FA RM AND FRESH A1R—LIFE: 1OSTA YIN FA CT OR Y—DEA TH: A PROBLEM FOR CHARITY Physicians Say Boy Must Live on a Farm. and ■ the Afflicted from early childhood with hard work for his lot sine time when most care of nurses, an Atlanta child of poverty now has death staring him in the face unless somebody comes to his rescue II** I* a child of misfortune, too. lie has nobody in the world but a mother as I toot* as he, but with all her poverty and hard work she Is proud—too proud to have her name published to the world. But She hi if»*w hoping and praying that Secret ary J. C. Logan of lhe Asso ciated Charities can find some one to help her little 14-year-old Benny. Like his mother. Benny works In a mill—or rather he did work until his awful affliction of epileptic fits caused him to get mangled in a machine. With the wolf howling at her door, the poor mother knew not which way to turn until somebody told her about the Associated Charities. There she went with her only boy and laid bare her pitiful tale. Of course the first thing to do was consult a physician and to one Secre- MLIren were In "«n‘ *■»* '«'<• But hi. re- . ... port mi not eneuuraglng. It wo. that Benny would never get well except un der conditions which were impossible for his mother’s finances. He must stay, on a farm for six months or a year. He must have three good meals a day with a rest after each meal and just enough work to keep hint healthy. Why, the poor mother didn't even have car fare to send the lad away providing the farm was secured. in addition to Ills other misfortunes. Benny has but one eye. The other lost a f~w years a awful fits was upon him and. too, his affliction has made It Impossible for him to remain In school. As a conse quence he can neither read nor write. It is a problem for Secretary Logan. There Is no Institution in Georgia where epileptics may be taken care of. Of course when they Irecome badly ad vanced there Is a place to send them— the asylum at Milledgeville. but when that time arrives there Is no hope for them left. There Is hope now if somebody who has a farm Is willing to take Ben ny and give him a show. That’s ull h* wants and the whole trouble with him In the past was that he never hod a show. 1'Mte seemed to have had 'h* cards stacked on him ever since he iii>t saw the fight. With all his afflictions he is naturally bright and strong for one of his age would make somebody a useful i» ,v around a farm. But where D 'he farm? Unless he gets op one tte’ •!•"* tor says his end Is death. Somebody may give him a lift* » <rC * retary Logan hopes so, anyway.
