Because as a result of breathing air that is impure, their blood is impure and,farls to give their digestive' organs the stimulus they. must have for. perfect work.

Even had the cost-'o'f sup. piles and labor remained stationary, the substantial Increase inthe num- ber of patients would alone account forr the addition to the charity's debt, which at the close of the fiscal year was•$109,000, This debthas become an embarrassing burden.

The income which must be forth- coming to finance this absolutely essential work figures out at seven hundred dollars a day; and, as there is no-endowmyut fund, all but a fraction of that amount has to be derived from individual benevolence.

While making her visiting rounds one morning a nurse of the'Muskolta Free Hospital for Consumptives dis- covered a particularly sad case. On a dingy street, in a hovel which they called "home" she found tt another dying of consumption. The house was in a filthy con- dition, soiled garments, unwashed dishes, and food, lay about, even In Lhe bedroom itself there stood a loaf of bread and an uncovered bottle of milk. Amidst it all two children played, both too young to help or to realize that they would soon be left alone. The mother died before an ambu- lance could be summoned. This is but typical of the wastage of consumption; the poor are its especial victims. Too Ill to work they are unable to supply even the neces- sities of life, You will wish to help.
