*_ Baa" too THE TENEMENT TOTS, Oh, How They Will Suffer These Hot Days But the Free Doctors Will Soothe All They Find. ‘She Sick Babies’ Fund’s Work Now Begins in Eurnest. THE SUBSCRIPTIONS. errloway,_cknowlotant Don't forget the babies. The poor little ones’ sufferings have already begun. The hot weather will gap their young lives. Heat will accel- erate the dread work of disease, pov- erty and starvation among them. ‘The Sick Babies’ Fund doctors are at ‘the crib sides of many of them, and these will surely be saved. In the very warm days the free doctors are kept going, morning, noon and night, never gesting while there is a tiny patient to relieve or a portion of their districts un- eovered. From this time forward the Bick Babies’ Fund’s beautiful influence for good will be felt all through the tenement houses. Everybody that helps the Fund will be helping to save little lives, to lift burdens of grief from mothers’ hearts, to brighten homes dark- ened with despair. Less than a dollar will make some baby your debtor for fe, though it may never know it. Your Spare coin cannot be invested to better advantage than in aiding this beautiful eharity. Here are three more stories told by the Free Doctors of their first day's ex- Deriences this year: L Among the first cases I called upon, @tarting in on our Summer's work ‘mong the children, was one on First @venue; name, Dakin.

Alizarine Dyed Ve Serge Suits $12.50 We claim that these serge suits at $12.50 are better than any other serge suit ever made, This is why : The cloth is made for us by James Garnett & Sons, of Leeds, England, from the best Australian wool, The threads are twisted very hard, making the surface of the cloth clean and smooth, and preventing it from easily catching dust and dirt. The makers war- rant this cloth not to slip at the seams and not to crock, It is dyed with the wonderful new Alizarine blue and black, Better than logwood and indigo vegetable dyes, because it don’t wear off at the elbows and but- tonholes; cleaner, free from all impurities and absolutely fast. Exposure to light, sea water or boiling in soda has no effect whatever. Alizarine dye has been intro- duced, and has now almost en- tirely supplanted the old logwood and indigo dyes in the following countries: Australia, Roumania, Turkey, Sweden, Norway, Italy, Russia, Germany and Japan. It is now being introduced in most of the military departments of the old world, and is used ex- tlusively for all Japanese military cloths; the Prussian Military Supply Department and the Ger- man Imperial Navy. vults with eilke Hnim its with plala lining §t2.90, Our great purchases abroad give us an advantage in our mer- chant tailoring department that other tailors don’t have.
