LDRENS S LARS F To the Ktlitor: For tunny yt'ars lit HuyV and (rirls' .Aid Society ut' Oregon has made an annual appeal for funds and donations prior to Tliiuiksi(iviiij time. Tliis year we nro making n fcpe-ial appeal for the abused, nc ftlcrti d and dependent ehildren of the state. The work of the soeicty is in creasing, tho eost of living has oiie up considerably and yet our inetme has decreased very nrntciiuliy. Tins makes it imperative that w securo a large number of donations, as well as about $fdl(M) in easli. During the past year the society aided some K8L children. Presides its regular timet ion of earing for the dependent children, it has done n givat deal of speeial work for (Tip pled children whose condition could not be remedied without the aid of some organization such as ours. Our orthopedic surgeon has done very re markable work with a boy of Ui, who seemed to be in a hopelessly crippled condition. Kor months his feet and legs hiive been in easts, but now he w mirs normal sinus and attends sehool. A little pirl, who has never been able to walk because of par nlVMS, is now able to get around very nicely, (.'lie girl with a decided curv ature of the spine has been straight ened to such an extent Ibat the crip pled condition is hardly noticeable nlien she has n eont on. Vt believe that the children in onr reccixiug htujie arc reviving llic bc-t possible care, con-ideving our laeili- ties. We have a graduate dietitian from nyr State Ac.riculturul college who takes entire charge of tin 1'ood problem and dues verv excel lent wiirk; this insures our children being properly fed. They all attend public school and live as nearly like children in the normal home ns it is possible. We fully believe that no institution in Oregon takes better care of its funds than does our society. Our hnoks are audited quarterly by Whit field, Whiteoiub & Co., nnd every cent received and expended is ac counted. All our bills are audited by a committee of the hoard of trustee, at each monthly meeting. li. K. AKN'K, Supeliotc-.delit. 10,779 CARLOADS OF LI PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. 2 3.
