The\ mother has been bravely trying to keep' the home going by doing housework, but owing to her condition this means is now, denied her. The Anglican Church people have assisted by taking the eldest child into their home, and Mr. Singlei ton, of the Carpenters' Union, has raised about £100, and is otherwise interesting himself in their welfare. >„ Anything that can be done to lighten the family's burden will be acceptable."
