Fort Smith, Ark., Lodge Looks After Sick Newsboy

Thanks to the benevolence of Fort Smith, Ark., Lodge No. 341, a little newsboy of the city who is suffering from tuberculosis of the bone, will be constantly supplied with fresh milk and have a real chance to win back his health. The youngster had been ill for sometime at his home in the city's settlement district and was showing such slow improvement that the county physician had prescribed plenty of rest and wholesome food. The boy's parents are very poor and because of the high price of feed, a cow, which was owned by the family, was about to be sold. This would have meant that the child could not have a sufficient amount of good, fresh milk daily. Two welfare workers, appreciating the serious ness of his condition, applied to Fort Smith Lodge for assistance in feeding the cow and as a result the Lodge is now supplying bran and other feed stuff and will continue to do so as long as necessary.
