to @ay that almost that number of little lives were kept from the grim gleaner. Into many of the homes where these children were suffering the doctors had to carry food for starving mothers and families, and hundreds of cases of nakedness were encountered that de- manded clothing, which was given, Free medicines, free food, free cloth- ng and free doctoring have been the features of the Fund in the past, but this Summer free excursions on the water will be added. These will be given weeky, and will begin as soon as the warm daya set in. For several sea» sons alders of the « Babies’ Fund e requestetl and urged that a fresh- air phase be added to it. Many have eent money to be used for this purpose, and this money, together with the bal- ance left from last year’s contribution: list making @ total in the treasury at the beginning of the season of $15,287.88. “The Evening World" intends to give such variety to its work In behalf of ments during months that it hopes to money and as much more, for certainly as much more wiil be sent in. As soon as the plans for the new features are perfected they will be pubished. All who wish to help save the lives of the bables of the tenements should send small or large contribution, as their hearts prompt, to “Cashier of World, Pulitzer Bullding, New York City.” #1 for Each Initial.
