WILL YOU SAVE THE LIFE OF A BABY?
A heart-rending appeal for aid and assist-ance
for the little children of Austria Hung- :
ary has come from the .officials of that coun-try
and so critical is their condition tha t
immediate succor must be given in order to
prevent - the entire extermination of the
younger *'" generation . Hundreds of little
children are dying every, day for lack of
clean body linen , with which to wrap them.
As it is now the mothers are forced .to use
soiled newspaper as a substitute for cloth,
and as a consequence , the babies have
become poisened and stricken with disease
eventuall y causjng death. [
In their , appe. ^,to :the people of America ,
the officials do n6t; ask for money, although
that of course would be accepted; all they
ask is that several pieces of linen, a napkin
or two, which can be easily spared by the
avera ge household , be given to the i-ause.
One or two napkins will save the life of.^a
Hungarian baby. Will you save it?
The collection of the above mentioned
articles for this district has been placed in
charge of Morris Lovinger , the tailor con-nected
with the Hershey Store. Mr. Lov-inger
will greatly appreciate . any contrib 'w-lions
of any nature and will arrange to have
the articles forwarded immediately.

Harrisburg defeated the Pjtcairn Five in
a good game played last Saturday evening .
The final score was 50-£S. Although the

one-sided it was, on the contrary , full -rf
eliciting moments that kept the spectators
keenly interested throughout the ygainei

the men were very unluck y in their shots:
