Dr. Brown Gift Shop Backers Issue A peal NORTH SHORE LIMITED For More Funds; Work Explained in Letter Women in charge of the Dr. Alice outcome of their sojourn here. 3arlow-Brown Gift Shop have issued the following appeal for funds. The appeal is accompanied by a recent letter from Dr. Brown, who for two years has been engafed in relief work among the destitute people of France rendered homeless by the great World War. The appeal reads: "The Dr. Alice Brown Gift Shop made $4,600--will you help to in- crease this amount to $5,000 by send- ing to the Gift Shop every discarded article in your possession? We can sell anything and everything; furn- iture, books, china, glassfare, silver, etc.-- "You may have a bit of jewelry that you would like te add to a collection that is being made to sell for the benefit of the French children to whom Dr. Brown is ministering. We have some beautiful necklaces and beads that have been lately pre- sented to the Gift Shop that will be disposed of at very much less their actual value. "Contributions to the Gift Shop will be called for upon notifying Mrs. Douglas Smith or may be left with Miss Mary Williams, Community House." Dr. Bfown's letter addrissed to Mrs. Douglas Smith reads: "Very good letter, with check en- closed, I received some time ago-- after its various wanderings--it hav- ing been forwarded to me by mistake when I was in Paris for a few days. Soon after its receipt I suffered an accident to my right eye which very nearly proved fatal and slow recov- ory from which has delayed my re- ply. "You and your co-workers in the Gift Shop have certainly accomplish- ed wonders and as a result of your efforts many children have been benefitted. "I have continued the work for the children at the Jarville school. Hav- ing the extra feeding each day they have kept in good health throughout the winter. This will be continued until the conclusion of the school year. "For the children at the Preven- torium I bought shoes or galoshes to enable them to go out in bad weath- er. Also tooth brushes in quantity. I am trying continually to teach these children the care of their teeth. "Since I wrote you last the Pre- vetitorium has been opened.

He asked that charitable organizations take the children for a period of several months and feed them. He stated that sixty per cent of the boys were tubercular.

"They were a group of nervous | creatures. As you can imagine, with | good all withdrawgp and with nourishment, good beds and good air to breath--they were soon changed into healthier looking boys. Some have returned to their homes and others have come, until now we have forty-five boys in all. "They have a cold douche every morning, a breakfast of oatmeal porridge with milk and sugar the like of which they have never eaten. Af- ter four months the improvement is noticeable. In the afternoon they have a Cure d'air on the veranda for three hours during which time they all sleep two hours. The past two weeks since the weather has been warmer I have had them play for two hours out-of-doors, naked. This is possible as we are isolated. They all enjoy their cure d'Soleil very much. Care For Wounded Boys "Among the boys I have several who have suffered severely, one who has lest a leg as the result of the bombardment of Lille, another little fellow his left arm when Rheims was bombarded, he, poor chap, has suffer- ed, two ribs had to be removed ase well. For a month I had three little girls and their brother, from a fam- ily of eleven living children. Their mother has had eighteen children in all, a record family in Rheims. "Recently I have taken two children from a nearby village. Both are suf- fering from advanced rickets and I am uncertain as to what will be the stimulants The little girl weighs less than pounds and is five and a half years old. I never have seen such a de- formed child. The boy is six and a half years old and weighs eighteen pounds. During the war the mother had not been able to buy them suff- cient nourishment, and they have liv- ed in an impossible house. Living conditions for the medium class, without sanitatiomyis bad enough, but, for the very poor, it is something terrible and difficult to realize. Lafayette Fund Great Work "The French Heroes Lafayette Memorial Fund has done much to ameliorate the suffering of the child- ren of France. Aside from their school for the orphans, of which they have twenty-seven, when their school building is finished, they will have fifty boys. They have two colonies in Le Puy, one of sixty boys, the other for the smaller ones from two to eight years old who are housed in a chateau where they have the ad- vantages of a Kindergarten. Then they have the Preventorium. It was for the opening and organization of this Preventorium that I stayed on last January as it was ready then to take care of the children and I felt it my duty to remain. However, I am hoping it can soon be: managed without me and that I will soon be re- turning home. I thoroughly enjoy the work with the children and especially with these boys who have seen and lived through so much suffering. "You may know that my days are somewhat filled as I have not had sufficient help at all times,but all very devoted. I have now two very good French women as nurses who are splendid for this work. As all of the children are Catholics and several were prepared for their first com- munion. This was a great fete for all, though. for the boys at the Pre- ventorium it had its pathetic side, as they were too far away from their families for anyone to come, it is especially a family fete. Learn American Sports "The boys of the Ecole Lafayette have been especially favored. For six weeks they were instructed by a Y. M. C. A. playground teacher, in our games, and have learned to enjoy very much the game of baseball to which they were total strangers. Madame Charles Ceverrir, directress of the colonies, has great plans for the development of the school. She has accomplished a great deal the past year, considering the difficulties, such as the remoteness of the chateau, all the deprivations from war restrictions, etc., which are im- possible for the American fully to realize. However, progress has been made and many a child who has been taken upon his sojourn at the Lafayette Chateau as one of the pleasures of his life, and the friendship betwern the two countries will be continued. "I cannot thank you enough, on be- half' of the children in France, for all that you have done for them. If vou could see them transformed you would feel more than well repaid for every effort you have made. Now that the Red Cross is withdrawing all its work in France demands are made upon other organizations to 'con- tinue the work, and there is much to be done and very few able to do it. Just what the Commission plans to | do for the future is not yet decided, | other than their school and museum work. Whgther the Preventorium continues is undecided. It is very much needed for the tubercular children. Just now there are many complications having arisem because of the delayed signin of the peace treaty, and our president is not alto- gether understood. They feel that he does not understand their situa- tion entirely. They worshiped him when he came, and expected the supernatural. . The reaction is not at all flattering. It will come out all right in time but the readjustment is difficult. With kindest remembranc- es to all and geod wishes for your- self and family, Believe me most sincerely, Alice Barlow-Brown. Winnetka Defeated The local baseball team was de- feated by the Wilmette Wizards 11-3 Sunday afternoon. Dehmlow pitched a good game but his support was weak.

TO BE REDUCED SOON Children will not longer have to yearn for ice cream cones and sodas as congress has voted to repeal the 10 per cent tax on soda water and ice cream. It will not be long before the local ice. cream parlors will again be doing the rushing business of a year ago, and children will not have to be counting their pennies for war tax. However, local ice cream dealers have not received definite information as to when the law will be effective.
