Give the Orphans a Breath of Fresh Air.
The citizens of San Francisco, led by the Chronicle, are doing a good work in getting out into the country for a couple of weeks some of the poorly-clad, poorly-nourished, weakly, sickly, poverty-stricken children. Means, we understand, have been raised to send the little ones out among the trees and flowers, into fields and glad country sunshine. But they need homes to welcome them for the fortnight out. And we appeal to our readers in California to open their hearts and homes to some of these needy ones. Care will be taken to send no children who will contaminate others with any contagious disease and special attention will be paid to cleanliness. The fund pays all transportation expenses. All you need to do in order to have a part in this sweet charity is to write how many children you can “home” for two or more weeks, the sex and age you prefer, and when and where you will meet them at the train.
