FOUR FOUNDLINGS AT MONNETT HOME

Addition To the Children’s Home Adds To the Cares of the Matron and Deaconesses. Four more litle girls were' brought to the Monnett Children’s Home on Wednesday. They came from Normal, 111., which is the foundling home of the deaconess work, and are younger than it had been expected to take In' ttls’Eome, but one of the deaconesses in the Normal home became ill and Mrs. Wilson volunteered to take some of the little ones under the guardianship of the home here inRensselaer. They range in age from 18 months to five years and the interest of the home is very much fircreased. Old clothes suitable for babies and little girls will be welcomed at the home now and the Republican has been requested to ask friends of the home for contributions of this nature.
