 for Children? 



DAVID— Happy at Sea Breeze, Though Strapped 

 Flat on His Hack Day and N 1 < . 1 1 1 



4,500 of them in New York City and 

 60,000 in the United States are being 

 crippled by tuberculosis of the bones 

 and glands. Many who are now 



In Pain and Helpless 



can be made 



Happy and Strong. 



They are innocent victims of dark, unven- 

 tilated tenement homes and of ignorance 

 and neglect, which can and will be corrected 

 by aroused public interest. 



Despaired of 7 months ago, David will 

 soon be put on his feet, like Smiling Joe, by 

 the good care, good food, good cheer, sun 

 and salt air at Sea Breeze Hospital. 



In calling attention to these unnecessary 

 cripples and in showing how to cure them 



Sea Breeze Hospital 



is rendering a National Service. 



Prompt gifts are urgently needed to 

 continue this work. Will you help give 

 these little ones a fighting chance? 



Can you not spare $1 , $5 or $10 ? 



Sums large or small will be gratefully 

 acknowledged if sent to R. S. MlNTURN, 

 Treasurer, Room 225, Xo. 105 East 22d 

 Street, New York.

Tasty 



Green Corn 



Dishes 



It is so easy to have tasty green corn 

 dishes at all seasons if you have 



Korrjlet 



(The Heart of the Kernel) 



Far different from canned corn — and far 

 better. Kornlet is the creamy pulp of 

 green sweet corn at the height of its 

 milk, free from husks and hulls. 

 You have no idea how de- 

 licious young corn 

 can be until you j 

 have tried ^^r Look 

 Kornlet. ^^r for the 

 ^r recipes on 

 every wrapper. 

 Valuable book of 

 recipes sent free on 

 request. 



If your grocer hasn't 

 Kornlet, write us.
